I know I said I was going to wait until next week — but there are certain people I want to tag, before someone else gets to their brilliant minds first. So here is Shelly’s, 8 Things I know meme, started by Damien at Riley Central.
- If you can’t decide — you don’t have the answer yet. Sit still until the answer comes.
- You can have anything you desire, if you operate from a state of being instead of having.
- The only thing we need to motivate us is passion. If we have that, no one needs to tell us what the right thing to do is — we’ll know.
- A ten-minute power nap in the afternoon is essential.
- You can do anything for 15 minutes. Break things down into 15 minute chunks. Stop when the time is up.
- Everything always comes out in the wash — only metaphysically speaking. The truth always comes out.
- Always pour boiling water over the tea leaves.
- If you want to know where you’ll be tomorrow — look at what you’re doing today.
So, to tag, I choose:
Tell us the 8 things you know, and tag 8 more people.

Well, I knew you were smart, and that’s why I tagged you! I loved them all, but #3 speaks to me most. Passion is so essential in anything you do. Great list SusieJ
Wow, your list is great. I’ve been trying to think about 8 things I know…I’m about seven short right now!! Thanks for tagging me!
Does the power nap count if you do it at work during a power point presentation on Harzardous Waste?
The truth always does come out…I love how we can mean the same thing, but use different words to express ourselves.
More food for thought, thanks for your 8.
Your #6 is so true. I always have believed that whatever is hidden will always be revealed – in time.
Oh, boy. This is a tough one. Thanks for the tag…I think.
(I like #5.)
Great list. I love #1. So hard to do, but so true!
Your wish is my command. My post is up.
This was soooo helpful!
Especially as I decide whether or not to leave the job I’ve had for ten years now for a new job that is very much what I’d LOVE to be doing!
I like your 15 minute rule and of course boiling water on tea leaves as if there should ever be anothe way…lol!
I agree about the naps. Napping has saved my life now that I am in my forties.
I love #1. Very Tao….it’s really so hard to be still, and not react in the moment. This is the discipline that I strive to master.
Thanks for the assignment, it’s fun. I like your list, especially the tea item.
1. It’s all about Family – and you get to choose your Family
2. The camera doesn’t lie, but it doesn’t tell the truth either
3. Can’t decide? Go for the one that makes your heart beat faster
4. The time to leave a job is when it has no more to teach you
5. It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye (Antoine de Saint-Exupery)
6. You’re only as good a driver (or ______) as you are at this moment
7. Compassion exercise: imagine yourself in the place of the one who is suffering
8. The Universe experiences itself through you
Not sure who to tag with this meme, but instead of eight people I’ll go for just two for now, my old friend Ruben at slouching toward lumbini… and the enigmatic Marcus at BigBlackCat
