5 things

This weekend, I reconnected with a friend who somehow slipped through the cracks. A friend who I adore but have lost touch with until recently - how great!

Anyways we talked about the concept of 5 things - A new one for me. The theory goes that you can only be good at a maximum of 5 things at a time. As soon as we get carried away and try to do more than 5 things really well - the other things suffer and we start spreading our talents too thin.

This concept inspired my friend to really think about his 5 things and embarked on a 6 month sex-fast where he worked on becoming a better human being. It's experiences like this that make us realize how much control we actually have over our own happiness. Right after this intense period of focus - he fell in love for the first time in his life - beautiful right?

I think my 5 things would be: to be a loving friend, to be a supportive family member, to be an independent thinker, to share my creativity generously, and to constantly explore my capacity for spirituality.

What are your 5 things?
