on being 'retired'

twelve steps to personal growth

From our Silver Sangha friend:

  1. This is your life right here, right now. There is nowhere else to go.


  2. Our exposure to life brings neither good luck, nor bad luck, just the presentation of experience.


  3. What we make of ourselves in life depends largely on how we respond and work with that experience.


  4. If we do not deal appropriately with what is presented to us, then it will return to seek further attention.


  5. When we deal, in an appropriate way, with what is presented to us then we can move forward.


  6. Experience will always be there for us to use as a learning tool.


  7. The presentation of experience is endless because it is life itself.


  8. All the answers that we seek are buried within us.


  9. Create space in your life for solitude and stillness, then just listen quietly and trust in the inner process.


  10. We are all unique - work out your own path.


  11. Do not allow fear to influence the work you have to undertake - fear is only a projection, not a reality.


  12. There is no end to personal growth and what you can achieve in life - sincerely believe in this...

START NOW.
