“When you are in a continuous state of sharing, the universe- through the Law of Attraction- has no choice but to reciprocate those favors to you.  Therefore, you will always remain in a constant state of receiving.  Isn’t this a wonderful life to live!” — Penna

In order to be in the flow of a continuous state of receiving, we must be in a continuous state of sharing.  We always demand what we do not deserve.  And,…

“We advance on our journey only when we face our goal, when we are confident and believe we are going to win out.” — Orison Swett Marden

Building confidence is about prevailing on our journeys.  It’s easy to want to give up on our goals when we are faced with so many challenges; especially in the onset- the very beginning of our tread.  This is precisely why quitters are not winners, because winners keep going.  Winners outright…

“We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.” –Swami Vivekananda

The words that you speak about yourself, other people, and situations in your life are like putting in an order at a restaurant: They determine what you receive in return. When you speak thoughtfully, your life is filled with loving, harmonious experiences. When you speak harshly, negative energy is the result.

Words…

“To become different from what we are, we must have some awareness of what we are.” — Eric Hoffer

We are not awake, aware, conscious.  Are we?  We are only sleepwalking; and, we deaden ourselves by sleepwalking through our days.

What does it profit us to kill time just to get by while we wait for the weekend or the next summer vacation and consequently overlook the miracle of the present moment?  Life is a miracle to…

“Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.” — James F. Byrnes

We are so backwards in life.  We befriend people according to if, what, how and when they can do for us.  We are self-indulged, self-centered, self-serving beings.  We do not know how to take the time to care for others because of our own emotionally addictive needs.  We do not even care how to take the time for others because…

“Life is like a hand of cards. You have to play the hand you’re dealt, you can’t win by folding, and sometimes you must take chances in order to win.” — Mike Conner

No one who has ever really lived life has said that life is easy. Life is not. Sometimes, what we fail to realize is, life was not designed to be easy. We all came here to make corrections; we came here to spiritually mature,…

“Your karma is based on who, what and where you are plugged into.  This is why it is a good idea to always be consciously aware of where you place your energy.  Are you aware of where your energy is right now?” — Penna

The reality of something happening in your life is all a matter of whether you are plugged into it or not.  Most people buy into the many commercials of aging, illnesses, disease, the…

“People who don’t feel the need to prove themselves- more or less have stopped growing.” — Penna

I was in a conversation with a man recently who repeatedly said to me, “I don’t have to prove myself to anyone.  If a person cannot accept me the way that I am, then I don’t care.  I’m fine just the way that I am.”

He’s right, he is fine the way that he is.  But, when he was speaking…

“One who limits himself to his chosen mode of ignorance.” — Elbert Hubbard

As nice as we would like to be to people, sometimes it’s best to just walk away from them.  If a person is not on your level, but you want to bring them up, and they are committed to staying right where they are, then you may just have to say “farewell” to them.

People don’t really want to change.  If they did, then…

“Most of us, most of the time, are so perplexed about life. We are chaotically caught up- just like deer in headlights.” — Penna

Because of our own emotionally addictive needs, we constantly fall back into Default Thinking.  We become so incredibly wrapped up in life, so bewildered. We become caught up on other people, caught up on frivolous things, caught up on circumstantial situations; we even become caught up and stuck on ourselves.  We are stuck…
