Leonardo da Vinci, one of the greatest creative thinkers of all time, strongly recommended the habit of meditation in the dark. He wrote: "For I have found in my own experience that it is of no small benefit, when you lie in bed in the dark, to recall in imagination, one after another, the outlines of the form you have been studying." He often awoke to find his problems solved. Da Vinci would often stand silent and motionless before a painting for hours, without using his brush, as though waiting for spiritual guidance.

Change can be accomplished most of all through the power of prayer, because with God all things are possible.

Believe! Project a mental picture of your goal in life. Believing is a creative force that brings the visible out of the invisible. You must believe to achieve.

Let your light shine. Be a source of strength and courage. Share your wisdom. Radiate love.

You visualize yourself as the person you want to be. You strive to make the ideal in your mind become a reality on the canvas of Time.

Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. Let their spirit ignite a fire within you to leave this world better than when you found it.

Love is the spiritual magnetism that draws men together, for the working of miracles.
