    About this ebook

    45 Ways to Excellent Life – simple actions you can take on a daily basis to become joy-filled, peaceful, more mindful – and just plain happier. 

    A great book if you've wanted to begin meditating but don't quite know where to start, as well as inspiration for your practice if you've meditated for years. 

    Excerpts:
    Claiming a Goal
    Napoleon Hill said, "A goal is a dream with a deadline." 

    Now is the time to give your dream a deadline, give it life. Little goals make big changes. Big goals are transformative.

    Goals you've not acted upon but that still lay nested quietly, hopefully, in your heart are your gifts to yourself, and potential gifts to the world. Step out bravely. Sometimes the greatest act of bravery is facing one's self.

    The Mystery Shop
    Walk into a shop you've never entered. Buy yourself something that captures your fancy, that typically you'd never buy. Don't over-think it! Enjoy the mystery and the unknown when pushing the envelope of your routine.

    What intrigued you about the shop? What drew you to the object you bought? What did it feel like to go somewhere you've never been? 

    It's wise to enter the unknown on occasion, and to remember the thrill of learning.

    "45 Ways is a great guide for a fulfilling life – it addresses a wide range of opportunities for personal growth ... Valuable and enjoyable!"
    Joseph Edge

    Beautifully illustrated.

      The Human Hand

      Every moment is full of wonder—for instance, have you ever been taken with how phenomenal an object is the human hand?

      The human hand, wonderfully fashioned of twenty-seven bones, and over twenty joints, makes more than one-thousand different movements every day, movements which involve the use of thirty-three muscles, from the forearm into the tips of each finger.

      The large muscles in the forearm travel to the fingers through the beautiful, bracelet-like bone structure in the wrist called the carpal tunnel.

      In a talk given by Madeline L’Engle, author of A Wrinkle in Time, she noted that medical science has discovered that in the soft pads of one’s fingertips there is gray cell matter, of the same type that is found in the brain.

      She observed that this made excellent sense to her as our fingers are very intelligent. They can read braille, can distinguish the minute shape, texture and substance of things, sight unseen. Our fingers are incredible feeling devices.

      The hand is the cutting edge of the mind.

      Jacob Bronowski

      Spend time contemplating your hands, appreciating how much they contribute to making life more full and interesting.

      Think about all the ways hands contribute to life. Consider all that exists and all that we do because of our hands.

      The hand has the richest articulation of space.

      Eduardo Chilida

      What are the most wonderful, amazing things that you do with your hands?

      What is some amazing thing you could do with your hands that you haven’t yet? ... sculpt, paint, play an instrument, make tools, build something, cook, climb a tree, write a novel, write a poem, care for an injured creature ...
