Emptiness is a symptom that you are not living creatively.

Do not say to yourself, 'I am going to act this way tomorrow.' Just say to yourself - 'I am going to imagine myself acting this way NOW - for 30 minutes - today.'

If you wait until circumstances justify your thinking pleasant thoughts, you are likely to wait forever.

Visualizing, creative mental picturing, is no more difficult than what you do when you remember some scene out of the past, or worry about the future. Acting out new action patterns is no more difficult than deciding, then following through on tying your shoes in a new and different manner each morning, instead of continuing to tie them in your old habitual way, without thought or decision.

Live in the present. The past is gone; the future is unknown - but the present is real, and your opportunities are now.

Develop an enthusiasm for life, create a need for more life, and you will receive more life.

If you make friends with yourself you will never be alone.
