If you view the world as a giving place, you probably see goodness in others and in all situations and are optimistic about other people’s kindness and consideration. You attract others with similar values.

As you become more God-centered, your personal and environmental reality tends to adjust toward harmony. Your intentions reflect your values and spiritual beliefs back out into the world.

Our main job here on Earth is to take our attention off criticizing and finding fault, and instead look for ways to serve others, share the peace and joy of our hearts, and let others know we appreciate them.

Intention is directional energy, and intentional living is one of the most empowering ways to achieve happiness, health and wholeness and to banish obstacles to spiritual growth.

As paradoxical as it may sound, this is the path to self-mastery: to surrender, trust, turn away from habits of accumulation and quick fixes, and to allow one’s sense of purpose to spring from inner guidance.

The more you live from inner guidance, the Christ Light—that peaceful, loving center within you—the more you’ll find that everything you need to meet your wants and desires will be provided.

Anyone who goes about living with a sense of serenity, contentment and grace has no need to manipulate others. It is rare for a person who is reasonably satisfied with his or her life to try and run someone else’s.

Make an internal shift of mere inches from your mind to your heart. You will find yourself more certain, fulfilled, successful, content and peaceful than ever before. You will be living in a state of grace.

My mom used to say this to me: "You more you love, the more you're loved, and the lovelier you are. We all want the same thing — to feel appreciated, valued, respected and loved. Treat others with kindness today.

Love empowers us. Nothing will transform and enrich life faster than the consistent experience of love. Let others know that you love them. Tell them and show them. Don’t wait until later. Here's one of my favorite Bible quotes from 1 Corinthians 13:13: "Three things will last forever — faith, hope and love and the greatest of these is love." Let your love-light shine brightly today.
