The Ten Commitments

Posted May 24, 2006 at 2:27 pm

I’m technically on leave this afternoon, so I’m gonna sneak in this quick at-work post before I leave to pick up my aunt at the airport. We’re off to a family reunion week on Friday, so posts will likely be sparse until I return June 4th.

I got an email ad for a book from the folks at The Chopra Foundation re their new book, The Ten Commitments, which you can see by this page are a riff off the ten commandments (e.g., “I commit to forgiveness” rather than “Thou shalt not kill”).

But of course as a Google-fiend, I did some searching and found a much more interesting set of commitments at a less well-known spirituality site:

1. Pursue the dream in your heart.

2. Create new ways to generate positive energy.

3. Know what you believe in & why.

4. Find your place thru choices you make.

5. Believe that you are all-ways more.

6. Nurture yourself as a friend in need.

7. Seek lessons of life hidden in every moment.

8. Know that your mind is the lifeblood of your future.

9. View confusion as a prelude to clarity.

10. Cherish the Earth, thankful for each breath you take.

I love these! In particular, number 2 has been really fundamental to my being on track (this is day four).

I hope you find them inspirational too.

    I do, I do, I do find them inspirational! I’m printing them and committing to them. As well as to the Four Agreements Lora Bora wrote about. Have a great reunion … will miss your posts!
