Twelve Wise Principles of Present Living

These Twelve Wise Principles are practical tools that help a person shed the past and be more present.  Take the "You're Good!" self-assessment test to discover which of these are most needed for you to be as good as you can be!

  1. Health: You seek to be aware of and tuned in to your body, eagerly listening to its ever-present ability to offer you signals about what's going on inside you.

  2. Beliefs: You seek to let go of the "buttons" that trigger your frustrations, anger and fear, in order to accept the present moment as it actually is.

  3. Authentic You seek to be real by openly, playfully and respectfully revealing your true thoughts and feelings where not doing is failing to be true to yourself.

  4. RiskYou risk the disapproval of others in order to be true to yourself, respecting their right to disapprove of you, and overcoming your natural desire to strike back if they do criticize or abandon you.

  5. Let GoYou seek to let go of your attachment to money, possessions and people  so that these outside pressures will not block you from being true to your quiet voice inside.

  6. FeelingsYou seek to overcome the illusory power of your feelings, neither suppressing them nor letting them drive your choices by blaming others in times of difficulty.

  7. WantsYou seek to pursue with passion that which you want from your presently available choices, neither seeking to relive the past nor pining for a future that may never come.

  8. Forgive: You seek to be non-judgmental, accepting and forgiving the flaws and mistakes made by you or by others without disapproving nor condemning.

  9. Boundaries: You seek to have clear boundaries, respecting the rights of others to be who they are while trusting yourself to defend that which is core to who you are on the inside.

  10. HumilityYou seek to put the needs of others ahead of yourself, secure in the knowledge that you lack nothing that is important and therefore are not needy.

  11. SurrenderYou seek to be aligned with God, anchored in the quiet promptings of his Holy Spirit that guides and prompts you intuitively in the moments you are still enough to hear Him.

  12. VulnerableYou seek to be vulnerable, loving one another persistently and consistently, especially with your marriage partner and even when you feel a great deal of pain.

You accept that you will regularly fail at any and all of these wise principles.
You accept that you can never walk this path in pursuit of perfection.
You accept that you are dependent on spiritual direction from above.
