The Four Turnings in Five Seconds

In keeping with the meme of various movies in 5 seconds (Lion King, The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded, Star Wars, Titanic, Lord of the Rings), below is a version of the Four Turnings that I tell myself when I wake up in the morning: before I turn on the lights, brush my teeth, or have a chance to read/say anything. Well, I try to remember to do this first thing in the morning. Some days are better than others.

The Four Turnings of the Mind in 5 seconds (without the comedy... sorry):

1. Wake up! Do you realize the incredibly rare opportunity you have? (Precious Human Life)
2. This chance could pass at any moment! (Impermanence)
3. Do you want this opportunity in the future? Then you must take advantage of it now! (Karma/Cause and Effect)
4. Without practice now, you will make no progress on the path to end the suffering of self and others! (Suffering)

This is just to jump-start the morning; I do the real thing once I'm actually conscious ;-)
