Dear friend, as we live our life one of our main goals should be striving to be honorable. Developing a character that is Just, Courageous, Benevolent, Polite, Truthful and Loyal. This truly is training that takes a lifetime. We should become the type of person that others seek out for help and advice. By doing this we give back to the universe which has given us so much. But we truly must be careful as we become this person of honor not to become conceited and arrogant. Because if we do this instead of being a force of light we become a force of ignorance. So what we must do is be honorable while being humble. Humility is a great gift it teaches us the strength to be silent. It teaches us to be thankful and giving. It teaches us to listen and ask questions that comes from our heart. It teaches us to put aside our ego and love freely. So dear friend may this day you strive to be honorable and true of heart, standing straight and true like a mighty oak tree. May you balance your honor with humility always remembering the mighty oak will humbly bow to the great winds of the universe. You dear friend have the opportunity to bring peace and light to the universe.
Dear friend, as we sit here reading this we should take a moment and look around us. What do we see? Is it that everywhere we look we see things that are made by the hands of humans? These things that are human made can be truly wonderful and beautiful. But at times they can cloud our mind to what is truly important and beautiful. Because to be a creature of light and beauty we must stay connected to the divine force of the universe. That force is found in nature and natural things. It is so important that each day we connect with things that have been made naturally by the divine. If we are in a large city this may be done simply by going to a local park. If we are unable to do this we can simply look at pictures of nature and meditate allowing ourselves to be transported there in our mind. We must remember that we are part of nature, we come from the same life force that has made the oceans, mountains, valleys, clouds and heavens. So this day may you connect with nature and may the light of the universe fill you, so you can shine creating heat and warmth for all in need. Many blessings are all around us.
Dear friend, if we are traveling down the road and we realize we are going in the wrong direction there is no shame on getting off the road we are on and finding the correct road to get us to our destination. We must remember if we stay on the road that is taking us in the wrong direction we will continue to move farther and farther away from where we truly want to be. So many times so many people feel trapped in their situation this can be due to many different factors and can be very difficult and heartbreaking. As difficult as it may be, it is time to very gracefully and lovingly exit the road that is going the wrong direction and seek out the road that will take us to our place of peace. As we are seeking out this road to peace, we must remember there are many beautiful roads that will take us to our place of peace we just need to use our heart to make our choice. When we do change to a different road, we will make sure to be considerate and loving of others feelings. Because a road that hurts others truly is not a road to peace. So dear friend may this day, may your road be beautiful and peaceful. May you feel the sunshine on your face and the love in your heart as you go on your way. Be loving of others and true to the heart.
Dear friend, we must always remember that not learning from the past is a great waste of natural resources and also can be very dangerous. But to learn from the past we must analyze what our resources are. The first most obvious resource is that of our own experiences. This is where we use the information of what we have experienced in the past to make our decisions for the future. Our second resource is the old writings. It truly is amazing how many old and beautiful books that teach us how to use the positive energy of the universe. Many times these classics are absolutely free, we just have to find them. If you study these old books you will realize that there are certain ideals such as the flow of positive and negative energy that do not change through time or space. And finally our last resource is that of our teachers. Our teachers are those who have experienced a great deal of living while they have been on this earth in the physical form. The positive energy of the universe just seem to flow through them. They consider themselves a student of the universe who just passes on the beauty that has been entrusted to them. It is a very important that we seek these teachers out and learn from their experience and the beauty of the universe that flows through them. So good friend may this day you see the beauty of experience that is all around you. May you use this beauty to guide and enrich your life. And of course may the universe give you every blessing.
Dear friend, there is an old saying that goes "To find happiness we must keep the journey interesting". As humans daily we will encounter many hardships, this is a natural part of life. In truth this is how the universe tests our spirit. How we react to these tests truly will determine whether we find the peace and happiness that we seek. When conflict finds us we must be able to stand strong, freeing ourselves of the temptation of fear and anger. If we attack our attacker we just give power to the negative side. But when we look our attacker in the eyes and defend ourselves using love and compassion, we truly tap into the positive flow that the universe gives so freely. So may you meet every challenge with strength and courage. And may the positive flow course through your soul creating the light of love and devotion. Because the beauty of this inner light is so bright that it will illuminate the entire universe. Peace and light to you dear friend, Peace and Light!
Dear friend, it is very important from time to time that we take a deep look at what is inside our heart. Because sometimes unbeknownst to us malice and anger may slip in. If this happens not only will it disturb our peace and happiness but it will affect those who are dear to us. It is natural to clean and care for things that are important to us. So we should apply the same principle to what we hold inside our heart. If someone or something has done us wrong. We should take time to look deep into our heart and clean the sorrow and anger that we hold. We should learn to forgive and move forward. This can be very difficult but it is essential for peace to grow. By doing this the universe will open its doors and welcome us in because we will truly be turning negative energy into positive energy. Because know this negative energy is a very powerful and in the beginning can destroy many things. But it is no match for the strength and endurance of positive energy. May you take a moment this day to look deep inside and clean out all of the sorrow and anger, and as you do may the light of the universe fill you with peace and love.

Dear friend, it's been said that humans only use 5% of their brain. The other 95% is uncharted territory. To make use of this hidden treasure of the mind we must learn to be still. This means going back to the old way where meditation was a part of daily life. We must learn to follow our instincts which are truly the uncharted territory of our mind. The universe has given us this remarkable computer that we call the mind, it truly is our choice of whether we develop it or let it grow stagnant. If we choose to develop it we must also choose whether we use it for love or hate. If we choose wisely and let peace and love be our path the universe will truly open for us. When this happens it will give us great gifts and peace from within. So mat this day you set quietly and empty yourself of all thoughts of sadness and anger. As this happens may love and peace fill your soul allowing you to explore the uncharted territory within.
