No matter what the odds, no matter how overwhelming, no matter how desperate, you have an obligation to yourself and others to do whatever you can. You must try, regardless of how paltry your efforts may seem.

Whatever dire situation lies in front of you, taking action, even the most miniscule of actions, is crucial to who and what you are and will be. If you do nothing, you will lose. If you do something you still may lose, but at least you can hold on to the hope that you have the smallest of chances to overcome your situation. Don’t ever lose hope. Don’t ever give up!

Being loved deeply by someone gives you fortitude. Loving someone deeply gives you vitality.

Hopefully someone is there to put fortitude in your life. Furthermore, give of your soul without restraint, and you will make your life filled with vitality.

Many people I speak with complain and worry about the negative energy or bad karma they feel in our society today. However, a shift in the balance of spiritual power can change things over time. When more of us join together to rise in our spiritual capacity, and not speak bitterly of those whose beliefs are different from ours, we can and will displace these bad vibrations with good ones.

May this day come in our lifetime. We will then realize that heaven is here on earth.

The most precious metal – gold – is hidden. It can only be found by strenuous digging in the ground or searching diligently through many rocks in a stream. It’s not easy work, but when it is discovered there is much elation and joy, as the person who found it will be rich.

God is like gold. He is hidden, and it is not easy work to find Him. But when you discover Him you will have much elation and joy, for you will be rich.

All of us are masters of our own destiny, either in general or with something specific. Our destiny is determined by our own actions and efforts more than what others do. The level we find ourselves at is the level for which we have endeavored. This is where we have placed ourselves. There is positive energy in this, as where you are is where you are meant to be.

Sometimes we may feel adverse energy coming from others because of where or who we are. That is their problem – as long as they are not trying to harm us in some way. There is no benefit in having that kind of energy affect us.

Life has so much joy to offer when we are content with where we are. We can find fulfillment in that, and savor what our lives bring to us.
