On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that if you see yourself as prosperous, you will be. If you see
yourself as continually hard up, that is exactly what you will be.

Robert Collier said that, and he was right.

Every spiritual book in contemporary times sends us the same message.
Live the reality you wish to experience, beginning now.
Not only see yourself as prosperous, act this idea out .
You can do it in small ways. The Universe doesn't care. It's the energy
behind the gesture that counts, not the size of the gesture. So go ahead.

Give some money away today. Buy something special today.
Act prosperous today. The Universe will get the message when you do.
Love, Your Friend....

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
..that you cannot make a mistake, you can only
make a decision that will be your next best step.

There is no reason to hesitate when you know
that you have nothing to lose. And losing is not
an act of God, it is a thought in the mind of humans.

Get rid of the thought and you get rid of doubt.
Ride your Wisdom to Victory.

Love, Your Friend....

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that you are a pure child of God, beautiful in your innocence -- and
That this is true no matter what you may have done.

There is no offense you could ever commit that can rob you of your
magnificence, or of the wonder of who you are. Yet who
among us hasn't fallen from the path, betrayed another, acted
unwisely, fallen prey to temptation, given in to a craving or addiction?

All of us are human. And in God's eyes that makes us perfect.

Really. Just the way we are. Like 3-year-olds, looking anxiously
up at some elder, wondering with quivering lips whether we'll get
a spanking for breaking the rules...

The 3-year-old is beautiful in her innocence. He is pure as snow,
and there is simply something that has not been totally understood,
or fully integrated into behavior yet. It's okay. We don't mean to
be "bad." And in truth, we aren't. Not a one of us.

We're simply, sometimes, mistaken. And God loves us anyway.
Immensely. Completely. Eternally.

Just as we are.

Oh, and by the way, ...you already know
the reason that this particular reminder
came to you today...
.
Love, Your Friend....

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that God is talking to you every minute of every hour of every day.
You are never alone, or without help or guidance,
counsel or advice. You need but purely and earnestly
ask a question and God will answer you, directly and immediately.

The answer may come in an unexpected form, but it
will come.Your only job then will be to not ignore it;
to see it for what it is. For all you know these very words
may be an answer to your question about whether God
is even listening to you or offering you guidance.
.
Love, Your Friend....

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that great and unexpected good is coming to you now.

You've been waiting for a shift in energy, and that shift
has occurred. All you have to do now is get ready to receive
your new-found good. Be on the lookout. It may come
at a time and in a way that you could not have
anticipated or imagined.

.
Love, Your Friend....

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that you do not have to wait for wisdom to befall you
in order to know what move to make now.

The wisdom, the insight, the answer you have been
waiting for is waiting for you. It is already inside of you.

In fact, you may have already "heard" it and not believed it.

It you want to be clear about this answer, simply write your
question, condition, or problem down on a piece of paper tonight,
then pick up the paper tomorrow morning and compose a calm,
wisdom-filled response.

Don't be surprised if you surprise yourself with the answer you receive.

Love, Your Friend....

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that all that Life asks is that you move through Life with a reverence for Life.

Yet this reverence for Life must be displayed in all things.

Even in the littlest things. Perhaps especially so.

For instance, if you choose to consume animals,
do you limit your purchases of flesh to cook
to only those suppliers who treat animals humanely?

Do you even know who those suppliers are?

Does this matter to you? How you treat other Life Forms
does matter. It says something about how you want Life to be.

You see, we are creating all of this. All of this.

Love, Your Friend....

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that art begs you to notice it.

Why? Because art is God's way of saying hello.

So pay attention to poetry. Pay attention to music.
Pay attention to paintings and sculptures and
photo exhibits and ballets and plays.

Don't let all this go unnoticed.

Your world is shouting out to you, revealing
something intrinsically glorious about itself.

Listen carefully. Love art, the way art loves Life.

Love, Your Friend....

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that giving up is not the answer. Neither is giving in.

Stand your ground.

There is a way of doing that without having to be
combative. There is a way of hanging on to your true self,
and demonstrating it, without resorting to aggression.

But giving up and giving in is not the way.

Simply and quietly claiming your right to be You
is the way.

You know exactly why you received this message today.

Love, Your Friend....

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...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.

Love, Your Friend....
