THE LAW OF INDIVIDUAL REALITY by Unknown
Your thoughts become your actions and your actions create the circumstances in your life.
You are responsible for everything that happens to you in your life.
This is the simple law of as you sow so you reap. It can also be called the law of motion and emotion. Every thought that we send out into the universe comes back to us with accumulated energy of its own kind.
When negative thoughts go out of our minds, they will come back to us with redoubled negative energy and give us lot of pain and unhappiness.
Positive thoughts on the other hand bring in positive energy and energize us, establishing in the process peace and harmony in our consciousness.
Our actions too yield the same results.
Our positive actions bring in positive rewards and our negative actions bring negative rewards. The energy that we unleash, either in the form of a thought or action, always comes back to us with increased force.
Thus through our actions and thoughts we are constantly creating our own realities.
Whatever we give comes back to us. We should therefore be very careful about our thoughts and actions as they have a lasting influence on the pattern of our lives.
People blame others for what happens to them. Little do they know that if any one is to be blamed it is the person himself who made it happen to himself!
Wisdom is when something happens to you. Instead of looking around for excuses and placing the blame on others, look into yourself and ask yourself why you made it happen? Why you invited those conditions and circumstances into your life?
Perhaps it was because you wanted to learn something out of that experience. Perhaps you wanted to strengthen some aspect of your personality or resolve some long troubling relationship.
When you start accepting responsibility for the events of your life, you begin to learn more about yourself, your inner thoughts, your fears and aspirations.
Out of this awareness you also start expanding your consciousness. Become aware of your thought processes and through this awareness you finally learn to change the conditions of your life.

All You Need Is Already There by Scott Allen Barker
It's all there. It's always been there.
Inside SELF ...
We seek, and we look for answers, for direction, for something to believe in. Something REAL. Something we "know" -we sense, we feel- is real.
This universe is ordered by very basic, fundamental principles. Energy makes it run the way it does.
Feelings are our power-packs; and only because they hold our individual sources of energy. They hold our pure energy -our raw energy. They hold our magnetism and our power.
A goal, a desire, a need, is about energy that's already inside you. However that energy makes you "feel" is what will pull, or attract your desire to you.
All you have to do is "feel" it.
This is the power "in the need".
Flow with the Energy, and let your thoughts evolve from there. Let it be what it exists to be from the start.

Your Kindness and Love Can Touch A Life by Unknown
Take some time to read this! Really touching!
I was walking around in a Big Bazar store while shopping, when I saw a Cashier talking to a boy who couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old.
The Cashier said, 'I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll."
Then the little boy turned to me and asked: ''Aunty, are you sure I don't have enough money?''
I counted his cash and replied, ''You know that you don't have enough money to buy the doll, my dear.''
The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand.
"It's the doll that my Sister loved most and wanted so much. I wanted to Gift her for her BIRTHDAY. I have to give the doll to my Mommy so that she can give it to my Sister when she goes there."
His eyes were so sad while saying this.
"My Sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my Sister."
My heart nearly stopped.
The little boy looked up at me and said, "I told Daddy to tell Mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall."
Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing.
He then told me, "I want Mommy to take my picture with her so my Sister won't forget me. I love my Mommy and I wish she didn't have to leave me, but Daddy says that she has to go to be with my little Sister."
Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly.
I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy, "Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll?''
"OK" he said, "I hope I do have enough."
I added some of my money to his, without him seeing, and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money.
The little boy said, "Thank you God for giving me enough money!"
Then he looked at me and added, "I asked last night, before I went to sleep, for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that Mommy could give It to my Sister. He heard me!"
"I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my Mommy, but I didn't dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose. My Mommy loves white roses."
I finished my shopping in a totally different state from when I started.
I couldn't get the little boy out of my mind. Then I remembered a local newspaper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl.
The little girl died right away, and the young woman was left in a critical state. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the life-sustaining machine, because the young woman would not be able to recover from the coma.
Was this the family of the little boy?
Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I read in the newspaper that the young woman had passed away. I couldn't stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was exposed for people to see and make last wishes before her burial.
She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest.
I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed forever.
The love that the little boy had for his mother and his sister is still, to this day, hard to imagine. And in a fraction of a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away from him.

Don't Forget About Your Dreams, You Can Do It, Go For It by Elise Quevedo
Hey there y'all.
Have you ever wondered why so many people never follow their dreams? Have you ever looked around you when you are on the bus, waiting in line at the bank or grocery store or even just around in the street?
When you were a kid... You had dreams... you wanted to be a Fire fighter... an actor... a pilot... a billionaire… Spiderman!!! There were no limits to what you wanted to become.
Who remembers that jar of cookies on top of the refrigerator... the jar that you could not reach? And do you remember doing everything you could to reach that jar?
I still remember thinking... " I want the cookie no matter what". I remember grabbing a chair.... books... stacking them all up one on top of the other... until I could climb up all the way and get the cookie. I did not think about the difficulties or how high the chair was getting as I was stacking the books.
As a child, the notion of fear is non-existent, and we think anything we want is achievable.
What happens to our dreams, as we grow old? So many people around us say "NO"... that we get used to that "NO" and we let that word affect the way we think.
Why is it that the little boy who wanted to be a fire fighter ends up being an accountant? The little girl who wanted to be a Ballerina ends up being a schoolteacher?
We let the people around us influence our decisions. We forget our goals and follow what we think everyone else wants from us.
We must each write our goals and dreams and have them near us each day. If you do not have a goal or plan of where you want to go in life, you will usually not like where you end up.
What you have done up until now... up until 10 seconds ago... is GONE! You cannot change it! But what you can do... is change what you do as of Now... this minute... this second.
Lao Tzu said... " When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be".
Let go of the past... think of who you want to become and don't let other people tell you otherwise. Keep focus and remember how driven and courageous you were as a kid... never forget that feeling.

OUR WISH FOR YOU by Unknown
A woman came out of her house and saw three old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said, "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."
"Is the man of the house home?" they asked.
"No", she said. "He's out."
"Then we cannot come in", they replied.
In the evening, when her husband came home, she told him what had happened. "Go tell them I am home and invite them in!" The woman went out and invited the men in.
"We do not go into a House together," they replied.
"Why is that?" she wanted to know.
One of the old men explained, "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, "He is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."
The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. "How nice!!", he said. "Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!"
His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?"
Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion, "Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with Love!"
"Let us heed our daughter-in-law's advice," said the husband to his wife. "Go out and invite Love to be our guest."
The woman went out and asked the three old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest." Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other two also got up and followed him.
Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success, "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?"
The old men replied together, "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!"
OUR WISH FOR YOU...
Where there is pain,
We wish you peace and mercy.
Where there is self-doubting,
We wish you a renewed confidence in your ability to work through them.
Where there is tiredness or exhaustion,
We wish you understanding, patience, and renewed strength.
Where there is fear,
We wish you love and courage.

There Are Many Ways To Live Your Life
This is how I want to live it. It may not be how I live, but it is the way I want to live.
I want to live my life in such a way that it will be remembered.
I want to leave an impression on everyone I come in contact with.
I want to live as Thoreau said, "to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and spartan like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to it's lowest terms."
I want to be open and honest with everyone, to be remembered by my actions.
I want to lead my life in such a way that I can be respected.
I want to live my life so I can be an example for others.
I want to aspire for greatness but never be famous.
I want to live sure of myself. If I doubt myself, others will too.
I want to live my life in such a way so that in the future I won't regret my past.
I want to believe in myself. I want to capture the strength I have deep inside.
I want to believe in tomorrow and what it might bring.
I want to be able to trust and in turn be trusted.
I want to begin every day thinking this is the beginning of a new day. I can waste it or use it for good.
What I do today is important because I am using a day of my life for it. When tomorrow comes, today will be gone forever leaving in its place, something I traded for it.
I want to be a friend to everyone.
I want to always have a dream.
I want to be remembered for the good I did in my life.
People won't remember what I said, people won't remember what I did, but they will always remember how I made them feel.
"I shall pass through this world, but once. Any good therefore that I can show, to any human being, let me do it now for I shall never pass this way again."
Nathanael Stakland
17 WORDS THAT CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER! by Jerry Clark
I remember several years back I heard something that changed my life forever. Up until that point I had been struggling through life – doing everything the hard way. I couldn’t figure out why my life wasn’t going the way I felt it should be.
I saw some people going through life effortlessly and seemingly with less tension and frustration while I was wondering if I could ever straighten out the mess my life had turned out to be. I was behind on my dreams, my promises, and my bills.
Then one day I was listening to a tape and the lady was talking about the power of having dreams and goals and all of the other stuff that those motivational speakers talk about. By that point I had listened to hundreds of such tapes, but it seemed as if nothing worked for me.
Probably the only reason I was listening to that one was because I had developed a habit of listening to cassette tapes while driving my car. The statement the lady said was simple and I think I had even heard it somewhere before but this time a light bulb went on in my head.
I remember stopping the tape and rewinding it over and over again to hear the 17 words she said. I couldn’t believe it was so basic and simple. I was looking for something sophisticated and complicated. I thought I had to attend a $10,000 seminar. I didn’t know I could find it on a $10 tape program.
I’m taking the time to tell you all of this preliminary information because when I tell you the 17 words, I really want you to get it and get it NOW! Because if you get it NOW, your life will never be the same. You will be using the same principle that all who have became wealthy before you have used.
Even those who became wealthy and can’t tell you how they did use this same principle without even being aware of what they are doing. Well, are you ready for the 17 words that made a powerful and positive impact on my life and on the life of tens of thousands of individuals who have achieved unimaginable success? Of course you are… Well, here they are…
For things to change, you must get a picture of what you want them to change to. Yes, it’s as simple as it sounds and as easy as it seems… Don’t try to make it any complicated than this because it will only frustrate you.
You must know exactly what you want and the more specific and clear you can get, the better. This is important because Human Beings are Teleological in nature… In other words, we move towards the pictures we constantly hold in our minds. Let me give you an example… Suppose you went to the store and bought a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle but it didn’t have a picture on the box of what the end result should look like.
Would you have a much harder time putting the picture together? Of course. You may eventually figure it out; however, the person who has a clear picture of what the end result should look like will be more than 100 times ahead of you.
The question is are they 100 times ahead of you because their IQ is 100 times greater? Is it because they are 100 times better looking than you? Maybe it’s because they live 100 times closer to the person who created the puzzle? Ohh, I know – they were one of the first students to take the Evelyn Woods mind-expanding speed-reading and comprehension course right? If none of this is true then what it?
Yes, the person who had the clear and specific picture of what the outcome was supposed to be was simply operating in accordance to how our brain works. It moves towards the pictures we hold in our mind. It’s interesting because once you know exactly what it is you are moving towards, you seem to automatically know the steps to take or the necessary steps will soon become noticeable.
Your brain, operating similar to a magnet, will start to attract in your direction the conditions, people, and circumstances that will help you move closer to the mental picture you maintain in your mind and it will repel all of those things that do not correlate to the picture you have in your mind.
Therefore, the people who are clear and specific about what they want are using the powers of the Universe to assist them. This is, indeed, an awesome power. A person who knows how and uses this awesome power of the Universe to his or her advantage is a person who is working smart.
A person who struggles every day trying to move closer to the success that they have no idea how it’s supposed to look is a person who is working hard.
Based on your observations over the years, do you think that most people are working hard or working smart? People who just work hard day in and day out without a clear picture of what they are moving towards are about as exciting as a tulip.
Even though they may seem to be willing to work hard and put in the hours, they don’t seem to have much life in them. And people want to follow people who seem to have some life in them. If they want to find people who don’t seem to have much life in them, all they have to do is go to their job. People will follow people who look like they know where they are going and look like they are excited about the journey.
You must understand that your strength comes from knowing what you want. This will ignite the fire inside of you and enable you to borrow from the promise of the future so you can engage in the activities today that will move you closer and closer to what you want. It will enable you to go through the trials and tribulations that may be necessary so you can arrive at your destination.
But remember the journey will be more important than the destination because in the journey you will become the person you require to become to finally arrive at your destination. So when you reach your destination, look at the person you have become and set a new destination so you can continue to grow and develop.
Whatever you do, just always remember that for things to change, you must get a picture of what you want them to change to. These are the 17 Words that Changed My Life Forever… Why not allow them to change yours too… Until Next time… Go, Go, Go!!!
