- 4. Love, Compassion and Forgiveness Is it possible to live your life from an inner wellspring of love, compassion and forgiveness? It is if you stay connected to the deeper, wiser, more loving part of you; if you hold an inner knowing that you are whole, complete and brilliant no matter what others do or say; and if you take responsibility for your own self-love, security, and inner peace.

- 7. Peace, Joy and Contentment As tempting as it is to try to change our world into a more peaceful place, we eventually realize that true peace begins within. Everything around us is merely a reflection of what is happening within us, individually and collectively.

- 9. Making a Difference in the World Do you ever feel as if you can’t possibly make a positive impact on the world around you? Does it seem as if the necessary changes are just too much for one person to handle? Trying to change the world on your own may indeed be overwhelming, but what if you focused on just doing as much as you can, in whatever small ways you can? And what if millions of other people did exactly the same thing? The quotes below share a few inspiring ideas on how to do just that. Sharing Your Joy Live your life from your heart.

- 11. Strength, Courage and Perseverance One thing virtually all of us have in common is a lack of belief in our own capabilities. We have endless goals and dreams that we would love to achieve - but we doubt our ability to achieve them so we keep holding back. If we do manage to get up the courage to take action, we quickly realize that the journey is harder than we anticipated, and give up. What we often fail to realize is that each of us has a core of immense power, strength and courage within us. If we would learn to tap into this rich resource during times of uncertainty and difficulty, we would be able to transcend all limitations - within and without. The wise words below offer some encouragement for tapping into your own reservoir of strength and courage - and continuing to persevere no matter what. You Are Capable of We either make ourselves miserable or we More Than You Think make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same. - Carlos Castaneda “Do just once what others say you can’t do, and you will never pay attention to I didn't fail the test; I just found 100 ways their limitations again.” - James R Cook to do it wrong. - Benjamin Franklin “Try not, do!

- 13. Intuition, Divine Guidance and Faith Intuition is one of the most powerful tools we have for joyful, abundant living; yet many of us have no idea how to use it. Instead we try to use rational, logical thinking to get us out of jams and make progress on our goals. Unfortunately, logical thinking can often complicate things when a much simpler solution may be available to us. To tap this mysterious power, we only need to get quiet and turn within. When we stop the frantic, scattered thinking; when we stop panicking and worrying; when we simply turn within and reconnect with our inner wisdom, all of the answers we will ever need are right there waiting for us. It may take a little time to develop a strong faith in our ability to know - but the more we work with our inner guidance, the more natural it will eventually feel. To know how to choose a path with heart is Faith and Belief to learn how to follow intuitive feeling. - “Faith means living with uncertainty - Jean Shinoda Bolen feeling your way through life, letting your heart guide you like a lantern in Intuition is already in contact with the dark.” - Dan Millman Existence.

The art of “Faith without doubt is folly.” - Thomas life is to get the message. - Malcolm Allen Muggeridge “Faith is a knowledge within the heart, Your inner voice, your instinct, knows beyond the reach of proof.” - Kahlil everything. - Henry Winkler Gibran When I do things without any explanation, but just with spontaneity . . . I can be sure that I am right. - Federico Fellini We each need to let our intuition guide us, and then be willing to follow that guidance directly and fearlessly. - Shakti Gawain
- 14. Happiness and Gratitude It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, but it is not possible to find it elsewhere. - Agnes Repplier Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. - Mahatma Ghandi Show respect to all people and grovel to none. When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. - Tecumseh I am a kind of paranoiac in reverse. I suspect people of plotting to make me happy. - J. D.

Forbes Dreams come true. Without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them. - John Updike The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment, it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone. - Orison Swett Marden
- 17. Growing in Wisdom Each of us is born with a certain measure of inner wisdom, but we also grow wiser as we navigate through our life experiences. We grow in wisdom as we awaken to our passion and purpose; we grow in wisdom as we develop and embrace our capabilities as individuals; and we grow in wisdom with every failure and mistake we make. Developing this wisdom can seem like a hard battle at times. We never stop growing and learning for as long as we live on this earth - and many of us believe that the journey continues even after we leave here. Thankfully, at any time if we pause, look back and see how far we’ve come, we will believe wholeheartedly that the inner growth and awakening we have achieved along the way was worth it. Wisdom in Perspective A prudent question is one-half of wisdom. - Francis Bacon “He who thinks he knows much, knows little. He who knows he Eternity is not the hereafter...this is it. If you knows little, knows much.” - don't get it here, you won't get it anywhere. - Confucious Joseph Campbell “There is a wisdom of the head, and . . . a wisdom of the heart.” - Anything you want to ask a teacher, ask Charles Dickens yourself, and wait for the answer in silence. - Byron Katie “I did then what I knew how to do.

A World in which everything is POSSIBLE! - Thomas Herold The world has so many lessons to teach you . . . and the secret I've learned to getting ahead is being open to the lessons. - Oprah No man was ever wise by chance. - Seneca
- 18. Keeping a Positive Attitude No matter what you do and where you go in your lifetime, you bring your attitude with you. Your attitude acts as a filter through which you see the world around you, coloring every nuance, every perception, every experience so that it seems to underscore your dominant focus. Having a good attitude means your life experiences will generally seem to be good also. Likewise, having a negative attitude will ensure that most of your life experiences seem to be negative in tone. The good news is that you have complete control of your attitude. You can change your thoughts at any time, and when you do, you will notice that the world around you usually changes to match the content of those thoughts. There is little difference in people, but that Choosing Your Attitude little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big “Every day may not be good, but difference is whether it is positive or there's something good in every day.” - negative. - Clement Stone Author Unknown There are only two ways to live your life. “Choose Your Attitude: When you look One is as though nothing is a miracle.

Wilde Clement Stone You can’t help getting older . . . but you don’t have to get old. - George Burns The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes. - Marcel Proust A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change. - Earl Nightingale
- 19. The Power of Thoughts Once you understand the true power that your thoughts have in shaping your life experiences, you become much more careful about where you place your focus. No longer does it seem like a good idea to expose your mind to violent images or negativity in any form. No longer do you feel the need to complain incessantly, worry about things you can’t control, or doubt your own capabilities. Once you have seen evidence of your thoughts at work in your outer life, you may steadily develop a thrill of excitement like nothing you have experienced before as you realize that there is nothing that you can’t accomplish. Little by little, thought by thought, you can begin creating your new vision of the life you have dreamed of living - and you will be led surely to the realization of it. Thoughts Create Life is not happening to you. It’s happening from You! - Andy Dooley “The reason that thoughts are powerful has both a very simple explanation and a more What lies behind us and what lies complicated explanation. The complicated before us are small matters compared explanation involves the idea that all material reality – the whole universe – is a to what lies within us. - Ralph Waldo product of consciousness, and so all of our Emerson thoughts, beliefs and ideas have some effect on "external" reality.

You are like a wiggle, a wave, a fluctuation, a convolution, a whirlpool, a localised disturbance in the larger quantum field - the universe - is your extended body. - Deepak Chopra
- 20. The Universe is Made of Mind Stuff. - Sir James Jeans When an electron vibrates the universe shakes. - Sir James Jeans The Kingdom of Heaven is Within You, and whoever knows himself shall find it. And having found it, you shall know yourselves that You are in God and God is in You, and You are the Kingdom of God. - Yehshua Christ Oxyrhynchus Manuscript Thoughts rule the world. - Ralph Waldo Emerson We must train the mind to desire what the situation demands. - Seneca We do not see things as they are. We see them as we are. - The Talmud You are what you think. You get what you Magnetic Thoughts expect. - Michael Oliver “The human mind is constantly Man is free at the moment he wishes to be. - attracting vibrations which harmonize with that which dominates the mind.
