**Centerpoint** Think of all of the things in you life as a circle. As you keep up with your life you tend to set one thing in the center. You may think not but pay attention. Eventually you get consumed by work, or something else and begin to focus mostly on that. This focus determines your reality. At times the centerpoint is work. Sometimes it is your wife or husband or children or family. It can be your dream car. It can be yourself.

A balanced life is impossible without the proper centerpoint though. What you focus on most affects all of the aspects of your circle. I would argue that the centerpoint determines the quality of the circle. So how do you accomplish this in a life that requires you to go to work and have a family and be a Jedi and eat and sleep and dream?

You pick the right Centerpoint.

Now this is my own opinion, and if you disagree than it is a perfect way for you to test it out. If your centerpoint is anything but Jesus christ, eventually you will lose. I don't mean that bad things will happen because they will, I mean if you pick any other centerpoint eventually you will regret it. And precious time and energy will have been wasted.

Prove me wrong by paying attention to your own natural center points and then create one of your own. Get focused on something and see how it changes your life. As the months roll by you will see how much you regret that one day. Maybe not because it ruined your life, but because your life could have been so much better.

In order to understand why I think the only perfect centerpoint If Jesus Christ you should come to me and we can talk about it. Why on earth would you appreciate Jesus when you do not know how he applies to your life.

Blow this key off if you choose. You are a knight. Your training has become your own, but be warned. You will suck the happiness out of your life until left with a hungry void. Then you will remember this and mourn your loss.

It is important to raise the quality of your life. In order to truely live you must learn walking meditation. The ability to close out your mind (all of the noise and thoughts that pop up unbidden) and truely exist in the moment.
 * Focus **

Meditation is about focus, and focus is the channeling of awareness. Awareness is what you and I call life. Animals have dim awareness. Only the sentient are capable of full awareness and the power to direct it. If you do not learn to dirct your awareness you will live at much lower capacity than normal. if you learn to focus and channel your awareness you will soar above the mighty.

Smell like it was the only thing in the world, breathe in the air, hear the noises and how they reverberate around you. Exist inside all senses at once.

I cannot describe this well enough at the present so I would direct you to a book called: __'The way of the Peaceful Warrior'__. It is not a complete philosophy of life, but it will help you understand a lot of things about the mind and Meditation in life.

Once you achieve Living meditation you will become truely powerful. The quality of your life will become greater than you can imagine.

That is the second Key.

If you have read the book and have questions I am open to help. I am still learing to always be focused. It may be a life lesson for me but it has increased the effectiveness and quality of my life by far.

The untrained, hunger for sensation, bordom signals their self destructive awareness like a tractor gone mad crashing around inside. I can feast on a single 'average' day.

**Happiness** No matter what you have, or where you are you cannot remain happy.

Until you learn how to be happy.

The first two keys teach you how to reach your greatest potentials and how to be free to be whatever you choose to be. Now you must learn happiness to free you from your last set of self-imposed chains.

Happiness is not any thing you have Happiness is not any place you are Happiness is not something people are Happiness is not something you can buy or get

Happiness is what you do.

You have to understand that no matter how hot that car is, once you get it you will always want more. There is always a new toy. You will get tired of it and though it made you smile and it was fun for a while, it will not make you happy. If you look to things for happiness you are just feeding the void inside. It will continue to hunger after one thing and then another, never fully satisfied, but desperate for even the little bits (this car, that rifle, that mirror, that ring or painting).

Happiness is not a place. Becoming a Gray master will not make you happy. That place of authority is not happiness though happiness is taught on the way. You will not be happy any real place in the world either. Hawaii is great, but life still happens. The rain comes to us all no matter where we are. Happiness is not a place.

People are not happy. People are filled with a void that hungers after things and places, even other people in the case of love (at least the obsessive love) which is too often a need and not a gift you give. If you need love, it is not pure love. If you need a person, it is not your real need. It is the void. It 'Needs' one thing after another but never seems to get full. Just tired trying.

Worse yet. You cannot buy, sell, trade, or find happiness.

This sounds depressing. Think about what I am saying. I have just told you that every past time, habit, and dream you have is pointless. No matter where you are, what you have, who your with, why your there, and how rich or smart you are. That does not garuntee happiness. It doesn't even help your chances at being happy most of the time.

Happiness is what you do, and I will leave it at that. I give you the third Key.

//Go forth with power and great goodness about you, for life is not the trophies you procure, but the struggle to put one foot in front of the other. For the right reasons.//
