Meditation is a good starting point, or even a little bit of contemplative reflection, asking questions like: Who am I without my name or form? What is my purpose if there is one? What do I want out of my life? What am I grateful for? Just a little bit of reflection like that starts you on the journey.

Don't shut down the feedback loop with judgment, rigid beliefs, and prejudices.

No matter what the situation is...close your eyes and think of all the things you could be grateful for in your life right now.

The Ego, however, is not who you really are. The ego is your self-image; it is your social mask; it is the role you are playing. Your social mask thrives on approval. It wants control, and it is sustained by power, because it lives in fear.

Focus on nurturing your healthy relationships so that they are even more loving and fulfilling.

If love is universal, no one can be left out.

I go scuba diving. I ski. Watch movies. I take a week of silence every three months in the wilderness. And, besides, I have fun all the time anyway.
