Here at the UV Moo Institute of Higher Understanding, we are firm in our conviction that "Eating It Raw and Eating It In The Raw" frequently and whenever the opportunity presents itself, is always the best course of action and will usher in many fun and delightful days.
We are conveniently located somewhere in Southeastern Florida near many grains of sand and coral reefs. The eclectic diversity of nutritional choices and creatures often make for interesting if not stimulating days.
And now I wish to share with you a bit of wisdom, given to me by an internationally famous chef who shall remain nameless.
12 Steps for Thriving Through Chaos
1. Deal with things straight away. Protect and store your assets so they don't become waste.
2. Omit the stuff that no longer has purpose in the flavor of your life.
3. Eliminate things that are beyond their shelf life. This takes constant evaluation, assessment and discernment.
4. Inventory what you have that's still viable and protect it. Use what needs to be used now; combine the more vulnerable pieces with stronger life-sustaining things. Be nourished by them; be thankful for the blessing that you have the stamina and creativity to keep going. Use this to set a pace for your life.
5. Trust your instincts. Sometimes the best step is into the void.
6. Ask for help.
7. Go, even though you don't know exactly where or why.
8. Cry. It makes room for love to come in.
9. Fearlessly experiment. Add a little of this and some of that. Constantly expand your repertoire.
10. Get out of your own way. See to understand others AND yourself. And when you don't, repeat step 5.
11. Believe that this too shall pass. Your only responsibility is to live, not in isolation, but in the connective tissue that is humanness.
12. Listen, learn, accept, evolve.
