The following traits are not the particular wants and favorites of my own ego-self, but rather are facets of my True-Being; facets of the True Self who reside within us all … With that in mind, here is a description of the same:

*I regularly pause to sit in sunbeams & bathe in rainstorms …

*I caress plants, smile at butterflies and speak with all animals …

*I see the best in others — while expecting nothing of the sort in return …

*I live vicariously through myself …

*I resist the temptation to resist temptation — I am willingly self-disciplined …

*I demand nothing — and give the rest away willingly …

*There are times when my wings are broken, and yet still I continue to sing …

*I have learned to sail life’s smooth waters by first navigating its storms …

*I do not wait to become famous to wear the “dark glasses” of humility, but don them ahead of time in the hopes of remaining powerfully anonymous …

*My morality’s chain has only one link — selfless Love …

*I know that a “good start” is half the work — because I realize that The Work has no end.
