Default Create Vision

Never believe anyone who says we cannot change. Vision is one of the secrets of personal transformation. We are all artists, our mind is the arena of creation and vision is what we are constantly creating. What is your vision of yourself today – patient, relaxed, positive or tense, tight and negative? What do you prefer? So be creative – what does patience look like, feel like, what are you doing that is different when you are patient and you are expressing your power to …wait? Always start with vision not action. See it and you will be it. Be it and you will do it. We don’t ‘get a life’ as some would cynically tell us – we create our life.

Default Ferocious Lions

The habits of guessing and assumption can be like ferocious lions. So do not allow them to run wild.

Default Give and Take

Whatever you give comes back to you. Whatever you take will not stay with you.

Default Give Time

Whatever or whoever you give time to, you give your attention to. Whatever gets your attention gets your energy. Whatever gets your energy must grow. So what will you give your time to today - who will get your attention? What or who needs your attention? Is it a task, a process or a relationship? Or are you waiting for these things to give you time and attention? How long have you been waiting? Why are you waiting? Are you a leader or a follower, a master or a slave? Mmmm...all questions today!

Default Courage

Courage is taking a step forward into an area of difficulty without a solution in mind, trusting that whatever help you need will become available.

Default Peace

Peace is not a passive attitude; it is an active state. It requires having constant attention in order to live and to respond as a peaceful being to any upset in life.

Default Inner Peace and Protection - Step1

Let every day begin with a 'good morning' to the self, to God and to life. The first thought of the day gives me power and peace.

Default Inner Power and Protection - Step 2

Everything, everyone is my teacher. No matter how difficult, how unexpected, how unwanted, since it has come into my life, I ask myself, "What do I learn now?"

Default Inner Power and Protection - Step 3

Every two hours, I put a brake on my mind and tongue and become quiet: just a minute to be peaceful. I stop, relax, recharge and then re-enter the flow of daily activities.

I like this one. The same could be said of faith.
