HABITS OF ENLIGHTENED SOULS1.Be quiet.At least once a day, sit down.There is a source within each one of uscalled the spirit or soul.It is a crime to disturb the inner peace.

This peace is our power tocreate positive things in our life.Try speaking more softly and slowlythan your usual way.Speaking this way is more powerfulbecause it attracts the peace in others.Just be aware of your words.

Savor their energy and rhythm.2.Let go.Don't hold on to anything with your handor with your mind.Many think that doing this means losing.If you don't release the old,you can't get anything new.

This requires detachment.Letting go means moderating excessiveattachment to material possessions,to emotions,or to the status quo

or comfort zones in our lives.3.Let it be.We are great fixers of other people's lives.We're trying to write somebody else's script.We are absent from our own lives because

we're busy living the life of others.Acceptance and contentmentare the first steps to healthy relationships.An example is our appreciation of the moon,which is beyond change.

We never dream of wanting to change or influence it,nor have we the slightest remorse that the same face

of the moon is always turned toward us:We have no need to see the dark side.Extend this deep feeling of acceptanceto the people we meet.4.Listen in.Use your intuition, the inner tutor

and the voice of wisdom.Because we have held on to our false beliefsfor so long, we ignore and distrustour inner voice and tell it to shut up.The process of enlightenment is the process

of learning to trust that Inner voice once again.An example is the conscience as intuition at work.When we misbehave, the voice of conscience

alerts us to our mistake.We may shun that voice, engaging in reason

as the ally of ego to justify our deeds.Yet the troubling intuitive disapproval of conscience

will go on to make its rebukes.We can either suppress the advice or repair the wrong.5.Wake up.Habits are programmed by our external conditioning.Write down your habits then decide

which ones to strike out

and replace them with virtues.Visualize the virtue you want to createand empower that image.For example, if you want to develop patience,visualize yourself as a patient person.

Watch, feel and manifest patience in every action

you do until it becomes your behavior.Waking up is to consciously choose your behaviorand thereby create the personality you want.Never believe anyone who says, " You can never change. "

6.Know yourself.Look behind the " I want " attitude,Those desires that make us need thingsthat are not necessary.The truth is, happiness is a choice, not a chore,A decision to bring out from the self.

Affirm that you are happiness,A source of happiness.7.Pass it on.Take one idea from this article thenpass it on to another.You empower yourself and the otheras you share this truth.This is also giving value to the time

you spent reading this.Life is like a river, constantly flowing.The highest purpose of rivers is to nourish plantsand people who are fellow travelers in thejourney of life.Our highest purpose is to nourish others.

Like the river, the greatest giftone can give is wisdom.Through this, you empower yourselfas well as others.Try these habits, one by one.Author unknown but appreciated
