To live a fun, exhilarating, and satisfying life.

To have self-mastery, regulate emotions for peace, happiness and feel playful inside;

To laugh often and much daily;

To win the affection of children and the respect of the intelligent people;

To be attentive, appreciate honest criticisms, and be resilient to endure the betrayal of false friends.

To appreciate authentic beauty, Smell flowers, feel the sensation of touch on my skin, and dance to music. In the NOW, enjoy moments of beauty.

To experience the burn of a good workout. The satisfaction of healthy and tasty foods. Feel the warmth of the sun on my skin and the clean air in my lungs. (Enjoy beach days)

To find the beauty in others.

To leave the world a bit better by emotionally healthy children, a business that outlives me and helps others, maybe a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition.

To be at peace having enough.

To know that one life has breathed easier because I was there.
