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.
