Seven practices of being

1.
I will not live in illusion.
I will only pretend for fun.

2.
I will not live in disillusion.
I will look for the light.

3.
I will not demand respect.
I will live respectfully.

4.
I will speak the truth.
I will not deceive.

5.
I will seek to know.
I will retreat from judgement.

6.
I will listen even to the end.
I will live with silence before voice.

7.
I will always act with creative force.
I will not do that which requires no passion.
