Keep your best wishes, close to your heart and watch what happens

Happiness is part of who we are. Joy is the feeling

Life is like a game of chess.To win you have to make a move.Knowing which move to make comes with IN-SIGHTand knowledge, and by learning the lessons that areacculated along the way.We become each and every piece within the game called life!

Life is like a sandwich!Birth as one slice,and death as the other.What you put in-between the slices is up to you.Is your sandwich tasty or sour?Allan Rufus.org

Is a self help or personal development book ruining your life?

See, don't just look. Your partner is so much more than their appearance. It's how kind their heart is, how lovely they smile, how much they care and have compassion, how generous and giving they are which becomes much more attractive.

If you haven't cried at least once while writing a chapter of your inspirational book, then you have to ask yourself if your're writing fiction.

Each store will fulfil some of your needs, but no individual store can meet all of your needs. Learning how to set realistic expectations now and in future relationships requires you to examine each of the existing stores to see what they can offer.

Success is a decision, not a gift.

Athletes who are able to stay completely focused in pursuit of their dreams are the ones that are most likely to become champions.

Like everything in life, it is not what happens to you but how you respond to it that counts.

It is never about who is right or wrong, it is about what is best.

You can start to change your luck today. Begin believing that you can have what you desire and superior things will arrive.

The thrust of continuous action is the firewood which fuels motivation.

Success is not the end of the journey. It is the beginning of the expression of your infinite potential.

There are three types of people in this world. Firstly, there are people who make things happen. Then there are people who watch things happen. Lastly, there are people who ask, what happened? Which do you want to be?

Too often, people get stuck in a state of over-thinking, the result is that they never reach a decision.

The first step is the most important. It is the most crucial and the most effective as it will initiate the direction you have chosen.

If obstacles are large, jump higher.

Share your aspirations only with those who will support you, not those who will respond with doubt or lack of interest.

Act like a champion, and then become one.

It is action that creates motivation.

If not now, when?

Your current apathy is simply your soul telling you that it is confused.

If you want to continue to be the best in the world, then you have to train and compete like you are second best in the world.

If you remain static and wait for success to come to you it will certainly not happen.

Nothing could be any worse than having to turn to your friends, your colleagues and your loved ones and say –‘I gave up too soon’.

Do you want to know what one of the secrets to achieving all of your goals is? You’ve got to be committed.

The challenge for you is to decide not what is important, but what is most important and then focus your attention on that.

Success is simply never giving in to failure - either in mind or body.

It is one thing to know what should be done, it is another to do it.

If not you, who?

It is true to say that the secret of a winning formula is the ability to accept that there is a vast area of unexploited potential beyond what you currently perceive to be your maximum.

Mix with positive-minded people as a means to tap into your unexploited potential.

The only test is what you see when you look in a mirror.

See it, feel it, trust it!

Just identify the very first physical action you need to take, and do it.

You have to create your self-belief by going to your core to find the probable reasons for the negativity in you, and then demolish them.

If you are able to focus unswervingly on your goals, then all that you desire will become yours.

The sprint is like life ... blink and you miss it.

If you have positive energy you will always attract positive outcomes.

Look for solutions, instead of being difficult; be more thoughtful, instead of allowing anger to burn you out. Look at things from a different perspective, embrace change, look out for opportunities and you will feel much more in control.

A mind filled with negative thoughts makes you feel miserable and inadequate and will lead to failure after failure no matter how hard you try to succeed.

Invest your energy in the things you can control.

See it first in your mind, then become it.

Explore. Train your conscious mind and your subconscious mind to start working for you by getting those great powers to move in a new direction. Start creating your own good luck today.

To think is good. To obsess is bad.

Lucky people will focus on what’s in front of them rather than scrabbling about for what they’re searching for.

Every time a champion makes a decision they have a chance to learn something new, regardless of the outcome.

They don’t give Olympic medals out for talking a good game.

When you think a positive thought, you become positive.

Remember, if you don’t do anything – if you don’t change the way your mind works and direct your subconscious mind to create the life you want – then everything stays the same, nothing changes.

Success is virulent. Once you get the bug then it’s in you.

The way forward is to stop pestering yourself for answers and let it, the creative part of your mind, come up with the solution when the time is right.

The people and successes in your life mirror your beliefs.

Although you can’t go back in time and alter your natural level of potential, you can determine how much of that ability you tap into, exploit and develop for the future.

Tell me your thinking, and I’ll tell you what your life looks like.

These are the people who will encourage you to go after your dreams and will inspire you to succeed. Stick to them like a barnacle to a rock.

If you decide not to take action, you are going to fail, and even if you do take action, if you can’t keep up your motivation, you will simply end up back where you started.

Trust in your own beliefs or succumb to the influence of others’.

For many, lack of achievement is more a consequence of fear of taking a chance and getting uncomfortable.

To deliver your own personal maximum, you’ll realise there are no shortcuts; if you want to be a champion it is all about rolling your sleeves up and getting stuck in.

The discontent and frustration that you feel is entirely your own creation.

When you concentrate your energy purposely on the future possibility that you aspire to realize, your energy is passed on to it and makes it attracted to you with a force stronger than the one you directed towards it.

Grateful souls focus on the happiness and abundance present in their lives and this in turn attracts more abundance and joy towards them.

Never allow your mind to wander untamed like a wild animal that exists on the basis of survival of the fittest. Tame your mind with consistent focus on your goals and desires.

Manifesting is a lot like making a cake. The things needed are supplied by you, the mixing is done by your mind and the baking is done in the oven of the universe.

It is not enough if you just live life as it comes to you like a floating leaf in a pond. Make use of the powers bestowed in you and soar like an eagle.

Without desires and dreams, your thoughts do not matter and you can think whatever you want to.

Once we open our eyes to the infinite magic that the universe has in abundance, we are sure to be enthralled by what we see and this miraculous creation gets us closer to our dreams and to the world as a whole.

You don't have to be good at something to be liked.

Every sunrise is priceless and you can experience the richness that life holds only when you live life to the full instead of just being an onlooker.

The realisation that limitations are imaginary will make you strong and overpowering.

The difference between being mediocre and achieving excellence is you.

Positive belief in yourself will give you the energy needed to conquer the world and this belief is the power behind all creation.

Though money cannot acquire you happiness, it does not mean that both money and happiness cannot exist together.

A barrier is a limitation only when you perceive it as one.

Winning is great, but if it's not enough then then you'll never have enough!

Whatever belief we have actually stems from the thankfulness that we feel and this feeling further attracts more happy feelings towards us.

On the other hand, if the future is not the one you chose then you may have to use your willpower to obtain the future of your liking.

Have faith in the universe and its capability to lead you to the path of abundance.

Choice forms the divider which is responsible for the formation of all futures that can be possible.

Failures can be called ‘strengtheners’ as they make you determined to reach your goal with the lessons they teach.

According to the Law of Attraction, the physical reality that you experience at present is drawn towards the future probability you desired when it attains more power.

In the spiritual world many forms of the physical universe that are potentially effective can be perceived but with regard to time, we can observe only one form.

Limitations are like mirages created by your own mind. When you realise that limitation do not exist, those around you will also feel it and allow you inside their space.

When you are drowned by your sorry state, and you feel as if you are carried away from the road that leads to your desires, you should know that you are the one responsible for being led away from the right path.

In reality there are no limitations. They are vibrant and changeable to whatever form you want them to take to realise your goals.

If you take any step, no matter how small it is, towards achieving your dreams then you will surely find the right path and reach the abundance that lies in store for you.

The gratitude that you feel leads to faith in the abundance and with every resonance that radiates from your mind more strong feelings of faith start to reside in you.

When you act on your beliefs, the realisation that happens is caused by you and this will in turn lead to a consequence.

Success is within reach of all people, but you can grasp it only when you realise the power within you.

Circumstances, knowledge or birth do not determine the realisation of your desires. It is only you who are blocking the achievement of your dreams and goals.

The negative patterns that form as a result of this self defeating behaviour actually symbolize the negative belief that we nurture.

It so happens that at times your desires tend to disagree with the reality and this is due to the fact that you have not let the two elements complement each other.

The first place where self-esteem begins its journey is within us.

A good self-esteem level is mostly dependant on how we value ourselves without any bias.

A person today who seems to have a great sense of self-esteem has his or her childhood days to thank for it.

Whatever you lay your hands on, self-esteem is visible.

We are exactly what our history made us to be.

For us to regard others as worthy, we have to begin by regarding ourselves as worthy.

A failure is always in the passenger seat in his or her life.

What we perceive about ourselves is greatly a reflection of how we will end up living our lives.

Each person has got a voice inside them. Communicate with it and take hold of it. Do not let it push and shove you around – you are its master!

How we relate with other people is dependent on how we rate ourselves and what we think about ourselves.

Acknowledgement is possession. When you acknowledge, think or have conviction in something, it actually will come true.

Our own self-esteem is something we can actually twist in whatever way we want.

With every challenge you face, there is an opportunity hidden that will lead you towards the path of wealth and abundance.

If someone does not consider those around them to be valuable and hold only themselves in high regard, they too have a very bad self-esteem.

Feeling indifferent or reserved about doing something is a signal that it is probably not correct after all.

If we can acquire an attitude of self-belief, then we will surely determine our future actions and our future life opportunities.

Failing to make it to the list of the best 5 students in class or not being named the team captain should not make anyone feel like they have failed.

No matter how things appear have faith that they are always working out for you. Relax knowing that the universe is taking care of it. Your faith in a solution allows your vibration to rise, allowing your awareness to have access to ideas, help and solutions that reside at that higher frequency. Instagram: #aMessageOfLove

Have a specific vision / goal / dream, and power it with general and genuine feelings of love, appreciation, peace, abundance and passion...and always leave room for the universe to bring you even better. If you don't get what you desire it only ever means that you're destined for even greater. ( Instagram: #aMessageOfLove )

There is no glory in making yourself small, build yourself up. Believe in your abilities and worth, show the world who you are, love yourself fully, take action on your dreams, no more hiding away and being apologetic. What you believe you are you will become. Know you're destined for success. ( Instagram: #aMessageOfLove )

Be a survivor of the past, not a reviver of it. Your attention to that painful past either by resisting it or by consistently focusing upon it will continue to persist it. The present will continue to be powered by, and become a product of that painful past, Until you begin to acknowledge, allow and accept the past, it will continue to become your future. ( Instagram: #aMessageOfLove )

Expect success of yourself, no matter what you desire, intend to do it, to be it. Hoping and wishing for success isn't going to cut it. That energy isn't going to create success. Your FAITH is creative, you've got to know and intend for it to happen. Feeling that at a vibrational level it ALREADY has.( Instagram: #aMessageOfLove )

No matter what you desire to be or see, contemplate / meditate upon the idea of there being an unlimited abundance of it. Your belief is scarcity and limitation regarding your desire is keeping it from you. How you define something is how it must appear. Faith in abundance draws things to you, your faith in lack / limitation takes away what you already have. ( Instagram: #aMessageOfLove )

Entitlement is an expression of conditional love. Nobody is ever entitled to your love. You always have a right to protect your mental, emotional, and physical well-being by removing yourself from toxic people and circumstances.

A team is better 'cos your aptitude is multiplied in your members

-Waiting Time is time of preparation, planning pruning before time of manifestation (time of showing forth)

Minds are like flowers, they only open when the time is right.

You willed yourself to where you are today, so will yourself out of it.

If the great internet connects us all ... then why are so many of us becoming increasingly isolated?

No matter whether you believe in luck or chance, the final decision is from yourself.

Stand out from the crowd, be yourself.

Exhaust your worries and they will soon leave you.

I have my own theory: ignorance is bliss. The less you know, the more confident you can be in tackling things.

A thought is a Cosmic Order waiting to happen.

Inaction creates nothing. Action creates success.

Always have an air of expectancy.

Poverty: a temporary financial low, curable by money.

Hard work is what you do to make ends meet, easy work is getting others to do the hard work for you.

Thrill me, chill me I went in search of money and success, all I got was a bellyful of excess! Now that I've realigned myself I’m on my tip-toes because life is sweet! I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for all the blessings that are manifesting in my life … neat!

You tap in to this oneness and become part of the universe as a whole.

Even though your thinking might not be right for others, just so long as it's right for you then that's all what matters.

The mind is the strongest tool we have to help us secure the riches within the universe.

Using your mind is a faster method to getting what you want. I mean, all you have to do is sit there. What could be easier?

The basic idea is that all things in the universe are intertwined.

The first rule when you are in a hole is to ask for a hand out!

View life through a wide angle lens attitude and see your horizons broaden.

If you can't quite make it as a high flier then join a trampoline club.

Just let go of the need to care about whether it happens or not, then you are free from fear and can then concentrate on focusing.

When you accomplish the impossible then you can achieve anything.

There is no new knowledge, it already exists in the universe.

The cosmic believer needs the energy of the universe to survive spiritually.

Time and space have no meaning, just as your conscious thoughts are meaningless.

When you stop blaming others for where you are in life, that is when you can start to manifest your dream life!

You don't manifest dreams without taking chances.

Your own dreams stand alone, longing to be fulfilled, and you wonder if it will ever happen. You must have faith. Just as the bus was a little late, so too can fulfilment of your desires come a bit late.

Our souls sparkle brightly with creative energy, our beings are as complex as the universe, and at the same time we help make up a higher body of energy.

There are no prizes for defying yourself.

When others walk away from a lost cause, then that is the time you can step in and seize success.

The first rule about the low hanging fruit principle is to always watch out for low hanging branches, they’re the ones to take it away from you.

There is nothing to prove to anyone, just concentrate on your own needs.

To heal physically, one must heal the emotional aspect of the issue first or it will resurface in another way.

Your dreams will come true, but do not be overly demanding. Be logical – there are not enough mansions for everyone in the world, are there?

We tend to think of future inventions and discoveries, but in reality, these things already exist in the knowledge bank of the universe.

Knowing that the brain is predisposed to religion and spirituality, then might it be that God is a creation of the brain?

I have never seen a newspaper headline where those in spirit, without physical bodies, carried out evil deeds like a mugger in a parking lot.

Since extra-sensory perception (ESP) is awareness of the world beyond the senses, it would be inappropriate to term this Sixth Sense ‘extrasensory’.

The good thing about a self-help book is that if you misunderstand something then it won't mock you.

Compete like you cannot fail.

My fear of abandonment is exceeded only by my terror of intimacy.

Focusing is the great secret of power. If you want to use your full amount of focus, you must close down all other thought and direct your power of generating mental steam toward one outcome.

You cannot run at full throttle when applying your mindset to all of the different things running through your head. Focusing is the key to manifesting your desires.

Making excuses is one of a host of self-defeating behaviours and mental patterns that can block your success.

We are beings of energy, and as such we are all perfect magnets - – attracting according to our personal energy vibration.

Yes, I see you. I recognize that you’re a thinking, feeling person, and I’m here to listen.” That’s the essence and magic of meditation—the gift of telling yourself that you matter and that you’re worth time and attention. No pomp. No circumstance. Norules. Just showing up for yourself with compassion and without judgment. When this is your practice, meditation can serve as a mirror and the lighthouse that leads you home.

Heading back into your life to dust off and decipher old memories allows you to fully grasp how much power you have always held in your life. It helps you start to see that the way you have stored your memories and the role you played in them can be altered by you at any moment. Truly. At any moment in time. Hell, with one phone call.

What if the longer we don’t deal with the memories we are haunted by, the more these memories, like long-ignored cavities, become not only painfully sensitive, but require root canal?

Our foibles, issues, lies, and idiosyncrasies are not the problem, I swear. Our hiding them is. It’s what leaves us not trusting each other and not developing ourselves to become trustworthy.

Telling the whole truth and nothing but is the ultimate taking care of yourself. I can’t tell you how many clients of mine, once they clean up their lie list and resolve the big ones, cure themselves of their own depression.

Look. The world is full of liars, and it’s time someone admitted it, shed a light on it, and lightened up about it.

Our mind has a mind of its own.

Ever notice how we are constantly talking to ourselves in our heads. We not only profess to know what others are thinking, but also what their responses will be––and even what they really meant by what they said. Apparently, we are all mind readers, without much proven psychic ability.

Being able to tell the truth about our own lack of personal integrity has integrity to it. The key to being able to deal with and lighten up about our own humanity is to get wholly honest about our dishonesty.

Ever notice how on a bad day you never deserve a salad? I mean how long do you think your bad mood would really last if you only fed your brat celery? How many bad days would your brat tolerate if it no longer got rewarded a drink, a cigarette, or an entire Netflix series on the couch for it.

Did you ever notice that most of us relate to our lives like we have no control or say over them? Especially in areas where we’re not proud. We speak about ourselves like we’re reporting on the weather, making sweeping generalizations...And boy do we ever believe our own ‘forecasts.

So although there is no phoenix here, there is, nonetheless, a fierce, stubborn, wildly insightful, arrogantly honest, crazily committed, and caring human, who will take the heat, the brunt of whatever silver spoon joke you may have, so I can help you have everything you want in your life. And I mean everything.

Inside each of us is our ideal life: our true north.

If we’re not the one driving our dreams forward, who is? If we don’t figure out how to change jobs, eat healthily, date, fall and stay in love, who will come save us? No one. But, then again, no one should, right? The are, after all, our dreams.

Emails are viewed as an essential historical record of an organization. A record that cannot be expunged must be created with care or not created at all.

Electronic communication has transmuted conversations into durable and accessible records. Revisionist history has gone the way of the phone booth.

Don't let hollow heroes distract you from saving yourself.

Just like a sailor who knows before reaching land that it is nearing, life too gives certain signals which indicate how closer you are to manifesting.

When you believe in yourself sufficiently and are confident that everything that you desire is inside you then you will possess the ability to produce all that you wish for.

Having faith makes you vibrate at a frequency level that is identical to that of the universe, providing you a result that you would not have arrived at before.

The purpose of quantum linguistics is to survey the spirit of linguistics and finding solutions to the common barrier problems faced by means of deliberate use of language.

If you start identifying your inner self with the spirit of pure potentiality then you are aligning with the power that helps in the manifestation of all energy in the form of matter.

Diamonds do not burst out from the mines into your hands. The universe, instead, will direct the men to discover the mines and find the diamonds for you.

So, and it is common sense, be in the moment to make things happen in that moment.

Concurrent time is a state of time where all the happenings occur at the same time. The creations of the present are influenced by both the past and the future actions and all the three interact where even a future event can change what can happen in the present.

The universal mind acts as an advisor or guide. When you abide by its advice then you will get another opportunity to alter your destiny.

If you are faced with a lost opportunity, think of the shifting reality and be ready to catch it when it comes your way. This is the way reality functions.

Do you think people have evolved too far, because I do; oh their ability to heal is indeed a wonder and I do praise them for that, but in many other things I think evolution has been a bit rushed, like getting to the bus stop before the wheel was invented.

The process of acceptance is to train your mind to focus on what you have.

I wish you allan ego freedriven day!

The presence of the inner feeling of emptiness directs our attention to a past experience of guilt and to our inner feeling awareness of the cause in the past. We must be sensitive to that feeling and accept it in order to chase down the cause, ferret it out, reassess the value of the experience to us in order not to further project the blame in anger outward to an external cause.

One of the most powerful opponents of happiness is indeed fear. Unfortunately, the chains that bind people to their comfortable mediocrity are the same ones that bind their future to an unsuccessful destiny. The courage to dream is the very first step. LISTENING TO YOUR DREAMS is the second!

look for a long time at what pleases you, and longer still at what pains you...

Sometimes our Biggest Nightmare turns out to be our Biggest Gift. And it all comes down to our attitude. Life will throw us curve balls and disappointments, even heartbreak. But ultimately we can choose if we're going to be Bitter or Better for the experience.

Rule #1: Life is supposed to be fun!

You cannot simply tap your creative nature once and then expect to be done with it. It is a lifelong process: a continual commitment to being open to possibility, trusting your instincts, experimenting, taking risks, and revising.

Being in home is like magic moments, in a magic world, among magicians.

God is a creation of human brain

Learning means bringing forth the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual knowledge, skills and values, that are within us. Our learning starts as soon as we are born.Excerpt from "Living in Light, Love & Truth". (Page 3).

Blue is a tranquilizer, imparting coolness to your system. Blue slows down your system so it can heal and mend. Positive qualities of blue are willpower, aspiration, and reliability.

You Have the Power to Fulfill Your Dreams!

May our spirit fill us with understanding of victory and defeat, the gift of collaboration, the wisdom to choose the right path, and opportunities that inspire hope.

My life is on loan, like money borrowed from a bank. God is the lender, and He retains the right to call in the loan any time. Though I am responsible for taking care of it, I do not own this life; it is borrowed. Why should I fear its loss or the loss of anything else in this world when I must surrender it all anyway?

Redefine Yourself will help you overcome the obstacles that have plagued your life. You will incorporate new adaptive strategies that will not only change your life, but also positively impact those people around you. You will truly redefine yourself and achieve the happiness you’ve always wanted. You might just achieve that long list of other wants too.

The benefit of personal growth and self-discovery is that we become better human beings with the strength to endure and carry on, and then we may experience something magical when we begin to reach out to others. We discover a feeling that is so rewarding and fulfilling: that fact that we can make a difference. Here is to your willingness to begin with making a difference with yourself!Michael James

The phrase 'Love one another' is so wise. By loving one another, we invest in each other and in ourselves. Perhaps someday, when we need someone to care for us, it may not come from the person we expect, but from the person we least expect. It may be our sons or daughter-in-laws, our neighbors, friends, cousins, stepchildren, or stepparents whose love for us has assigned them to the honorable, yet dangerous position of caregiver.
