On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that there is a solution to every problem.

Nothing is insoluable. Nothing. Do everything that you
can to avoid the temptation of thinking that what is
facing you now is insurmountable. That is simply not true.

You cannot see the solution, of course, if you are
convinced it is not there. So you must have great faith
in life. Do you have great faith in life? Now would be a
good time to show it. Smile. Relax. It'll all be okay.

You will not have to think more than 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 you will only benefit from resisting the temptation
to think immediately about the worst possible outcome.

When something comes up, when something happens
in your life, that disrupts the easy "flow," it is always
better to bless it than to damn it. Try to see it as nothing
serious. It most cases, it will not be.

Jumping to conclusions mired in negativity only thwarts
the process by which your mind can stay clear, and
thus find a way out of the momentary dilemma.

Love, Your Friend....

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that the method of the enterprising is to plan with
audacity and execute with vigor.

Christian Nevell Bovee said that, and it is a valuable
observation. As we experience this holiday season, and
you begin thinking about the New Year ahead, plan
with audacity.

And as you move into the New Year, execute your
plans with vigor. There is excitement in life -- but you
have to put it there.

Incidentally, you may begin executing with vigor right
now. Why wait?

Love, Your Friend....

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that it is literally true that you can succeed best and
quickest by helping others to succeed.

Napoleon Hill said that, and he was right. Nothing
ensures success like ensuring another's success. And
there is someone who is looking for your help and
your support today.

Lift that person up, give that person credit, do whatever
you can to help that person be a success. And always
remember: What goes around, comes around.

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that on this New Year's Eve a miracle can occur.

Tonight we ring out the old and ring in the new. And
more--much more--can change than simply the dates
on the calendar. You can resolve this night to change
your entire life...or any aspect of your self and your
experience that you choose.

And should old acquaintance be forgot, and never
brought to mind? No. Keep old friends near, and
old loves dear. For they will help you make those
changes in your life that will produce miracles,
if you let them.

Happy, happy New Year!

Love, Your Friend....

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that every day is a New Beginning.

A new cycle begins this day, yet a new cycle begins
every day. Indeed, every moment. So if you recognize
anything on this day, recognize what it symbolizes: The
miracle of the endlessly continuing Cycle of Life.

What a grand day! What a time for celebration! We
begin again today! We turn the page! And so, let go
of all that you do not wish to carry with you any further.

Any fear, any sadness, any anger, any resentment, any
disappointment, any lament...let it all go. And now,
using the specialness of this day as a springboard,
let's get on with Life!

Love, Your Friend....

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that it is well to think well. It is divine to act well.

Horace Mann said that, and he was right. Thinking is
just the first step in creation. You've had some
wonderful ideas lately about changes you want to make
in your life. Now it's time to put those thoughts into a
action, yes?

Love, Your Friend....

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that the opposite of a correct statement is a false
statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may
well be another profound truth.

Niels Bohr said that, and he was right. In fact, there
have been few statements in the history of statement-
making that were more accurate than that one. So be
aware and stay awake! The Law of Opposites
sometimes leads you to a Divine Dichotomy.

Two opposing truths can exist simultaneously in the
same space. Do not therefore assume that That Which
Opposes You is That Which Is Not Good For You.
It may be just the reverse.

Love, Your Friend....

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that the cycles of life are endless -- and always serve
you, because life is a process that serves Life Itself.

When things seem to be shifting away from you,
moving in the other direction, closing doors,
shutting down opportunities, remember that all things
are cyclical -- including Life Itself.

What you are experiencing is temporary -- whether it's
"good" OR "bad." So stop calling it one thing or the
other, and simply embrace it as What's Happening Now.

You'll move through it all much more peacefully.

And, one day, you'll call it ALL "good."

Love, Your Friend....

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that as you start the first full work week of the New
Year you should do no 'work' at all.

The point of your activities throughout the day is not to
make a living, but to make a life; not to 'work' but to
create joy. If you are doing what you are doing merely
to 'pay the bills,' you will have missed the major reason
for All Of Life.

The purpose of life is to know and express Who You
Are. If you do other than that during the days and times
of your life, you will have not used those days and times
in a way that profits your soul. It is soul profit we are
after here, not body profit.

This first week of the New Year is a good time to
contemplate that, yes?

Love, Your Friend....

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that every increased possession
loads us with a new weariness.

John Ruskin said that, and he was right. Life is not
about our physical or material possessions, it is about
the Agenda of our Soul. When material possessions
serve that agenda, they can be wonderful and are to
be celebrated. But if they come between us
and the soul, then we may very well be delayed
on our holy journey.

Our journey is the path back to peace, to harmony,
to deep inner joy, to love, and to God.

Love, Your Friend....

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that happiness is good health and a bad memory.

Ingrid Bergman said that, and it is so true. Memories,
of course, bring up moments that are past, whereas
happiness is always found in the moment that is here,
now.

Constantly remembering bad things, or sad things, can
rob you of your present -- that is, your pre-sent -- joy.

Happiness has been sent to you in advance by God. It
is here, in this moment, if you will seize it...and share it.

Love, Your Friend....
