The Code of Owners

I am the owner of my life, and every moment is precious to me.

Therefore, I dedicate myself to reaching my full potential — and sharing it with the world. I will become the person I was meant to be, living the life I want to live, in every moment left to me, beginning now!

I follow these principles without reservation, and work diligently to remove any mental or emotional blocks that interfere with me doing so:

NO WHINING! I own my life, so I'm responsible for it. If I don't like something, I change it. If I can't change it, or it's not worth changing, I focus my attention on something else. If It Feels Bad, You're Doing It Wrong If I feel stressed or fearful or angry or sad, I know that it's because of what I'm thinking. So I will think of getting what I want, not about what I don't have. I will think that I am capable of overcoming obstacles, instead of assuming they will crush me. I will stop making things harder for myself, and learn to make them easier instead. You Get What You Think You Deserve Animals establish a pecking order to determine who gets "what's coming to them". But I am a human being, and I don't need to "keep my place" in the pecking order to avoid getting injured or killed! I will not treat myself as "unworthy", but will instead ask for what I want, and trade generously to get it. I will not cheat others, but neither will I withhold enjoyment or fulfillment or compassion from myself, just because I don't think I "deserve" them yet. Deserving is for animals. Suffering Is A Divided Mind Whether I'm at work and thinking about home, or at home thinking about work, I suffer. When my body and mind are in the same place, I am committed. I am engaged. I am involved. And I am fulfilled. Commitment is flow — and joy. Therefore, I let go of everything that is not in the here and now. And I choose what I want most, instead of just complaining that I have to choose! Life Is Every Moment There is no such thing as the future, except that we think of it now. So when I work towards a better future, I will enjoy it now, because now is the only moment I have. I won't wait until "someday" to start living, because my life has already started, and this is it ! Therefore, I will enjoy each small piece of my vision as I work to make it real. I may not live to see my vision come alive, but I will certainly see it in my heart... every single day of my existence.
