The Secret daily teaching

Every night before you fall asleep, give heartfelt thanks for the wonderful day you just had (no matter what kind of day you had).  Think about the next day, and intend that it is going to be wonderful.  Intend that it is going to be the best day of your life.  Intend that it is going to be filled with love and joy.  Intend that all good is coming to you and everything is going to flow perfectly.  Then when you wake up in the morning, BEFORE you get out of bed, again declare your intentions for the day and give deep thanks as though you have received them all.  As you do this, you will begin to create your life deliberately, and you will experience firsthand the power that is within you to create the life you want.

stubborn heart

Oh this stubborn heart of mine
will not give me peace
and not even with the passage of time
will it give release
each handsome new face
only provides temporary relief

Oh this stubborn heart of mine
has made a strong decision
It won't allow anyone to take your place
and fights your honor with precision

What's this worn out girl to do?
What's this tattered dame to pass,
when her heart dwells only on you?

tell me how to free myself
of this longing grip
tell me how to ease the pain
tell me why I trip

tell me you don't care for me
that you are happy where you are
tell me that you never miss me
and that it didn't leave a scar

don't let me be disillusioned
don't let me falsely hope
that you really love me
don't lead me by a rope

I wish I was like you
and able to move on easy
I wish I was like you
who makes it seem so breezy

falling into life

I had a really strange dream last night, where I was with a group of people assembled around a hole.  We were there to witness an event... a young girl falling into a kind of dark man hole in the ground.  It was a bit of a scary experience for her, and I got a little freaked out, too, and wanted to catch her and keep her from going in, but it was something I was just there to watch and not interfere with.  She kind of just dove in and screamed on her way down.. then I woke up.  I felt like I had a strong connection with her, like she was on her way to my end and that I would see her soon.
I looked up what it meant to dream of a dark hole or tunnel, and apparently it represents the womb and birth.  I think I witnessed someone's conception or birth... but who's? Is someone I know pregnant? I know it's not me... maybe I'm going to be an aunt ;o)

break through

"In life and in society, there will inevitably be hurdles or walls of various kinds that obstruct our way forward.  In order to surmount them, we ourselves need to make great strides in our self-development.  We need to become strong.

Speaking of the time of youth, with its many worries and problems, the Swiss philosopher Carl Hilty (1833-1909) suggested that young people adopt as their motto "Break through!"  The thicker the wall of obstacles we face, the more we must summon forth our inner power and strength to break through it.  This is precisely what the process of human revolution is all about." - Daisaku Ikeda
