If you want to do your breathing and relaxation practices when it is quiet, then wake up early before other people start their day.

Your passions are the things that you know in your heart that every one ought to experience. The feeling inside your heart when you find humanity without them, where it drives you to act, inspire and serve them to achieve it themselves is compassion. Compassion is passion’s companion.

Action is everything. Action is the difference between trying and not trying, so at least do something. Action is the nature of this universe, it’s physics and our responsibility to the world. Compaction takes your values and beliefs, distills them to their most simple and essential form. It is the crucible that takes you from undecided to emboldened to not only believe but also to act with complete conviction. Compaction is actions companion. Compaction illuminates your core beliefs so what you share is true. So now emboldened by your heart and your conscience.

Then wake up one hour earlier.

Then go to sleep earlier.

Fearless is a great equalizer. It keeps its recipient humble. It draws her back to humanity of which we are all members. The fearless still fears but she fears less. The outcome is surprising: the fearless become emboldened and that is surprising and inspiring.

The emboldened do what they believe is right in the face of all obstacles. Simple but not simplistic she acts from her heart and her conscience without compromise. No matter the gender, race, religion, country or origin or political party (and the list goes on), fearlessness and the emboldened conscience unite us all no matter what we face. We are in it together. Hear, hear!

Here is how my friends are emboldening you to get your happiness back ASAP.

I’m getting it back, too, so you won’t be alone if you are also trying.

From Mitochondria May Be the Missing Link in Understanding Stress Response

a pioneering study, recently published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggests that mitochondria—the tiny energy centers inside our cells, which convert food into ATP, the crucial molecule that stores the energy humans need to do pretty much everything—may play a more significant role in the stress responses of mammals than previously understood, and even in understanding psychiatric and neurologic diseases.

The Center for Mitochondrial and Epigenomic Medicine is spectacular.
