1. Consider yourself a student of life- consider that what you already know is like a drop in the ocean compared to what there is yet to learn. When we believe we already know all there is to know about any thing, learning stops and decay begins.
2. Spend time in wonder- Rediscover the beauty of flowers, sunsets, music, art, children, literature. Have you looked up into the night sky, pondered the stars and considered how small you are, yet you're the center of everything?
3. Let yourself be moved- Allow life to transport and expand you. Let it open you, touch you, move you to tears.
4. Extend love- Love is who we ARE. It's what we came to give and receive. The more we give, the more we have to give.
5. Focus on contribution- Find a cause and serve it. Find a need and fill it. Find a community organization, a church, join a support group, volunteer at a hospital, help clean up the environment.
6. Learn your unique song and sing it- Here's a miracle: There is no other you and there never will be. Yours is a song that only you can sing.
7. Expect miracles- Life is a continuous mystery unfolding. You have never been who you are this very moment. Expect miracles and you'll find them, sometimes in the most unlikely places. Remember, the Chinese symbol for "crisis" = danger plus opportunity. Look for the opportunity inside crisis and you might just find a miracle.
