Lucky DayForget mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything except what you're going to do now and do it. Today is your lucky day.

Becoming a Peacemaker The first lesson on the path of becoming a peacemaker

is to stop being at war with myself. It is only when the tu rbulence of my mind ceases that I can begin to make pe

 ace with the world.

Greatest Powers Gentleness, love, humility, forgiveness are the greatest

powers in the world.

The Secret Ingredient When we're cooking, our minds are working. When we're stirring a

nd rolling and baking, we're thinking. Thinking creates vibrations b ecause that's what thoughts do. The vibrations affect both the food

and the people who eat the food.

So, cook with care; pay attention to what you are thinking; and don  't forget that in the best of recipes, love is the secret ingredient.

Contentment To make good use of what you have and to let go of what you do not

use is to live in a contented way.

Oasis of Peace Deep inside our consciousness is an oasis of peace. This is the molt

en core of the soul, but it is not hot, it is cool. Not passive, but a sou rce of inner power to fuel our mind and intellect, so that we can cre ate powerful thoughts and make accurate decisions. If you can lear

n to go to this centre, peace will be your companion, positivity your partner, and you will be able to chill out in one second, anywhere, a

nytime.

Plant The Seed Of Peace As our thought so is our consciousnes

s, and as is our consciousness so is ou r life. Let your first thought of the day

simply be peaceful. Plant this seed. W ater it with attention and you will gath

er the calm.

The Quality of MercyA person with the quality of mercy works on such a subtle level that the support given never demeans or implies weakness in the other person.

Introversion The ability to enjoy one's own company is one of the greatest gifts

life has to offer. Learning to turn my thoughts away from all my re sponsibilities at the day's end and take my mind into a state of pe

ace and benevolence enables me to carry greater and greater loa ds without feeling the burden. When my inner landscape is full of

beautiful thoughts, everything I do is a pleasure. Gently, I calm do wn chaotic situations and offer solace to troubled minds.

Angel FaceAngel FaceAn angel's face is still because there are no lies inside. Truth makes it a straight, simple face whose beauty lies not in its form but in the feeling it gives you.

Mind Matters - The most important part of you is your mind (not your brain the brai

n is the hardware and the mind creates the software). Care for your mind, make friends with it, always feed it healthy food, engage it in p ositive activity, exercise it with knowledge and wisdom. Like a garden returns fragrance and beauty according to the care invested, so your

mind will repay you with thoughts, ideas and visions of great beauty when tended and invested with care. Your mind is not made of matte

r but it does matter what you give it and what you create with it. Whe re your mind goes, you go. What your mind creates becomes your de

stiny.
