The world will automatically become a better place when each individual becomes a better person - and this book of thoughts, one for each day of the year, will show you how to become a better person day by day. For each day of the year you will find an inspiring quotation, a contemplation and ways to put those thoughts into practical action in your life.
All these thoughts are based on twelve core values: co-operation, freedom, happiness, honesty, humility, love, peace, respect, responsibility, simplicity, tolerance and unity. These are the values we all need to cultivate to become better individuals, but they are also fundamental to the well-being of humanity as a whole.
We might think of these founding values as providing the fertile ground in which we can plant seeds which are sure to bear fruit.
That fruit is the growth of eight powers within us: the power to withdraw, the power to pack up, the power to tolerate, the power to accommodate, the power of discernment, the power to judge, the power to face obstacles and the power to co-operate. As these powers develop, we begin to understand that we are much more than a physical body; we are a metaphysical energy that functions through our physical organs. And when we practise these eight powers every day, everyone benefits in the long-term because whatever actions we take impact on our surroundings and those around us.
This book will first open your eyes, making you aware of the twelve transformative values, and then it will help you to develop the eight personal powers, for only by practising them in your everyday life can you master them. Then you will have all the tools you need to hand to live a quality life and inspire others to do the same.
