The 7 Wisdoms of Living the Good Life #

 Isn’t your life about getting more wisdom, finding how to live the good life, the amazing life, how to saunter through, how to relish moments, how to show compassion, how to wander and wonder?

The question? What really is wisdom?  How do you see it, realize it, become it, absorb it, embody it, and let it become who you really are?

 Here are some wisdom ideas, backyard philosophies, that can be applied right now, today’s day, that’s money in the bank, that’s prosperity rolled up into harmonics, truths that govern the human condition. 

 #1: Enjoy it all.  No matter where you are, what your circumstance, you can enjoy more of each passing moment, each child’s smile, each opportunity you have to see Venus setting next to the half moon, Jupiter rising, to let the world pour in, let your senses absorb the experiences that rise and fall, that come and go, that lift up your eyes to something divine, hugely spiritual; just capture it in awe and amazement and pervading beauty that is ever-present.

 #2: Be ever so careful of what you are willing to let your mind think.  You have a choice of what you will let enter the sanctity of your mind; let it be governed and directed toward good thoughts, toward noble thinking.  See the good.  Look for the good.  Scan the mind for the lesson; uplift it to higher ideals and purposes that inspire.   Seek inspiring thoughts and your life stays inspired.  Feeling inspired is where to place your life’s most prized time and energy.  Do this and all things fall into perfect alignment.

 #3: Small things create big things.  Work daily on your health, on your wealth, on your business, on designing a destiny and that destiny will come up to meet you.  You will achieve and enjoy more and more of each perfect day.   Consistent powerful habits change the course of one’s life.  Be in pursuit daily…of great things, of important missions, of having a positive and impactful focus, and the world will shine.  You will be the light.  You will see the brilliance of who you are and the wonders of a most miraculous and brilliant world.

 #4: Be a curious and learning magnate.  In life, depending how you look at it, say from the astrophysics perspective, this earth is 14 billion years old, and you may be 20, 30, 40 years or older.  So that makes you a babe in the woods.  There is so much you do not know.  Delve deep each day to learn more, to grow what you know, to expand your knowledge, and your wisdom daily and this commitment to knowing more, to growing more, to expanding who you believe you are, into this infinite universe will serve you perhaps more than anything else you can do.  To be in a constant state of learning, of refining what you know, of expanding your ability to communicate better, to engage with people better, to grow a dream, to set and reach goals, to read more, to love more, to invite in this never-ending stream of lessons and learning and more expansive perceptions of life, of your life, this will gain you more than anything else you can do; so make it part of your new philosophy, to learn more, and use these invaluable ideas, perspectives, lessons, self innate truths to do more, achieve more, help more people, help more living creatures on planet earth and the natural byproduct will be a more expanded sense of meaning and purpose and enjoyment in the slow and wondrous passage of time as you live the good life.

 #5: Never give up, never stop dreaming, never give up on your dreams, never put those dreams on hold for too long, never give in, and keep persistence as your life’s disciple, as your key to the city of lights; your rabbit’s foot, your wishbone (or lucky charm) to achieve more.  Make this your secret to high achievement, your best arrow in your quiver of your inner tools that will get you more life, more results, more enjoyment, for you have developed the philosophy to never give up, of tacking in the wind, of realizing, where the dawn comes right after the darkest hours, where adversity is part of the pathway to massive success. Keep on keeping on, never lose faith or sight of what you want to have happen, and it surely will happen.  The impossible is really the possible disguised when the mind is clear, and focused coupled with persistence and determination to make a thing that is meaningful to you as it really shows up in the real, actual, concrete and in your physical world.  Do this and you cannot fail.  Do this and you will always put the word “temporary” in front of the word “failure,” as Andrew Carnegie once said.

 #6: Also believe and realize, there are no problems only solutions, as John Lennon once wrote. You have all the solutions, most are within, most can be realized by you, solved by you and discovered by you.  So no matter what the challenge, you can find answers that will free up all your energies for the next set of challenges: “You cannot stop the waves but you can learn to surf.”

 #7: Know you are part of it all, all things are one, all things are connected.  Seek to experience life (your life) more fully, more profoundly for this truth unifies, gives you cosmic inspiration, defines why you really are alive.  Seek to understand this.  Let the wisdom of this appear, and you will be forever changed in your passing through time as you have (and gather more of) the true wisdom of your humanity.  You are continually learning how to gather more wisdom and use that wisdom to help others as you live the extraordinary and remarkable life.
