3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
With ample personal space in the morning, I have ample opportunity to calm the mind and achieve Total Internal Silence, and experience this life as the Observer rather than the character I play. The consequence will be happiness and peace of mind! I have no regrets about living as a character, because it's fully enabled me to experience life in all its aspects, but to fully appreciate the experience, it's time to elevate awareness to a higher perspective.

Calm and focus are absolutely crucial to achieve continual Higher Awareness, so calm and focus are getting priority attention.
