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. Extend love outward. Love creates an irresistible charisma, a warm glow that makes us and others happy. And don't forget that happiness can be increased by praying.

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 a empowerful way to achieve happiness and health. Intentional living is about making the decision every day to live the life you want most. If you don't have the resources, like time of money, it's fine to start small. Sometimes it's even better that way because consistency and perseverance are what matter the most in the long run.

The path to self-mastery is to surrender, trust, turn away from quick fixes and to allow one’s sense of purpose to spring from inner guidance. Your inner guidance system or intuition informs you whether your thoughts, words and actions are in alignment with the flow of life or not. When you are in alignment, you are on the path towards or already living the life of your dreams.

The more you live from inner guidance — that peaceful, loving center within you — the more you’ll find that everything you need to meet your wants and desires will be provided. That's where meditation comes in. Not only can it help with achieving goals, which I'll explain more about in a moment, but it can also become one of your success stories around goal setting.

Anyone who lives with a sense of serenity, contentment and grace has no need to manipulate others. It is rare for a person who is satisfied with his or her life to try and run someone else’s. One of my favorite Ralph Waldo Emerson quotes is: "Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen." Make a decision to be kind to others without manipulation.

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: "The 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. The simple human act of kindness has numerous health benefits. It can help you experience fewer aches and pains and even lower your blood pressure. It can also help with . . .

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.
