.that outstanding leaders go out of the way to boost the self-esteem
of their personnel. If people believe in themselves it's
amazing what they can accomplish.
Sam Walton said that, and he was right.
If you direct the activities of others, have you given them
a compliment today? Have you told them how valuable they are?
If they are not valuable, why do you have them working
for you? If they are, why would you not tell them?
Not once a year, at evaluation time.
Right now. Today. And often.

nurish your soul
that the time has come for you to nourish your soul.
When was the last time that you swam naked?
Or sang in the shower? Or blew bubbles?
Or held a puppy? Or kissed a baby?
Or made love all Sunday afternoon?
Or prayed really softly, not from need, but from love?
Has it been a while?
Then hurry. Do it.
Hurry.
This is life that is going by...

you do not do anything against you own will
.that no one does anything they do not want to do.
You always have a reason--and usually, a pretty good one--
for doing what you are doing and choosing what you are
choosing. Be careful not to convince yourself that you are
doing something against your will. Such a thing is impossible.
Therefore, be honest with yourself as to why you are choosing
to do a particular thing. Then, do it gladly, knowing that you
are always getting to do what you want. The statement "I have
no choice" is a lie. You can choose. You simply do not prefer
the alternatives available to you, for whatever reason. So you
select the outcome that you most prefer. Isn't that power?

get out of victimhood
.that nobody needs your help.
I know, I know...this is a difficult one. But it is true. Yet
this does not mean no one wants your help, or that noone
could use your help. It simply means the thought that another
Aspect of Divinity is powerless without you is inaccurate.
Do not do something, therefore, because you think someone
else needs you. That only builds resentment. Do whatever
you do as a means of deciding, declaring, creating, and
experiencing who you are--and who you choose to be. Then
you will never feel victimized, powerless, or without choice.
Yes? You see how simple it all is? Get out of victimhood.

stop telling yourself you cant
that the greatest enemy of individual freedom is the
individual himself.
Saul Alinsky said that, and he was right. In almost every
case, nothing is stopping you, nothing is holding you back
but your own thoughts about yourself and about "how life is."
Your personal freedom to experience yourself and life
as you wish is not being limited. Step into your choices
and stop telling yourself that you can't, when what you
really mean is that you don't want other people to feel the
way you think that are going to feel when they see you making
the choices you really want to make. Got it?

you are deeply loved
...that you are deeply loved by God.
Do you know that? I mean, do you really know that?
Because if you do, you will move through life without
fear. You will know that only Perfection can occur.
Yes, yes, I know, sometimes the things that occur don't
look perfect...but that is only a matter of perspective.
Because you can't see Perfection does not mean it is not
there. Give it Time. It will show itself for sure. Then you
will again smile at God's love...and how it plays out.
For now, trust that it will. Always. And in all ways. I
would not tell you this were it not true.

follow your passion
...that happiness, that grand mistress of the ceremonies in the dance of life,
impels us through all its mazes and meandering, but leads none of us by
the same route.
Charles Caleb Colton said that, and he was right. Therefore, since there is no One Way to find happiness, why not find it the way that appeals most to you? Why not follow your passion --- even if others tell you that you are crazy for trying it?
Is someone telling you that now? Don't listen. Don't listen to that! The voice of caution knows nothing of real joy. What joy is there is doing what there was no doubt you could do? Where's the excitement in that? Hey, try something that you could fail at. Now that's living.

helping is the greatest joy
...that helping is the greatest joy.
Let no one go without, or be in real need, if you have what they lack. Share of your abundance. Even if you think you are not abundant, share what little you think you have. What else is the point of having something if you don't share it? To use it for yourself, and yourself alone? Would that be the point?
I don't think so. In fact, that would miss the point of all of life.

peer deeply into the darkness
that the sage awakes to light in the night of all creatures. That which the
world calls day is the night of ignorance to the wise.
The Bhagavad Gita says that, and it is right. This scripture means that when all creatures are living in the illusion of darkness, the sage sees things as they really are, and awakes to that vision, praising the perfection.
Conversely, what the world calls "day" (or "bright" or "real") is an illusion...the "night of ignorance"...to the wise person who sees how pointless and worthless the shiny stuff of life that most people seek truly is.
Peer deeply into the darkness, then, and you will see the light. Yet turn away from the brightness of what others call "day", for they mistake the bright for the good.

pay attention to your soul
.that it is time for you to give your mind a respite,
a retreat from all the illusions of your Every Day.
How long has it been since you paid attention -- real attention -- to your soul? There are many ways to nourish the soul, but you often must stop, just simply stop, life as you are living it...if only for an hour or a day or a week...and take some time to gift your soul. Or, more accurately, to allow your soul to gift you.
Is there a book you have been dying to read? A personal growth workshop you wish you could take? A lecture you hope you can fit into your busy life? Do it. Do it now. You think you can't afford the time or the money? I tell you, you can't afford not to.

Do Not believe your Mind
that it would not be beneficial to believe your
Mind on matters that are very important to you.
Your Mind can base its conclusions only on Past Data that it has collected during your present experience of Physicalization.
It has no knowledge of things existing through all Eternity.
In order to access data having to do with Who You Really Are, and why any particular thing is occurring, you would have to have access to data from outside your present Time Line. This data is only accessible through your soul.
It appears in your life as a "knowing." Trust this.

Daily Meditation
that there are few tools more effective or more useful in achieving deep knowing, true joy, and inner peace than daily meditation.
It would be very beneficial to take 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the evening -- more if you can find it -- to be quiet with your Holy Self. Your consciousness can be dramatically expanded over a relatively short period of time with true dedication to such a gentle discipline.
Are you meditating regularly? Is it the first thing you cut out of your day if things start off, or begin to get, hectic? It should, of course, be the last thing.

When We Do The Best We Can
..that when we do the best we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life,
or in the life of another.
Hellen Keller said that, and she was right. There is a situation in your life right now where you are being asked to do your best, your very best. Maybe it is in finding forgiveness for another. Or is understanding something that you just haven't been able to understand. Or in accepting what has to this point felt unacceptable.
Whatever that situation (and you know exactly what it is right now)...are you doing the best that you can? If you are, so be it, and good. Yet if you think you might do better, allow this little nudge today to be your gift from the soul. A miracle awaits if you will reach back now and do your very, very, very best in this.

Finding The Beauty In Things
Did You Know that to find beauty in everyone you must SEE beauty in everyone, then announce that you see it, for in announcing it, you place it there in their reality.
Do not miss a single chance -- not one single opportunity -- to tell someone how wonderful they are, how special they are, how important to you they are, how incredible as a person they are, how beautiful they are inside and out. Do not miss a single opening in which to insert such a comment, genuinely felt and genuinely meant.
Make it your life's mission today to bring to the attention of another just how extraordinary they are. Say it. Say it. SAY it. Their heart is waiting to know that their own best thought about themselves can be believed.
