| Four Great Blessings |
 |
| Longevity |
"Chinese thought reveals that each of us is endowed with Five Great Blessings: Happiness, Health, Virtue, Peace, and Longevity. Spend today bringing happiness to yourself and your friends and family; tomorrow, eat especially healthily; the next day, be true to yourself - if something makes you unhappy, try something else. The day after, spend time in quite contemplation and the outer chatter of the world will pass you by. The fifth great blessing, longevity, comes from wealth in the others."
Take a few minutes out of your busy day and allow yourself to become lost in your imagination; at lunchtime, in the bathroom, before you go into a meeting (or possibly even in the meeting - just don't get caught). Sit down and be inspired by the symbols of the Four Great Blessings and Longevity. Look at them every moment you get a chance. The more you practice, the easier it becomes to relax. Or sit down at night before you go to sleep...
