....that you must invest three percent of your income in

your self-development in order to guarantee your future.

Brian Tracy said that and he was right. I know you really

want to take that class or that seminaror that spiritual

growth retreat, but you think you can't afford it. The truth

may be that you can't afford not to.

Try following your highest impulse. Your mind rarely

invites you to explore things that are worthless -- and

your soul never does.

..that if you are going to fuss over things, it is important

to pick your battles.

The ideal, of course, would be to "fuss" over nothing.

But given that we are all human, that may not be possible.

What is possible is picking much more carefully the things

that we are prepared to make a fuss over.

Ask yourself: "How much difference will this make when

I'm 85?" If you think it will matter then, let it matter now.

If you make everything matter now, you may not get to

be 85.

....that the cycles of life are endless -- and always serve

you, because life is a process that serves Life Itself.

When things seeem to be shifting away from you,

moving in the other direction, closing doors,

shutting own opportunities, remember that all things

are cyclical -- including Life Itself.

What you are experiencing is temporary -- whether it's

"good" OR "bad." So stop calling it one thing or the

other, and simply embrace it as What's Happening Now.

You'll move through it all much more peacefully. And

one day you'll call it ALL "good."
