Law Number 1
Life is built on opposites: no up without down,
no black without white, no inside without outside,
but most importantly, no joy without pain.
To feel enormous, transcendental, spirit-soaring joy you have to risk heart-stopping soul-shattering pain. The higher you climb, the farther you have to fall….but the extraordinary view from the top will always cushion your landing. Risk it.
There are only 2 things that people truly want from each other—to be loved and to be heard.
For love, see Law #1. For the other, be still. Listen to people with your ears, your eyes, and your heart.
Hear what they say with words and without. It is the one true gift you can give the people you love.
Law Number 3
They say time is money; time moves too fast;
there isn’t enough time. But you have all the time in the world. Go slow. There’s no hurry.
You’ll get there soon enough.
Law Number 4
Shakespeare said, all the worlds a stage, and we are merely players. You’ll live through your comedy and your tragedy. You’ll have your share of triumph and failure. To make it through both, with your dignity intact, learn to treat all the events that come to you, good or otherwise, as a comedy and laugh at yourself.
We each have two voices: the voice of our heart and the voice of our head. Your head-voice speaks loud and clear. You have to be still to hear the soft, small voice of your heart. Find a way to hear and trust that quiet advice. It won’t steer you wrong.
Law Number 6
It’s a big world and more and more we find ourselves isolated and alone. Find a way to touch people. Hold hands, lay your hand on a shoulder, put your arms around a friend. Share yourself.
And then, wash possible!

Who is the mysterious 'Dani Lama'?
Da WWWiz is afraid to find out!
I am a little confused by Law # 6...first of all are we ever really alone?? You know exactly what I mean. Secondly does putting your hands arounds someone's neck and squeezing constitute reaching out and touching someone? Just wondering.
