How do you maintain/restore your balance and harmony? How do you serve/sustain your spirit, energy, vitality? These are the five indicators of a life well-lived. Without them in place, you are faking it, grinding it out, looking for escape and refuge, hoping for deliverance, wishing you were dead, or that somebody else was. The times are always desperate and the money is never enough (Billionaires are always acting as though they are just scraping by. They worry about their money more than poor people do. It's Crazy-Stupid to the core). Take a personal inventory at least daily, doing a check list of the five markers: ___Balance ___Harmony ___Spirit ___Energy ___Vitality And find what you need to do to Serve Sustain Restore Maintain all five. And do it. At least daily.

All it takes is being right about what needs to be done and doing it-- in each situation as it arises, situation by situation, day by day, year by year. Nothing to it. The easiest way to be right about what needs to be done is to be wrong about it with your eyes open. Time will tell if it is right or wrong. If it is right, great. If it is wrong, great-- that means you stop doing it and start doing what needs to be done now. That means doing what you think is right and needs to be done. Time will tell. If you are right this time, great. If you are wrong again, great-- that means you stop doing it, and start doing what needs to be done now... It's like this all the way to being right at last! Only it isn't at last. Then, you have to be right about what needs to be done in the next situation as it arises, and repeat the process until you are right again at last. Only it isn't really last. Get it? Do it!
