Enjoy Life A PHILOSOPHY FOR LIVING Life is short – so ENJOY LIFE FULLY! • Play and dream more • Be free of rules • Forgive quickly  • Kiss often and slowly • Love fully • Smile more • Laugh uncontrollably!  • Never regret anything that brings happiness and JOY! • Allow life to be fun!  • Remember: I'm in charge of my happiness • Life is a gift – be grateful! Dr. McCarter helps sponsor occasional "EnjoyLife Events." These events are designed to help participants experience more enjoyment in their personal lives, their relationships with others personally and in their workplace. The basic belief for these events is that life is too short not to be enjoying ourselves, and the belief that regardless of what is happening enjoying life is a choice we make. Purpose: Our purpose is to connect with and support each other in our conscious decisions to enjoy life as fully as possible. We come together with open minds and a willingness to have fun and share in playful, enjoyable activities; to be supportive to each other and to help with the challenges in our own personal dramas – (not the problems of the world or of others). Events include such things as "Fire Circle" sessions; "Happy Dream" sessions based on the book, Disappearance of the Universe; "7 Paths to Enjoying Life" sessions; "You Can be Enjoying Work!" and EnjoyLife weekend retreats. Fire Circle sessions are held once a month at 6:30 pm. For more information on these events contact Dr. McCarter at ExcelSOURCES in Metro Greensboro, North Carolina at 336-423-9005 or email: ExcelRus@triad.rr.com "I've always wanted more. I'm not saying that in a greedy way, but I just want everything that life has to offer. I told myself a long time ago. 'I'm never going to have another bad day.' And corny as it sounds I haven't." – Danelle Fotta, Playboy, April 1995 "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass; it's about learning to dance in the rain." – Vivian Green, Singer/Songwriter Our lives typically are not the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well sing and dance. WE ARE HERE TO SING AND DANCE Who cares if we know how to dance – just get up and dance; Who cares if it's a pretty dance; Move into the belly of the sensual dance; Seize the moment – let your body move. Sing your own "I-need-to-be-me" song. Be your own free flowing hair in the wind dance  – stripped of all pretenses; free to be your naked self dance. Shout with joy and dance; Take giant leaps and swirls dance; Everyone is welcomed in this loving dance; As Beings-in-the-Light sing, dance and play; Celebrate, sing and joyously dance. – Rus McCarter, 2008 with thanks to Jewel Mathieson  and her "We Have Come to Be Danced," for inspiring parts of the above content. If there were absolutely NOTHING to fear, how different would life be? DOING SOMETHING IMPORTANT We're conditioned to think our lives are built upon great events. But important events may catch us off guard because they are especially wrapped in what most people might consider unimportant. But, when you do something that makes the world more compassionate and kinder, that's a great event. THE DIVINE LIGHT PRAYER I release my past, present and future to the Light. I remember that I am Light and Light radiates from my Light center. I radiate Light to everyone and I am one with everyone. I radiate Light from my Light center to everything. I thank my Divine Source for my self, everyone, everything, and all my relations. So it is – let it be so. HAPPY DREAM BLESSING the Happy Dream is the path to enjoying life May you trust the path unfolding before you, Trust your Inner Light Right Mind to guide you on your way. Accept that you are doing exactly what you came here to do, and Chose everyone in your drama for your growth. Be gentle with yourself; accept yourself and others without judgments. May you experience life and what-is as beautiful. Love like it is the most wonderful thing you can do. May you be blessed with inner freedom, joy,  ecstatic laughter, spirited song and dance. May you enjoy life and experience abundant love  and peace until we meet again. A Public Service Announcement for reclaiming democracy for the people of N.C.
