Know yourselves: I am nothing, yet I am everything; one with the infinite Universe, beyond the limitations of body, mind, emotions and worldly identity. In surrendering the ego, I discover my boundless connection to all that exists. I love myself and seek everything within; not in external circumstances, relationships, possessions or environments. I transcend the "I" while thriving the "i". While alcohol, drugs, sex, thrill and extreme sports like skydiving may cause the 'I' to disappear, allowing one to forget the body and mind; lasting growth comes through love, selflessness, creativity, meaningful work, mindfulness, nature, meditation, charity, innovation, physical activities like art, dance, music, etc. I am not the body nor mind, but I live within and nurture them as sacred spaces. I am mortal; my body and mind have limited time. I use it wisely. I consciously align my body, mind and emotions to create meaningful and beautiful experiences, maintaining my life energies healthy while navigating the world with life mantras.
When I pay attention to my body, it communicates through sensations and energies, guiding me toward what is best for me and mirroring my mental and emotional states through bodily postures and gestures. Likewise, when I observe my mind, I become aware of the thoughts and patterns that influence my emotions and drive my actions. I balance the five elements within by giving my body the right food and movement, my mind enriching thoughts, my emotions meaningful feelings and my spirit deep experiences. I nourish my eyes with the Sun’s light, my nose with the Earth’s scent, my mouth with Water’s taste, my ears with the Sky’s sound, and my skin with Air’s touch. In this harmony, my physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual energies flourish, guiding me toward wholeness and well-being. I perceive life in a way that nurtures my life energies, finding inspiration and learning from people, places, circumstances, relationships, nature and every experience life offers. I am driven by goodness, cultivating it through the way I see, listen, speak and write. I am fluid, constantly evolving with changing circumstances, environments and experiences. I am total, whole and complete. I share joy; not sadness. I am the source of my own joy, not dependent on others or external circumstances for my happiness. I build my identity independent of societal pressure, rooted in self-awareness.
I am lively, enthusiastic and inspiring. I live freely by recognizing that righteousness lies within, transcending societal rules, though ingrained beliefs, conditioning and external systems may limit true freedom. I embrace my uniqueness and being different, without guilt or shame. My character earns and commands respect; does not demand. I am clear and confident. I am the answer, not the question. I am beyond and above – credit and blame, good and bad, right and wrong. I immerse, but do not get entangled. I am decisive. I ask questions to understand, seek clarity through confirmations and do not assume. I am humorous, creative, joyful, happy & adorable. I am presentable at all times. I am strong, bold and courageous. I am powerful, focused and disciplined. I am curious, passionate and visionary. I empathize, respect and am grateful to all. I express, not repress, with wisdom and grace. Unexpressed emotions never die and may erupt at any time. What you resist, persists, growing stronger the more you deny it. Have the courage to show up and let yourselves be seen as you are – facing your fears and vulnerabilities head on; be in your free flow. I am emotionally intelligent and do not get entangled or carried away. I don’t take personally. I do not judge. I neither point fingers nor seek sympathy or solace. I refuse to let anyone make me feel low. I compare and compete with myself; not others. I avoid gossip and trivialities, focusing on what truly matters. I say no to choose where to engage, protecting my essence; not to reject. I assess before trusting, and once trusted, there is no doubt. I go up, I go down, I go over, I go under, I go round, I go around but I never give up. I am productive, efficient and effective. I am objective and not subjective. I contribute for the greater good, understanding that I may not gain personally and might be left out. I do my best and am always giving, enjoying the journey as outcomes and conclusions may not bring true fulfillment. I take ownership, do not deflect and get things done. I do not escape and thrive to fulfill my duties. I act and do not procrastinate. I move with due diligence; do not shoot first and learn later. I operate with resolve and conviction; do not get influenced by status, authority or seniority. I reflect, speak and respond honestly and directly, without insults, undermining or undue influence as true respect values both truth and age across all stages of life. I replace habits and patterns that no longer serve me with positive change. I do what works and not what I like or dislike. I don’t settle, uncover myths, avoid compromise and embrace balance. I am here and now; fully present, engaged, and connected with myself, everyone, everything and the infinite flow of existence; free from the pull of past and future. In the present, there is no problem, no challenge; only reality as it is and truth as we clearly perceive it. What I do now shapes my future; with consistency and persistence, I shall achieve my goals. My conscious awareness brings choice, and choice brings results. I value and respect time, setting specific time limits for each activity. I step back of conscience. I am replaceable, and my replacement may have the potential to do better then me. I own my mistakes, make amends, and commit to self accountability if they recur. I am radically open minded and adaptive. I adapt my beliefs, values, and perspectives i.e. my life mantras to foster growth, shape who I am, and guide how I engage with the world, welcoming new opportunities as they come. I change, evolve, innovate and transform. I let go. I am punctual, show up on time and respect others' time. I do not retaliate, nor do I engage in eye for an eye.
