Holistic Wealth is something to cultivate in many areas of your life, from enriching your sense of purpose, to nourishing yourself spiritually and physically, to creating good relationships, and giving back. Developing in these areas helps us to better rebound from setbacks.

Keep your eyes and ears wide open - and your mouth closed, if you wish to acquire the habit of prompt decision. Those who talk too much do little else. If you talk more than you listen, you not only deprive yourself of many opportunities to accumulate useful knowledge, but you also disclose your plans and purposes to people who will take great delight in defeating you, because they envy you.

Sometimes the heart can be stubborn and can bring desperate feelings that can cause devastating consequences from your choices by ignoring your mind. Applying the knowledge from past experiences before making decisions can save you from distress. Always make sure there is no conflict with your wisdom and your heart's desires before deciding on the matter.

Death is liberating only if one has planned for it.

Watching indelible ink (what they use to denote you voted during elections in India) fade/peel off from your finger, albeit slowly, is fascinating. It is a gentle reminder that everything is, after all, impermanent. Nothing lasts forever!

Many of us want to have relationships because we want a nest, a cozy place of acceptance; that unconditional circumstance. Relationships have become the using of another person as soft stuff to build nests with. Many can do this without even liking the other person, or feeling connected to them, or even wanting to actually be near them. I think the animals are better; an animal would never live with someone they don't like, because they don't have to. They have no religion, no laws, no society. And yet, we see swans and wolves and others: mating for life! For no other reason than that they've found their one-and-only.

Love is everything in a relationship and needs to be nurtured, creating unforgettable memories.

Dealing with the death of loved one is always difficult. No matter how much we know of death, of the process of Life, no amount of preparation to accept death is sufficient. When death comes calling in our circle, we are always caught struggling to cope. Immersing yourself in celebrating the Life of the one you lose is one better way of coping. In celebration, there is an uplifting energy. It helps you to look back at each moment you can recall with the person you lost and relive them. Or support causes they supported. Through these acts you heal yourself, you train your mind to let go and move on. It is a slow process, but it works. Important, don't try to fight your sadness. It is futile. Sadness is a natural response. Feeling sad is integral to the process of dealing with a loss. Instead understand your sadness, go its root, understand its futility...and then pluck it and discard it...

It is very easy to create problems , rather than creating solutions, because you don't have to think, and you don't have to be a genius or smart either. So, don't tell yourself that you are clever, when you are creating problems for others.

I'm not going to sit here and tell you I was totally innocent of all wrong doings. I most certainly was not. I was a total asshole during this time. I was absolutely losing my fucking mind. I swam in a sea of anger whose waters were far wider than I could have ever imagined, and I sank to depths I didn't know I was capable of reaching. I said the most terrible things. I hated her, and I hated myself even more for hating the one I loved. My whole life became just pissing in the wind. Everything I did backfired on me. My life was at a giant standstill, and I was standing in purgatory. Fuck, even lying in a bush during a rainstorm didn't feel strange. The crazy part was that it was more comfortable than facing the guy in the mirror at home. I came to hate my ex, but I hated myself the most. I was disgusted at who I had become. Who was this fucking broken down drunk

A good approach to life is to only sweat the big stuff, and when the big stuff comes along don't bother sweating it.

Life intrinsically has no meaning. You came with nothing. You will go with nothing. But you have the opportunity to make your Life meaningful. You can do this in small doses by doing multiple things that you love doing. Or you can do this expansively by being engaged with a larger-than-you cause, your Purpose. Here 'meaningful' really means making each moment count, by living it fully, by celebrating it! Simply, as long as you do what makes you come alive, even if you don't define it or connect it with a sense of Purpose, you are living meaningfully!

Marketeers have become so savvy at creating emotional associations with their products that they have us believing electric vehicles are "green," though in some ways they pollute differently than gas vehicles and in other ways the same. Electric vehicles are no more "green" than low-tar cigarettes are "healthy," but whether driving the one or smoking the other we've been given a reason to puff our chests.

Remember, your future life is dependent on the things you do today. You can't live the life of your dreams in the future if you spend your life doing average things. If your dream is to be fit within the next one year, you'll not get there if you keep eating junk foods & avoiding the gym.

I sat in silence in my room concentrating on turning off the deejay, slowly breathing in and out, but the silence only seemed to make the voice in my head grow louder.

Forgetting the person who you Love is much Better than hating them.

When we fail to balance our decisions with emotion and reason, we prohibit our brains from calculating the good or harm of our choices. Robert in Flower Girl A Novel

"There are two kinds of wealth we must focus on creating.

At the current state of human evolution, we judge others based on their appearance. Until we learn to love all beings deep down, we will continue hating certain beings. There is only love in oneness.

When you see others, see their light. See their energizing, animating energy. You can do this. See what it is that makes this person different than if you were looking at their lifeless corps. See your inner light in them.

In LIFE, many of us are trying to discover who we are and what life really means to us. The truth is "Life isn't about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself.

Pausing, reflecting and celebrating, in gratitude for what you have, is what prayer is all about!

What does a walk across the world teach about navigating our troubled century? TREAD LIGHTLY upon the Earth. SHARE what you can. But most of all, REMEMBER.

when a truthful person tells you their story, it is the only story they have to tell-if you were to challenge their version of events, they will not change the story. They may provide additional information, true, but said information will not conflict with their core story. If you continue to push that person, insinuating they are not telling the truth, they will become angry. Because a truthful person has no place else to go. Their story is the only one they have to tell.
