Spend an afternoon every 4 - 6 weeks in an art museum. Listen to Andreas Vollenweider music. Keep this list and refer to it from time to time. Add your own sage advice to it when you think of it. Love and Friendship are among the most powerful forces in the Universe.
Perception is everything.
Because this reality is so ephemeral, it behooves us to love, encourage, and give to people as often as possible. It is easier to tear down goodwill between people, than it is to create it. The forces for Good, in this Universe, will eventually triumph over the forces of evil. To be true to oneself in Life, you have to talk your walk and walk your talk. We are creatures with souls, who are beautiful beings of Light.
