Hi, I'm Deborah Mcmahon, and I'm on my way, taking a walk over to visit Neely Nathan, who is with Expert Village. We're going to have a conversation about how to create the life that you want. The way we're going to do this is by talking about my book which is "The Book of Universal Knowledge." The Book of Universal Knowledge is simply twenty-five principles that explain how you can create the life of your dreams, the life that you really desire, the life that's full of all the joy and love and creativity that you deserve. So let's start out talking about what the first principle is for The Book of Universal Knowledge. If you can get this principle, then you've got it, and your life will start to change immediately, and you can move on to the other twenty-four principles. Now this principle is not necessarily easy, but if you can really master it, it will really change your life. This principle is that life is perfect. This means that everything that happens to you is exactly what's supposed to happen to you, and that you can take anything that happens, and it's not good or bad, it's simply what is. And if you can derive the information, the lessons, and the message from that, then you can move forward and it will serve you so everything is perfect. So let's take an example of this by looking at this tree. This tree just is, it doesn't suffer, it doesn't toil, it's naturally fed from the earth, and it grows and blossoms, in all of its beauty and perfection, just the way it is. Its bark is different from every other tree, and it's perfect in that way. The tree will live and the tree will die, and that's all good. It will contribute to every person that walks by and it serves every single other living thing around it by it by its beauty and by the oxygen it gives off. So a tree is like each and every one of us and if we are willing to look at our life, as perfect as this tree, then we have a chance to change everything. We step away from any judgments, any limitations, any ideas that anything is outside of the perfect way it's supposed to be, which puts us in the realization and the consciousness that life is perfect. So think about it, rattle it around, think of what you would think isn't perfect, like death, or a situation that happens. If you look deeper, you see that the truth is that it serves you in some way, and that's why life is indeed perfect.
