When you realize that your viewpoint is inherently limited, the only intelligent response to different perspectives is tolerance. You relax the insistence that only your ideas are worthwhile. You’re more inclined to consider the possibility that the opinions of others might be correct, even when it seems unlikely. You understand that everybody is on their own journey of consciousness, traveling at their own speed and embodying various levels of awareness in different arenas. You have compassion when you think someone else is misguided and for yourself when you’re wrong. Tolerance makes sense.

It’s wise.

The subtleties of life don’t get explained in sound bytes. Characterizing anything with broad brush strokes may be convenient, but it can’t accurately describe the complexity, interconnectness and nuance of the real world. Beware: anytime something is expressed in stark black and white terms, in order to persuade you or raise your ire, it’s probably an attempt at manipulation. And…

Most likely untrue.

Even though you’ve been taught that critical judgment is important and a sign of intelligence, overuse of this faculty can have some extremely deleterious side affects. Except for when your safety is at risk, every single time you condemn or scoff at others, you are simply further defining yourself in a negative light. Each judgment is another bar in the cage that locks you into a limited perspective that affects your self-esteem. When you react to the moment with fresh and unbiased curiosity, you allow something wonderful to happen…

The expansion of your consciousness.

Steve and Jarl

When something in your life activates unpleasant feelings, get in the habit of reminding yourself to look for solutions. Don’t waste your time assigning blame by detailing all the various ways somebody did something wrong (even if you’re just doing it to yourself.) Make sure to actually feel your feelings about the issue rather than just thinking and talking about them so you can neutralize the negative energy rather than strengthen it. After you’ve returned to balance, imagine radiating light and love to the dark energy and watch it…

Enlighten and heal.

Steve and Jarl

Some people are reluctant to embrace the fact that they are completely responsible for their experience of life. Many believe that outer circumstances like their job, where they live, their friends or their finances are the factors that determine how they feel. However, it’s not what happens but how you view it that creates your feelings. The key is knowing how to modulate your responses to life no matter what’s happening. You can develop this skill by becoming conscious of how your thoughts affect you. Then you’re empowered to…

Create the world you want.

Steve and Jarl

When you really think about it, the reason you do anything is because you think it’ll make you happy. And even though you may hesitate to state that your overarching goal in life is something as simple as ‘feeling good’, it probably is indeed what you’re after. Your reluctance might stem from a fear that you’ll appear narrow and selfish in the eyes of others. But, the truth is, nothing is better for your friends, family, colleagues and even the whole planet, than you being a happy camper. When you’re happy…

Everyone’s off the hook.

Steve and Jarl

Anger is usually a response to the story you’re telling yourself. Whether you’re upset because someone put you in danger, something didn’t go your way or you feel you’ve lost control, anger is always based on the narrative. And you’re the narrator. Of course you’ll always have likes and dislikes, but what you choose to focus on makes a huge difference. If you want to create a satisfying emotional world, refrain from repeatedly recounting stories that are focused on stuff you don’t like. Doing that just makes you mad.

Drop the story and move on.

Steve and Jarl

Conscious people don’t harm others because they’re aware of a powerful truth: you can’t hurt others without hurting yourself. Just like each cell affects your whole body, there is an intrinsic connection between all humans. In other words, we’re all one. Only people who don’t yet understand this fact are capable of intentionally causing suffering. Judgment, anger or lecturing will not help them see the light. When someone’s consciousness is not evolved enough to know this truth, understanding and compassion are the best way to educate them…

Teach through example.

Steve and Jarl

It’s easy to believe you have a clear understanding of the world around you. But even when your story makes sense to you, there’s so much about the characters, plot and back story that you don’t know. A blob of color on a large painting that seems unappealing from a few inches away becomes a perfectly painted eyebrow of a beautiful woman at a distance of 20 feet. Your viewpoint is always limited by where you stand. Acknowledging the limitation of your perspective helps free you from the limitations…

Of your judgments.

Steve and Jarl

Whatever you say after the words, I am, creates your personal reality. But your experience will only include that which you firmly believe. Only what you feel and declare with conviction manifests as your experience. If you say, “I am fat,” and believe it, you send a powerful message to your subconscious mind, instructing it to find evidence in the world that helps you maintain that belief. When you say, “I am the perfect weight,” and imagine what that feels like, that eventually becomes your reality. Whatever you believe you are…

You are.

Steve and Jarl

When something seems ‘wrong,’ remember you are the one who labeled it that way. Just because it’s not in alignment with your desires, doesn’t mean it’s wrong. The ability to understand that what shows up in life is the inevitable outcome of all that’s come before, helps you keep things in perspective. When you accept life in this context, you don’t take anything personally. Instead of wasting your time assigning blame, you see more deeply into the origins of the matter with compassion, and from an unbiased and proactive point of view…

You take action.

Steve and Jarl

You’ve been continuously adapting to changes in your environment and body since the day you were born. In fact, life itself is a journey of transformation. Some seminal events necessitate massive adjustments, while others require only minor tweaks. Whether you’re experiencing joy or difficulty, your ability to flexibly adapt is enhanced by remembering that you always have been and always will be a work in progress. Be as kind to yourself as you’d be to a baby learning to walk. After all, it’s the first time you’ve ever been…

In this moment.

Steve and Jarl

Everyone is located somewhere on the continuum between conscious co-creation and unconscious reaction. Your experience depends on the type of programming you’ve had. Once you truly understand this, you are neither be a victim of circumstance nor subject to unconscious knee-jerk reactions. You see how everything has the potential to serve your greater well-being. You’re aware of the split-second gap between what happens (out there) and the way you respond to it. When you recognize the choice you have in that brief interlude and consciously exercise it to your advantage, you’ve discovered something magical…

Free will.

Steve and Jarl

The curious thing about conditioning is that it causes you to look for and confirm what you already believe to be true. This mostly unconscious verification process gives you a sense of comfort, control and meaning. If you believe that the world is a safe place, that’s primarily what you’ll experience. If you belief people are out to get you, your actions will attract that. The bottom line is this: Think about the way you‘d like to see the world and… 

Believe in that.

Steve and Jarl

There’s an incalculable number of activities, events and interactions, both positive and negative, happening in every moment. Each one has an impact on the totality. You can really only know about what you see in front of you. And, even that is filtered through your conditioning. You can hear news through secondary sources like the media, but that’s the product of other peoples’ filters. When you consider how limited and possibly skewed your own view of reality actually is, getting upset over anything outside your immediate surroundings seems unnecessary and even unhealthy for you…

And the planet.

Steve and Jarl

No matter how hard you try, you’ll never find happiness or peace of mind by focusing on what’s wrong. There will be things you don’t like in the world until the end of time because everything contains both good and bad (light and dark, freedom and constraint, etc.) The only place you can align yourself with peace and happiness is in your own mind. How you choose to focus your attention actively immerses you in one or the other. Whichever direction you choose energizes that quality in both your life…

And in the world.

Steve and Jarl
