Chinita- "you must eat everything by three thirty"

Short short headlines from the conversation of Friday June 17th 2005

The Desai retreat in the south of France

The getting to know oneself- how it is not something which you can do closed in the caves of the himalayas- you interact with other people and things and it is by using those interactions that you know yourself
One can only get to know others and understand if there are fundamental things if one first gets to know himself.

Cleansing- why is it not done on a daily basis just like cleaning your hands and face: because it is not visible like the hands and face are

Diferent parts to each persons` personality- how one needs to give attention to all of these.
Small steps- baby steps. Short-term, mid-term, long-term goals.
The short-term goals are things you can do in 5 minutes or even less. That phone call so easy to make from the office but you will only do it if you have thought beforehand about its importance in a bigger plan- the mid- and long-term goals.

Motivation- the waterfall conversation, how to use inspiration, how to give it continuity. Inspiration will go away if one does not ceize an inspired moment and use it in their daily life. Also, if one does not use those inspired moments then they will become more insensitive and it will take more to "touch"/inspire someone.
To use that inspiration one must introduce it into everyday life events (talking with people) and into taking new steps.
