Personal Constitution (My personal)

The Constitution of Eric

I keep brave men of integrity in front of me at all times.

•         Historical examples: Buddha, Sitting Bull, Jesus, Crazy Horse, George Washington, Socrates

•         Fictional legends: John Dunbar, Hawkeye, Tristan, John Galt and Forrest Gump

•         Literary inspirations: Eckhart Tolle, Miguel Ruiz, Saul Williams, Buddy Wakefield, Tom Robbins

I live according to my values.

•         I understand that lasting happiness is unlikely without this ability.

•         I understand that any joy is diminished when experiences must pass through a personal filter that is clogged with guilt, regret and/or self-doubt.

•         I understand that a clear conscience is a gift that magnifies all others and gives me the self-confidence to qualify for more.  

I speak the truth.

•         I pause before I speak for as long as I need in uncomfortable situations.

•         I use the words I must use to qualify my answers.

•         I use words my audience can understand to communicate as effectively as possible the truth.

•         If I cannot speak the truth, I do not speak. In these instances, I communicate this to my audience.

I understand that everything has a vibration.

•         Every act

•         Every thought

•         Every word

…either is in accordance with my Higher Self or it is not. 

Teachers Can Only Teach What They Know. I apply this concept in two ways: 

•         Me As Teacher: I do not speak as a knowledgeable person about what I do not know. I qualify my knowledge.

•         Me As Student: I do not seek to learn what men cannot teach me. “By their fruits ye shall know them.” I learn all I can from all who are qualified to teach the subjects in which they are expert.

I have fixed my destination. All that remains is to follow the map.

•         Proper education

•         Proper values

•         Faith and flexibility within the framework

I understand that my eyes may lead my heart; I work so that my heart leads my eyes. 

•         Meditation, Red Road, inspirational media, time in nature and good company help in this regard.

I do the small things.

•         I balance my checkbook and make monthly financial investments. 

•         I meditate daily and pray regularly. 

•         I doodle, sit, read, daydream.

•         I work every day on my big dream. 

•         I am on time.

I bring light.

•         Wherever there is darkness, anger, pain, hatred, misunderstanding, I bring my gifts to help with the dissolution of the cause of the suffering.

I take care of my body.

•         I get proper sleep

•         I eat the right foods in the right amount

•         I keep my guts healthy; vitamins, men’ health, lots of water, regular doctor and dentist visits, etc.

•         I brush, floss, moisturize and smile regularly

•         I exercise regularly

I practice gratitude daily.

•         My happiness is not tied to my circumstances, ever.

•         It can always get more challenging!
