someone to love,
something to do, and
something to hope for.” ― Tom Bodett
When you are sad, anxious, feeling guilty
or otherwise tempted
know this need not be.Say this to yourself as sincerely as you can,
remembering that the Holy Spirit will respond fully
to your slightest invitation:
I must have decided wrongly, because I am not at peace.I made the decision myself, but I can also decide otherwise.I want to decide otherwise, because I want to be at peace.I do not feel guilty, because the Holy Spirit will undo all theconsequencesof my wrong decision if I will let him.I choose to let him, by allowing him to decide for God for me.ACiM Text - Chapter Five - Healing and Wholeness - The Decision for God
Likewise, with rich results - as long as we are correctly tuned in, by using Mental Pictures, we need not concern ourselves at all with results. They arrive all by themselves, easily and naturally." Vernon Linwood Howard
you will know when to let go.

Make a gift of your life and lift all...by being kind, considerate, forgiving, and compassionate at all times, in all places, and under all conditions, with everyone as well as yourself. This is the greatest gift anyone can give. David R(amon) Hawkins

“It is utter stillness. Such is the form and shape of your original mind. Your own nature is essentially pure and utterly still.” ~ Hui Hai
"Men seek retreats for themselves: houses in the country, seashores and mountains; and thou too art wont to desire such things very much," said Marcus Aurelius. "But this is altogether a mark of the most common sort of men, for it is in thy power whenever thou shalt choose to retire into thyself. For nowhere, either with more quiet or more freedom from trouble, does a man retire than into his own soul, particularly when he has within him such thoughts that by looking into them he is immediately in perfect tranquility; and I affirm that tranquility is nothing else than the good ordering of the mind. Constantly then give to thyself this retreat, and renew thyself.. . ." (Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, translated by George Long, Mount Vernon, N.Y., Peter Pauper Press.)
A prospector climbed a mountain to seek gold. On the way up he fell down and struck his head. In his dizziness he imagined he had found hundreds of gold nuggets. So wandering around town, he offered non-existent gold to everyone he met. He was completely unaware of what he was doing.
A few days later he fell down once more, but this blow cleared his head. In shock and dismay he realized his former folly. 'How incredible of me to imagine I possessed gold,' he told himself.
Then an astonishing thing happened. Once realizing he did not possess gold he began to find gold nuggets.
Spiritual riches follow awareness of poverty. That is the one and only order of things.
Anyone can see the difference between real and imaginary inner riches. He can inquire, 'Do I feel rich when all by myself, or do I constantly need others to reassure me?'" VH
