Inspired by Dr.John Izzo's 5 Secrets

1. Risk more emotionally
(This is the purpose. This is the #1 regret if not lived. Joseph Campbell calls relationship the "Holy Spirit". There was much less to lose than we thought. Since we cannot tell which risks will matter. Always find yourself moving towards what you like/ a clearer expression of you. Truly reach out for what you want.)

2.Receive Love, Trust, Be dependent, Be vulnerable, these too are aspects of you waiting to be expressed, Learn to hear my own heart in the company of others

3. Stay in contact with source, play memory, find a match and feel the magic

4. Participate, play the game, connect, make the matches

5. Be aware and in your body, act with love, fill your heart, day body with love daily
(Caution: "The trouble with life is, it is so daily.")

6. Live in accordance with the things that matter to you most

7. Recognize a happy day. What makes a day feel like your kind of day? How could I incorporate more of me?
(Dancing, walking, connecting with people, helping, movies, philosophy, love)

8. My gift: I cannot heal you. I can let God through. I can be transparent in these moments for your connection to God, but I cannot heal you.

9. Have the discipline and courage to keep distraction at a minimum, and propel your life forward. Save the only life you can, yours. (Mary Oliver: The Journey)

*A note on discipline. You can't rush it. As Ram Dass suggests you can't get ahead of yourself by wanting to be disciplined. It doesn't work. When you want something: peace, keeping your word, harmony, being in touch with god, and you find discipline helps you keep your intention, your word with yourself. Then you arrive at Discipline's door and are ready to pass through. WHen you see it as a helpful way to further your goal, connection, intention, then you are ready.

10. Experiment, overcome "disappointment", and see how you can walk through the other side, overcome whatever limits you. If you feel sad question the stories that you tell yourself that result in this feeling.
