Life Skills - Happiness Social When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world: as I grew older and wiser I discovered the world would not change, so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change my country, but it too seemed immovable. As I grew into my twilight years in one last desperate attempt I settled for changing only my family, those closest to me. But alas they would have none of it! And now I realise as I lie on my deathbed, if I had only changed myself first, then by example I might have changed my family. From then, by example, I might have changed my friends.

From their aspirations and encouragement I would have then been able to better my country, and who knows, I might have even changed the world.

Why Nature?

In a vast sea of motivation and inspirational literature there is one foundational wisdom that both simplifies and solves the question: How do I keep myself inspired.

The Universal Laws of Nature have no owner and cannot even be manipulated. One can go outside whether in France, US, Australia or Singapore and there she is, same old nature. Nature embraces the conflict between human will and Universal Law, a sort of umbrella philosophy that explains, contextualises, everything.

1) Natural Law is a practical way to stay inspired.

2) Nature is a universal so, it’s not bound by borders, culture or politics.

3) Nature calms violence, ritualism and formalism.

4) Nature does not enjoin blind faith. Blind obedience to an external authority is seen as early consciousness, a phase of childhood.

5) Nature is a witnessing, rather than a belief system. A witnessing of reality and a celebration of it with hope and cheer. Though it affirms Karma, (cause and effect) it recognises the possibility of the modification of one's Karma (change cause - change effect). It does not lead to despair and defeatism.

6) Nature is both yin and yang. The Laws of Nature embrace both the need for free will and human emotional decisions and yet, balance this with the irrefutable final reality, that a universal law can never be overridden by even the strongest will of emotion or ego.

This conflict is seen as the essential nature of all evolution.

7) The role of the teacher in Nature's Law is to ask the student to step back away from their will, their emotion and their beliefs in order to simply witness the potential collision or collusion between what they think and what is universal law.
