Nothing Real Can Be Threatened
Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God. A Course In Miracles makes a fundamental distinction between the real and unreal; between knowledge and perception. Knowledge is truth under one law, the law of love or God. Truth is unalterable, eternal and unambiguous. It can be unrecognized, but it cannot be changed. It applies to everything that God created, and only what He created is real. It is beyond learning because it is beyond time and process. It has no opposite; no beginning and no end. It merely is.

Be Strong and Don’t Give Up
Remember…there is a deeper strength and an amazing abundance of peace available to you. Draw from this well; call on your faith to uphold you. Life continues around us, even when our troubles seem to stop time. There is always good in life. Take a few minutes to distract yourself from your concerns — long enough to draw strength from a tree or to find pleasure in a bird’s song. Return a smile; realize that life is a series of levels, cycles of ups and downs — some easy, some challenging. Through it all, we learn; we grow strong in faith; we mature in understanding. The difficult times are often the best teachers, and there is good to be found in all situations. Reach for the good. Be strong, and don’t give up.

Love
“Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own”
Robert Heinlein
What Surprises Me Most….by: Dalai Lama
“What surprises me most about humanity is man. He sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies never having really lived.” – Dalai Lama
Character
“Be more concerned with character than your reputation because character is who you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are” John Wooden
You Have to Take Risks
“You have to take risks…ask a good looking man for his phone number, send the resume to your dream job, buy a lottery ticket…life doesn’t happen unless you take chances. You won’t get a second chance so you open yourself up to the possibility”
Terry Hatcher
Always Aim High
“It would break my heart if, in falling short of my goal, I, in any way, discouraged any of you from pursuing yours. When you stumble, keep the faith. And when you’re knocked down, get right back up and never listen to anyone who says you can’t or shouldn’t go on. Always aim high, work hard and care deeply about what you believe in. You need to work hard for what still can be…have optimism and confidence for the days ahead. Time is too precious. None of us can go it alone. The dreams you share are worth fighting for”
Hillary Clinton, 2008 Presidential Convention
That First Step
“I have found that you do have only to take that one step toward the Gods, and they will then take ten steps toward you. That step, the heroic first step of the journey, is out of, or over the edge of, your boundaries, and it often must be taken before you know that you will be supported” Diane K. Osbon
Pain will Make You Stronger
I have seen so many people find happiness only after going through a difficult experience. It was actually the pain that made them strong enough to get what they wanted. Rachel Greenwald
