As your awareness of the riches available to you in your everyday life grows, you are on the way to becoming the laughing Buddha. Life is joyous. Life is Light. Life is happy. You are awake at last.

Our goal is to enjoy, not to achieve perfection

We don't have to wait until we are old to gather the riches... We can gather them every day of our lives.

Knowing that we can make a difference in this world is a great motivator. How can we know this and not be involved?

We have been taught to believe that negative equals realistic and positive equals unrealistic.

While non of us understands the Grand Design, we can commit to using all our experiences, good or bad, as the building blocks of a powerful and loving life. Then it is, indeed, all happening perfectly.

We become powerful in the face of our fears when we have a sense that we make a difference in this world. We are all meaningful participants in this Universe and worthy of giving and receiving love. Some affirmations of purpose are: I know that I count and I act as though I do. I spread warmth and love everywhere I go. I am a healing force in the Universe.
