Obviously, if any of these are going on for you, you quality of life is diminished. Which, in turn, means that the meaning of life is not getting through to you. The meaning of life is to be happy. If you are so distracted by jumbled thinking that you cannot find this meaning, happiness is not with you.

The remedy? Be conscious of your mind. Sounds like a pun. Perhaps it is. Perhaps that will help you remember it. I am conscious of my mind.

Stop. Think.

What are your options? Opinions? Relations? Expressions? Activities? Goals? Dreams? Needs? Wants? You can only recognize any of these by being conscious of your mind.

You become conscious of your mind when you stop and think. Sit quietly in a quiet place. Eliminate as many sensory distractions as you can. In concentration just watch the flow of your thoughts as they pass by in your head. Do not, repeat, do not make judgements as to whether your thoughts are good or bad, useful or useless. Just watch. Observe.

What’s beneficial about this? First, you are quiet, if even for a short time. That in itself is good for you. Second, you get to observe the jumble of thoughts that naturally course through your mind. When you are ready, third, you “capture” one thought about something or someone. You thoroughly examine that thought. What will you do with that thought? What needs to be done?

Suppose you have a thought of your spouse. That thought leads to another, your wedding anniversary. Ah, you need to get a thoughtful present to celebrate.

Or you think of your job. What needs to be done, as priority, tomorrow? What’s the first thing you need to do tomorrow morning to get it done appropriately?

Do you see? By taking a quiet moment to watch the streaming-consciousness of your life, you get the opportunity to organize your thoughts. Guess what that does? It simplifies and enhances your life. You can develop the time to be happy.

Repeat after me: I am conscious of my mind. Then take two minutes to quietly observe your rushing river of thought. Then grab one thought and make it realizable. A real, key life phrase: I am conscious of my mind.

Coach potatoes only grow soft and sometimes even develop a little fuzzy mold from their extremities. (Some folks who read this may be confined to a chair or bed. You are most assuredly excluded from the coach potato idea. But you can still be a well-being warrior.)

Of course there are three areas of life and living that constitute well-being: physical, mental and spiritual. Get off your couch even if you do not like exercise. DO SOMETHING.
Get off your mental couch. READ SOMETHING OR WATCH EDUCATIONAL TV. Get of your Spiritual couch. LEARN TO PRAY OR MEDITATE OR CONCENTRATE.

I cannot tell you how much better you will feel in each of these departments once you are and doing something. If you are able and you do any kind of physical activity suited to your present physical condition, your blood will sing through your arteries and veins. The “blood song” is thrilling to experience.

I cannot tell you how much better you will feel about yourself when you begin to read or watch educational TV. You’ll be GROWING YOUR MIND. An awesome reward in itself.

I cannot tell you how much better your will feel when you make connection with the Source of All That Is. There are at least these three ways of doing so: prayer, meditation and practicing concentration. When you do one of these YOU’LL BE ON YOUR WAY TO COMPLETION as a human being. OMG! That’s awesome, dude.

Let just take concentration as an example. You know you need more concentration to get done the things you really want to. But the world, the home, the workplace is so full of distractions. Well, you can actually train your concentration to be better. Close your eyes. Get the picture of a single digit number, like 3, in your mind. Try to hold that image in your mind, to the exclusion of everything else for 2 to 3 minutes. At first you probably won’t be able to do it. That’s natural. But keep trying. Soon you will develop more ability. Then try a different object held in mind for 2 to 3 minutes.

What does all this have to do with the meaning of life? The meaning of life is to be happy. You contact your happiness within. Concentration will help you do that. When you make and keep contact with the Source, you will feel happier, I promise. But then part of expressing that happiness in your life is to develop yourself mentally and physically. Do you see? A pleasant, good cycle (as opposed to vicious cycle) will be revolving in your life. Spiritual tailing the physical, tailing the mental, tailing the spiritual, and so on .

Begin now. Don’t put yourself off the couch tomorrow what you can do today. Say it to yourself until it sinks in and becomes numbered among your atoms: I am a well-being-warrior.

One of my granddaughters has developed a unique self-style. Believe it or not, she even twice pierced her own lower lip. (I do not recommend this.) She wears heavy black makeup around her eyes in what she names as the “Emo” fashion. (A check on the Internet gives a number of websites dedicated to Emo.) She wears her hair in the sharp contrast of Emo as well.

My point is that everyone wants to be distinctive. She gets looks from most other people when she is at school or out at a restaurant with her grandparents. She comments that people are looking and that sometimes she likes that and sometimes she doesn’t like it. We say, as kindly as possible, “If you are going to dress like that, you’re going to get looks.”

But being distinctive is as old as humankind. What differentiates you from others? Are we unique unto ourselves or do you wholly conform to the group? So there have been tattoos, body piercings, headdress styles, clothing styles, the wearing of jewelry that comes in great variety from shells to diamonds, all through the recorded history of humankind. That one may stand out from the others.

Such differences among people have been lauded and worshiped or vilified and assassinated. Or something in between. We are want to be different enough to be ourselves. We all know, however, that physical appearance is no real indication of distinctiveness. We all realize, instinctively, that what we are comes from who we are on the inside. What we are on the inside makes us what we are on the outside.

“From being stirs doing.”

A key life phrase, then, is “Distinguish yourself.” Be who your are, for sure. But the sureness comes from inside. Someone starts a fashion and others follow, even if in their own individual ways. Let your outward expression be a refraction of your inward being. This is the only way to be true to yourself in the short and long term.

Refraction is defined as how light, sound, heat, or the like, passes through one medium into another. To make your unique contribution to the world, to distinguish yourself from all others, you must let the light of the Divine Consciousness pass through you and be seen in the substantial world. But to do that you need to know who you are on the inside. You do that through meditation and encountering who you really are in connection to the Divine Consciousness. Let me assure you that as the Light passes through your, others will see your uniqueness. Let me also assure that the Divine Consciousness does not dictate to you what the refraction will look like. You are totally free to be.

So, distinguish yourself. Be who you are singularly. Begin by finding out who you are inwardly. Then let the refraction of Divine Consciousness come through you and paint pictures of your individuality on the canvas of the world.
