Looking for a Rufous

What do I know with absolute certainty?

This modest blurb was actually an exercise suggested by a relative. She suggested the exercise in her book, Let Go of the Rope, that I was reading, in the Appendix in a section titled “13 Lucky Truths”. Before you start, find a place where it’s quiet, where you can relax and meditate and focus on your breath if you choose. Once that’s done, don’t delay, just start answering the question. It should only take 5-10 minutes at the most. Here are my “truths” – I only did 10 – write down as many as you want, just don’t take all day, it should be spontaneous.

1.   It is OK not to love God, but it’s better if you do love God.
2.   Life is too short to waste on unfulfilling pursuits.
3.   Smiling is more fun than frowning, and it takes less energy.
4.   Be up front in all your relationships.
5.   It is OK to get mad occasionally; just don’t stay mad.
6.   If you help someone, someone will help you.
7.   It is OK to be happily married.
8.   Never stop saying I love you to your loved ones.
9.   Learn to like yourself and be happy with your lot in life.
10. Winning is great, but it is OK to lose.

By the way, you can order the book on Amazon.
