I loved the sections on physical senses and love the best. I find those are ones in which I need to focus on more often. I think you have a great point in saying "love (not infatuation)" because I feel like most relationships die because they were just based on infatuation rather than true love. Love is acceptance, willing to die without thinking twice, only wanting the other one, etc. It transcends the physical, mental, and emotional realm and goes into "it just is because it is..." (Same realm as God in my opinion). Humans are a beautiful species because we are one of the few that has self awareness. It's funny to me because so many people act as if they haven't got a bit of luck or something to be happy about. This is obviously false. The fact that we are alive essentially means that we can change the world at any time...no matter how big or small. Articles like these (there are few) really get me to go back and reflect on why I do the things that I do. I sincerely enjoyed this article and seeing as to how it's 7:49am as I read this, started my day on the right foot!

Opening our hearts and being present in our lives really does reveal who we are and bestow a peace that cannot be attained elsewhere. If more people just took the time to stop rushing so much, stop trying to control and make things happen. If they could sit still and be with their own heart beat, their own breath, the world would be full of so much more joy. Love the Thoreau quote. never seen that one before. :) Kelly Truly inspirational post, Alex.

Each one of us has an untapped potential in some area. We all have a talent. Some of us know about it already. Others haven't yet realized it. Engaging in creative activities, whether it's cooking, writing, playing sports, raising children, drawing, singing, etc., enables us to find that untapped potential and, hopefully, maximize it. That is the ultimate pleasure. After I read through this list one more time, I think the items under the “power to create” are vital. Each one of us has an untapped potential in some area.
