• 0:00
  Speaker: I see all good people.
• 0:02
  Speaker: Hopefully.
• 0:04
  Speaker: Isn't it much better to be positive than negative?
• 0:09
  Speaker: We've got a couple of questions I wrote down this morning for us.
• 0:14
  Speaker: The first question is: what is the value of one day?
• 0:20
  Speaker: What is the value of one of our days?
• 0:26
  Speaker: What we consider its worth?
• 0:28
  Speaker: When one determines this answer, then of one hour.
• 0:35
  Speaker: What is the value of one hour?
• 0:38
  Speaker: What is our worth?
• 0:41
  Speaker: Ponder.
• 0:43
  Speaker: Seeking improvement.
• 0:46
  Speaker: Growing richer in aspirations, virtuous goals.
• 0:54
  Speaker: I have another question.
• 0:57
  Speaker: What is the most important thing, Event, to occur in one's day.
• 1:08
  Speaker: We wake up.
• 1:12
  Speaker: Probably your answer, too.
• 1:16
  Speaker: Once you think about it.
• 1:18
  Speaker: Because before all other things, we need to be aware.
• 1:21
  Speaker: So we need to wake up.
• 1:23
  Speaker: Otherwise, we're not really here.
• 1:25
  Speaker: So it's simple enough, but when one thinks about this in this way, what is the most important thing to occur in one's day?
• 1:35
  Speaker: And you answer that question, we wake up.
• 1:39
  Speaker: Does this not change something inside?
• 1:44
  Speaker: A realization begins stirring our senses of awareness, of perception.
• 1:54
  Speaker: Then I asked another question, what is then the second most important thing to occur in one's day.
• 2:05
  Speaker: Let me say it again.
• 2:08
  Speaker: What is then after we have woken up, the second most important thing to occur in our day?
• 2:18
  Speaker: Again, in my opinion, "how" one wakes up.
• 2:25
  Speaker: How one wakes up?
• 2:33
  Speaker: On what level of awareness are we coming into creation from our slumber?
• 2:43
  Speaker: Positive, negative, indifferent?
• 2:46
  Speaker: Have we set our goals onto a piece of paper so we know what we want to accomplish today or tomorrow or next year or in our lives?
• 2:58
  Speaker: Do we have events that are most likely going to be occurring in this twenty-four-hour period where we can best be utilized and make accomplishments which bring us a sense of pleasure, a sense of reward, a sense of gratitude.
• 3:25
  Speaker: This is our aspiration, I know.
• 3:28
  Speaker: What is your worth?
• 3:31
  Speaker: What is the value of one's life?
• 3:35
  Speaker: Learning how to manage one's time is a thought I shared with myself the other day and wrote down.
• 3:47
  Speaker: Let me repeat, It's a good one.
• 3:50
  Speaker: I think it's important for all of us.
• 3:52
  Speaker: "Learning to manage one's time." This is what writing down our goals for the day is about.
• 3:58
  Speaker: Doing this.
• 4:00
  Speaker: Doing this.
• 4:01
  Speaker: As one breathes, do this.
• 4:04
  Speaker: And be understanding and kind and continue and keep working on improving this.
• 4:10
  Speaker: Have pads of paper around your living space and a pen or a pencil to write with.
• 4:18
  Speaker: Expressing oneself is important.
• 4:21
  Speaker: Remembering what one has expressed in the flowing essence of time is important.
• 4:28
  Speaker: Share, prosper, nourish ourselves, our beings.
• 4:33
  Speaker: The very air we are in.
• 4:38
  Speaker: Again, we are usually taking everything for granted or not being cognizant of the energy emanating from our own being, taken for granted out of a loss of sensitivity in the last thousands of years.
• 4:58
  Speaker: Being here, present, visualize, there is a saber-toothed tiger somewhere not so far away.
• 5:08
  Speaker: Do you think for one instant that those people weren't more aware?
• 5:14
  Speaker: Their eyes scanning constantly for danger to arrive, how they might respond in an attempt to save lives?
• 5:24
  Speaker: Do you not think this is so?
• 5:27
  Speaker: Do you take for granted the greatness and the length of time of evolutionary events, millions upon millions of years, even within the context of one's own self, one's DNA?
• 5:46
  Speaker: We easily take for granted our own beings every day.
• 5:53
  Speaker: What is the most important thing one can do?
• 5:57
  Speaker: Wake up.
• 5:59
  Speaker: And once woken, "how" and "what" we set out to accomplish these two together, writing them down for you.
• 6:11
  Speaker: Check them out.
• 6:13
  Speaker: Is this true?
• 6:14
  Speaker: The music's going to continue for another minute, please.
• 6:21
  Speaker: Ponder these things.
• 6:24
  Speaker: Because it is in the practice of one's own being, of one's own sense of awareness where we grow.
• 6:31
  Speaker: This is the nourishing part.
• 6:34
  Speaker: Practice is nourishing oneself.
• 6:36
  Speaker: It is not a responsibility, it is a goal to nourish oneself.
• 6:43
  Speaker: Remembering your majesties.
• 6:48
  Speaker: Whom you are, where you have come from, because we don't have these properties so visible today.
• 6:58
  Speaker: The saber-toothed tigers are long gone.
• 7:01
  Speaker: But we have other adversaries, perhaps even more potent, ourselves.
• 7:10
  Speaker: Practicing, seeking virtuosity is the reward mankind needs for survival, virtuosity, the tools we possess being much longer than the six-inch or eight-inch long saber-toothed tiger's longest teeth.
• 7:30
  Speaker: We need to educate our children to be aware, to be thankful, to be humble.
• 7:39
  Speaker: Just as we need to educate ourselves.
• 7:43
  Speaker: And we do this by remembering and reminding ourselves all through one's day.
• 7:50
  Speaker: It is not a simple five or ten or fifteen minute practice.
• 7:54
  Speaker: It is all day we live.
• 7:57
  Speaker: It is one's life.
• 8:00
  Speaker: The minute begins now. namaste
