How to Be Ready for the World of 2012

1. Take time every day for meditation. Use that time to become grounded and to get in touch with your quiet self. Take a memory of that feeling with you throughout your day.
2. If you are curious about spiritual matters, this is a good time to explore them. Find the things that bring you peace and concentrate on them in your life. Read books that explore these topics. Join discussion groups, too, either online or in person.
3. Take time every day to focus your attention on the things that are bigger than personality, both your own and the world. Let go of your attachment to the drama we all live with. Get a sense of yourself as more than just that, because you are more than that.
4. There's a lot to be said for random acts of kindness. Try to do them quietly and anonymously, if possible. If someone asks how they can pay it back, tell them to pay it forward to someone else, anonymously if they can.
5. Leave room in your life for miracles. All of life is cause and effect. Miracles are just effects where you can't discern the cause. The more open you are to them, the more you'll notice them.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't insist on figuring everything out. You must make most decisions in life with insufficient information. It's OK. That's just the way life works.
• Smile at strangers. You never know if that might be the best part of their day.
• When you have a choice, choose love and let go of fear.
• If you notice yourself getting anxious and upset, know that it's probably just growing pains. Anxiety is half fear and half excitement, so concentrate on the excitement.
• Don't take other people personally. They are dealing with their own lives; it's probably just an accident that you're there while they're dealing with something.
