Speech:
Living the Ten Basic Truths®
Mapping Your "Truths" Course:

"During the last ten years I have been on the radio I have had the opportunity to interview over 1000 guests: adventurers, professionals, gurus, scholars, spiritual leaders, philosophers, scientists, and writers. I have had the luxury of reading their books and asking them for advice. Sometimes I have been slow to learn and even slower to realize the wealth of their wise counsel. Often I have felt inadequate because I hoped to relay their messages better. My gift to you is another attempt to share with you in my own words just of few of the repeated, life-truths gleaned from these many honored guests:"

1.	The most influential tool we have is kindness: When we care first about the feelings of others, our lives our careers, and our friendships always run smoother. When we take the time to feel empathy and express concern for others, the rewards are boundless.
2.	We're all in this together. Humans, animals, the earth, all living things are one organism called Gaia: When we nurture our earth and other living creatures, we nurture ourselves. All things are unique and individual, yet everything is designed to be beautifully interdependent in the web of life..
3.	Each of us has an inimitable reason for being here: We should seek balance in nature, in relationships, in finances, in health, and in activity. We experience this truth all around us, from the serenity of a lake to the tempest of a storm, from misfortune to success, and from the tears of sadness to the tears of joy.
4.	Finding balance is a sacred practice: And if we don't pass the course the first time we will automatically be enrolled in a later class. .
5.	There is always a lesson in adversity: And if we don't pass the course the first time we will automatically be enrolled in a later class. .
6.	It is never too late to run away and join the circus: Old age is a mindset. It does not come with passing of years but with passing of opportunity. When we seek new answers to old questions we are young - we are architects of new ideas, inventors, and adventurers..
7.	Sometimes we have to go to the edge and jump: Nothing is gained by never taking risks, sometimes we need to just shut our eyes and jump, having faith that we will either learn how to fly or land on solid ground.
8.	There is more range of mobility when we are flexible: Like bamboo, we can be both strong and flexible. It is important to know when to bend with strong forces and gale winds so we don't snap, so we'll survive and spring back to our previous strength and stature.
9.	Life is a boomerang: What we send out always comes back, so we need to aim carefully otherwise it may return to knock some sense into our heads.
10.	There is always someone with you: Guardian angels come in all forms; some, our friends, we see in front of us; others, less visible, are always by our side.
