All day today, choose to move like various chess pieces. In the morning, travel only diagonally like a bishop. In the afternoon, always move eight steps forward and two steps right or left, like a knight. This evening (after school/work), spend lots of your time where you already are by moving for only very short […]
Sometime today, borrow a friend’s car and drive it to a car wash. Get it thoroughly cleaned, fill it with gas, and return it (without using it for any personal errands). If you don’t have the money for the car wash &/or don’t want to drive, ask to borrow the car while your friend/neighbor is […]
Your body is the agent through which your life is lived (and through which all of your Good Deeds are performed), and as such it must be actively cared for in order to make your life potent and thereby meaning-full. With this in mind you might be tempted to pamper your “Temple” today – you […]
This morning, list your life’s major accomplishments.

At least once per hour, point out your observations to another person(s) so that they too can witness the “radical Kindness” that surrounds them every day … There is always Loving deeds nearby … Choose to look for them today […]
Every conscious being on Earth represents a dynamic interplay between two “selves” – the self-centered “ego-self” (concerned solely with its own survival via enhanced pleasure, secured comfort, &/or insulated safety) and the selflessly caring “True Self” (or conscience — concerned solely with engaging ways to serve others; to relieve their burdens or enhance their Joy).

Go all day today without looking into a mirror. Instead, carry a small hand-mirror with you and encourage others (at least 3 different people at 3 different times in 3 different places) to pause & gaze into their own eyes, using the introductory phrase: “Do you want to see something Beauty-full?”
