I work in the health and wellness industry and there is no doubt in my mind that we could benefit from this type of thinking when considering medical reform. So much of medicine focuses on a "one-size-fits-all" approach and I often wonder how much more effective our health care practitioners would be if the idea of "universality" was secondary to the idea of "variability."

My Doves
I have always loved this poem by Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888). Please take a moment out of your busy day to read it and if you're not too busy for happiness, please spend the rest of your lives giving voice to its message.
Optimal Living and the “Flow” Experience by Gregg Hake
I encourage you to put more and more of your everyday life in the flow channel. Regretting the past, dreading the future, casting aspersions on the world around you inevitably block the flow in you and through you. Be willing to lose yourself in everything you do today. Enjoy every morsel of it as you would your favorite cookie or fondest memory. Refrain from prequalifying what you have to do as being "good" or "bad" and instead focus on how you can leave the situation or conversation in better shape than you found it.
Living in “the Groove”
To be sure, life was not meant to be a monotonous experience. Rather than expecting the worse or dreading your lot, ask yourself "how can I most creatively handle this situation" and give yourself fully to the situation at hand. Pour yourself into it. Don't hold back.
