Your living is determined
not so much by what life brings to you
as by the attitude you bring to life;
not so much by what happens to you
as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.
It turns what we have into enough, and more.
It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.
It can turn a meal into a feast,
a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today,
and creates a vision for tomorrow.

Melody Beattie

Don't think.
Thinking is the enemy of creativity.
It's self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy.
You can't try to do things.
You simply must do things.

You are given the gift of the gods;
you create your reality according to your beliefs.
Yours is the creative energy that makes the world.
There are no limitations to the self
except those you believe in.

If you are anticipating the worst
while hoping for the best, you will get the worst.
The things that happen to you are in direct accordance
with the things wherein you place your faith.
Believe you are licked ó and you are.

Harold Sherman

The problem is not that there are problems.
The problem is expecting otherwise
and thinking that having problems is a problem.

Meditate.
Live purely.

Do your work with mastery.
Like the moon,
come out from behind the clouds!
Shine!
