Life doesn't consist of debating what you deserve, but dealing with whatever cards you're dealt.

View the world as an abundant, providing, friendly place.  If you do this, you'll see a world that wants you to be successful and abundant, rather than one that conspires against you.

Give to life wxactly what you want life to give to you.

By referring to previous struggles and using them as reasons for not getting on with your life today, you're assigning responsibility to the past for why you can't be successful or happy in the present.

The basics of life:  forgiveness, courage, gratitude, love, and humor. 

Each day, accept everything that comes to you as a gift.  At night, mentally give it all back.  In this way, you become free.  No one can ever take anything from you, for nothing is yours.

Respect others for being different, but not wrong

  Henuine insight can't dawn on a mind that's not open to receive.

  Actual change occurs because of a decision on our part:  the decision to heal, the decision to change.  It doesn't matter so much why you become angry or defensive.

  What matters is that you decide to want to be healed.

  When you're in the middle of an argument, ask yourself:  Do I want to be right or be happy?

Very few of us are taught that we're essentially good.  Very few of us were given a sense of unconditional approval, a feeling that we're precious because of what we are, not what we do.

  Allow others to give you loving care.  Receive without guilt or apologies.

Taking responsibility for our lives means taking responsibility for our thoughts.  Praying to God to "save" our lives means praying to Him to save us from our own negative thoughts.

  Bless and prosper others; and they, in turn, will bless and prosper you.

  It is healing to show emotion.  Feel safe to be vulnerable.
