Brain Overload

How much data can a human brain store?  In my 83 years on this planet, I have absorbed so much data.  I have probably read 5,000 books and articles.  I have been to well over a thousand lectures - by teachers, authors, and speakers.

I have synthesized my learning into a few general beliefs which will carry me through to the last of my days.  Here are thirteen of them.

1.  It is better to live in gratitude than in regret or resentment.
2. Forgiving others for hurting me does not mean that it was right.  People act at the level of their awareness and consciousness.  If they knew better, they woud do better.  I don't have to be around them, however.
3.  It makes no sense to compare myself to others, envy others, or judge others.  I am me, with my own experiences, and my own perceptions.
4. I am enough.  I do enough.  I continue to do my best most of the time.
5. Too much time in cultural values is exhausting and depressing.  There has always been suffering, evil, and selfishness.
6. Growing up means finding meaning and purpose, and not getting caught up in fads, trends, or cultural messages.
7. Selective vulnerability is the way to go -- sharing as much myself as makes sense given the situation.
8. Political leaders represent the collective consciousness of society.  The only savior is the one inside Spirit and ourselves.
9. Every moment is an opportunity to share and spread love and healing energy.
10. There is no where to get to.  We have everything we need.
11. Every day of good health is a gift.
12. Finding a support network and being supportive of other people's journey make life better.
13. Be still, meditate, pray, listen, accept, seek justice, and dance while you can.
