dear friends,

this monday marks 50 years in this body, and since my friends and
family are scattered across the globe, there will be no party or
gathering. however, this is a good time to reflect on what i've
learned since coming into this embodiment.

i've learned that the most important thing in life is learning and
growing.

i've learned that god loves us no matter who we are or what we've done.

i've learned that love means sometimes saying you're sorry.

i've learned that it is possible to find a balance between being human
and being divine, since we are both.

i've learned that as long as we are in these bodies, there will be
things to learn and obstacles to overcome.

i've learned that even when we look, feel and act imperfectly, we are
still perfect.

i've learned that even when things look horrible, there is still a
perfect divine plan.

i've learned that it is possible to be eternally youthful. the secret
is to find and follow what excites you.

i've learned that life can be simple, but it is rarely easy.

i've learned that there will always be parts of ourselves we haven't
explored yet.

i've learned that it's okay to want it all, as long as we're not
emotionally attached to the outcome.

i've learned that the one with the most joys wins.

i've learned that quality is more important than quantity.

i've learned that the secret to healing is to fully feel and express
yourself while at the same time being detached.

i've learned that a paradox involves two different ways of looking at
the same thing.

i've learned that the winding paths up the mountain are more
difficult, but also more interesting.

i've learned that when you get to the top of the mountain, there is
always another higher mountain in the distance.

i've learned that creation happens when you are quiet, centered, calm,
confident and expectant.

i've learned that the ego makes a great servant and a lousy master.

i've learned that life is like calculus - the concepts and principles
are simple, but you must master the basics first.

i've learned that you're never too old to take baby steps.

i've learned that everything in life is a gift.

i've learned that the more you are grateful for what you have, the
more you will have.

i've learned that letting go is easy; it's hanging on that's hard.

i've learned that self-judgment is the costliest of all activities.

i've learned that worry is the most useless thing in the universe.

i've learned that forgiving others is something you do for yourself,
not others.

i've learned that the journey is more important than the destination.

i've learned that what we see around us is a reflection of what is
within us.

i've learned that love happens naturally and spontaneously.

i've learned that giving and receiving are the same.

i've learned that the best teacher is he who makes himself unnecessary.

i've learned that we teach what we need to learn.

i've learned that we are that which we seek.

have a blessed day,

--sal

well i hope i'm not the first one to wish you happy birth day, but i
do
wish you happy birth day. 50 years old huh. got about 28 more to
catch
up with you.

i have learned quite a few things myself so far, many of them quite
simmilar to yours. my latest one being that life is about never
giving
up on love, and truth, no matter how hard it may seem.
