To create lasting change, there must be an irrevocable shift in perspective.

Nothing else in my experience has created and sustained more lasting change in my life.

But how do you arrive at this new state? This new perspective?

It almost like reaching an event horizon, a point of no return. In self development, its an awakening. And after this awakening, its like seeing the world with new eyes. You see things in a way you haven’t seen them before.

I recently went through one of these event horizons in my life and it has changed me and how I view my life forever.

It was acknowledging personal responsibility for everything in my universe.

It started when I was reading Steve Pavlina’s blog about the Law of Attraction. The article focused on how all the energy you put out into the universe comes back at you, manifesting into the life that you are creating. It emphasizes that no one else is responsible for your life and your universe, and that we are the sole creators of our own reality.

Its almost like an energetic boomerang, except that this boomerang is what the universe throws back at us. This boomerang is the result of our thoughts, feelings, energies, and vibrations, the collection of energy we throw out. I’ve read about this Law of Attraction a lot, but for some reason it didn’t sink in no matter what I’ve tried.

Steve’s article really set this (new) principle into motion. When I realized that I was responsible for everything that was occurring in my life, I really want to change. I didn’t want all the scary things that were happening in the world, or the negative things that were happening in my life. I wanted to have all the beauty and nice things that were coming to me. That I knew were just around the corner.

But in all honesty, I wasn’t ready for total responsibility. I wanted to have some time off from all this responsibility stuff. I wasn’t ready to commit yet.

Then, a few days later, something drastic changed.

It came to me as I was walking home. I realized that while I may not want to be responsible for my life, I’m still accountable.

The universe still holds me accountable for all my energy that I throw out to it, and it responds to it whether I put out positive or negative energy.

Realizing that, wow, I’m totally accountable, I’m 100% accountable for everything in my life, was the major shift I needed. Even if I want to escape responsibility, or hide, or deny the fact of this Law of Attraction, the universe still holds me accountable.

That’s what hit home.

I started to take total inventory of my thoughts and feelings, seeing where I was at in my life on many levels. And honestly I didn’t like what I saw.

I started to check into my thoughts and realized that I have so many negative thoughts floating around! Unresolved feelings about my past that were influencing my present.

I like to consider myself a reasonably aware guy, but all these negative thought patterns where still there, lurking in the background.

And then there were problems at work and…

You can see how they start to add up.

I couldn’t continue on this path of unconsciousness anymore.

I had what I would call a spiritual breakdown.

It was like a panic at a psychic level, realizing that I am accountable for everything that is manifesting in my life, and that I couldn’t escape it. All my problems, my job, my relationships, my life, all come from me and how I’m projecting my energy.

Great, I thought. I was kind of slumped for a few days. Its not fun realizing that you’re the sole cause of all your problems in your life. Its not fun, but I’m glad I had that realization.

It was that realization that created the irrevocable shift in my perspective. Now, I can’t go back to thinking I had in the past. I can’t go back to unconsciously having negative thoughts. I can’t go back to blaming anyone other than myself. I had to take total responsibility for everything.

I was at a place where I couldn’t hide or make excuses or run or use any other methods of avoiding my present life. I was almost like I just let it go. I had to drop a whole lot of thinking I had stored up in my subconsciousness because I couldn’t allow it to stay there anymore.

After my initial slump, ironically, having a new perspective became more empowering than I thought it would be. I started to feel more in tune, more aware and more conscious. I felt that all the good in my life happened because I intended it to. I stopped validating the bad that happens, I couldn’t excuse any of the bad thoughts or energies that I send out, because what could I possibly gain from them? They only affected me, and I didn’t want that anymore.

You are accountable for your energies on a universal level. It does not discriminate. It only responds. Once you realize this, you are one step closer to attaining personal freedom.

Its shifts like these that lead to lasting change, because from your new place, you cannot possibly go back to thinking the way you did before.

Once you have these major changes, you can feel confident in yourself that you’re heading in the right direction, because you know you can’t go back.

What is more empowering than knowing you’re on the right track?

I’ve been vegetarian for about a month now. So far its been one of the best decisions I’ve made this year, although its kind of funny how it all happened…

We were driving up to a convention in Las Vegas with my coworkers, and I was chatting with our bosses. (They were along for the ride as well.)

He had mentioned that he has been vegetarian for about 10 years now.

I thought wow, a real live vegetarian, and he looks abundantly healthy! I had in my mind that vegetarians are all emaciated and look sickly, but no no, my boss was completely healthy.

I asked him about the transition he made from eating things with faces to a veggie diet, and over the course of time, the meat cravings became less and less, until after a while you don’t even crave meat at all…

Now, I had been on the fence with vegetarianism, for about 2 years. I had always thought it was something that I would love to do someday, but never really committed to when I would go for it.

I had been eating primarily soy products for a year (ironically because I had switched to an almost total organic diet, and they didn’t have organic meat at the store I shopped at). Gradually, I decreased the amount of animal products that I ate because of the organic thing as well.

So for about a year I had been eating lots of soy products, organic foods, and yogurts, with the occasional face food. But I didn’t feel like I wanted to give up my meat, just yet.

After speaking with my boss about it, I became inspired to take the final plunge and go head into vegetarianism…for a month.

In all honesty, I’m not one for big commitments right away! I wanted to give it a try and make sure that this was something I really wanted to do. I figured a month would be sufficient time to give it a try and see if I really did like it.

During my month, I did some research, so I could remain healthy and happy during my experiment. To my amazement, I found out a lot I didn’t know!

As it turns out, vegetarians eat a lot more than just salads. They eat beans, protein, carbs, fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, grains, you name it. And with a little bit of supplementing for the B vitamins, I felt confident that I would be just fine.

After about a week, I had lost the cravings for meat, and fish. Fish was the big worry for me because I love sushi. Beef wasn’t such an ordeal, I rarely eat that. All the poultry too, surprisingly, was a breeze to cook without.

About 3 weeks into it and I begin to develop an aversion to meat. To my absolute shock. It just didn’t look all that tasty after all. And the smell, blah not something I wanted to consume.

After about 6 weeks total of total vegetarianism, I couldn’t be happier with the experiment. I feel great, my body feels cleaner, I feel more energized, I’ve learned to cook a bit too, and I have no cravings for meat. Amazing!

I must say I’m very satisfied with the results, and I’m glad to keep on the vegetarian diet. I feel more comfortable knowing I’m actively contributing to my healthy lifestyle. So I’m going to stick with it. And eventually I’ll go vegan. But that’s down the road.

If you’ve thought about going vegetarian, try it for a month. You might be surprised by the results.

So I’m pretty new to this whole attracting sort of thing. The ability to attract what you want in your life based on how your thoughts and feelings are flowing. Pretty neat stuff, but does it really work?

As its been explained to me, from what I read, you attract into your life based on the energy you put out into the universe. This could be emotional, mental, spiritual, psychic energy. All that stuff that comes shooting out of you sends a signal to the universe to respond. And it responds by sending you the same stuff you put out.

Pretty simple really. I think its another way to say Karma. Or you reap what you sow. But, in truth does it work? And how can we tell if its actually working? What are the quantitative results!

Being results driven, I decided to try an experiment. Well its an ongoing experiment. What can I attract into my life that I want? While all these feel good stuff makes me feel good, how do I put it into action that brings me the results that I want in my life?

So here’s the experiment, or in this case, the case study. About hmm, say early July, I had been listening to Joe Vitale talk about the Attractor Factor. After I listened to his course, I wrote down the things that I wanted to see in my life. A car, a new job, new relationships. Ok, great so now I know what I want. Now, how do I get these things in my life? (I also put down a million dollars, but have yet to see that materialize.

So this case study focuses on the car.

I had been taking the bus for about three years since my VW quit on me, may she rest in peace. She didn’t really quit on me, I forgot to fill her radiator fluid, imagine that being important in Arizona.

And since then I hadn’t really wanted another car, I figured that’s what friends were for.

And in those three years I hadn’t really considered getting another car, until recently.

So I set down in writing, “I now have a beautiful, fun, safe, reliable car.”

Hmm, ok I said, that sounds nice. I had no idea WHAT kind of car that was, let alone what kind of car I wanted. There it was, in black and white, I had committed myself to it.

So about a week past and nothing really happened.

I said, well maybe I should at least find out what kind of make of car I want.

Ok, not so bad. So I did some research and looked around. I read an article somewhere saying that Hondas were the most reliable cars in the world.

That sounded good, I like reliable. They had great gas mileage, and were cute too. So I said great, I want a Honda.

Well, I didn’t know what kind of Honda I wanted. Miff.

This part took a little work. I had started with the general, I want a car. Worked to become more specific, Honda. But I didn’t know what kind of Honda I wanted.

So I browsed a bit. I started to look on Craigslist at all the different Hondas that were for sale, and that were affordable. Honda seem to run forever.

After a few weeks of exploration, I found one particular Honda that I really started to like. It was gray, small, fuel efficient, cute, sporty, fast, and it caught my eye. It was the CRX.

Now granted before this, I had seen CRXs around, but hadn’t given them much thought. They were cute, and fast but I didn’t have any sort of preference for them.

For some reason, they caught my eye. I had started to look around for more CRXs. And read a bit about them. They were sporty, reliable, fun, had great gas mileage, and they seemed to run forever.

Great! I thought, I had started to like the CRX. Which was good because for some reason, they were abundant here on the Phoenix Craigslist.

So what I did was put the RSS feed for Hondas on my netvibes.com site, and sat and watched for the deals. I was looking for a car that was under 2,000 dollars, and that was in good shape, and drivable.

I had kept my feed for about a month, responded to a few ads but nothing happened. A few blips on the radar no major motion.

Then something changed.

Its hard to describe exactly what happened, but essentially I had started to really LOVE the CRX. I mean just love and appreciate and adore them. This mental shift, of actively flowing positive emotions, imagining myself owning my own CRX, started to boost my excitement. And that excitement boosted more excitement, until it was a perpetual excitement cycle.

Somewhere along the way, I decided to love the CRX. And with that love, I imagined owning the CRX. Instead of saying I own the CRX in the future, I placed the ownership in the present or the past, so the universe would know where to give me this car. If you say you want or have something in the future, then you’ll keep getting more want of something in the future.

With all this love some of the universal magic started to happen. I had sent an email for a CRX, that was a little out of my price range, but wanted to give it a shot anyways. She had emailed me back, answering the general questions about the title, etcetera. So that was all good, the car was good to go and it ran well, and it had been in storage for about 7 months, so less wear and tear from her. Great.

She had to sell it fast. She was moving out of the country and needed to make the sale by the weekend.

I had told her, that I was working that weekend, and wouldn’t be able to see the car. However, if she didn’t receive any offers she liked, to give me a call. She said she would, and I didn’t give the incident much more thought.

Until Monday rolled around.

I received an early call from her asking me how much I was willing to offer her for the car. I was thinking to myself, hmm that’s interesting, she didn’t find any other people who were interested in her CRX? I made her an offer. She seemed pleased with it, but I told her I had to find out if I could get the money and arrange for a ride to see it. Done, and I was off trying to arrange a ride.

While I didn’t have any luck arranging a ride that morning (all my friends were working at the time), she did bring up the car for me to look at. Something about, oh I was in the area sort of thing. And naturally I was excited to see the car.

It was then I REALLY fell in love with the CRXs and we agreed on a price that we were both happy with!

As luck would have it, my father was out visiting for a high school reunion, so we were able to go get the car, pay for it, and get it back to my condo. I was the happiest man that day. I got to spend time with my father and get a great car that was fun to drive!

So it was a day of coincidences for me! Coincidentally, I was able to get a great car, it literally came to me so I could see it and test drive it, and then I was able to have a father and son day going to get it.

I must say this law of attraction is pretty cool. That was the biggie for me, to see if I could get a car, to prove to myself that it would work and have some evidence for it. Now I have a beautiful Honda CRX sitting in the parking lot, and she is a dream, I think I’ll call her Shannon.

I sent the previous owner a email the other day to thank her for the wonderful car, and she had an unusual remark. She said that when I was driving it away, it looked like to her that is was my car, and that I looked so comfortable in it. It must have been, because I had attracted Shannon into my life.

Voosh, and I’m glad I did!

Depression is a seekers journey. It is a journey of understanding, peace, and inner guidance. In some respects, depression is a spiritual problem; a spiritual illness. It is an admittance of disconnection from our source, our total selves, our subconscious, our emotions, and our strength.

At times, depression can be overwhelming. You can go through depressive states and not even know your depressed. You can find yourself feeling like your missing something, but not knowing what. You can also feel that things don’t matter, or that its not so bad. Or you may feel overcome by deep sadness. It is a state of emotional and spiritual flux.

While there may be many causes of depression, there are ways to confront and overcome depression. There is hope. Finding strength and finding methods for relieving the imbalance is what this article is about.

It is by no means a complete list, but there are several tools that I have used to bring myself out of a depressive state and to reclaim my life. Let’s begin, shall we?

1) Recognition - Recognize what you are feeling now. Whatever you are feeling, become aware of it. Recognizing any sort of negative pattern is the first thing to do. When you increase your awareness, you are embracing your current state. While you may not know what to do next, you have taken an important first step in admitting to yourself that you are feeling what you are feeling, thinking what you are thinking, and that your life is mirroring these energies.

2) Grieve - Grieve for the losses in your life. Grieve for the people you miss, the things you cannot do or the things you want to do but can’t yet. Grieve for the choices you’ve made in your life. Grieve and feel, in some small way, that you are reconnecting with yourself. Your deep self. The self that you’ve somehow neglected over time. The soft inner self. Let yourself become aware of all these emotions, the conflicts, the struggles, the pain. Release your emotions.

3) Reclaim – Reclaim your lost, disassociated self. Reclaim your feelings, take ownership of them, no matter how bad. Say, at least their mine, for the time being. These feelings, once reclaimed and released, will gently dissipate in time. Reclaim the pieces. Reclaim the shattered emotional disturbances, the hang ups, the disappointments. Reclaim all of yourself. Say they are mine.

4) Channel The Energy – Find an activity, or a practise, that allows you to actively channel these energies. Find an outlet for them, a place to release everything. It could be a journal, an art, meditation, or qi gong When you have a way to channel these newly founded energies, you give yourself a way to become conscious of them, recognize them, and to release them. Soon this practise will become easier, and in time releasing these emotions will become second nature. This process is the part of the empowering.

5) For the Times You Need It - After a period of time, of recognition and release, you may find yourself slipping into old patterns or beliefs. When you need a boost, start by thinking of the things you are genuinely happy for in your life. Make a list, and keep these for when you need them. If you feel that you’re having a down day, thinking of these things will give you focus on something positive and uplifting and empowering. That will train your mind to recognize these patterns, and to turn your focus when you need to. By doing this, you are exercising your will to empower yourself in your life and your journey.

Any step in overcoming depression is a step in the right direction. Start small and with little bits at a time. Seek help, professional or from your loved ones if you need it. You might be surprised to find people will respond and support you in your time of need.

May you find peace and happiness on your journey.

Here’s a little easy safe way to get qi gong into your day.

A trick I learned for doing qi gong in the car, on the bus, or at anytime. If you’re driving, do this at a stoplight, just to be safe.

Step 1) Take a deep breath and let it out.

Step 2) Bring your awareness onto your body. How does it feel right now? Where does it feel heavy, light, or tense?

Step 3) Once you have centered your awareness, breathe in, and when you breathe out, imagine the energy coming from the center of your body and emanating into the rest of your body. Do this three times.

Step 4) Next, notice if you have any pain or discomfort in your body. Bring your awareness onto these areas.

Step 5) Now, breathe into these areas of discomfort, and then exhale. Do this three times for each area.

Step 6) Take a deep breathe and imagine that this breath is filling your body from your toes all the way into your head. When you exhale, imagine that you breathing out that energy through your hands. Do this three times.

That’s it! How do you feel now?

If you have any comments or suggestions let me know!

More…

Have more time. Have more money. Have more resources. Have more bandwidth.

Need more? No problem. How about more time? Sure that too.

Its all good. The desire for more time, more time to do things, the things you like.

Once you get your more time, the most important question is, what will you do with it? If you have it, then you’ll have the ability to make more positive choices in your life. And you’ll have more time to think about the things you want to attract in your life.

I digress. Lets get to having more time first, then deciding what to do with it:

1) Give Up TV. Want more time, throw out your television. Don’t worry, there is always YouTube, in case you REALLY need to see a Family Guy Episode. The Internet has made old style TV obsolete. So don’t feel bad about tossing it. You’ll have two + more hours everyday. Woopee!

2) Learn to Photo Read. Photo who? Its like speed reading, but much much faster. But if you don’t read, read first. Even two books a year is better than the average adult. Here’s a good photoreading book. So read first, then read faster, then read fastest, then you’ll be reading like 20 books a month. Not so bad eh?

3) Exercise. Gives you the energy to keep on going in life. Increases your life span and your ability to cope with stress. Makes you live longer. You have more time to enjoy your exercise routine. More time to enjoy cantaloupe.

4) Refinance Your Mortgage With Friends. Learn to improve your relationships with friends. Also learn to improve the quality of the time together. Text less, cell less, spend more time together more. Do more things. Have more real life relationships than virtual. All this improves the amount of face time and decreases the amount of virtual time you spend/waste on text chit chat.

5) Triage. Make the best use of your time right now. Is this the best use of my time right now? Cut out unnecessary waste in your day; traveling, cooking, working, lounging around. Find ways to improve overall efficiency. Value your time. Then you’ll use it better.

6) Focus on Now. NOW! This is all you got, the past and the future are a hologram in your head. So invest more into here and now rather than a hologram, no matter how pretty. Now you can do this and that and all this that, and feel more productive and really discover what’s important to you right now.

7) Find Your Life’s Purpose. Steve Pavlina did it best. Discover your life purpose in about 20 minutes. Not so bad for 20 minutes, I clip my toe nails for longer. Take 20 minutes, setting in on a time for yourself, and go through the exercise. After, your life will make sense, and you’ll be happy. Or at least you’ll have a chance to be happier.

Have a suggestion? Let me know. Have any time saving suggestions? I want to hear it. The more the merrier.

I am on a quest to discover how to be in a relationship.

What do I need to do in order to be, want, and discover a relationship?

Somewhere along the line I had stumbled.

I have been single for over a year, and had wanted some way to be in intimate relationships, but didn’t have a proper model, nor the self confidence to do so.

It left me with less than more.

There must be some way? Some way to connect with confidence? In a healthy manner.

Rather than hodgepodge, flighty hope.

Tools. I needed tools. Techniques, methods. So I could ensure, or promote, some health and wealth in my life.

I had found something a little different than I had expected.

Techniques of Suffering

If I had really wanted relationships as I professed, change would be made. Insisted upon that, but what changes would be best? I felt without a compass.

I needed something concrete, direct and applicable NOW.

Not tomorrow, or with 20 sessions of therapy. No way.

Here, now immediate! If not sooner!

Road Less Traveled

I felt I was breaking new territory. Within myself, by at least admitting my lack of success. That should have been enough.

It wasn’t.

Then provide for me the way.

An MD described it.

Prescribed it.

1. Scott Pleck.

“…experiencing the pain of problems constructively that I call discipline? There are four: delaying gratification, acceptance of responsibility, dedication to truth, and balancing.…”

No way.

Constructive pain management.

Confronting pain rather than avoiding it.

I had heard it before, zen monks may do this as a technique.

A way of dealing with trauma?

“To the contrary, they are simple tools, and almost all children are adept in their use by the age of ten. Yet presidents and kings will forget to use them, to their own downfall.”

I felt it then.

He was right.

An adult right. No removal of responsibility, denial of impact and purpose.

“For they are the tools with which pain is confronted rather than avoided, and if one seeks to avoid legitimate suffering, then one will avoid the use of these tools.”

Confronting pain. I didn’t like the sound of this. I had built my life around avoiding pain so this must not be right. Something along the way went terribly wrong. Somewhere.

I didn’t like this new found wisdom. It empowered choice and responsibility. Me. In short, gave me back what I had needed to choose this path. Simple, applicable methods of confronting relationships. And life.

“…examine the will to use them, which is love.”

The will to use these tools is love. What a way about it!

Love, the will to use these simple methods, to confront pain instead of avoiding it to bring joy into your life and in your relationships. A manual.

The whole text.

“What are these tools, these techniques of suffering, these means of experiencing the pain of problems constructively that I call discipline? There are four: delaying gratification, acceptance of responsibility, dedication to truth, and balancing. As will be evident, these are not complex tools whose application demands extensive training. To the contrary, they are simple tools, and almost all children are adept in their use by the age of ten. Yet presidents and kings will forget to use them, to their own downfall. The problem lies not in the complexity of these tools but in the will to use them. For they are the tools with which pain is confronted rather than avoided, and if one seeks to avoid legitimate suffering, then one will avoid the use of these tools. Therefore, after analyzing each of these tools, we shall in the next section examine the will to use them, which is love.”

-(from The Road Less Travelled, by M. Scott Peck, MD)

It became suddenly clear.

Late evening, I was turning pages in an article looking for some guidance on my newly discovered life choice, of becoming polyamorous. While reading one of the excerpts, I found a quote that struck me. It made sense, it was so simple in design. So perfect in its description that I wondered why I hadn’t heard of it before.

“Safe People”

I read the definition a few times, scratched my head and read it again.

Safe people.

Well what does that mean exactly? What is a safe person? Someone I could just run to and feel safe around when I needed to be comforted?

I scanned further, intending to discover the full meaning of these two joined words.

Safe People: People who draw you closer to who you were meant to be spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically. They encourage you to be your most loving, growing self.

“That’s nice.” I thought. Really nice.

What a great idea, I wish I had thought of it before. Or heard it or got it. Would have saved me some grief.

Safe people.

“What are these people? And where can I find them?” I thought, without realizing that I had copied and pasted this phrase into my gmail so I may have it forever.

I had struck gold.

If there were a more perfect definition of who I wanted in my life, it would be this. Laid right in front of me.

Naturally, I had my doubts. “How could I attract these people into my life?” I thought. Then wondered about the people who were in my life right now. Oh, boy.

I don’t like firing people from my life, but sometimes it seems it might be necessary. They weren’t safe people.

“What if they could become safe people?”

“Am I a safe person?”

My heart sunk.

Not to everyone. And no, not everyone could.

Sometimes it is so hard to be so honest to yourself, but I felt a bit better after I did. Took some inventory, laid out a plan.

“I’ll get to it tomorrow…” I said.

What could I do?

Each day I wake up and I wonder to myself, what is my mission for today, if I choose to accept it? What would I do if I could do anything I wanted? More often than not, it could end up being the samething day in and day out. Does this sound familiar?

I feel that there is a better way. You can find passion and excitement if you find a new ways to empower your everyday life. Here are some thoughts.

1) Find Your Daily Niche. This is great way to start your day. Finding your daily niche brings some excitement and focus to your day. You could find new ways to laugh. Discover a new computer program. Or write a Haiku. Find something new to work on or develop a skill you already have.

2) Break Down the Larger into Smaller parts. Goals are easier to accomplish when you can break them up. Start with the metagoal, and break it up into smaller, more manageable subgoals. If you are making dinner tonight, you could decide first what you want to eat, think about the ingredients you want to buy, and then when you want to prep dinner. This method will give you the ability to more easily process the subgoals which complete the metagoal.

3) Find the Spiritual in Everyday. Do at least one thing, everyday, that connects you with your Higher Power. This could be as simple as saying a prayer, or listening to an uplifting song. You can do this to give yourself a boost during the day if you need it.

4) Move from the general to the specific. The more specificity you can bring to your life, the richer it will be. Do you like coffee? Or do you like Espresso? Do you like jeans, or do you like a particular brand or style of jeans? Adding specificity to your life allows you to pursue the goals that will bring you the most pleasure. For an activity, write down all the things you like. Then, write what specifically you like about it, then a specific way to get more of what you like.

5) Find the things that give you pleasure. Practice honest spirituality. What makes you happy right now? Do you pursue goals that give you pleasure and happiness and bring enrichment into your life right now? The wonderful power of our bodies is it has its own built it pleasure sensor. With a simple biological response we know if we are moving towards pleasure or away from it. All it takes is awareness of what we feel, then either continuing with what we are pursuing, or moving in the opposite direction.

6) Have Little Rewards. Take time to do little things for yourself. Get a coffee or reward yourself when you complete a goal. No matter how small, it reinforces positive behavior and gives you motivation for setting up and completing new goals. Whether its calling a friend or writing a song or going for a walk, reward yourself with a treat. Having positive self-perpetuating habits are great! Nothing better than positive goal setting on autopilot.

7) Maximize your time. Ask yourself this. Is this the best thing I can do for myself, and my loved ones right now? When you ask this question, you put your day into immediate perspective, and then you can start to make some really clear choices. Other less important options drop away, and you focus on that one thing that is important at this moment. Empower this moment, and you empower your future and your past, simultaneously.

Give these steps a try. Right now, your day can become more meaningful to you and the ones you love in your life.
