"Always take the optimistic outlook over
everything, and banish all gloom and negativity.
You are surrounded by many wonderful people,
things and experiences in life. Why not
concentrate on them and give thanks for
them, letting go and releasing all that is
unpleasant, unhappy or difficult? By your
attitude and outlook you draw to you the
very best or the very worst in life. Therefore,
if you are blaming your circumstances, life or
people for your misfortunes, look within to see
what you can do to change your attitude. As
you start doing it, little by little you will find
changes taking place, and you will begin to
realise how mightily blessed you are and how
truly wonderful life is. What a joy and a privilege
it is to be alive, to be where you are, doing what
you are doing, surrounded by so many wonderful
things and people.Start right now looking for them.
They are right there, so you will not have to look very far."

"There is a season for all things. There is a beginning and an end for all things. There cannot be a furtherance or continuation without an end. As the trees lose their leaves in the fall, is this the end, the death of the trees, or is it the beginning of the new cycle in another year, or another life of the tree? Think of this. See the tree as the soul, and with each coming season the development of the soul, and with each coming year the growth of the soul. For year by year, life by life, the soul grows ever upward, ever outward, demonstrating that it is of God, and it is becoming more and more, never less. And it puts down good roots so they can raise its branches high. It becomes sturdy and true. Be like the tree. Understand that it is necessary for the soul to enter in through that of the seasons, so there can be that of the transition, year to year, of growth. And simply, the physical life (as you would know it) is but a simple breath in the life of the soul, for the soul is eternal. And if this life is but similar to a breath in the life of the soul, what’s the concern? For you are eternal; you are of God."

“For in the introduction of a plant, not so much the planting of the seed in the soil, you see, but the working with the hands and the face, particularly in the transplanting of the young starts into the Earth and the watering of these, in a sense this is a participation in a birth, a first breath, a refreshing breath of a plant and releases a burst of oxygen into the self and the face. If we could describe it, it is more than that. It is participation with the plant in its work and its purpose, its life purpose, if you will. There is the symbiotic relationship between the human and the plant and in your healing of it and the soil. The soil and the plant in turn heal the self, the body, and even the breathing. For the symbiotic relationship depends a great deal upon your breathing upon the plant as you put it into the soil, giving forth the carbon dioxide, to put it in simple terms. But more effectively perhaps, the breathing of your attitude upon the plant in introducing it to life and the opportunity for expression. In this moment of tenderness between the planter and the planted, there is exchange of vital energies for the healing of both, but in opposite directions. As you give forth that which is released from your body and which stimulates the life of the plant, so the life of the plant in turn gives forth its excess in oxygen, if you will, but more appropriately, in the full breath returning to the human that which is given in love from one to the other and is the most vital of the healing processes.”

As a first step in overcoming any disease, is to take away from the disease the ability to dictate how well you feel. Make that your decision. Take away from the disease any ability to cause worry, hurt, feelings of victimisation, feelings of frustration. Take away from the disease its capacity to dictate any sense or feeling or thought or attitude toward you. Rob the dis-ease of its power over you, its ability to affect you. Become joyous, productive, living life, enjoying.

As you begin to think in such a way, creating an attitude of excitement and full participation in the world around you, of every moment, introduce into your thoughts and your life and the world around you a lot of laughter, as much as possible. Laughter from deep within you that wells up and flows out. For you will find that this laughter, this joy, this excitement, anticipation, acceptance about life, will be the most healing factor that can be experienced, that can be introduced into your plane of existence. It will stimulate and rebuild as nothing else in your world can do. It is the most essential element in beginning to rebuild what you are.

"Learn that lesson, - if ye would be loved, show thyself lovely; if ye would have friends, show thyself friendly; if ye would not be persecuted or talked about, then do not talk about others; if ye would have forgiveness, then forgive - even as ye would be forgiven.

These are not merely as theorems or theses for the contemplation, but are practical, applicable experiences in the manners of the affairs and associations of each individual, if they will but be applied in the experience."
