On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that everything you have been thinking lately is to be
thrown out.

You're spending too much time "in your head" these
days. How about getting out of your thoughts and into
your feelings? You've analyzed it to death. Now it's
about moving from your head to your heart.

What are you feeling about all this? That is what really
matters. You are using your thoughts to try to parse
your feelings. You may want to stop that.

You will not have to think but a second to 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 it is never safe to look into the future with eyes
of fear.

Edward H. Harriman said that, and he was right. Nothing
is fearful lest thinking make it so. I can honestly say that
probably 95% of the things I was afraid of, it turned out
I had no reason to be.

And even if the thing you fear happens...so what? Again,
95% of the time your world is not going to fall apart, your
life will not be in danger. So drop fear by the wayside.

Just... let it go. Then make way for a surprising tomorrow.

Love, Your Friend....

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that the tiniest gesture -- a smile, a gentle look, a simple
pat on the arm, a soft word -- can change a person's life.

Before this very day is out, you are going to have a chance
to live in that possibility. Look. Watch.

See what this day brings you. And be ready.

If you believe I am exaggerating about this, please know
that I am not. Someone is waiting for that smile, that look,
that gesture from you right now.

Why do you suppose you just read this? Do you think this is
a coincidence?

Love, Your Friend....

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that miracles do not, in fact, break the laws of nature.
C.S. Lewis said that, and it is an enormous insight. If
we think that miracles are normal, we will expect them.

And expecting a miracle is the surest way to get one.

Love, Your Friend....

**********

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that what you found was meant for you to keep.

You know exactly what this means, so stop trying to
figure it out. This was not brought to you so that you
could throw it away. Or ignore it. Or pretend it is
not there.

Look at it. Grab it and look right at it. Hold onto it.

There is more there, much more, than you think.

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 when you pray for anyone, you tend to modify
your personal attitude toward them.

Norman Vincent Peale said that, and he touched on
something truly profound. If someone is vexing you
right now, say a prayer for that person. Send them all
of your best energies.

Nothing changes the environment like one person
deciding to love another, no matter what.

Love, Your Friend....

**********

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that there is no such thing as a "bad omen," so you
don't have to avoid black cats today.

Or ladders. Or cracks in the sidewalk. Friday the 13th
can be the Best Day of Your Life So Far. And it will
be if you choose to see everything in your life today
as a miracle.

That includes the growing of the grass, the passing of
a cloud, the smile on another's face...and the beating
of your own heart.

Live the miracle that is Life today, and do not worry
about "bad omens." Remember, nothing is evil, lest
thinking make it so. (Wm. Shakespeare)

Love, Your Friend....

**********

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that you are perfect just the way you are.

Yes, yes, I know...you and I have lots of the same
judgments about ourselves. But you know what?
God holds none of these judgments.

If you saw yourself as God sees you, you would smile
a lot.

So smile. And go forth now into your day, sharing the
wonder of Who You Are and who you now choose to
be. For we are blessed in you.

Love, Your Friend....

**********

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that there is no 'right way' to do anything, there is only
the way you are doing it.

Never be afraid to "try your hand" because you don't
want to might make a mistake or not do something
"right." Success in life comes from being willing to move
into Uncharted Territory.

Always remember: Life begins at the end of your
Comfort Zone.

You will not have to think but a second to 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 morning comes every day; the sunrise does not
fail, nor the sunset.

Give it time. That is all that may be required. Just give
it time. Do not try to push the river. The cycles of life
present themselves, play themselves out, and make
smooth every passage and terrain.

Try not to get caught up in your story of the moment.
Look, rather, to the Long Story. Therein will be
found your peace. The cycles will redeem this
moment, if you let them, and even this shall pass.

Love, Your Friend....

**********

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that Life is conspiring in your favor.
It may not always look that way, but it is, I assure you.

Everything that is happening, is happening just the way
it must, in order for you to have the opportunity to
create the experience of your Self for which you yearn.

The idea behind all of this is to give you a chance to
become and to know, at the highest level, Who You
Really Are. This is God Work we are up to, you and I.
So keep on.

Love, Your Friend....

**********

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that your kindness has been observed -- and, more
than observed, deeply appreciated -- by another.

Sometimes it may feel as if we go through life and
nobody notices any of the "good" things we do, only
the "bad." It may seem that way, but this is not true.

Why, this very moment someone thought of you,
and of a kindness you have done.

Your soul may have even tingled a little just now.

(It does that when it receives good energy.)
So keep sending out those kindnesses, my friend.
You are becoming known for them...

Love, Your Friend....

**********

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that you are innocent. You are blameless. You are
without foible or fault of any kind.

I know you do not believe this about yourself, but do
you believe this of the three-year-old beautiful child?

And what makes you think that you are anything less
in the eyes of God?

Love, Your Friend....

**********

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that there's more where that came from.

This is a key teaching; a most important message. The
goodness of the Universe is not limited. When something
"looks as if" it is running out, do not fret. This, or
something better, is on its way.

Sufficiency is the natural order of things. Good never
runs out -- although it may change form.

Did you get that last part?

Love, Your Friend....

**********

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that it is not necessary to "prove yourself" to anyone.

Do your best. That's all you can ask of yourself. If you
did your best and things just didn't work out, you don't
owe an apology to anyone. And you certainly don't
need to feel 'bad' about it -- or, worse yet, guilty.

Stop beating yourself up. What happened is what
happened. You're not the 'villain' here, I promise.

It's just what happened. And there is a Soul Reason,
I promise you.

Love, Your Friend....

**********

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that you must be willing to lose it all before you can
have it all.

What does this mean? It means that until you can let
go of everything, you will find it hard to hold onto
anything.

Detachment is the key. If you are so attached to
something that you are deeply unhappy without it,
then you are not simply attached, you are addicted.

You will not have to think but a second to 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 everything you see, hear, touch, taste, smell, or
sense in any way is an aspect of Divinity.

It is when you judge it to be something else that it shows
up as something else in your life. Therefore, judge not,
and neither condemn.

For that which you judge, judges you; and that which
you condemn will condemn you. Yet that which you see
for what it really is will see you for what you really are.

And therein will be found your peace.

Love, Your Friend....

**********

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that there is only one way to go, and that's up.

I know that it is possible for life to look, sometimes, as
if it's going downhill, as if everything is falling apart. But
consider this: When life is 'falling apart' things could
actually be falling together...maybe for the first time.
Try to not see things that are not there -- and do not fail to
see things that are...

You will not have to think but a second to 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 the supernatural is the natural not yet understood.

Elbert Hubbard said that, and he was right. William
Shakespeare put it another way: There are more things
in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in
your philosophy.

All of which is to say, do not be too surprised by the
inexplicable. And if you've been wondering whether
you can trust this thing called God--the answer is yes.

Hey, you asked for a sign and here it is--literally out
of the blue. So smile. Okay?

Love, Your Friend....

**********

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that love is sometimes shown in the things you don't
say, don't keep track of, and don't notice.

The greatest kindness is often shown in letting things go.

None of us is perfect, but we can all be perfect friends
and perfect parters by allowing those that we love to
be imperfect.

Give those around you the "break" that you hope the
world will give you on your own "bad day" and you'll
never, ever regret it.

Love, Your Friend....

**********

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that you are valued more than you know, by more
people than you think.

It might be good to get in touch today with your true
worth. It is much higher than you often give it credit
for being -- and now is a perfect time to know, and
to gently assert, that fact.

This is not about arrogance and it is not about over
confidence. It is about a simple, dignified Knowing.

Love, Your Friend....

**********

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that you've got to have a dream if you want to have
a dream come true.

Denis Waitley said that, and he was right. So specify
your dream; clarify and quantify your vision. Do not
aim for a target that you cannot see.

And don't you dare reduce your dream to its smallest
component. Enlarge it to its biggest. You can have that.
You can.

Love, Your Friend....

**********

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that not to decide is to decide.
Letting something go until it "decides itself" is Life
by Default. You don't want to live that way.

So choose. Choose right now.

Stop worrying about what you can "lose" or how you
can "win" and just follow your joy.

Where does your joy say you should go?

Love, Your Friend....

**********

On this day of your life I believe God wants you to know...
...that impatience will get you nowhere, fast.

If you insist on being in a hurry, you'll move very
quickly -- and often get nowhere. Take a breath.

Relax. Find your peace.

Don't require the Universe to move more rapidly
than it is. It is actually working perfectly, and it
will prove that to you if you will give it a chance.

Really. Trust me on this.

Love, Your Friend....

**********

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that thinking the highest thought is the safest mental
exercise.

Do not be tempted to think the smallest thought or to
lower your expectations so that anything above that
will be considered a "win" for you. You will have
already lost...

Your safety will not be found in working hard to avoid
disappointment, but in hardly working to produce more
and more life. Aim high. Ride easy. Trust God.

Love, Your Friend....
