Three of the Best Advice (From Our Fathers)
Fathers significantly serve as an example to their children and inevitably affect our lives. Here is some superb advice that successful people have received from their dad that influenced the course of their lives for the better. 1. Begin With The End In Mind “To begin with the end in mind means to start with a clear understanding of your destination. It means to know where you’re going so that you better understand where you are now and so that the steps you take are always in the right direction.” — Stephen R.

Spiritual Reflections on “The Four Noble Truths” by Gautama Buddha
There were many ascended masters that have come and gone. There was Jesus of Nazareth, Lao Tzu, Saint Germaine, and countless other prophets and truth-sayers. One of these ascended masters was Gautama Buddha. Though many of the ascended master have not written their teachings, preferring instead to voice their teachings to their disciples.

Thoughts on Deliberate Intentions
Life delivers what you ask. Not by the words you speak but by the energy that you put out. If you complain, the universe will happily find more stuff for you to complain. In fact, it will move mountains to match that energy that you put out. Bringing with it more things for you to complain about. If you are thankful, the universe will move mountains, bringing with it more stuff for you to be thankful for. This universe is a universe of energy. This energy will always seek to match the energy that you are. The more you are aware of this law, the more you can live by…

How to Pray (The Secret Way of Praying to Unlock Blessings)
The power of prayer is well-documented. It is similar to the power of meditation and deep visualization. Greg Bradden’s book: Secrets of the Lost Mode of Prayer: The Hidden Power of Beauty, Blessing, Wisdom, and Hurt rediscovers prayer and examines our mode of praying. The book shows a sure way to pray that many of us have forgotten. How we pray now is much different than how our ancestors prayed — and possibly how most spiritual masters taught it. Praying is a way to feel the reality we are asking for to manifest. It is not a way to re-assert our current reality or present how things are to gain…
