What you accept as true, and act on as true, will be absolutely true for you. Be careful what you visualize, wish for and believe in. Believe you can achieve your dreams, and you will achieve them.

You have a right to be engaged in work that is enjoyable to you. No matter where you are at this moment, you can choose actions that will take you wherever you really want to go.

The start of something new brings the hope of something great. Anything is possible. There is only one you. And you will pass this way only once. Do it right. Dream big.

There are laws of prosperity and success at work in the universe. Being ignorant of those laws will not save us from the consequences of ignoring those laws.

Thought for the Moment

Mistakes and failures are some of the most valuable blessings in life. They put us back on the right course to high achievement.

Peaceful Stillness
Let yourself know the beauty of being completely at peace in this very moment. Calm your thoughts,quiet your mind,and breathe in the serenitythat is now.All is well and all is as it should be. Relax, and know the peaceful stillness as it fillsyou to the core.In the quiet serenity of now,there is no need to prove anything.Worry and strife are nothing more than distant illusions.With every slow and peaceful breath you take, something becomes abundantly clear. You know without a doubt that there is a real and valuable goodnessthat comes with every moment,every circumstance, every experience.In this moment, be at peace.Experience the calm, confident,positive power. Let yourself be at peace. And you will truly know how to make much more of it.

Thought for the Moment

Becoming secure and independent comes by taking responsibility for your own security. Independence requires planning, taking action, and making informed choices.

A Place of Potential Peace and Tranquility
"For me the appropriate metaphor for the inner spiritual centre is a garden, a place of potential peace and tranquility. This garden is a place where the Spirit of God comes to make self-disclosure, to share wisdom, to give affirmation or rebuke, to provide encouragement, and to give direction and guidance.
When this garden is in proper order, it is a quiet place, and there is an absence of busyness, of defiling noise, of confusion. The inner garden is a delicate place, and if not properly maintained it will be quickly overrun by intrusive under-growth.
God does not often walk in disordered gardens. And that is why inner gardens that are ignored are said to be empty."

LIFE

Life
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you downprobably will.
You will have your heart broken probably more than once, and it's harder every time.
You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.
You'll fight with your best friend.
You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.
You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love.
So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt,because every sixty seconds you spend upsetis a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
Don't be afraid that your life will end,be afraid that it will never begin.

Defining Success

SUCCESS IS THE CONTINUOUS JOURNEY
TOWARDS THE ACHIEVEMENT OF
PREDETERMINED, WORTHWHILE GOALS.

Since our lives are realities that go on and on, true success, the kind that doesn't crumble into dust the moment we get our hands on it, must be part of that continuous journey. Each goal you set, strive for and achieve is part of your overall goal of a balanced and happy life. Little Corinne, was totally out of balance by only having one goal. Bend your efforts toward achieving a successful life. Only you can define precisely what achieving a successful life means to you. But, if happiness has any place in your set of values, your successful life will probe many interests, experience many emotions, fill many needs, and accomplish many aims. I strongly recommend that you begin with goals for your health—physical fitness; wealth—financial security; mind—emotional stability (This includes continually learning and growing mentally.); and spiritual fulfillment for a good sense of balance.

Choose specific goals. Predetermine them far enough in advance of their deadlines to allow you to change and develop enough to reach them. Unless you do both these things, success will always be a stranger—or at best, a fickle, unfriendly, and infrequent visitor in your life.

Nothing that will give lasting satisfaction can be achieved unless the goals striven for are worthwhile . Discovering and moving toward what is truly worthwhile to you is the most challenging and rewarding task of your continuous journey through life. If you wish to be truly successful, accept this challenge. Think about it deeply. Then act on your conclusions.

Success isn't all of a sudden. Success is every day. Once you get near your current goals, start thinking about where you'll go after you get there. This is vital. And you can do it without diverting energy from nailing down the great success you're closing in on now. Before achieving that aim, rest your mind occasionally by speculating on what your next goals will be. Make a written list of your ideas. As you find free moments, collect your thoughts about your new goals. Gather information on them.

Prepare for the trauma of success. Unless you plunge into the pursuit of new goals, you'll get bored. You'll get depressed, and you'll start sliding downhill as soon as you lose the challenge of chasing your current goals. Witness the number of people who win celebrity and wealth in show business and then lose everything to alcohol or drugs.

Fortunately, a solid new goal is a sure cure. Don't leave your old goal without one.
