If you want to prosper, what should you aim for each day?

Aim for Harmony Our third aim should be to move in harmony with life. Harmony requires a code of ethics and morals that act as beacons telling us how to behave. It is easy to get caught up in life's dramas, problems, and stresses and believe them to be the final reality. All that happens in your life is simply an opportunity to discover and correct your karma. When you understand how to work your karma, you will find ways to bring rhythm and melody together in every situation to create harmony. The irony of life is that for all our outward striving and drama, in the end, the total always adds up to zero. We take none of the dramas, problems, and stressors when we depart this world. We take the karma of our experiences. How we use these experiences defines our next reincarnation. If life hands you a complex problem and you face it with compassion and understanding, you create harmony, not discord. It is not the problem you take with you when you depart this world but the virtue of compassion you develop that will assist you in this life and all the other lives to come. Let's create some harmony today. END: The material universe consists of five everlasting and imperishable substances: space, motion, rest, matter, and soul. What's important is how matter (you) relates to other matter (the world) within its space. All of life is equal but different, which makes life so interesting. Harmonize with life, remove the obstacles that block success, and you will prosper. EGO: Flip your palm up and extend out the index finger – the symbol of the ego. The ego is what keeps us separated from each other, and this separation sometimes causes disharmony. Pull your finger in and place your thumb on top – the symbol of the soul. Take a deep breath and harmonize with your soul. By cultivating harmony, we develop compassion and understanding in all our relationships on Earth. We move from being separate and bound by the ego to merging past the barriers that keep us apart and at odds. When we develop impartiality towards all things of the world, we become one force of energy that endures under all circumstances. However, impartiality does not mean to be indifferent. It means to be undisturbed by the ebb and flow of life. Flowing with life is how we create harmony. Namaste~ may you walk the path of life with health, happiness, and peace.

Pleasure Aim for This, and You Will Prosper

As human beings, we are wired for pleasure. We are programmed to strive for survival and longevity, an essential part of which is a drive towards pleasure. What would the world be like if we could not enjoy the pleasures of life? Your primitive brain, also known as the limbic system, is located in the temporal lobe at the base of your skull. The limbic system comprises multiple parts, including the amygdala, responsible for the primary sensations of pleasure and pain. So, we can see that on a purely biochemical basis, humans are wired to avoid pain and seek pleasure. The problem arises when our chemistry gets out of balance due to illness, poor health, or addiction, and we fall into the rapid urge to seek a false sense of pleasure to avoid pain. The pleasure eventually fades, and we find ourselves back into a state of pain, craving pleasure, and then the cycle repeats itself. That’s why we practice karma yoga – pleasure is best experienced from a balanced and disciplined state of mind. Let’s get started. END: Human beings are wired for pleasure. We are programmed to strive for survival and longevity, and the drive toward pleasure and pure joy is an essential part of this. What would the world be like if we could not enjoy the pleasures of life? Pleasure is an essential part of our lives. It motivates us to find joy. Aim to bring pleasure into your life every day. Remember to keep it balanced, know the difference between pure pleasure and the avoidance of pain, and then choose wisely. EGO: The ego is our survival consciousness. It constantly moves us from harm and pain to safety and pleasure. But sometimes, it forgets to tap into the soul, where it can discriminate between what is right and what is wrong, what is pure pleasure, and what is the avoidance of pain. Pull your index finger in and place your thumb on top, the symbol of the soul. Take a deep breath and surrender to the soul—pleasure at the deepest level of our being installs pure joy. Aim daily to bring balanced, disciplined pleasure into your life, and you will prosper. Namaste ~ may you walk the path of life with health, happiness, and peace.

What is #WEALTH, and how can you acquire it? Lakshmi presents us with four main directions, aims, or goals. Understand and follow these, and you will prosper.

The first direction or aim in life is the accumulation of wealth. Don’t confuse wealth for money. Money in and of itself is valueless. Only what we can purchase in exchange for money gives it value. Wealth is abundant potential energy. Wealth is not just about the accumulation of money or material goods, although both have the power to make the world a better place. Wealth comes in many forms, such as good health, love, happiness, and rewarding work. Many people get lost in the illusion of material wealth and confuse the earthly symbols of wealth for success. Success is measured by the degree of your happiness and not the size of your bank account. In this world, no one would argue that it is better to be rich than poor. Wealthy people have greater access to the necessities and the luxuries of life. Wealth affords more options and choices. But just remember this - it is not wealth that destroys. It is greed. Problems arise when wealth is used to control others and abuse society. In a world such as ours, with so much wealth, no person should ever go without or be abused. So, if you want to prosper, find a way to make the world a better place, and you will become a wealthy person. END: Remember the difference between wealth and material possessions. Wealth can mean having beauty, love, and good health, and these can never be replaced with gold, money, or other material possessions. Your true wealth comes from within. It is the source of your abundant energy, and this energy has the power to create. Draw from it, create, and you will prosper. Once found, this cosmic energy can never be depleted. Just remember that energy is never lost it simply changes form. As long as the universe exists, there will be infinite opportunities to tap into this abundant energy and, with it, create wealth. Money may come and go or slip past your outstretched hand, but if you use your abundant energy wisely, you will always create wealth, and with this, you prosper. EGO: flip your palm up and extend out the index finger – the symbol of the ego. The ego often associates success with the accumulation of material things. But the ego's real task is to balance our uncontrollable desires and what is socially and technically acceptable. That’s where the soul comes into play. Pull your finger in and place your thumb on top – the symbol of the soul. Take a breath and surrender to the soul. The soul is our consciousness. It is our ability to see the world for what it is – ever-changing. Material wealth comes and goes, but when we truly understand the meaning of a wealthy life, we prosper. Namaste~ may you walk the path of life with health, happiness, and peace. Doctor Lynn For classes, books, and more http://www.doctorlynn.com
