When you get really clear, you reawaken the sacredness that is already here. The ultimate value is finding our true humanity & living in its sacred way. Life is a sacred miracle that is here for a while & then fade away, back into the vast cosmos. So why not appreciate & participate in this magical knowing? As someone said, "I am another you." We are all in this together. Find the love that puts you above the trite blight. Love is appreciating life as the precious marvel that is. When you truly love yourself, you are loving the world, because you are the world. It is all part of the eternal dance that is your own mind. Just let go of ego & you will find. To open & give is to truly live.

If we don’t know where we’re going, then any road will do. But if we actually want to accomplish something and get somewhere, then first we must visualize it. Visualize where you want to be, and then work backwards and figure out each step to get you there. It’s called a “plan”. Make a plan and know you can. Start things in motion. Take it and bake it, even fake it, and it can start to happen. The world is your oyster, if you know how to open it. The world is a wonderful treasure, and you can create the key with your vision. Focus on how now.

Life is a “mirror of mind”. What you think, is what you get. Know that if something can be done, then it’s possible that you can do it. Nothing is accomplished, if nothing is attempted. So be bold and visualize a wonderful life for yourself. You can create, and do create your world. It’s been said, “the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step”. Why not be bold enough to take that step toward your dream? We’re all either winning or learning. Jump into the life’s stream and catch your dream.

It is time to let your mind find it's eternal rhyme. The ultimate discovery is born in knowing that nothing can harm your mind, because your mind is nothing. It’s just the context where things happen. Some call the mind the “diamond” or the “jewel”, because it is indestructible, obviously, because nothing can harm nothing. Again, since mind is everything, yet nothing at all, it is likened to infinity and eternity. Here & now is the center of your galaxy's ride.The mystery of your mind is truly impossible to define. It’s time to appreciate the wonderful miracle of your own mind. Go for a ride inside and discover the infinite universe is in your own mind.

We have to stay calm in the rush. We have to stay in balance & not get bent out of shape. Hopefully, we can stay cool & reflect the sanity & love that it will take to carry us through stormy times. May we find a way to connect with the very ones who are behind so much fear & greed, & get them to see the possibility of a better world. We have to move towards a world of harmony & love or try to weather the storms of our own distorted creations. Let life's song carry you along to the sunshine of love's warmth. Be cool. Let love be the rule.

Mahatma Gandhi said, “There is more to life than increasing its speed.” Sometimes we get going so fast, that we lose our place. We lose perspective of who we are and where we’re going. Stress is a disease (dis-ease). Ironically, if we slow down and gather our-selves, we can soon remember that place inside where things are clear and peaceful and in harmony. We can remember how to find the balance of our lives and appreciate the miracle of life. Slow down and see. Slow down and be. Slow down and free that safe place of grace, where we feel right at home right now.
