Hello Robert,
Easter is once again on our doorstep and I'd like to encourage you to put some time aside on your off days and spend it quietly in your own company and listen to your thoughts and feelings.
In our everyday lives we are usually so busy that we pretty much focus all our attention on our external life, which is really far less important than what is going on inside of us. Our external environment and circumstances are a manifestation of our thoughts and feelings, but most people pay little attention to them, not realizing that to a large degree their lives and how we fee! l about it are self-created, a result of what has been going on in our heads.
The astounding "Power of Thought" is our divine gift of creation and now that the world is becoming more and more aware of this, it is each individuals responsibility to pay attention to his/her thoughts and feelings, and to switch from negative to positive. This switch will result in profound changes for the better and as we become happier people, these new, positive vibrations will flow over to everyone around us and from there even further... contributing to the upliftment of humanity as a whole.
The following was written by Andy Rooney, a man who has the gift of saying so much with so few words. Enjoy...
