Key Take Outs

• Find your dharma. The path of righteousness. How does this relate to you? I believe the true essence of life, at least at this point, is about finding our dharma, what is our true path, cause or purpose. Through the universal laws of how best to live this life we will be better able to find our dharma.
• Ayurveda body types: Vata (Winter, air and either), Pitta (Summer, fire and water) and Kapha (Spring, earth and water). Do your personal research to create better understanding. Use the quiz that Keith recommends at dharmaparenting.com and discover your body type. You may create greater awareness of how you react to life and therefore be better able to create greater harmony. This will allow you to life more greatly towards your full potential with purpose.
• Give attention and become conscious. I like the thought on the need for giving attention to a child. I like the thought that we all need attention and depending on our body type this will vary. But ultimately if we can be more attentive, which can be created through greater awareness, perhaps we will make greater decisions and choices that will allow us to live more fully.
• Spiritual awareness and outer joy. This is another interesting perspective and refreshing thought on success and what it means. Most of us, at least in the west, chase possessions and money however without ever achieving great spiritual awareness. You can have both but a life without spiritual awareness will never be fully lived.
• Prevention is the best method. Why we are not taught this is beyond me. Maybe a part of life is about figuring this out through experience. It is harder to reverse something that could have been prevented in the first place. Work now to prevent what you don’t want to be in life later on.

Quote

“No thy self” Socrates

Do we all have a why?What does living life with passion and purpose mean?

Yes. The question of why we are here and what is my purpose and the meaning of this life. It is the full development of every quality within us. It’s about taken the journey and figuring out how to unfold and get to it.
