I am currently reading a book by Deepak Chopra called Life After Death: The Burden of Proof. In this book he has a list of The Powers You Need to successfully navigate “the other side”. The reason I’m sharing his list with all of you is that I think this is a list that can be used in this life (in the here and now) to survive life’s emotional ups and down.. Here’s the list:

The Powers That You Need

• Self-awareness: The Power to know yourself. This power keeps you centered.
• Willingness: The power to open your mind. This power allows reality to be seen despite old conditioning and beliefs.
• Intention: The power to manifest desires. This power connects you with your purpose.
• Discrimination:The power to make fine distinctions. This power guides you in the subtleties of understanding.
• Acceptance: The power of nonresistance. This power enables you to integrate reality into yourself.
