A master blesses calamity, for the master knows that from the seeds of disaster (and all experience) comes the growth of self.

What's happening is merely what's happening. How you feel about it is another matter.

The correct prayer is never one of supplication but one of gratitude.

Everything changes when you make a decision to be one of the courageous ones, someone who chooses to make a life, rather than a living.

This is the great secret. This is the sacred wisdom. Do unto others as you would have it done unto you. All of your problems, all of your conflicts, all of your difficulties in creating a life on your planet of peace and joy are based in your failure to understand this simple instruction, and to follow it.

Nothing happens in life by accident. Nothing occurs by chance. Nothing takes place without producing the opportunity for real and lasting benefit to you. The perfection of every moment may not be apparent to you, yet that will make the moment no less perfect.

Expressing thankfulness in advance is the way of all Masters. So do not wait for a thing to happen and then give thanks. Give thanks before it happens, and watch energies swirl! To thank God before something occurs is an act of extraordinary faith. And that, of course, is where the power comes from.
