On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that wisdom is learning what to overlook.
William James said that, and he had it absolutely right.
And someone in your life right now is hoping, praying,
that you will overlook their faults, their foibles, their
most recent mistake.
Will you?
The Universe invites you to say yes.
Love, Your Friend....

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that you can change what you see. You don't have
to be trapped by it.
Nothing has to remain the way it is, and nothing is
the way it is forever unless and until you say so.
You really are in charge of your day-to-day
experience. Really.
You know exactly why you received this message
today.
Love, Your Friend....

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that enthusiasm is half of the journey to success, and
all of the journey to joy.
If you're going to do something, do it with gusto. Don't
do anything half-heartedly. That dishonors the doing
and the doer. So go for it. Hold nothing back. In life.
Or love. Or anything at all.
You will not have to think but a second to know
exactly why you received this message today.
Trust that your inner goodness will rule this moment...
Love, Your Friend
**********
On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that kindness is one of your wonderful traits, but
where you really shine is in your generosity.
It is one thing to be kind, and you are that. Yet it is quite
another thing to also be unfailingly generous--with your
time, your talent and energy, your willingness to
"be there" for others, and yes, with your money.
You are a generous person, and that takes kindness
to a new level. Be happy in the knowingness of this.
Love, Your Friend.

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know......
that life was meant to be FUN! It's hard to believe
sometimes, but it's true. It's all about point of view.
Even our most difficult moments bring us gifts. And so
life may call upon us to be a bit "philosophical" now and
then; to embrace the "low's" with the "high's."
The trick, of course, is gratitude. Therein will you find
both your peace and your joy.
Love, Your Friend
**********
On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that your inner goodness is going to carry the day.
I know that you know what a good person you are.
Yes, we all make mistakes, but when everything is said
and done, you are a genuinely good person...and you
know it.
So here's what you should be told: God knows it, too.
Trust that your inner goodness will rule this moment...
Love, Your Friend...

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that illness is not a sign of spiritual weakness, but of
spiritual strength.
When we fall ill there are some who will say, "Why
did you create that for yourself?" They might convince
you to see it as a sign of spiritual weakness or failure.
It is not. It is a sign of spiritual strength.
All challenges are a sign of spiritual strength, and of
the readiness of the Soul to move on;
to evolve even further.
Love, Your Friend....

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that progress is not measured in miles, it is measured
in inches.
Do not wonder why things are "taking so long." In fact,
everything is rolling out exactly as it needs to, using
not a minute more than Perfection requires.
Rest easy and be at peace. Life is working its magic
even as you take your very next breath.
There. See? You could almost feel the Perfection,
couldn't you?
Love, Your Friend....
**********
On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that how bad things may look right now means nothing.
It's how good you know they can look with God's help
that counts.
Life has a habit of changing itself completely around in
24 hours. Heck, in 24 minutes sometimes.
Don't you dare give up on Tomorrow because of the
way things look Today. Don't even think about it...
Love, Your Friend....
**********
On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that obstacles are not opposing you, but merely and
gently re-routing you.
It is important not to view that which stands in your
way as your 'enemy.' It can often be your best friend,
sending you on a detour that takes you around what
could have been your biggest stumbling block.
Send a word of gratitude, then, for anything that seems
to be 'opposing' you now. All things in life happen for
good. Trust God about that.
Love, Your Friend....
**********
On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that intimacy means more than sex, as you know. Tell
others that, for you, it is about the connection of souls.
It is the true union of two beings. It is about walking
through all moments, both good and bad, and never
leaving the other's side.
You are intimate when you are fully with another, no
matter what. In fact, this has very little to do with that
which is physical.
Love, Your Friend....
**********
On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that you cannot tailor-make your situation in life, but you
can tailor-make your attitudes to fit those situations.
World famous motivational speaker Zig Ziglar said that, and
he was profoundly right. How you shape your attitude is not
a small part of how you shape your life...it is the only part.
Does it sound as if I'm saying that attitude is everything?
Good. Because I am.
Love, Your Friend
**********
On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that someone is extending love to you this day, and
hoping so dearly that you will receive it.
You have asked for someone to love you right now,
and God has answered your prayer. Look. Listen.
That loving person is right in your world. Open the
door for them to come in.
I promise you, I'm not making this up. Someone is
loving you right now. Look. Listen. Let it in.
There, I've said it twice. God wanted me to make sure
you really got it.
Love, Your Friend
**********
On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that there is no need to be afraid. Even if you were to
die right now, there would be no need to be afraid.
This life, this wonderful life, is on your side. This universe,
this wonderful universe, is in your corner, supporting all
of life. This God, this wonderful God, places Divine
wisdom and power in your hands.
Trust that. Use it. And let it give you strength. Right now.
This day.
Love, Your Friend..
**********
On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that there is a solution to all of this--and it is right
around the next corner.
A few weeks from now you will not even be facing
this problem. A few months from now, you will have
forgotten you ever had it. A few years from now, you
will wonder why you let yourself worry so much.
I'm not trying to make light of it here. I just want to
put it in perspective.
Okay? Trust God here. Trust life. And breathe.
Love, Your Friend.
**********
On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that you can live a charmed life, and that there is a
formula by which you can make this work.
Here is the formula: You can live a charmed life by
causing others to live a charmed life. That is, be the
source of 'charm' -- of charming moments and
experiences -- in the life of another.
Be everyone else's Lucky Charm! Make all who you
touch today feel 'lucky' that you crossed their path.
Do this for a week and watch things change. Do it
for a month and you'll be a different person.
Love, Your Friend
*********
On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that nothing is as bad as it seems. Nothing.
There is a benefit and a blessing hidden in the folds
of every experience and every outcome. That includes
every and any 'bad' thing that may be happening to
you right now.
Change your perspective. Know that nothing happens
ever that is not for your highest good. All that needs
to change for you to see this...is your definition of
'Highest Good.'
Love, Your Friend..

On this day of your life, Melodie, I believe God wants you to know...
...that disappointment is temporary. Only your thought
it is permanent.
Change your mind about what has disappointed you
and you will change your life. All disappointment is
just Advantage, looked at from the other side.
You will not have to think but a second to know
exactly why you received this message today.
Love, Your Friend....
**********
On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that the best argument you can make
is no argument
at all.
Do not argue with life, or with anyone in life. Life
presents itself perfectly in every moment, and every
person believe his or her point of view to be valid
and 'right.'
Arguing with any of this is pointless, and a terrific
waste of energy. Simply create what you choose next.
Love, Your Friend
***********
On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that you've just had a really good idea!
Don't deny it! Don't cast it aside, or "put if off 'til
tomorrow," or in some other way give it short shrift.
Ideas are gifts from heaven. Don't dishonor them.
Jump right on it. Make it happen.
That's what ideas are for!
You will not have to think but a second to know
exactly why you received this message today.
Love, Your Friend

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that perfectionism is the enemy of creation.
John Updike said that, and he was right. He understood
that nothing stops the forward march of any creative
endeavor like the need to do it absolutely perfectly.
And who is to judge what is 'perfect' anyway? What I
have judged full of flaws so many others have called
terrific. Maybe the definition of Perfection is something
that actually gets done.
Love, Your Friend....
**********
On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that you should act like you expect to get into the
end zone.
Football coach Joe Paterno said that, and boy, did
he have it right. Nothing substitutes for positive thinking.
Nothing. It is more powerful than all the money, all the
influence, all the 'friends in high places' on earth.
You only need one friend in high places--and you already
have that. So go ahead, expect to get into the end zone.
You'll find that you do, 90% of the time.
Love, Your Friend....
**********
On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that life begins now -- right now -- not tomorrow or
the next day or the next.
Every minute of every hour of every day, life begins
anew. That means everything can change in an instant.
It also means you can have a new beginning
whenever you want.
Why put off for one day that decision you've been
pondering...aren't you just putting life itself on hold?
Love, Your Friend
**********
On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...
...that it's okay to go ahead and take a risk.
There's no guarantee that everything will turn out exactly
the way you want it to, but there IS a guarantee that it
cannot possibly do so if you are afraid to even take the
chance.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained" is not just a nifty
old-time saying. It's wisdom. Listen to it.
You know exactly why you received this message today.
