Do It Now!

When was the last time you:

1. Honestly, openly and respectfully listened to someone who expressed a viewpoint very contrary to your own, on a topic very near and dear to you, and let them continue uninterrupted till they had their say, and not felt a burning need to rebut them;
2. Laughed so hard at a funny joke that you literally, or at the very least figuratively, fell to the ground in unrestrained release;
3. Told someone who didn't know it that you really admire them;
4. Listened to a piece of music that takes you to a place which bears an uncanny resemblance to what your vision of heaven looks like;
5. Truly forgave someone who had hurt you deeply, even if they did not necessarily acknowledge or apologize for the hurt they caused you, because your relationship with them was more important to you than demanding perfection of them;
6. Finally, finally! took care of some annoying but quite important chore that you had been procrastinating over, for days, or even possibly weeks, or even possibly months, or even possibly years;
7. Experienced the beauty and sweetness of another human being's soul so strongly that you wept;
8. Looked at yourself in the mirror, smiled at yourself, and realized that you are a wonderful human being;
9. Read a book so creative and innovative that it produced a tectonic shift in your mental landscape, and changed the very way you perceive reality;
10. Ate a delicious treat so creative and innovative that it produced a tectonic shift in your mental landscape, and changed the very way you perceive reality.
