LIVE IN TODAY (THE POWER OF NOW)

  

                              SALUTATION TO THE DAWN

                       LOOK TO THIS DAY!

                       FOR IT IS LIFE, THE VERY LIFE OF LIFE.

                       IN ITS BRIEF COURSE

                       LIE ALL THE VERITIES AND REALITIES OF YOUR EXISTENCE

                              THE BLISS OF GROWTH THE GLORY OF ACTION THE SPLENDER OF                                          ACHIEVEMENT,

                            FOR YESTERDAY IS BUT A DREAM AND TOMORROW IS ONLY A                                                         VISION,

                             BUT TODAY WELL LIVED MAKES EVERY YESTERDAY A DREAM OF                                          HAPPINESS

                         AND EVERY TOMORROW A VISION OF HOPE.

                         LOOK WELL, THEREFORE, TO THIS DAY!

                         SUCH IS THE SALUTATION TO THE DAWN.

               SO THE FIRST THING YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT WORRY IS THIS, IF YOU WANT TO KEEP IT OUT OF YOUR LIFE, DO WHAT SIR WILLIAM OSLER DID:

             * SHUT THE IRON DOORS ON THE PAST AND THE FUTURE. LIVE IN DAY-TIGHT COMPARTMENTS.

             * WHY NOT ASK YOURSELF THESED QUESTIONS, AND WRITE DOWN THE ANSWERS?

            * DO I TEND TO PUT OFF LIVING IN THE PRESENT IN ORDER TO WORRY ABOUT THE FUTURE, OR TO YEARN FOR SOME MAGICAL ROSE GARDEN OVER THE HORIZON?

             * DO I SOMETIMES EMBITTER THE PRESENT BY REGRETTING THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST - THAT ARE OVER AND DONE WITH?

               * DO I GET UP IN THE MORNING DETERMINED TO "SEIZE THE DAY"- TO GET THE UTMOST OUT OF THESE TWENTY-FOUR HOURS?

               * CAN I GET MORE OUT OF LIFE BY "LIVING IN DAY-TIGHT COMPARTMENTS"?

               * WHEN SHALL I START TO DO THIS? NEXT WEEK?... TOMORROW?.... TODAY?

                * EVERY DAY BRINGS A CHOICE, TO PRACTICE STRESS OR TO PRACTICE PEAC"

                                                                                           ---- JOAN BORYSENKO

                             LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING. YOU HAD BETTER ENJOY IT BECAUSE THE NEXT DAY PROMISES   NOTHING.

                                                                                                      --- ERIC DAVIS

                   WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS,

                    ALL OUR SINS AND GRIEFS TO BEAR!

                    WHAT A PRIVILEGE TO CARRY

                    EVERYTHING TO GOD IN PRAYER,

                    OH, WHAT PEACE WE OFTEN FORFEIT

                    OH, WHAT NEEDLESS PAINS WE BEAR

                    ALL BECAUSE WE DO NOT CARRY

                   EVERYTHING TO GOD IN PRAYER!

ANYTHING POSSIBLE

 

                                

                                         IMAGINATION

                              "THIS WORLD IS BUT A CANVAS TO OUR IMAGINATIONS"

                   WHEN YOU IMAGINE ANYTHING POSITIVE THAT YOU WANT AND LOVE, YOU ARE HARNESSING THE FORCE OF LOVE. WHEN YOU IMAGINE SOMETHING POSITIVE, SOMETHING GOOD, AND YOU FEEL LOVE FOR IT, THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE GIVING - AND THAT IS WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE. IF YOU CAN IMAGINE IT AND FEEL IT. THEN YOU CAN RECEIVE IT. BUT WHAT YOU'RE IMAGINING MUST COME FROM LOVE!

                     WHATEVER YOU'RE IMAGINING MUST NOT HARM ANOTHER PERSON. IMAGINING SOMETHING THAT BRINGS HARM TO ANOTHER PERSON COMES NOT FROM LOVE BUT FROM A LACK OF LOVE. AND WITH CERTAINLY ANY NEGATIVITY, EVEN IMAGINED, WILL TURN BACK WITH AN EQUAL FEROCITY ON THE PERSON WHO SENT IT! WHATEVER YOU GIVE, YOU RECEIVE BACK.

                    BUT I WANT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING FANTASTIC ABOUT THE FORCE OF LOVE AND YOUR IMAGINATION. THE HIGHEST AND BEST THING YOU THINK IT POSSIBLE IS NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT THE FORCE OF LOVE CAN GIVE TO YOU. LOVE HAS NO LIMIT ! IF YOU WANT TO BE FULL OF VITALITY AND HAPPINESS, WITH AN INCREDIBLE ZEST OF LIFE, THE FORCE OF YOU CAN GIVE YOU HEALTH AND HAPPINESS AT LEVELS FAR BEYOND WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN. I AM TELLING YOU THIS SO THAT YOU CAN START TO BREAK THE BOUNDARIES OF YOUR IMAGINATION AND STOP PUTTING LIMITS ON YOUR LIFE. PUSH YOUR IMAGINATION TO THE LIMITS, AND IMAGINE THE BEST AND HIGHEST THAT YOU POSSIBLY CAN OF WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU WANT.

                 THE DIFFERENT BETWEEN SOMEONE WHO IS STRUGGLING AND SOMEONE WHO HAS A FABULOUS LIFE COMES DOWN TO ONE THING LOVE. THOSE WHO HAVE GREAT LIFE IMAGINE WHAT THEY LOVE AND WANT, AND THEY FEEL THE LOVE OF WHAT THEY'RE IMAGINING MORE THAN OTHER PEOPLE! PEOPLE WHO ARE STRUGGLING ARE UNINTENTIONALLY USING THEIR IMAGINATION FOR WHAT THEY DON'T LOVE AND DON'T WANT, AND ARE FEELING THE NEGATIVITY OF WHAT THEY'RE IMAGINING. IT'S SUCH A SIMPLE THING, BUT IT CREATES VAST DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLE'S LIVES, AND YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK.

                       THE SECRET OF THE MASTER MIND IS FOUND WHOLLY

                       IN THE USE OF IMAGINATION.

                                                                                       ---- CHRISTIAN D. LARSON

                        HISTORY HAS PROVEN THAT THOSE WHO DARE TO IMAGINE THE IMPOSSIBLE ARE THE ONES WHO BREAK ALL HUMAN LIMITATIONS. IN EVERY FIELD OF HUMAN ENDEAVOR, WHETHER SCIENCE, MEDICINE, SPORTS, THE ARTS, OR TECHNOLOGY, THE NAMES OF THE PEOPLE WHO IMAGINED THE IMPOSSIBLE ARE ENGRAVED IN OUR HISTORY. BY BREAKING THE LIMITS OF THEIR IMAGINATION, THEY CHANGED THE WORLD.

                    YOUR ENTIRE LIFE'S WHAT YOU HAVE IMAGINED IT TO BE. EVERYTHING YOU HAVE OR DONT' HAVE, EVERY SITUATIONAND CIRCUMSTANCE OF YOUR LIFE IS WHAT YOU HAVE IMAGINED IT TO BE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT MANY PEOPLE IMAGINE THE WORST! THEY'RE TURNING THE MOST WONDERFUL TOOL AGAINST THEMSELVES. INSTEAD OF IMAGINING THE BEST, MANY PEOPLE ARE IN FEAR AND IMAGINE ALL THE THINGS THAT CAN GO WRONG. AND AS SURELY AS THEY KEEP IMAGINING AND FEELING THOSE THINGS, THEY HAPPEN. WHATEVER YOU GIVE, YOU RECEIVE. FEEL AND IMAGINE THE BEST AND THE HIGHEST YOU CAN IN RECEIVE. FEEL AND IMAGINE THE BEST AND THE HIGHEST YOU CAN IN EVERY AREA OF YOUR LIFE, BECAUSE THE BEST YOU CAN IMAGINE IS A "PIECE OF CAKE" FOR THE FORCE OF LOVE!.

                  WHEN MY FAMILY HAD SETTLED IN THE UNITED STATES, WE FLEW OUR FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD DOG. CABBIE, TO BE WITH US. ONE NIGHT, NOT LONG AFTER CABBIE HAD ARRIVED, HE MANAGED TO GET OUT OF A SMALL GAP IN THE FENCE. OUR HOME BACKS ONTO MOUNTAINS, SO IT WAS FAR FROM AN IDEAL SITUATION. IN THE DARK WE SEARCHED THE STREETSAND THE TRAILS LEADING UP TO THE MOUNTAINS, BUT OUR DOG WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.

                 IN OUR UNIVERSE WE ARE TUNED INTO THE FREQUENCY

                THAT CORRESPONDS TO PHYSICAL REALITY. BUT THERE ARE 

               AN INFINIT NUMBER OF PARALLEL REALITIES COEXISTING

                WITH US IN THE SAME ROOM, ALTHOUGH WE CANNOT

                TUNE INTO THEM.

                                                                                            --- STEREN WEINBERG

               

                               YOU MAY THINK THERE'S A SHORTAGE OF TIME IN THE REAL WORLD, AND BECAUSE OF THAT YOU MAY LIVE YOUR LIFE RUSHING AGAINST TIME, BUT THE GREAT SCIENTIST ALBER EINSTEIN TOLD US THAT TIME IS AN ILLUSION.

                           THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE 

                            IS ONLY A STUBBORNLY PERSISTANT ILLUSION.

                         YOU MAY THINK THAT THE REAL WORLD IS MADE UP OF LIVIN THINGS AND DEAD THINGS. BUT IN THE UNIVERSE EVERYTHING IS ALIVE AND NOTHING IS DEAD. THE STARS, SUN, PLANETS, EARTH, AIR, WATER, FIRE, AND EVERY OBJECT YOU SEE IS SEETHING WITH LIFE. THIS IS THE REAL WORLD THAT IS EMERGING.

                    THERE IS A SENSE IN THE TREE WHICH FEELS YOUR LOVE AND

                    RESPONDS TO IT. IT DOES NOT RESPOND OR SHOW ITS PLEASURE 

                    IN OUR WAY OR IN ANY WAY WE CAN NOW UNDERSTAND.

THE KEY OF GRATITUDE

 

                    GRATITUDE KEEPS

                                   YOU WITH POWER

                     YOU CANNOT EXERCISE MUCH POWER WITHOUT GRATITUDE 

                     BECAUSE IT IS GRATITUDE THAT KEEPS YOU CONNECTED 

                      WITH POWER.

                                                                                 ----- WALLACE WALLER

                         I KNOW OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN THE WORST IMAGINABLE  SITUATIONS WHO HAVE CHANGED THEIR LIVES COMPLETELY THROUGH GRATITUDE. I KNOW OF MIRACLES THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE IN HEALTH WHERE THERE SEEMED TO BE NO HOPE FAILED KIDNEYS REGERATE, DISEASE HEARTS HEAL, EYESIGHT IS RESTORED, TUMORS DISSAPEAR, AND BONES GROW AND REBUILD THEMSELVES. I KNOW OF BROKEN RELATIONSHIPS THAT HAVE TRANSFORMED INTO MAGNIFICENT ONES THROUGH GRATITUDE. FAILED MARRIAGES COMPLETELY RESTORED, THROUGH GRATITUDE: FAILED MARRIAGES COMPLETELY RESTORED, ESTRANGED FAMILY MEMBERS REUNITES, PARENTS TRANSFORMING RELATIONSHIPS WITH CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS, AND TEACHERS TRANSFORMING STUDENTS. I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE WHO WERE IN TEACHERS TRANSFORMING STUDENTS. I HAVE PEOPLE WHO WERE IN TOTAL POVERTY BECOME WEALTHY THROUGH GRATITUDE, PEOPLE TURNED AROUND FAILING BUSINESS, AND PEOPLE WHO HAD STRUGGLED WITH MONEY ALL THEIR LIVES CREATED ABUNDANCE. SOMEONE EVEN WENT FROM LIVING ON THE STREETS TO HAVING A JOB AND A HOME IN A WEEK. I KNOW OF PEOPLE WHO WERE IN DEPRESSION WHO CATAPULTED INTO JOYFUL AND FULFILLING LIVES THROUGH GRATITUDE. PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUFFERED FROM ANXIETY AND EVERY KIND OF MENTAL ILLNESS HAVE RESTORED THEMSELVES TO PERFECT MENTAL HEALTH THROUGH GRATITUDE.

                      EVERY SINGLE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD USED GRATITUDE, BECAUSE THEY ALL KNEWTHAT GRATITUDE WAS ONE OF THE HIGHEST EXPRESSIONS OF LOVE. THEY KNEW THAT WHEN THEY WERE GRATEFUL, THEY WERE LIVING IN EXACT ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW. WHY DO YOU THINK JESUS SAID THANK YOU BEFORE HE PERFORMED EVERY MIRACLE?

                   EVERY TIME YOU FEEL GRATEFUL YOU ARE GIVING LOVE, AND WHATEVER YOU GIVE, YOU RECEIVE. WHETHER YOU'RE GIVING THANKS TO A PERSON OR FEELING GRATEFUL FOR A CAR, A VACATION, A SUNSET, A GIFT, A NEW HOUSE, OR AN EXCITING EVENT, YOU ARE GIVING LOVE FOR THOSE THINGS, AND YOU WILL RECEIVE BACK MORE JOY, INCREDIBLE RELATIONSHIPS, MORE OPPORTUNITIES.

                TRY IT NOW. THINK OF SOMETHING OR SOMEONE YOU'RED GRATEFUL FOR. YOU COULD CHOOSE THE PERSON YOU LOVE MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD. FOCUSE ON THAT PERSON AND THINK ABOUT ALL THE THINGS YOU LOVE AND ARE GRATEFUL FOR ABOUT THEM, AS THOUGH THEY WERE THERE WITH YOU. TELL THEM ALL THE REASONS YOU LOVE THEM. YOU CAN RECALL PARTICULAR INSTANCES OR MOMENTS BY SAYING, REMEMBER THE TIME WHEN.. AS YOU'RE DOING IT,  FEEL THE GRATITUDE BEGIN TO FILL YOUR HEART AND BODY.

                    THE LOVE YOU GAV E IN THAT SIMPLE EXERCISE MUST AND WILL RETURN TO  YOU IN THE RELATIONSHIP, AND IN YOUR WHOLE LIFE. THAT IS HOW EASY IT IS TO GIVE LOVE THROUGH GRATITUDE.

                     ALBERT EINSTEIN WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST SCIENTISTS WHO EVER LIVED. HIS DISCOVERIES COMPLETELY CHANGED THE WAY WE SEE THE UNIVERSE. AND WHEN ASKED ABOUT HIS MONUMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS, EINSTEIN SPOKE ONLY OF GIVING THANKS TO OTHERS. ONE OF THE MOST BRILLIANT MINDS THAT HAS EVER LIVED THANKED OTHERS FOR WHAT THEY HAD GIVEN TO HIM - A HUNDRED TIMES A DAY! THAT MEANS AT LEAST A HUNDRED TIMES A DAY, EINSTEIN GAVE LOVE. IS IT ANY WONDER THAT LIFE REVEALED SO MANY OF ITS MYSTERIES TO ALBERT EINSTEIN?

                         A HUNDRED TIMES EVERY DAY I REMIND MYSELF THAT

                         MY INNER AND OUTER LIFE DEPEND ON THE LABORS OF 

                         OTHER MAN, LIVING AND DEAD, AND THAT I MUST EXERT

                         MYSELF IN ORDER TO GIVE IN THE SAME MEASURE AS

                         I HAVE RECEIVED AND AM STILL RECEIVING.

                                                                                               ------ ALBERT EINSTEIN

THE POWER AND YOU

 

                           ARE YOU KNOW YOUR POWER

                 ' THE POWER FOR HAPPINESS, FOR GOOD, FOR EVERYTHING

                  WE NEED OF LIFE IS WITHIN EACH ONE OF US. THE POWER

                  IS THERE - UNLIMITED POWERZ'.

                                                                                            --- ROBERT COLLIER

                         EVERYTHING HAS A FREQUENCY - EVERYTHING! EVERY WORD HAS A FREQUENCY, EVERY SOUND, EVERY COLOR, EVERY TREE, ANIMAL, PLANT, MINERAL, EVERY MATERIAL OBJECT. EVERY TYPE OF FOOD AND LIQUID HAS A FREQUENCY. EVERY PLACE, CITY AND COUNTRY HAS A FREQUENCY. THE ELEMENTS OF AIR, FIRE, EARTH, AND WATER ALL HAVE FREQUENCIES. HEALTH, DISEASE, PLENTY OF MONEY, A LACK OR MONEY, SUCCESS AND FAILURE ALL HAVE FREQUENCIES. EVERY EVENT, SITUATION, AND CIRCUMSTANCE HAS A FREQUENCY. EVEN YOUR NAME HAS A FREQUENCY. BUT THE REAL NAME OF YOUR FREQUENCY IS WHAT YOU ARE FEELING! AND WHATEVER YOU'RE FEELING IS BRINGING EVERYTHING INTO YOUR LIFE THAT'S ON A SIMILAR FREQUENCY TO YOU.

                         WHEN YOU ARE FEELING HAPPY, AND KEEP FEELING HAPPY, THEN ONLY HAPPY PEOPLE, CIRCUMSTANCES, AND EVENTS CAN COME INTO YOUR LIFE. IF YOU FEEL STRESSED, AND YOU KEEP FEELING STRESSED , THEN ONLY MORE STRESS CAN INTO YOUR LIFE THROUGH PEOPLE, CIRCUMSTANCES, AND EVENTS. YOU HAVE SEEN THIS HAPPEN WHEN YOU'VE BEEN RUSHING BECAUSE YOU'RE RUNNING LATE. RUSHING IS A NEGATIVE FEELING, AND AS SURELY AS THE SUN SHINES, WHEN YOU RUSH AND FEEL THE FEAR OF BEING LATE, YOU BRING EVERY DELAY AND OBSTACLES INTO YOUR PATH. IT'S THE LAW OF ATTRACTION WORKING IN YOUR LIFE.

                   DO YOU SEE HOW IMPORTANT IT IS THAT YOU FEEL GOOD BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR DAY? IF YOU DON'T TAKE THE TIME TO FEEL GOOD, THEN YOU CAN'T RECEIVE GOOD THINGS IN YOUR DAY. AND ONCE NEGATIVE THINGS COME, IT TAKES FAR MORE EFFORT TO CHANGE THEM, BECAUSE ONCE THEY'RE IN FRONT OF YOU, YOU REALLY BELIEVE IN THEM! IT IS MUCH EASIER TO TAKE THE TIME TO FEEL GOOD SO THAT THEY DON'T COME IN THE FIRST PLACE. YOU CAN CHANGE ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE BY CHANGING IN THE FIRST PLACE. YOU CAN CHANGE ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE BY CHANGING WAY YOU FEEL, BUT ISN'T IT A BETTER IDEA TO HAVE MORE GOOD THINGS COME TO YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE?

                    POINTS OF POWER

                    * WHAT YOU CONTINUALLY GIVE TO YOUR BODY WITH YOUR BELIEFS OR STRONG FEELINGS, YOU RECEIVE IN YOUR BODY. EVERY FEELING YOU HAVE SATURATES EVERY CELL AND ORGAN IN YOUR ENTIRE BODY.

                   * YOU ARE THE RULER OF A KINGDOM, AND YOUR CELLS ARE YOUR MOST LOYAL SUBJECTS WHO SERVE YOU WITHOUT QUESTION, SO WHATEVER YOU THINK AND FEEL BECOMES THE LAW OF YOUR KINGDOM - THE LAW WITHIN YOUR BODY.

                 * WHEN YOU GIVE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS OF WHAT YOU DON'T WANT, THE FORCE OF HEALTH TO YOUR CELLLS REDUCES! WHEN YOU FEEL LOVE FOR ANYTHING - FOR A SUNNY DAY, NEW HOUSE, FRIEND, OR PROMOTION - YOUR BODY RECEIVES THE FULL FORCE OF HEALTH.

                 * GRATITUDE IS THE GREAT MULTIPLIER, SO SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR HEALTH EVERY SINGLE DAY.

                 * SAY THANK YOU WITH ALL HEART FOR WHAT YOU DO LIKE ABOUT YOUR BODY, AND IGNORE THE THINGS YOU DON'T LIKED.

                  * TO SEE YOUR HEALTH IMPROVE, GIVE LOVE TO HEALTH MORE THAN FIFTY PERCENT OF THE TIME. JUST 51 PERCENT IS THE TIPPING POINT FROM SICKNESS TO HEALTH.

                  * IF YOU ARE FACING ILLNESS, DO YOUR BEST NOT TO OWN IT WITH YOUR THOUGHTS AND WORDS. INSTEAD, GIVE LOVE TO HEALTH, OWN HEALTH, AND MAKE IT YOURS.

                   * GIVE LOVE FOR THE PERFECT WEIGHT, PERFECT BODY, PERFECT HEALTH OR AN ORGAN, AND IMAGINE HABVING IT, AND BE UTTERLY GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO HAVE!

                    * IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOUR BODY WILL DETERIORATE WITH AGE, YOU ARE GIVING OUT THAT BELIEF, AND THE LAW OF ATTRACTION MUST RETURN THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES TO YOU.

                     * FEEL YOUNG AND STOP FEELING YOUR AGE.

                     * YOUR BODY WILL CHANGE INTO WHATEVER YOU WANT, THROUGH YOUR FEELINGS OF LOVE AND GRATITUDE.

                          THE POWER OF YOUR HEART'

                       IN SOME SENSE MAN IS A MICROCOSM OF THE UNIVERSE,

                       THEREFORE WHAT MAN IS, IS A CLUE TO THE UNIVERSE.

                                                                                                 --- DAVID BOHM

                     THE INSIDE OF YOUR BODY IS AN EXACT MAP OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM AND THE UNIVERSE. YOUR HEART IS THE SUN AND THE CENTER OF YOUR BODY SYSTEM. YOUR ORGANS ARE THE PLANETS, AND JUST AS THE PLANETS DEPEND ON THE SUN TO REMAIN IN BALANCE AND HARMONY, SO DO ALL THE ORGANS IN YOUR BODY DEPEND ON YOUR HEART TO REMAIN IN BALANCE AND HARMONY.

                     SCIENTISTS AT THE INSTITUDE OF HEART MATH IN CALIFORNIA HAVE SHOWN THAT FEELING LOVE, GRATITUDE, AND APPRECIATION, IN YOUR HEART BOOSTS YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM, INCREASES VITAL CHEMICAL PRODUCTION. INCREASES PHYSICAL VITALITY AND VIGOR, REDUCES STRESS HORMONE LEVELS, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, ANXIETY, GUILT, AND BURNOUT, AND IMPROVES GLUCOSE REGULATION IN DIABETICS. FEELINGS OF LOVE ALSO CREATE A HIGHER DEGREE OF HARMONY IN THE RHYTHM OF YOUR HEART. HEARTMATH HAS SHOWN THAT THE MAGNETIC FIELD OF THE HEART IS 5000 TIMES MORE POWERFUL THAN THE MAGNETIC FIELD OF THE BRAIN, AND REACHES OUT SEVERAL FEET FROM OUR BODY.

                   OTHER SCIENTISTS ARE REVOLUTIONAZING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE AFFECT OF LOVE ON OUR HEALTH, THROUGH EXPERIMENTS WITH WATER. WHAT DOES WATER HAVE TO DO WITH HEALTH? YOUR BODY IS MADE UP OR 70 PERCENT WATER! THE INSIDE OF YOUR HEAD IS 80 PERCENT WATER!

                   RESEARCHERS IN JAPAN, RUSSIA, EUROPE, AND THE UNITED STATES HAVE DISCOVERED THAT WHEN WATERIS EXPOSED TO POSITIVE WORDS AND FEELINGS SUCH AS LOVE AND GRATITUDE, AND ENERGY LEVEL OF THE WATER NOT ONLY INCREASES, BUT THE STRUCTURE OF THE WATER CHANGES, MAKING IT PERFECTLY HARMONIOUS. THE HIGHER THE POSITIVE FEELING, THE MORE BEAUTIFUL AND HARMONIOUS THE WATER BECOMES. WHEN WATER IS EXPOSED TO NEGATIVE EMOTIONS, SUCH AS HATE, THE ENERGY OF THE WATER DECREASES, AND CHAOTIC CHANGES OCCUR, NEGATIVELY AFFECTING THE STRUCTURE OF THE WATER.

                    IF HUMAN EMOTIONS CAN CHANGE THE STRUCTURE OF WATER, CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT YOUR FEELINGS ARE DOING TO THE HEALTH OF YOUR BODY? YOUR CELLS ARE MADE OF MOSTLY WATER ! THE CENTER OF EVERY CELL IS WATER, AND EACH CELL IS COMPLETELY SURROUNDED BY A LATER OF WATER.

                     CAN YOU IMAGINE THE IMPACT OF LOVE ADN GRATITUDE ON YOUR BODY? CAN YOU IMAGINE THE POWER OF LOVE AND GRATITUDE TO RESTORE HEALTH? WHEN YOU FEEL LOVE, YOUR LOVE AFFECTS THE WATER OF THE 100 TRILLION CELLS IN YOUR BODY!

SITUATIONAL SELF-TALK

 

                              SELF-HELP TECHNIQUE

                           WHEN I FIRST EXPLORED THE USE OF "SITUATIONAL" SELF-TALK, I COULDN'T HELP BUT WONDER IF IT WAS POSSIBLE THAT SOMETHING SO SIMPLE COULD WORK SO WELL. I WAS AWARE FROM STUDYING  AND OBSERVING MANY DIFFERENT SELF-HELP TECHNIQUE, HOWEVER, THAT THE MOST EFFECTIVE TECHNIQUE WERE USUALLY THE SIMPLEST AND THE EASIEST TO USE. THAT DISCRIPTION FITS SITUATIONAL SELF-TALK PERFECTLY. IF THIS FORM OF SELF-TALK SEEMS TOO UNCOMPLICATED TO BE VALUABLE. I URGUE YOU TO TRY IT FOR YOURSELF FOR THE NEXT THREE WEEKS. BY THE END OF THAT TIME, YOU SHOULD ALREADY FOR FORMING THE HABIT OF DOING IT - AND IT WILL NO LONGER SEEM UNIMPORTANT. IT WILL BECOME ONE OF YOUR STRONGEST ALLIES IN YOUR OWN PERSONAL GROWTH AND SUCCESS. WHAT IS THIS SIMPLE KEY THE UNLOCKS SUCH A GREAT TREASURE?

                       MAKE AN INSTANT ADJUSTMENT

                          A FRIEND OF MINE RELATED THE STORY OF HER AUNT, WHO, ALTHOUGH SHE DID NOT LIKE TO COOK, HAD TO DO SO TO TAKE CARE OF HER FAMILY. EACH TIME THE AUNT WENT INTO THE KITCHEN TO BEGIN PREPARING A MEAL, SHE WOULD SAY OUT LOUD. THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN. I'M GOING TO HAVE A GOOD TIME COOKING TODAY. WHEN IT COMES TO WIRING YOUR BRAIN, THINK ABOUT THE EFFECT OF REPEATING THAT KIND OF STATEMENT. BY GIVING HERSELF A FEW SIMPLE WORDS OF SELF-TALK, THAT WOMAN CHANGED A CHORE INTO A PLEASANT TASK. SHE DIDN'T CHANGE THE JOB, SHE CHANGED HOW SHE FELT ABOUT IT.

                 THAT IS SITUATIONAL SELF-TALK. IT IS THE KIND OF SELF-TALK THAT ADJUSTS SITUATIONS BY ADJUSTING HOW WE LOOK AT THEM. IT IS A PRACTICAL, IMMEDIATE, NOW KIND OF SELF-TALK THAT YOU CAN CALL ON AT ANY TIME AND IT WILL COME TO YOUR AID THE MOMENT YOU USE IT.

                   SITUATIONAL SELF-TALK DIFFERS FROM THE KIND OF SELF-TALK WE DISCUSSED IN THE LAST FEW CHAPTERS IN THAT IT DOES NOT REQUIRE A "SCRIPT" OF SELF-TALK TO CREATE A RESULT. IT CAN BED ACCOMPLISHED IN A MOMENT, OUT LOUD OR SILENTLY TO YOURSELF. IT CAN BE A SINGLE THOUGHT, OR IT CAN BE A FEW WELL-CHOSEN WORDS.

               SITUATIONAL SELF-TALK DIFFERS FROM THE OTHER FORMS OF POSITIVE SELF-TALK IN THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE PHRASED IN THE PRESENT TENSE ONLY. ITIS ALREADY DEALING WITH THE HERE AND NOW, TODAY OR THE NEAR FUTURE. ITS FIRST OBJECTIVE IS NOT TO TRY TO CREATE A NEW, LONG-TERM INTERNAL PICTURE OF YOURSELF, ITS PRIMARY JOB IS TO DEAL WITH TODAY, TODAY. THE WORDS YOU ARE USING ARE FUTURE TENSE (GOING TO) , BUT THEY ARE STILL DEALING WITH NOW.

                  LIKE THE OTHER KINDS OF SELF-TALK THIS "IN THE MOMENT" FROM MAY HELP YOUR ATTITUDE, OVERPOWER A BAD HABIT, HELP YOU SOLVE A PROBLEM OR REACH A GOAL, OR MOTIVAE YOU TO DO BETTER, BUT IT ACCOMPLISHES THE TASK IN A DIFFERENT WAY.

                  SITUATIONAL SELT-TALK IS USED WHEN YOU ARE CONFRONTED WITH ANY SITUATION THAT YOU WOULD RATHER NOT BE IN, WHEN YOU ARE PRESENTED WITH AN UNEXPECTED OPPORTUNITY THAT REQUIRES YOU IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. IN MOST CASES THIS KIND OF SELF-TALK IS USED TO OVERCOME SOME MOMENTARY CIRCUMSTANCE THAT DISAGREE WITH YOU. I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.

                    YOU ARE AT WORK, AND THE PHONE RINGS. IT IS A CALL FROM SOMEONE YOU'VE BEEN PUTTING OFF TALKING TO, AND YOU KNOW YOU NEED TO TAKE THE CALL. YOU DON'T WANT TO, BUT YOU KNOW THE PROBLEM HAS TO BE MET WITH SOONER OR LATER. YOU HAVE THE CHOICE OF TALK-TIME. BY THEN, THEN PROBLEM PROBABLY WILL HAVE GOTTEN WORSE. WHAT YOU DO NEXT IS YOUR CHOICE, THE DECISION TO TAKE THE CALL OR PUT IT OFF IS ENTIRELY UP TO YOU.

                 IT IS AT A TIME LIKE THIS WHEN JUST A FEW WORDS OF THE RIGHT KIND OF SELF-TALK CAN HELP YOU DO THE RIGHT THING. INSTEAD OF SAYING TO YOURSELF, "OH NO, NOT HIM AGAIN. TELL HIM I'LL CALL HIM BACK, YOU CAN USE SELF-TALK PROBLEM THEN AND THERE. 

                 I LIKE SOLVING PROBLEMS, I ALWAYS DEAL WITH PROBLEMS, AND I

                 NEVER AVOID THEM. I'LL TAKE THE CALL AND I'LL TACKLE THE PROBLEM

                 HEAD-ON.

               I AM OFTEN CONVINCED THAT SITUATIONAL SELF-TALK THIS SEEMINGLY SIMPLEST FORM OF SELF-TALK, IS AT TIMES THE MOST VALUABLE OF ALL. IF YOU ARE CONSCIOUSLY PRACTICING THE OTHER FORMS OF SELF-TALK FOR GETTING YOUR LIFE TOGETHER AND WORKING AT IMPROVING YOURSELF IN OTHER IMPORTANT WAYS, USING SITUATIONAL SELF-TALK BECOMES AN ALMOST AUTOMATIC BY-PRODUCT OF THE OTHER SELFT-TALK YOU ARE USING. BUT UNLESS YOU ARE AWARE OF THIS SPECIAL KIND OF SELF-TALK, YOU MAY NOT RECOGNIZE HOW EASY IT IS TO USE AND HOW MUCH GOOD IT CAN DO FOR YOU.

                       DRIVING YOURSELF 

                             TO DISTRACTION

                           YEARS AGO, I FIT INTO THE CATEGORY OF INDIVIDUALS WHO GIVE THEMSELVES MINOR EMOTIONAL FITS WHEN THEY ARE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. I KNOW PEOPLE WHO VERBALIZE NEAR-OBSCENTIES (ORWORSE) AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS THAT CHANGE AT THE WRONG TIME OR AT OTHER DRIVERS WHO DO THE WRONG THINGS, LIKE PULLING IN FRONT OF THEM OR CUTTING THEM OFF. WHEN THEY ARE GOING SOMEWHERE AND ARE ABOUT TO BE LATE THEY HIT, WITH EQUAL FORCE, THE BAKE, THE GAS PEDAL, AND THE HORN.

                   IT DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE A LOT TO DO WITH HOW IMPORTANT IT IS THAT THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE A LOT TO DO WITH HOW IMPORTANT IT IS THAT THEY DIDN'T GET STARTED ON TIME. BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL ALL VENGEANANCE IS METED OUT WITH EQUAL FURY. AFTER THIS EMOTIONAL DRIVING STYLE BECOMES A HABIT, THESE OTHERWISE FIND INDIVIDUALS GET SO USED TO DRIVING WITH STRESS THAT THEY CLUTCH THE STEERING WHEEL WITH THE SAME INDIANPOLIS 500 GRIP EVEN WHEN THEY AREN'T LATE FOR ANYTHING OR WHEN THEY ARE GOING NOWHERE IN PARTICULA.

                I ENJOY RELAXING WHILE AM DRIVING THE CAR.

                I ALWAYS GIVE MYSELF THE NECCESSARY AMOUNT OF TIME TO GET                                    ANYWHERE

               AM GOING, I ALWAYS ARRIVE AT - THE TIME I NEED TO BE THERE.

               TRAFFIC LIGHTS CHANGE AT THEIR OWN DISCRETION:  NOT MINE. IF THE

               LIGHT CHANGES BEFORE I GET THERE , I WILL STOP. WITH FOR THE LIGHT                    TO CHANGE, AND RELAX WHILE I AM WRITING.

                SHOW-MOVING OR STANDING TRAFFIC IS NOT A PROBLEM TO ME. I ENJOY

               THE TIME I HAVE TO ORGANIZE MY THOUGHTS AND THINK ABOUT THOSE 

               THINGS THAT ARE BENEFICIAL TO ME. I WILL GET THERE WHEN I GET                         THERE.

                   BY PRACTICING THIS EACH TIME THE OPPORTUNITY CAME UP, THE SELF-TALK TOOK HOLD. IN TIME I WIRED NEGATIVE DRIVING SELF-TALK OUT OF MY BRAIN AND REPLACED IT WITH A NEW ATTITUDE THAT STILL DRIVES WITH ME TODAY. IT WAS SO OBVIOUS AND SIMPLE TO DO, I MIGHT HAVE COMPLETELY OVERLOOK IT.

THE WORLD IS UNDER IS LOVE

   

                                      LOVE HAS UNLIMITED

                               WAYS FOR YOU TO RECEIVE

                                 MONEY IS ONLY A TOOL FOR YOU TO EXPERIENCE THE THINGS YOU LOVE IN LIFE. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH MONEY, YOU WILL FEED MUCH MORE LOVE AND JOY THAN WHEN YOU THINK ONLY OF MONEY, IMAGINE BEING WITH WHAT YOU LOVE, DOING WHAT YOU LOVE, AND HAVING THE THINGS YOU LOVE, BECAUSE YOU WILL THEN FEEL FAR MORE LOVE THAN YOU WILL IF YOU ONLY THINK ABOUT MONEY.

                       THE ATTRACTIVE FORCE OF LOVE HAS UNLIMITED WAYS FOR YOU TO RECEIVE WHAT YOU WANT, AND ONLY ONE OF THOSE WAYS INVOLVES MONEY. DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE THINKING THAT MONEY IN THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN RECEIVE SOMETHING. THAT IS LIMITED THINKING AND YOU WILL LIMIT YOUR LIFE!

                        MY SISTER ATTRACTED A NEW CAR THROUGH THE MOST ADVENTUROUS SEQUENCE OF EVENTS. SHE WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND SHE GOT CAUGHT IN A FLASH FLOOD AND HER CAR STOPPED IN THE WATER. AT THE INSISTENCE OF AN EMERGENCY RESCUE WORKER THE WATER . AT THE INSISTENCE OF AN EMERGENCY RESCUE WORKER SHE WAS CARRIED TO DRY LAND, EVEN THOUGHT THE WATER WAS NOT DANGEROUSLY HIGH. SHE LAUGHED HER WAY THROUGH THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE, AND HER RESCUE EVEN MADE THE NIGHTLY TELEVISION NEWS. MY SISTER'S CAR WAS IRREPARABLY DAMAGED BY THE WATER, AND WITHIN TWO WEEKS SHE WAS GIVEN A LARGE CHECK, AND SHE BOUGHT HER DREAM CAR.

                              

                  THE MOST WONDERFUL PART OF THIS STORY IS THAT MY SISTER WAS RENOVATING A HOUSE AT THE TIME, AND SHE DIDN'T HAVE ANY SPARE MONEY FOR A NEW CAR. SHE DIDN'T EVEN IMAGIN HAVING A NEWCAR. SHE DIDN'T EVEN IMAGINE HAVING A NEW CAR. SHE HAD ATTRACTED THE BEAUTIFUL NEW CAR TO HER BECAUSE SHE HAD CRIED TEARS OF JOY WHEN SHE HEARD THE NEWS THAT OUR OTHER SIBLING HAD GOTTEN A NEW CAR. MY SISTER WAS SO HAPPY AND GAVE SO MUCH LOVE FOR OUR SIBLING RECEIVING A NEW CAR THAT THE LAW OF ATTRACTION MOVED EVERY ELEMENT, CIRCUMSTANCES, AND EVENT TO DELIVER A NEW CAR TO HER TOO. THAT IS THE POWER OF LOVE!

                      YOU WILL NOT KNOW HOW YOU WILL RECEIVE WHAT YOU WANT UNTIL YOU RECEIVE IT, BUT THE FORCE OF LOVE KNOWS. GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY, AND HAVE FAITH. IMAGINE WHAT YOU WANT, FEEL THE HAPPINESS INSIDE YOU, AND THE ATTRACTIVE FORCE OF LOVE WILL FIND THE PERFECT WAY FOR YOU TO RECEIVE IT. OUR HUMAN MINDS ARE LIMITED BUT THE INTELLIGENCE OF LOVE IS UNLIMITED. ITS WAYS ARE BEYOND OUR COMPREHENSION. DON'T LIMIT YOUR LIFE BY THINKING MONEY IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET SOMETHING YOU WANT. DON'T MAKE MONEY YOUR ONLY TARGET, BUT MAKE YOUR TARGET WHAT YOU WANT TO BE, DO, OR HAVE. IF YOU WANT A NEW HOME, IMAGINE AND FEEL OF JOY OF LIVING IN IT. IF YOU WANT BEAUTIFUL CLOTHES, APPLIANCES,OR A CAR, IF YOU WANT TO GO TO COLLEGE, MOVE TO ANOTHER COUNTRY, RECEIVE TRAINING IN MUSIC, ACTING, OR A SPORT - IMAGINE IT! ALL THESE THINGS CAN COME TO YOU IN AN UNLIMITED NUMBER OF WAYS.

                                           LOVE RULES

                      THERE IS ONE RULE WITH MONEY, YOU CAN NEVER PUT MONEY AHEAD OF LOVE. IF YOU DO, YOU VIOLATE LOVE'S LAW OF ATTRACTION, AND YOU WILL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES. LOVE MUST BE THE RULING FORCE IN YOUR LIFE. NOTHING CAN EVER BE PUT ABOVE LOVE. MONEY IS A TOOL FOR YOU TO USE, AND YOU BRING IT TO YOURSELF THROUGH LOVE, BUT IF YOU PUT MONEY AHEAD OF LOVE IN YOUR LIFE. IT WILL CAUSE YOU TO RECEIVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF NEGATIVE THINGS. YOU CAN'T GIVE LOVE FOR MONEY AND THEN WALK AROUND BEING RUDE AND NEGATIVE TO PEOPLE, BECAUSE IF YOU DO THAT, YOU OPEN THE DOOR FOR NEGATIVITY TO WALK INTO YOUR RELATIONSHIPS, HEALTH, HAPPINESS, AND FINANCES.

                 " IF YOU REQUIRE LOVE, TRY TO REALIZE THAT THE ONLY

                  WAY TO GET LOVE IS BY GIVING IT, THAT THE MORE YOU

                  GIVE THE MORE YOU WILL GET, AND THE ONLY WAY YOU

                   CAN GIVE IT IS TO FILL YOURSELF UP WITH IT, UNTIL YOU

                   BECOME A MAGNET"

                                                                                   -----CHARLES HAANEL

                      YOU ARE MEANT TO HAVE THE MONEY YOU NEED TO LIVE A FULL LIFE. YOU ARE NOT MEANT TO BE SUFFERING FROM A LACK OF MONEY, BECAUSE SUFFERING ADDS NEGATIVITY TO THE WORLD. THE BEAUTY OF LIFE IS WHAT WHEN YOU PUT LOVE FIRST, ALL THE MONEY YOU NEED TO LIVE A FULL LIFE COMES TO YOU.

YOUR IMAGINATION

 

                        WHAT YOU CAN IMAGINE EXISTS

                 "  CREATION IS ONLY THE PROJECTION INTO FORM

                   OF THAT WHICH ALREADY EXISTS".

                                                                           ---- SRIMAN BHAGARATAM

                         WHATEVER DESIRE YOU CAN IMAGINE - ALREADY EXISTS! IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT IT IS, IF YOU CAN IMAGINE IT, IT ALREADY EXISTS IN CREATION.

                     FIVE THOUSAND YEARS AGO, ANCIENT SCRIPTURES RECORDED THAT ALL OF CREATION WAS DONE AND COMPLETE, AND THAT ANYTHING THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE CREATED ALREADY EXISTS. NOW, FIVE THOUSAND YEARS LATER, QUANTUM PHYSICS HAS CONFIRMED THAT EVERY SINGLE POSSIBILITY OF ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING ACTUALLY EXISTS NOW.

                         THE CREATION OF THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH

                         AND EVERYTHING IN THEM WAS COMPLETE.

                                                                                      --- GENESIS

                 WHAT THAT MEANS FOR YOU AND YOUR LIFE IS THAT WHATEVER YOU CAN IMAGINE FOR YOURSELF IN YOUR LIFE ALREADY EXISTS. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO IMAGINE ANYTHING THAT DOESN'T EXIST. CREATION IS COMPLETE. EVERY SINGLE POSSIBILITY EXISTS. SO WHEN YOU IMAGINE BREAKING A WORLD RECORD OR TRAVELLING TO THE FAR EAST OR BEING FULL OF HEALTH OR BEING A PARENT, THOSE POSSIBILITIES OF YOU DOING THOSE THINGS EXISTS IN CREATION RIGHT NOW! IF THEY DIDN'T EXIST ALREADY, YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO IMAGINE THEM! TO BRING THE THINGS YOU DESIRE AND LOVE FROM THE INVISIBLE LIFE, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GIVE LOVE FOR WHAT YOU WANT THROUGH YOUR IMAGINATION AND FEELINGS.

                    IMAGINE YOUR LIFE THE WAY WANT IT TO BE. IMAGINE EVERYTHING YOU WANT. TAKE YOUR IMAGINATION WITH YOU EVERY DAY, AND IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE IF YOUR RELATIONSHIPS WERE ALL WONDERFUL. IMAGINE HOW YOU WOULD FEEL IF YOUR JOB SUDDENLY TOOK OFF. IMAGINE HOW YOUR LIFE WOULD BE IF YOU HAD WOULD FEEL IF YOU NEED TO DO WHAT YOU LOVE. IMAGINE HOW YOU WOULD FEEL IF YOU COULD DO WHAT YOU WANTED TO DO. USE ALL OF YOUR SENSES TO IMAGINE WHAT YOU WANT. IF YOU WANT TO HEAR ITALIAN, IMAGINE THE SMELL OF OLIVE OIL, TASTE THE PASTA, HEAR ITALIAN WORDS BEING SPOKEN TO YOU, TOUCH THE STONE OF THE COLOSEUM, AND FEEL BEING IN ITALY!

               IN CONVERSATION AND IN YOUR THOUGHTS SAY, "IMAGINE OF... " AND THEN FILL IN THE REST OF THE SENTENCE WITH WHAT YOU WANT! IF YOU'RE TALKING TO A FRIEND AND THEY'RE COMPLAINING BECAUSE THEIR WORK COLLEAGUE GOT A PROMOTION AND THEY DIDN'T HELP THEM BY SAYING, "IMAGINATION IF THE REASON YOU DIDN'T GET THAT PROMOTION IS THAT YOU ARE BEING PROMOTED TO AN EVEN BIGGER ROLE, WITH WAY MORE MONEY", BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS THAT THE POSSIBLITY OF YOUR FRIEND BEING PROMOTED TO AN EVEN BIGGER ROLE WITH WAY MORE MONEY ALREADY EXISTS, AND IF THEY CAN IMAGINE AND FEEL IT, THEY CAN RECEIVE IT!

                 

               "ATOMS OR ELEMENTARY PARTICLES THEMSELVES ARE 

                NOT REAL, THEY FORM A WORLD OF POTENTIALITIES OR

                POSSIBILITIES RATHER THAN ONE OF THINGS OR FACTS"

                                                                              

                          USE YOUR IMAGINATION AND CREATE GAMES SO THAT YOU FEEL REALLY GOOD. WHATEVER YOU CAN IMAGINE IS WAITING FOR YOU, FULLY CREATED IN THE INVISIBLE, AND THE WAY TO MAKE IT VISIBLE IS TO HARNESS THE FORCE OF LOVE BY IMAGINING AND FEELING WHAT YOU LOVE.

                       AFTER GRADUATING FROM COLLEGE, A YOUNG WOMAN STRUGGLED FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS TRYING TO GET A JOB. HER BIGGEST OBSTACLES WAS IMAGINING HAVING A JOB WHEN SHE DIDN'T HAVE ONE. SHE WROTE IN HER JOURNAL EVERY DAY THAT SHE WAS GRATEFUL FOR THE JOB THAT WAS COMING TO HER, BUT STILL NO JOB. THEN SHE HAD A SUDDEN  REALIZATION. HER DESPERATE ACTIONS OF APPLYING FOR ONE JOB AFTER ANOTHER WERE SAYING LOUD AND CLEAR TO THE LAW OF ATTRACTION THAT SHE DIDN'T HAVE A JOB.

                         SO HERE IS WHAT THE YOUNG WOMAN DID THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING. SHE DECIDED TO USE HER IMAGINATION AND LIVE AS THOUGH SHE WERE ALREADY EMPLOYED. SHE SET HER ALARM EARLY AS IF SHE WERE GOING TO WORK, INSTEAD OF WRITING IN HER JOURNAL THAT SHE WAS GRATEFUL FOR THE JOB THAT WAS COMING, SHE WROTE HOW GRATEFUL SHE WAS FOR HER SUCCESS IN HER JOB AND FOR THE PEOPLE SHE WORKED WITH. SHE PLANNED THE CLOTHES SHE WOULD WEAR TO WORK EACH DAY. SHE SET UP A SAVINGS ACCOUNT FOR HER PAYCHECKS. WITHIN TWO WEEKS, SHE FELT AS THOUGH SHE REALLY HAD A JOB. THEN OUR OF THE BLUE, A FRIEND TOLD HER ABOUT A POSITION THAT HAD BECOME AVAILABLE. SHE WENT FOR AN INTERVIEW, GOT THE JOB, AND RECEIVED EVERYTHING SHE HAD WRITTEN ABOUT IN HER JOURNAL.
