The great rule is this: if you can conceive it in your mind, then it can be brought into the physical world. Be bold and go after your dreams, especially when you are exploring uncharted territory. Pray and have faith.
 

Once you have a clear vision of what you want, then the natural play of universal forces will lead you to the accomplishment of that goal. Don’t take your power lightly. Whenever you decide to go after something you want, fear often shows up. It's because you are moving beyond what's familiar. You're moving beyond your comfort zone. Ignite your confidence, be bold and breathe.

You have the power within you to create a glorious life. Successful people are relentless goal setters and they don't make excuses for failure or shortcomings. They acknowledge their weaknesses and strengths. Sitting around making excuses will take you further away from achieving your goals. Empower others and you will be delighted by the positive outcome.

As we spend time together through the pages of this book, you will discover how to live with an abundance of faith, confidence, joy, vitality and balance, and how to live a God-centered life.

My greatest hope is that reading this book will help you turn your life into a magnificent adventure. You do make a difference. You have the power to reach your goals and live fully. A goal is a dream with a plan and a deadline. With God, all things are possible. It starts with being grateful for all you have now. Gratitude places us nearer to God making it easier to receive greater blessings.

If I were stranded on an island and could only keep with me one additional book besides the Bible, it would be a dictionary. I am partial to learning new words and am proud to be a LOGOPHILE. Vocabulary sharpens our communications and opens our mind. Reading is a great way to learn new words. Here are my favorite words as I strive to speak and write in a positive light.

I never felt alone growing up because reading gave me such joy and comfort and an imagination with no limits. Reading books always inspired, captivated and empowered me. Other positives: It helps you de-stress; makes you more empathetic towards others; increases your vocabulary and intelligence; and it's free!
