for safety, health, love, success & joy
for safety: we should never insult nor fight evil with evil or we'd risk our lives
for nature for us: please, even if initially awkward, defecate and urinate upon appropriate earth (not only into sewage), near good plant roots as has been a natural cycle; we should also refrain from littering and somehow help solve this issue
for health: we should only eat & drink utterly natural foods & beverages for optimal health (for such as the above); eating foods raw and as directly from nature is generally good (e.g. both the green leafy tops and the red fruit of strawberries)
for love: genuinely, authentically and even creatively using "The Five Love Languages" by Gary Chapman on a daily basis with those we care about helps to keep love going
1. acts of service
example: changing another's tire
2. words of affirmation
ex.: "I love what you did with your hair!"
3. gift giving
"I thank you for the sweater you gave me for Christmas, brother."
4. quality time
"Thank you for watching a film with me. It was very nice."
5. welcome intimacy
"I really needed that hug. Thank you."
Lest we become bogged down in trivialities, we should first address critically important issues and opportunities.
"Creating agreements works wonders. Up-vibe your personal and professional relationships by learning to create agreements instead of expecting others to do things (and then being disappointed [if] they don’t)."
The 14th Dalai Lama, Gyalwa Rinpoche, quoted in "I Am", a movie:
Question for the Dalai Lama: “What’s the most important [thing] we can do now?”
* Answer: “Critical thinking, followed by action. Discern what your world is. [...] And then figure out where your talents might fit in to make a better world.”
For some lagniappe ("a little something extra" of Creole expressions), the 14th Dalai Lama also said, "Once a year, go somewhere you've never been before."
"What gets measured gets managed." - Peter Drucker
When I began to track my business efforts, I earned a profit and knew how.
Pomodoro Technique: 25 minutes of work and 5 minutes of break time has been effective (and a longer break (15-30 minutes) after a few of these "Pomodoros")
We should invest some time outdoors in nature & into enriching enjoyments such as music, dance, sports & art.
Additionally, please "reduce, reuse and recycle" to avoid waste in your daily life.
this is part of how you can help with our environmental and waste challenges:
"We're the Planeteers
and you can be one too
'cuz saving our planet is the thing to do!"
