"Nothing occurs in your life ---nothing---which is not first a thought. Thoughts are
like magnets, drawing effects to you."

"You are wont to rush to judgment, to call a thing "wrong" or "bad" or "not enough,"
rather than to bless what you do not choose."

"You do not have a clear focus; you are not really sure what is true for you. And the
universe is just a big Xerox machine. It simply produces multiple copies of your
thoughts. Now there is only one way to change all that. You have to change your
thought about it."

"Nothing stays the same, nothing remains static. Which way a thing changes depends
on you."

"I Am the still small voice within which knows which way to turn, which path to
take, which answer to give, which action to implement, which word to say - which
reality to create if you truly seek communion and unity with Me."

"Begin by being still. Quiet the outer world, so that the inner world might bring
you sight."

"There is nothing you can`t have if you choose it. Even before you ask, I will have
given it to you."

"You are in a partnership with God. We share an eternal covenant. My promise to you
is to always give you what you ask. Your promise is to ask."

p.10: But so far that's how you've decided to live your Life. You keep changing
your mind. Remember, life is an ongoing process of creation. You are creating
your reality every minute. The decision you make today is often not the choice you
make tomorrow. Yet here is a secret of all Masters: keep choosing the same thing.
Over and over until your will is made manifest in your reality. For some that
could take years. For some, months. For others, weeks. For those approaching
mastery, days, hours, or even minutes. For Masters, creation is instantaneous.

p.11: Nothing is difficult for Me - but you might be making things very difficult
for yourself (when you change your mind). Therefore, be of one mind and of single
purpose about a thing. And don't take your mind off of it until you have produced
it in reality. Keep focused. Stay centered. That is what is meant by being
single-minded. If you choose something, choose it with all your might, with all
your heart. Don't be faint-hearted. Keep going! Keep moving toward it. Be
determined.

p.12-13: (Why does it take so much time for me to create the reality I choose?) For
a number of reasons. Because you do not believe you can have what you choose.
Because you do not know what to choose. Because you keep trying to figure out
what's "best" for you. Because you want guarantees ahead of time that all your
choices will be "good". And because you keep changing your mind! ... When you spend
your time trying to figure out what's "best" for you, you are doing just that:
spending your time. Better to save your time than to spend it wastefully. It is a
great time-saver to be out of your mind. Decisions are reached quickly, choices are
activated rapidly, because your soul creates out of present experience only,
without review, analysis, and criticism of past encounters.

Time to renew hope..

Come to the edge.
We might fall.
Come to the edge.
It's too high!
Come to the edge!
And they came,
and he pushed,
and they flew.
