Think of yourself first

Some people will be frightened by this request. Why, in fact? Is it something bad or are we just being told that it is something bad?

It is not about living out one's concerns without regard for others.

It's about being self-aware.

Why does it make sense?

All life is one big entity and nothing stands alone. You are a part of the world in which you live and this world is a part of the universe. The universe is subject to its laws and you cannot change them. You can change only that in you, which does not agree with the laws of the universe and with it you reach harmony.

In the universe is the boundless creative power that creates life and makes it come true. And this power is in you when you are in harmony with the universe.

When you are one with everything, nothing is against you.

Live your life in the here and now and exactly as it suits the circumstances of the moment. When you are awake, you are awake and when you are asleep, you are asleep. When you are doing something, be with what you are doing. With all your senses, where your hands are, your attention should be.

Do not cling to what was yesterday and do not be afraid of what is tomorrow. There is only the present moment.

You don't miss anything if you don't digress, but you waste the moment if you are not in it.

What was important yesterday is not necessarily important today. You can always reevaluate and make new decisions. Decisions that are more beneficial to you.

If you don't know what is important to you and what you want, others will tell you and I doubt if this is always to your advantage.

If you have a plan that you live by, allow creativity and spontaneity to change your plan if it is to your advantage.

Your faith sets your limits and can make the impossible possible.

In harmony with the universe, live each of your days as if it were your last, then you will not be surprised when it eventually is.

Because fear does not prevent death, fear prevents life.

You are the center of your life and determine what is right for you. Your wishes, your needs and your standards apply.

You take full responsibility for your being.

You are as you are. Nothing about you is bad, everything has its causes and its meaning.

Let go of what burdens you and makes you sick and allow what makes you free and happy.

And of course we grant everyone else exactly the same rights as we do ourselves.

Since we cannot assume that others have the same needs as we do, it is naturally necessary to make compromises in living together.

If we are conscious, we know when to give up our own needs in favor of the needs of the community. And since we belong to the community
they are our needs.

Valuable relationships are created when everyone invests equally, rather than individuals only giving and others only taking.

I have adopted a very simple rule: For me, every person is first of all okay, that is until he proves me wrong. Then he is welcome to leave my life. But everyone has the chance. I don't care what others say about him, because I don't know what conflicts are being acted out there. Because they are not my conflicts.

Just think about it if you like.

You have the power over your life, don't let it be taken away from you.
