Application into our Daily Life

With all the books we read, the documentaries we watch, the techniques we learn, the religions we practice, the application of it onto our daily life seems to escape us.

What is knowledge without application but entertainment? 

What good is quoting philosophers or scriptures without application but the ego showing off?

What is a physical technique in meditation, the gym, or posture without application but a waste of knowledge?

At some point you have to realize that we don’t NEED to read another book, watch another documentary, follow another teacher.

We KNOW all we need to know.

We know what we should eat.

We know how we should treat others.

We know how active we should be.

We know what kind of mindset we should have.

We know how much challenge we should put before us.

All the above I’ve shared before in one way or another. 

Why? Because to me it’s like anything else, no matter how bad smoking is or eating fries and ice cream is, until something finally nudges our minds to say enough is enough, you won’t do it.

Because I believe each of us can make a difference and I do wish I had someone taking the time to bringing me knowledge on a healthier life from every angle when I was younger. 

I stand firm, speak out and show the example of doing it in hopes someone today will decide to make today a healthier, more enriched, more productive day.

Why? Because it matters. Because you matter. Because your actions AND inactions create a ripple effect in this world that affect others.

If we all do a little, no one has to do a lot.

Shaolin Master Shi Heng Yi said in an interview,

“Why do we need intention?

Because only Intention mobilizes energy.

Why do we need to mobilize energy?

Because only mobilized energy is creating something.

Doing things without intention, creates nothing, much less nothing new. Basically you’re just wasting your time.

It doesn’t matter what you do as much as it matters how you do it.’

Go out today and make better decisions.

Look at the reflection on the mirror and tell it

I love you!

You are fully energized!

You’re going to make a difference today!

Your ripple will affect others in a very positive way today!

You’re making better choices in the food you eat today!

You’re going to do your best in everything you do.

You’re going to live with intention today.

Today is going to be an amazing day!

I love you!

Go out and win the day!
