The Five Invitations by book author Frank Ostaseski:

1. Don’t Wait – Live fully now; don’t postpone what truly matters.
2. Welcome Everything, Push Away Nothing – Embrace all experiences, even the difficult ones.
3. Bring Your Whole Self to the Experience – Show up with authenticity, vulnerability, and presence.
4. Find a Place of Rest in the Middle of Things – Cultivate inner stillness even amid chaos.
5. Cultivate ‘Don’t Know Mind’ – Approach life with curiosity, openness, and a willingness to learn.

Each of these five invitations offers a powerful way to live with deeper purpose, awareness, and peace.

Affirmations for each of The Five Invitations to help embody their wisdom in daily life:

1. Don’t Wait – I embrace the present moment with gratitude. I choose to live fully now.

2. Welcome Everything, Push Away Nothing – I open my heart to all of life’s experiences. I trust that every moment has something to teach me.

3. Bring Your Whole Self to the Experience – I show up with authenticity and courage. My presence is enough.

4. Find a Place of Rest in the Middle of Things – I carry peace within me, even in the midst of uncertainty. Stillness is always available to me.

5. Cultivate ‘Don’t Know Mind’ – I release the need for certainty and embrace the wisdom of the unknown. I meet life with curiosity and openness.
