3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
In the current cosy/comfy benign environment I enjoy, I have neglected the marketing and promotion of my Practice. I don't feel too bad about this as my priority is to be happy and make a difference by any route available, and right now the success of my Practice is not crucial to that, as much as I love it. That said, I have no intention of giving it up, and I am always watching for free opportunities to promote it. 

I believe that life is for living, I reject utterly the "work ethic" and I intend to extract the maximum pleasure and enjoyment from this temporary experience. I therefore refuse point blank to put myself under any pressure which would have consequences for my loved ones. I will respond as and when I need to in the continued pursuit of my goals. Right now I am very happy, and if it aint broke, don't fix it.

There's something to be said for "living under the radar" - quietly getting on with enjoying life mostly unnoticed. When you "make it big", that "bigness" requires a lot of maintenance and increased security, as you are increasingly a "target" for malevolent forces who want a piece of what you've got. I am loved, comfortable and happy, so there's not much incentive to get "bigger".

8. TRIVIA
A blue whale is so massive, that when it dives, its head is already deeper than most scuba divers can safely dive to before its tail even leaves the surface of the water. 

9.  ZEN WISDOM 
Only when we learn to channel the energy we direct toward winning over others into winning over ourselves can we begin to develop our humanity.
