Commit to Honing This Skill
Focus is the key to meaningful work and self-realization—having the strength and discipline to tune everything else out and concentrate on the task at hand. Without focus, you can’t really do much. If your mind is jumping all over the place every minute, you won’t be able to get anything done.
Give Your Body The Fluids It Needs
Help your body perform its functions properly. Drink a glass of water before going to bed, then fill it up again and place it on your nightstand. That way, when you wake up, water will be ready to enter your body. Refill it and keep it next to you during the day, remembering to keep drinking. Make it a habit.
Be Specific When You Express Gratitude
Instead of saying ‘thank God,’ express your gratitude to that person who cooked your food. Thank the pilot who securely brought you back home on your flight. Thank yourself for making the right lifestyle choices to keep a healthy body. Thank the people who take care of the park trails you enjoy so much. Thank your spouse for working hard every day to provide the household with a comfortable life. Thank your loved ones for the unconditional support that gets you by through the most difficult moments.
You Can Be A Guiding Star
To love everyone around you as you love yourself, or at least make the conscious choice to try every day. To not judge other people’s paths and never try to force your perspective on life onto them. To stop prioritizing material status and possessions over anything else. To strive to build bridges of understanding, compassion, and togetherness in a world often divided by differences. To focus on the universal values of love, empathy, and acceptance.
Like Nothing Else I’ve Done
And so, as the year comes to an end, I want to thank you! Thank you for following me on this journey of self-realization. Thank you for participating in polls and taking the time to leave your comments. Thank you for letting me know you enjoy what I write. Thank you for feeling attracted to these teachings. Thank you for being willing to expand your perspective on life alongside me. Thank you for being part of the Daily Yogi community.
Working Hard Is Not The Secret
Take the time to reflect on what truly makes you feel excited and distinctive. Success is about aligning your actions with your desires and embracing your own set of experiences, knowledge, and skills. Strive not just for financial stability but for a fulfilling and meaningful life.
Even The Most Advanced Souls Are Human
Embrace the idea of Jesus as a relatable figure, a human being who faced the challenges of existence just like us. Rather than distancing him from humankind, let's see him as someone we can aspire to be like and focus on the timeless message he came to remind us: kindness, hope, compassion, understanding, tolerance and love.
