Day 26:

The 7-Step Summary of our U-turn (Wayne Dyer's book, The Shift):

1.   We shift to personal empowerment.  Through conscious compassionate curiosity and caring first for our inner self instead of trying to be right because some outside source is influencing our every move and decisions.
2.  We see ourselves connected to everyone.  This eliminates the need to compete with anyone because we are all from the same source.
3.  We are motivated by ethics, serenity, and quality of life.  Instead of external achievements and performance.  We are motivated by the direction of life in feeling peaceful, being honest and assisting others.
4.  We shift to the possibility, even the expectation, of miracles being a part of life.  We rely less on our senses and much more on our intuitive knowing.
5.  We pursue a meditation practice.  Seeking silence to consciously contact God which becomes a natural component of a meaningful life.
6.  We begin to recognize ourselves in nature's beauty and intricacy.  The miracles in the natural world are endless and we begin to be fascinated by it.
7.  We are less judgmental.  We can easily understand and forgive.  The ego is adamant about seeking revenge.  This only prohibits us form feeling purposeful and living a life of meaning.
