“All you need is what you have”

“Life’s too short!”YOU
YOU stands for “You own you.” That means that although there is a divine and infinite source behind and throughout everything, you, and only you, are responsible for who, what, where, why, and how you are in this life. No matter what fate has dealt you, there is always a choice of how to respond. If you transfer your responsibilities to others, you will be a burdened by unsatisfactory outcomes. If you accept that you are the only one responsible for you in this lifetime, the sooner you can be free to be the change you visualize in this world. So, decide what you want, start doing something about it, and…

A.K.A. Do It Yourself
You have the ability to be and do anything. Learning is simply remembering something deep inside that you already know. And doing it is showing the world that you know it!
For example, examine how it is that you know two plus two equals four. This was not put into your head. You simply brought it out from your eternal wealth of knowledge; maybe even with the help of a teacher. Try to remember the feeling that occurs when you learn something. It doesn’t really feel new, but suddenly feels very familiar doesn’t it? Think carefully about the mental, physical, and spiritual breakthroughs you have had in your life, and you will discover that it’s really rediscovery. It’s déjà vu all over again - and again. So, whatever you want or need to do, go do it. And be sure to…
K.I.S.S.
This well known acronym stands for “keep it simple, stupid. We don’t really mean to single anyone out as stupid; it’s just the way it was written by whoever wrote it long ago. However, many things in life are too complicated. Anyone can complicate something, but it takes a real genius to simplify it. So, be a genius. Simplify your self, and simplify your life. And remember, that’s…
Simple, not easy.
That’s right. Simple, not easy. You will see this time and time again throughout our site, and all things EarthCoach. How many answers to your questions or problems are very simple, but not easy? That’s ok, though, because a big part of the game of life is mastery. Self mastery. That means you – not a company, not an elected official, not even us here at EarthCoach – are your master. You are! We are only here to shed light on the truth and help you find and master yourself. Your real self. Your best self. The rest is up to you. Simple, not easy, right? Now let’s get…

Food. Shelter. Water.

Enough said; it’s time to…
Use less, and live more.
You will learn how to get the most out of whatever you have if you apply yourself and spend your time well. Before you know it, you’ll find yourself getting deeper and deeper into the characteristics and capabilities of the things you own. By focusing on a single element at a time you’ll find out what it will do, but more importantly, how your action augments, modulates or negates its performance. If you use anything often enough in a state of awareness and mindfulness, you will end up doing things with it that will surprise and amaze you. This will improve your relationship to yourself, and therefore with the rest of the universe as well. And this will help you…
Live more and stress less.
If you want it all, and you want it now, you will live less and stress more. But if you really think about what makes you happy and are willing to live in the moment as you pursue it, than you may be surprised to learn that…
All you need is what you have.
Whatever problems you have, whatever situation you are in, look around. You are most likely surrounded by abundance even though you may not be able to see it yet. You may be surprised with what you can do with a high concept and low cost. Your circumstances bring out your character, not determine it, so bring out your best, and…
Do all you can with all you have, all the time
If you live this way, then no matter how any endeavor turns out, you will always know that you’ve done your best. And ultimately, you will have lived for your journey. You will have lived for “the eternal now” and that’s all that matters because…
“Life’s too short.”
