This month I have been back hard at work on Geode Blockchain and all my tasks there as well as the rest of life with a renewed purpose after the ascendance of my father last month. I have been far more focused on the people in my life, and I have been sorting through the lessons. I want to share those lessons with you now. Feel free to share this with others if it may help…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. \n
    No matter how well you think you know someone, you never know all of the story. In fact, you probably know very little indeed.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \n
    Resolve your issues with people before it is too late to do so. Apologize for any hurt you may have caused and forgive yourself and them, even if they do not choose to forgive you.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  3. \n
    Be kind and generous to everyone you meet because you will depend on their kindness and generosity in the end. Make sure people are happy to see you arrive, instead of happy to see you go.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  4. \n
    Work on your psychological issues and shadow integration quickly and make it a priority. If you do not, that shadow and unresolved baggage will come out at the end and represent you and it will be last impression people will have of you.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  5. \n
    Don’t just forgive others, pardon them so that you do not carry their karmic record of that debt, which is recorded in you.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  6. \n
    Solve your health issues quickly as they arise, because they will arise and you need to be ready for the next one. Have a hard metric for what it means to be at 100 percent physically, mentally and emotionally and get back to 100 percent as fast as you can each time you get knocked down.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  7. \n
    Your health matters the most, then your relationships, then your purpose or work, in that order, and each one is exponentially more important than the next. Your support structure in life – the friends and family that will drop everything to be with you in the dark times – is critically important and worthy of your time and attention.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  8. \n
    Be careful who you wrong in this world as you have no idea who might be speaking at your funeral.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  9. \n
    Your experience with a person can be vastly different from someone else’s experience with that same person. The full truth of a person’s mark on this world is in the full set of experiences that all people have with them over their lifetime.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  10. \n
    GenX is now in charge (I don’t know whose idea this was). We are the grown ups in the room, tending to our parents and tending to the turnover of generations. It sucks, it’s hard, but we are ready, even if we don’t feel like we are ready.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  11. \n
    It is not just OK to receive, it is imperative to receive because your receiving of love, kindness, generosity, etc from the people who love you is good for the giver as well. It is a blessing in both directions.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  12. \n
    If you have the skills in energy work and consciousness work to assist a soul at the end of life, do it and do not let doubt delay you.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  13. \n
    Do not prolong someone’s suffering because of your own attachment to that person. Let them go, and let them know that it is OK to go, if that is their choice.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  14. \n
    Face grief with the same welcome as you would joy. Grief is the most complex and profound teacher I have encountered. Give yourself the grace, time and space to experience it fully. Don’t push it away, and do not push away the joy that comes after in building the next chapter of your life.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  15. \n
    No one who loves you would want to see you suffer so find your joy and live and let your joy honor their memory.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    <\/div>\n
    Peace and Light!<\/div>\n
