Let others vibrate as they vibrate and want the best for them. Never mind how they're flowing to you. You concentrate on how you're flowing. Because one who is connected to the Energy Stream is more powerful, more influential than a million who are not.

Miracles shift us from a "get" to a "give" mentality. The desire to get something reflects a core belief that we don't have it already. As long as we believe there is scarcity inside us, we'll continue to manufacture scarcity around us because that is our basic thought. No matter what we get, it will never be enough.

We have but one purpose on this earth, and that is to love one another. With this lesson, we direct the mind to remember that learning to forgive is the purpose for every situation. Forgiveness is the ultimate preventative medicine as well as the greatest healer. We heal the body by remembering that it is not who we really are. We are spirits inhabiting a body.

All of us have things in our past that we are ashamed of; and our greatest hope is that others will see past those mistakes to the person who we are now. Remember to give that same mercy to others that we might receive it for ourselves.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
-- Steve Jobs/co-founder of Apple, Inc..

Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have. And only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.
