The whole of life
Everything has an influence on everything else. All the
seemingly separate aspects of life are tightly
intertwined.
When setting priorities and making choices, consider the
whole of life. Attempting to play off one thing against
another will never work for very long.
When you shortchange one part of your life, other things
suffer. When you work to add value somewhere in your world,
that value is reflected in other places too.
Eventually, the good, sincere, authentic things you do will
exhibit their influence throughout your world. There's a way
to live through each experience that will enhance and
improve all the other experiences.
Think of your decisions not as discreet events, but rather
as interrelated expressions of who you truly are. Realize
that each action has an influence that spreads far beyond
its original context.
Live as though the universe is connected to itself in ways
that you cannot begin to imagine. Know that what you do is
not just for here and now, that it contributes everywhere
and always to the whole of life.
