The more love we give, the more we will receive; Love will expand and grow, it will heal and cure. Love is to accept the true nature and understand that we all can be weak and it is perfectly natural to be so. And we all feel overwhelmed and we all feel like doubting ourselves….
Success or failure depends more upon attitude than upon capacity. Successful men act as though they have accomplished or are enjoying something. Soon it becomes a reality. Act, look, feel successful, conduct yourself accordingly, and you will be amazed at the positive results. ~~ Dupree Jordan ~ Your thoughts are your plan, and your feelings…
The Truth makes me free from the fear of poverty or bondage, and emancipates me from the thought of limitation. ~ The Science of Mind. ~ Spiritual truth does not require belief in a specific religion or even deity because it is innate and instinctual.

It’s being here now that’s important. There’s no past and there’s no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can’t relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don’t know if there is one. ~~ George…
I am ready to live from a higher place. Being calm and relaxed energizes my whole being. All the muscles in my body are releasing and relaxing. All negativity and stress are evaporating from my body and my mind. I breath in relaxation. I breath out stress. Even when there is chaos around me, I…
Father/Mother/God: I retreat from the noise that is all around me and enter the silence of meditation. Quiet my restless and wandering thoughts. Speak to me in the sweet stillness of Your love.

Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it. ~~ Groucho Marx…
Angels come to help and guide us in as many guises as there are people who need their assistance. Sometimes we see their ethereal, heavenly shadow, bright with light and radiance. Sometimes we only feel their nearness or hear their whisper. And sometimes they look no different from ourselves. ~~ Eileen Elias Freeman ~ Angels…

A day without laughter is a day wasted. ~~ Charlie Chaplin ~ Laughter Cures. If you want to be healthy, you gotta laugh. Life gives us so very much that is fun and funny, even absurd. That is the beauty of it. If you keep that attitude about you, you add the power of adding…
A verse from the Veda says, “What you see, you become.” In other words, just the experience of perceiving the world makes you what you are. This is a quite literal statement. What you see you become. What you see is a selective act of attention and interpretation. Although you are inundated by billions of…
When we’re truly honest with ourselves, our problem is not that opportunities for success haven’t appeared. God is always expanding our possibilities. We are given plenty of opportunities, but we tend to undermine them. Our conflicted energies sabotage everything. To ask for another relationship or another job is not particularly helpful if we’re going to…

Life is a journey, not the destination. It is the mixture of everything. It is happiness and sadness, success and failure, comfort and pain, opportunities and frustrations, love and hatred. It is not perfect. If you go through life without and obstacles, you would not get to appreciate the joy. Life is a journey of…
That’s my gift. I let that negativity roll off me like water off a duck’s back. If it’s not positive, I didn’t hear it. If you can overcome that, fights are easy. ~ George Foreman Negative thinking isn’t healthy and it isn’t productive. Most of the time, it isn’t even necessary. When a negative thought…
God doesn’t love anyone over anyone else. There is no atom in the universe more blessed than any other. No one has more potential for greatness than anyone else. The ultimate success of your career will not be determined by credentials, backing, or marketing techniques. It will be determined by your ability to access the…
However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them? ~ Siddhartha Gautama ~ There are so many promises given to us in the Bible. These promises reassure us and bring comfort to our lives in our times of trial. If…
It doesn’t matter how many times you fail. It doesn’t matter how many times you almost get it right. No one is going to know or care about your failures, and neither should you. All you have to do is learn from them and those around you because all that matters is that you get…

Bad things happen to good people. Good things happen to bad people. Yes, there is injustice in the world, and there is cruelty in the world. But the bottom line is: We will sow what we reap, and Karma is alive and well. Most of the time, as we treat others, so shall we be…
Joy is always lurking around the edges, seeking a way to escape the narrow confines of the worry- burdened heart. All it wants to do is take up residence in the sparkle of your eyes. Let go! And laugh! Joy is always waiting to take you in its arms. ~ Donna Miesbach ~ When a person…
