If you think about the article, it really is what we all know inside our hearts & souls, but because of our hectic, fast pased lifestyles we tend not to listen to our hearts and souls anymore. we let our ego's run our lives. In the world there are only a very few people i.e. The Dali Lama, Nelson Mandela, etc... who we as a general public actually sit up and listen to. It takes a very special person to ignite this kind of passion in the world wide community. Thank-you...

Will make these principles part of my life. Felt good just reading this. I especially like the one which says let the love for your loved ones exceed the need for them.
Probably should read this first thing every morning |

I've read these and understand and agree with all of them except #5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
Can someone explain this one to me? |

I am not a religious man but I believe you can learn something positive from many places. Karma or the law of attraction I've found is very real. I recently had an experience that made me very angry. I found that when you react with compassion wonderful things can happen. These are 20 great ideas to better karma!
