If we keep this question in mind while planning our days, we will see that we actually have countless opportunities to add to our life force. Being around people and places we love and doing things that give us deep satisfaction, taking time to digest the events in our lives, being less busy, telling the truth, laughing a lot, eating right, exercising regularly, having long talks with those we love-these are among the best ways to nourish our vitality. Our life force thrives when we are completely engaged in the present moment.

Resentments lodge inside you, causing you to lose touch with your inherent worth, your joy, and - more important - your God-loving heart.

Before you begin your day: Take a moment of silence and meditation, and give yourself permission to have all that you desire.

Live in the knowledge that you are a gift to the world.

When a warrior is present and awake to all that she is, she is able to take on any challenge, any project, or any future that she desires. Her daily prayer is to have the strength to love all of herself, the courage to listen to what she is guided to do and the confidence to go out, stand tall and deliver her gifts to the world.

All real change requires risk. You must take risks every day of your life. You must get up each morning and ask...: What can I do that is different?

People with hearts filled with love, peace, and compassion live in heaven.
