Give yourself an Aztec life check!
Aztec codex image - marriage
Try this on yourself...
ASK: Do I give as much as I receive?
CHECK: What all do I take for granted? - life, family, friends, food, shelter, rain, school ...?
PROMISE: As I grow older I will strive to get my own life, and our world, into balance.
BE WARNED. This may mean giving something up - it's called 'making a sacrifice'!
