The Power of… PERSPECTIVE

The Power of… THE UNIVERSE

THE UNIVERSE. Do you know who and what you are? Do you know your role in this Universe? How often do you think about the world in which you live? I'm not talking about politics or the economy. I'm talking about the power of the Universe – the vastness of the sky, the depths...

The Power of… NO!

NO. Have you ever agreed to do something you really didn't want or have time to do? Have you ever said "No" to something that seemed like an opportunity to other people, but just didn't "feel" right for you? How do you respond when you are told "No"? There's a funny thing about this...

CONSCIOUSNESS. What is your mental atmosphere? Are your internal dreams reflected in your external reality? Do you wonder why some people always seem to attract good and others are a magnet for misfortune? The difference is probably their mental atmosphere. If your mind is consistently focused on abundance then you're going to see the...
