 Universal Principles
1. Ask for what you want, but don't demand it.
2. Accept whatever happens, for now.
3. Turn up your love, even if you don't get what you want.
Things to remember in order to get Life working better
1. When playing the game of Life, be a good sport.
2. This means that you stop frowning and feeling so serious about the soap opera
we call life.
3. Happiness does not come from what you don't have or from getting rid of what you do have. It comes from learning to be with and to work and play with the cast of characters you've brought into your life.
4. To accept whatever happens does not mean that you have to like what's happening or to stop trying to change what's happening or that you have to think that whatever happens is right.
5. Inner Surrender is not based on your feeling defeated, it comes from your own intelligent choice and is based on insight, not fear.
6. "For Now" means "For Now". Remember the second universal principle. When you apply the 3 principles you'll be surprised how often things will change and give you what you want without you forcing or manipulating them.
7. Don't be so sure. The more sure you are the more wrong you can be. Look how often the unexpected happens and yet we still never expect it.
8. If you have no purpose, how can you fail? The main object in life is to see what will happen next.
9. Love is not a matter of what happens in life, it is a matter of what is happening in your heart. It's just a feeling of togetherness and openness in your heart.
10. To be a skillful lover you must be able to keep your own heart open to another person no matter what is happening in the soap opera of your own life.
11. We can free ourselves from who we think we are so that the beautiful things we really are deep inside can come out to play with the other beautiful things around us.
12. Life goes by rapidly. Don't delay. Don't wait until you have some spare time. Happiness is a do-it-yourself game.
13. A miracle is something you would like to have happen that you didn't expect. Miracles are normal everyday events for some people.
14. It's easy to come and go. The hard thing is to remain.
15. Always welcome a crisis. It is usually much easier to deal with a crisis than with the day-to-day living.
