what's for breakfast, what's for life


YOU create your life every day.

YOU decide whether or not you're going to get up when the alarm goes off, what to wear, what to eat for breakfast, and how to get to work.

And as YOU run into people throughout the day, YOU decide how to respond to them, how to treat them, and who to avoid.

YOUR intentions for the day affect what YOU do, what YOU experience, and how YOU experience it.

In the same way, on a bigger scale, the whole trajectory of YOUR life is created by YOUR choices.

who's bad?


We spend all of our lives convincing ourselves that we are bad, and that the things we want are bad. Sex is bad, money is bad, joy is bad, power is bad, and having too much of anything is bad.

Having made this judgement about ourselves, we then proceed to spend our whole life trying to be good.

you've arrived

The point of life is not to get anywhere.

The point of life is to notice that you are there.

no guarantees given


If you want guarantees in life, then you don't want 'life'; you want rehearsals for a script that's already been written.

Life by its very nature cannot have guarantees, or its whole purpose is thwarted.

the two tigers in YOUR tank


FEAR and LOVE sit inside each of, like two tigers.

FEAR = the energy which contracts, closes down, draws in, runs, hides, hoards and harms.

LOVE = the energy which expands, opens up, send out, stays, reveals, shares, heals.

YOUR challenge is to feed the right tiger.
