200% – An Instruction Manual for Living Fully

Choose to be open to anything at all happening, to hold nothing fixed, to hold no certainty except that magic is a possibility. And that possibility is magic.

The bottom line for all of this is: “Do you want to be right? Or do you want to be happy?”

You need to let it go. You need to be okay with the person not changing, not getting it. The crucial thing is you said what you had to say.

Find as many ways as possible to praise the people in your life. Just do it and see what happens.

The grass is not greener on the other side of the fence. When you cross that fence, you’ll still have the same head. You’ll still have your tendency to judge, to compare, to take for granted, to not actively appreciate or give, to look at what else is on offer.

Buddha reportedly said: “We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.”

All that is good about being human lies in mastery of these following choices, in the order we’re going to talk about them: Choice 1: — To Own It (when you want to point the finger) Choice 2: — To Respond (when you want to react) Choice 3: — To Accept (when you want to reject) Choice 4: — To Appreciate (when you want to criticise)

Now, where you clearly cannot or do not wish to change or leave a situation you find intolerable, the third and only option left to you is full and complete acceptance.

Do you see the simple, and yet incredibly powerful beauty in choosing to take full and complete responsibility for all of your life?
