About the Site Designer: Shelly Durrell
It's only fair that you know a little bit about me and my background. Like you, I have had my share of ups and downs in my life, but through it all, I've ended up living a Great Life. I am one of those people who said "Someday I will write a book," and I did (Healing the Fisher King: Spiritual Lessons with Parzival, Gump, the Grail, and Star Wars). The book won five awards. I became a Kung Fu teacher (Sifu) in the Wah Lum Tam Tui Northern Praying Mantis System and also a teacher of Tai Chi and other Internal Martial Arts, teaching for over 24 years. I've organized shows, demonstrations, and seminars, allowing me to travel the world for these promotions. I've done rim-to-rim hikes of the Grand Canyon. A few years ago I moved to Vegas, allowing me to trek to Zion, Bryce, and the Grand Canyon a few times of the year. I continue to learn, grow, and seek out new adventures, which is my definition of a Great Life. I hope my website will help you enjoy your life and find your personal adventures.

All that is true, by whomsoever it has been said has its origin in the Spirit.

— Saint Thomas Aquinas —

What is true in your life will be shown in your Spirit. And what is true in your Spirit will show in your life.

For this exercise, you will be imagining the person you want to be beyond material trappings and everyday have-to-do actions. After completing the exercise, you can insert it into the Spirit section of your DYGL Binder if you are not writing about it in a separate journal.

Improving My Spirit Exercise

  1. My Ultimate Fantasy.
    Would you be someone who lights up the room when you walk in? Or someone who has given away all you have to help the poor? Maybe you would be someone who can shoulder the difficulties of others? Being strong in Spirit will allow you to extend that Spirit to others.
  2. My Closer to Reality Dream.
    Maybe you just need to be able to let go of the day's work problems when you go home so you can be a good parent to your children? Perhaps you've been yearning for time to go for long walks in a park to refresh your Spirit? Don't forget that any achievement in this area will spread to the rest of your life.
  3. What Part of My Dream Do I Have Now and How Did I Achieve It?
    Jot down even the smallest ways that enhance your Spirit, so that you can be mindful of them when the need arises. They may be in the form of reading, or listening to music, or expressing love to your family. They may be including Spiritual practices in various forms. All ways are important.
  4. Why Haven't I Achieved More of My Dream to Date?
    Do you let inconsequential things depress you? Are you in a bad situation that needs to be changed? It will be imperative to handle these to have a Great Life.
  5. Design Brainstorming.
    Make a list of people who inspire you so you can research them later. Draw sketches or collect pictures of surroundings that make you feel good. Put together inspirational sayings. This would be a truly inspirational scrapbook.
