Integrity

Live with integrity. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Life's too short to fuck around. Be certain of what you feel, don't just accept it at face value and react. Dig deeper. Live without regret. If you make a bad decision, do it consciously. It is YOUR life and only you can make those mistakes, so own up to it, or just stop making them in the first place. Be fully present and in the moment at all times. Breathe in every experience with all the senses. Be a tactile creature. Make eye contact and hug and 'love on' people more. Acknowledge the presence of the gods in everyone you come in contact with and in everything you do. Don't put yourself into the position of looking back on your deathbed and wondering where your life went. Know exactly who you are and where you're going...even if you think you have no idea...you do...in your soul. Just listen. Don't limit yourself to who you *think* you *should* be or who you think everyone else wants you to be. Don't put yourself in neat lil clearly-labeled boxes. It's cliche', but think outside that box. Push yourself beyond all your expectations... and then delete that list altogether. Stop bullshitting yourself, stop telling yourself all kinds of safe lies to make yourself feel better. Face the truth, the reality and the pure light of it all...with curiousity, not resistance. Walk straight up to your fear and tell it to fuck off. And then embrace it and thank it for teaching you yet another lesson. Love those who you dislike and love those you do like even more. When faced with unhealthy people or habits, clear your head out and think with your entire being. Not just your head, or your heart, but with your entire soul, and evaluate just what they mean to you. Then, step away and, once again, thank them for the heart lesson. Don't take anything for granted. Know that while time may be limitless in the grand scheme, you are only aware of one life at a time, so make it a damn good one. Tell the people you love, that you love them ALOT. Tell them how much you appreciate them in your life. Confront the 'enemy' and let them know that you are compassionate toward their innate suffering and that you want them to find peace. And then YOU go and find some damn peace. Spread that peace like wildfire. Expell the demons and ignite the fires of love amongst your fellow humans. When thrust into someone's angry world, soak it up like a sponge, change that energy into love and then send it right back out. When driven to hate, laugh...loudly. Life is what you make it, you are what you eat, don't eat the yellow snow. May the force be with you.
