This is a new day. Begin anew to claim and create all that is good

Don't ever think it's too late for you or that you're too old to dream and have goals.

I trust myself, and I trust Life to support and protect me.

Be grateful for what you do have, and you will find it increases. I like to bless with love all that is in my life right now-my home, the heat, water, light, telephone, furniture, plumbing, appliances, clothing, transportation, jobs-the money I do have, friends, my ability to see and feel and taste and touch and walk and to enjoy this incredible planet.

I have never understood the importance of having children memorize battle dates. It seems like such a waste of mental energy. Instead, we could teach them important subjects such as How the Mind Works, How to Handle Finances, How to Invest Money for Financial Security, How to be a Parent, How to Create Good Relationships, and How to Create and Maintain Self-Esteem and Self-Worth. Can you imagine what a whole generation of adults would be like if they had been taught these subjects in school along with their regular curriculum?

Don't run from lessons; they are little packages of treasure that have been given to us. As we learn from them, our lives change for the better.

If you don't eat right and you don't know how to take care of your body, you're not going to have the energy to do anything wonderful.
