Dear You,
I hope you are waking up or having dinner or going to bed, depending on your time Zone, with great enthusiasm. Angels tell us that anything worth doing is worth doing with Great Enthusiasm. Otherwise, why bother? We are here to be fully alive! Not half-awake or half-asleep: bored, unhappy, frustrated, wishing we were somewhere else than where we are. Speaking of, this is a good exercise to practice: the WHERE AM I? exercise. Ask yourself that question now and again (remember your lesson, Questions?) - "WHERE AM I?" Then find out! Your body may be driving your car, but you pass by your exit or your turn or go through a red light, because your mind is not where your body is.
Which leads us to another exercise: Remind yourself throughout your day: BE WHERE YOUR BODY IS! Your body needs you! There! Completely! Your body needs your full and undivided attention. Otherwise it gets into trouble.
I really started this post to share the link below with you. It is about writing, and so much more! Read it if you get the chance. Teachers are everywhere, and goodness knows, we all need teachers and Teachers to keep us on the path and help awaken us to our Inner Teacher. Even if you never write (though I encourage you to write) this article contains valuable information, for being one-pointed, for being disciplined, for not letting yourself be controlled by the world - or your own mind - for following the dreams that are meant to become your realities!
With Great Enthusiasm!
your fellow classmate and teacher
p.s. -- might I add that the article below is written "tongue-in-cheek" -- with a sense of humor because, of course, the author is not this disciplined. No human being is. She does all the things she says she doesn't, at least some of the time -- and still manages to be a published writer. So the best message is: Don't be hard on yourself. Strive for your dreams. Be as disciplined and aware as you can be, but don't...don't...don't...be too hard on yourself when you don't live up to your own expectations. Approach life with some humor. And keep climbing the ladder. With GREAT ENTHUSIASM! Higher, higher.

A Stone Tower I found in the Forest. Not the dark forest of Ego, but in the light forest of Mother Nature, which is akin to our True Nature. Go to Nature whenever you can: forests, woods, oceans, fields, meadows, mountains, gardens, rivers, lakes, and ponds, and you will find your True Nature there. Go and be rested. Be healed. Let yourself be filled with Great Enthusiasm for Life. Let yourself Live.
