Many spiritual traditions emphasize living in the here and now, as well as the power of presence and mindfulness.

What I suggest is that occasionally, mindfulness is well applied in doing some future planning.

So today I invite you to take a moment to envision your life five years from now in the most exquisite life-giving, fulfilling picture that you can imagine from where you’re standing.

What would you love to create?

Then begin to use that idea, that dream, as a roadmap for the choices you make, the plans…

We become what we think about.

We become what we think about, and for each of us there must be a constant stream of new thought, better thought, truer thought — to ensure progression in our lives.

Just as you can count on a well-tended crop producing, your life will absolutely produce the results you have planted by using your thoughts.

Make sure the thoughts you are planting will produce the crop you wish to have, as a result.

May (a loved one’s name) be happy.
May (a loved one’s name) be peaceful.
May (a loved one’s name) be prospered.
May (a loved one’s name) be well.
May (a loved one’s name) walk with God.
I wish you well (a loved one’s name) .
May (an “enemy”*) be happy.
May (an “enemy”) be peaceful.
May (an “enemy”) be prospered.
May (an “enemy”) be well.
May (an “enemy”) walk with God.
I wish you well (an “enemy”).

*An “enemy” is one with whom you…

It was Edison who said that great ideas originate in the muscles.

Great ideas originate in the muscles — if we move our bodies, it moves blood; it promotes circulation.

This movement and increased flow occurs not just in our muscles but in our brain, from which great ideas originate.

If we will just move our bodies a little bit more than we’re used to we can start a movement for good.

Maybe we take three big stretches today, do a couple of sit-ups, or whatever it is that would…

You have Life energy in you.

Living — with all its attributes — is something that doesn’t just happen to touch a fortunate few.

You have life energy in you. It is simply seeking your awareness and direction through intelligent use of the power of your thought, for the good you desire to experience and give.

Life, according to Spiritual Law, that patterns invisible substance into the outward pattern of your inward thinking, will manifest through you in a particular way that is uniquely suited to what you focus upon.
