Whatever thoughts, beliefs, opinions, theories, or dogmas you write, engrave, or impress on your subconscious mind, you will experience them as the objective manifestation of circumstances, conditions, and events.  What you write on the inside, you will experience on the outside.  You have two sides to your life, objective and subjective, visible and invisible, thought and its manifestation.

Physical concepts are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external world.

People react to their own mental images, not to things as they are.  Most of the time others' reactions or positions are not taken to make us suffer, to be hard-headed or malicious, but because they "understand" and interpret the situation differently from us.  They are merely responding appropriately to what - to them - seems to be the truth about the situation.  To give others credit for being sincere, if mistaken, rather than willful and malicious, can do much to smooth out human relations and bring about better understanding between people.

If you have a dream to make a difference, even if it's off the beaten track of mainstream acceptability, go for it with purposeful patience and perseverance.  Follow the breadcrumbs of your passion, and even if you don't know exactly where they are leading you, you will never be disappointed by where you end up.  Living in faith can balance the odds even when it appears that you're going against them.

To be really free, there is no option except to be yourself.  You are the living center around which every event happens, yet no event is so important that you willingly give yourself up to it.  By being yourself you open the door to what is, the never-ending play of cosmic intelligence curving back to know itself again and again.  In this way life remains fresh and fulfills its need to renew itself at every moment.

By understanding that there is a purpose to each and every event, that there are no mistakes, we move into acceptance, because then everything is an opportunity for growth and learning. There is value in everything that comes our way, both good and bad. Understanding this will illuminate your life in new and intriguing ways, and will help you learn from the experiences in your life.

Anything that you resent and strongly react to in another is also in you. But it is no more than a form of ego, and as such, it is completely impersonal. It has nothing to do with who that person is, nor has it anything to do with who you are. Only if you mistake it for who you are can observing it within you be threatening to your sense of self.

The victim mentality is totally disempowering. It works on the assumption that others are more capable of directing your life than you are. Such a disabling conclusion forces you to remain passive, convinced that you're defeated before you begin, blocking your positive energy and making it impossible to get anything wonderful back. Your insistence that you have been - or are being - victimized will only bring more evidence of that from the Universe.

MAN'S ONLY LIMITATION, within reason, LIES IN HIS DEVELOPMENT AND USE OF HIS IMAGINATION. He has not yet reached the apex of development in the use of his imaginative faculty. He has merely discovered that he has an imagination, and has commenced to use it in a very elementary way.

If it is a new thought to you that gratitude brings your whole mind into closer harmony with the creative energies of the universe, consider it well, and you will see that it is true. The good things you already have have come to you along the line of obedience to certain laws. Gratitude will lead your mind out along the ways by which things come; and it will keep you in close harmony with creative thought and prevent you from falling into competitive thought.
