A blue sky
A hot sun

Filled with Richness

Ralph Marston

Do you fully realize how very rich you are? Or do you instead choose to focus on lack and limitation?

You are alive and aware in a universe that is filled with endless possibilities. And as each new moment arrives, those possibilities increase.

It makes no sense to think of your life in terms of what you don't have. For that kind of thinking cuts you off from the real richness that can be yours.

Take just one small positive thing in your life and spend a little time truly appreciating it. The more you focus on the goodness, the more of it there will be.

The more fully you realize how rich you are, the more access you'll have to that richness. The more you appreciate the positive possibilities, the more valuable those possibilities become.

No matter what your situation or circumstance, life is filled with the richness of positive possibilities. See that richness and you will begin to truly live it.

One Man Awake

Helen Kramer

One man awake
can awaken another
The second can wake
his next-door brother
The three awake can rouse the town
by turning the whole place upside down
And the many awake make such a fuss
they finally awaken the rest of us

One man up with the dawn in his eyes
——Multiplies

Everything You Need

Dr. Wayne Dyer

Everything you need you already have. You are complete right now, you are a whole, total person, not an apprentice person on the way to someplace else. Your completeness must be understood by you and experienced in your thoughts as your own personal reality.

Recipe for a Wonderful New Year

Author Unknown

Take twelve whole months.
Clean them thoroughly of all bitterness, hate, and jealousy.
Make them just as fresh and clean as possible.
Now cut each month into 28, 30, or 31 parts,
But don't make up the whole batch at once.
Prepare it one day at a time out of these ingredients:
Mix well into each day one part of faith,
One part of patience, one part of courage,
And one part of work.
Add to each day one part of hope,
Faithfulness, generosity, and kindness.
Blend with one part prayer, one part meditation,
And one good deed.
Season the whole with a dash of good spirits,
A sprinkle of fun, a pinch of play,
And a cupful of good humor.
Pour all of this into a vessel of love.
Cook thoroughly over radiant joy,
Garnish with a smile,
And serve with quietness, unselfishness,
And cheerfulness.
Enjoy!!!
