Step out of the race and into your own life

Awareness cannot come where a mad race is being run after
a seemingly elusive goal. Dare to slow down your life and
step out of the rush to do more and more, possess more
and more.
No matter how fast your thoughts and
desires run, they finally take you
nowhere. To find the timeless, dare to
step out of the daily grind of chasing
time. Live as though you have all the
time in the world at your command
and can truly decide how to use it.

* Accept responsibility of your life-experience
Whatever you experience in your life, that is, whatever
happens in your life, and the way you feel and react towards
it, is a direct expression of who you are. At the deepest level,
everything occurring in your life-experience is the result of
your own desires, choices, actions and reactions.
Therefore, accept full responsibility and, thereby, the control
of your own life—control both of what your life is now, and
what you want it to be.

* Release all resentments and blame
If you truly accept responsibility for your life, and believe in a
higher order in which things function, you spontaneously
Awareness is the
practice of staying
awake moment to
moment; to be fully
present and available
to the moment
release all blame and resentments. It is important for you to
see that holding on to some hurt or hatred over what others
may have done in the past makes you their slave in the present
moment, in the here and now.

* Refuse to have a short-term vision
Simply drop any desire, thought or action that promises shortterm,
temporary or instant gratification but results in a more
permanent conflict or disharmony.
Simply choose to be whole. Begin by consciously refusing to
compromise yourself.

This book is a priceless treasure for those in search of awareness.
