“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”

― Dr. Maya Angelou

I. The Virtue of Trust

  • Trust takes years to build, seconds to break, and forever to repair.

  • Learning to trust others and ourselves is something the ego continues to struggle with for an entire lifetime.

  • Never trust someone who lies to you. Never lie to someone who trusts you.

II. The Power of Now

  • The “Power of Now” comes from being completely present in the moment and freeing your consciousness from mental noise.

  • You can access a new dimension of consciousness by nonjudgmentally observing your thoughts, emotions and fears.

  • Instead of focusing on your life situation, pay attention to the only “real” thing – what is true in this moment.

  • The “egoic” mind exists in the past and future, but cannot function in the Now.

III. Develop A Get Better Mindset

  • Today is a gift. How will you use this day?

  • Listen to learn while unlearning to relearn.

  • Give your best effort no matter the circumstances.

  • Devote time to skill development, self-discovery and self-care.

  • Practice random acts of kindness daily. Kindness always wins.

  • Become the CEO of your mindset. Your life is no better than your relationship with your mind.

IV. Question

What's one thing I would like to do more of and why? How can I make that happen?

The Last Words…

“In recognizing the humanity of our fellow beings, we pay ourselves the highest tribute.”

― Thurgood Marshall
