The Be's

23. Be of Excellence and Quality
I do not need a lot of Things. What I seek out is quality of things. I have bought something on sale or of lessor quality to save money. Only to find themselves spending more money and time in repairs of the junk and eventually buying the higher quality item any way. Because in the long term you would have saved money and more important time buy spending a little more on a quality piece. When I was in High School I owned two pair of Levis 501. I could have had several pairs of K Mart brand but I wanted the pair that fit. Made me feel good and look good. I am coffee snob. Why drink bad coffee. I use filtered water and love a good french press. Why? The flavor is smooth when done right. Same with craft beer, nice functional clothes and the car I drive. It fits my life style. I surround myself with like minded people. People I feel are of good charter and quality. People that bring me up make me a better person. I seek out excellence in music food books friends professional colleagues and experiences. Life is to short not to surround yourself with the best. If I can not afford it I go with what I can like two pairs of jeans. Not bulk of the cheep. Or I go with out and save so I can experience it. I learn how to do things myself. Enjoy what you have. It may not be a lot, but what I do have, I make sure it is the best.

25. Be in Balance
To be in balance or have balance is to be able to recognize when you are spending too much time or energy on one aspect of life and work to bring back other just as important aspects. Like If you are training for an Iron man. You may forget the Spiritual aspect of like or the mental because the focus ha been on physical. Keep in mind it takes focus on all three to strong and healthy. Take time to focus on the spiritual mental and physical aspect of life. It can be as an over all average at the end of the month equal time has been spent on each. It may not happen equally each day. You may get 1 out of three or two out of three each day but it is an over all cumulative experience at the end of the month.

My Chairman when I was a resident would get the CV of a person he was about to meet. Lean about one or two of their hobbies Google it and be ready to talk about what is important to that person. Also to be interesting it is good to be well rounded. Well studied in the arts and science and have an open mind. To be good communicator. To be open to new experiences.

28. Be Unattached
To be unattached is very difficult. Attachment can be debilitating. Even anxiety provoking to the point one can not function out of fear. Leading to incorrect choices or even acting in negative and even in self deprecating ways. Be unattached to out comes allows freedom for change. To grow! To admit when you are wrong. In what seems to be a frequent reality is what was expected was actually not as good as what came about with ones ability to let got and "Let God". Go with the flow. Change direction. Being unattached is pure freedom. If you love something set it free if comes back it were meant to be! Have the attitude all will work out. It might be painful or challenging. A tough go if you will. But the attitude it will all work out and I will be OK. Let go of perceived out comes is very healthy. It is a mature and disciplined position while at the same with practice becomes a place of ease and not disease. What I have leaned is that my perception of the out come is not even close to a far better out come when I let go of the attachments! It actually turned out better because I was will to go with the flow make changes and allow others to influence and play an active part! Open to change can be a good thing. This requires unattachment.
