Today’s Message
Repetition and practice helps us master lots of things. That cannot be more true than for positive thinking. If we 
practice it just a little every day, our outcomes will definitely be more positive. This occurs because what we focus on expands. As we focus on positive thoughts, the negative, self-limiting ones dissipate.
Today’s Quote
“I discovered that learning the computer was very much like learning the Spiritual Laws. When I learned the computer laws, then she did indeed perform ‘magic’ for me. When I did not follow her laws to the letter, then either nothing would happen or it would not work the way I wanted it to work. She would not give an inch. I could get as frustrated as I wanted while she patiently waited for me to learn her laws, and then she gave me magic. It took practice.” You Can Heal Your Life, (Louise Hay, Author, Professional Speaker, & Publisher, b.1926)

Today’s Message
Compassion is a powerful tool that transforms lives. Rather than get disgusted, frustrated or angry at a fellow person, choose compassion instead. Say this right now: “Today, I will focus on seeing from the other person’s point of view.” The moment something happens that creates an instant reaction from you, stop yourself and repeat the statement again. When you do this, you are certain to be less likely to act in an unloving fashion.
Note: Today’s exercise comes from 7 Days to Inner Peace, Building Block 6: Compassion
