Instead Of Looking At Difficulties As Deprivations,

Today, Everything I Do From Morning Meditation On - Eating Breakfast, Going For A Walk, Writing, Reading, Even Recreation - Is Governed By One Purpose Only: How To Give The Very Best Account Of My Life That I Can In The Service Of All.

Through Meditation And By Giving Full Attention To One Thing At A Time, We Can Learn To Direct Attention Where We Choose.

An Unhurried Mind Brings The Capacity To Make Wise Choices Every Day - Choices Of How We Use Our Time, Of Where We Place Our Resources And Our Love. I Am Not Just Talking About Avoiding The Rat Race, But About A Life Full Of An Artistic Beauty - A Life That Has Almost Vanished From Modern Civilization, But Is Quite Within The Reach Of Everyone.

Love Is So Exquisitely Elusive. It Cannot Be Bought, Cannot Be Badgered, Cannot Be Hijacked. It Is Available Only In One Rare Form: As The Natural Response Of A Healthy Mind And Healthy Heart.

The Things We Think About, Brood On, Dwell On, And Exult Over Influence Our Life In A Thousand Ways. When We Can Actually Choose The Direction Of Our Thoughts Instead Of Just Letting Them Run Along The Grooves Of Conditioned Thinking, We Become The Masters Of Our Own Lives.
