I am the creator of my own reality.
I am the conjurer of my own mood.
I am the keeper of my own attitude.
I am the releaser of my own vibrational butterflies -
And law of attraction is the master facilitator to match up those frequencies -
And to deliver to me manifestational evidence, for one purpose and one purpose only…
To help me in the deliberateness of my creative endeavour.

You attract more of all those things.

See every difficulty as a challenge, a stepping stone, and never by defeated by anything or anyone.

In politeness, as in many other things connected with the formation of character, people in general begin outside, when they should begin inside; instead of beginning with the heart, and trusting that to form manners, they begin with manners, and trust the heart to chance influences. The golden rule contains the very life and soul of politeness.

This deeper place - your authentic Soul Signature - is where we have to go to find the truth of your being.

Most people search for happiness outside of themselves. That’s a fundamental mistake. Happiness is something you ARE, and it comes from the way you think.

No storm lasts forever.

See the light in others, and treat them as if that is all you see.

Send out love and harmony, put your mind and body in a peaceful place, and then allow the Universe to work in the perfect way that it knows how.

Since the Universe works via the Law of Attraction, when you say, ‘Gimme, gimme, gimme,’ it responds in like fashion. But when you say, ‘How may I share?’ the Universe responds… How may I share with you?

May you build a ladder to the stars and climb on every rung.
May you stay forever young, forever young, forever young.
