To Bloom Like A Lotus (A Spiritual Thought for Each Day of the Year)

'Well begun is half done'- this is a spiritual truth, which has greater implications in our day-to-day life than we realize.

Begin your day well, with a positive thought, and the rest of it that follows generally turns out positive. The reverse is also true. A negative thought or experience at the beginning of your day will influence the rest of it.

This is the reason all great spiritual master have impressed upon the world the importane of the spiritual truth, "The circle begins with ME." The wisdom they wish to impart is that by our thoughts we create our world. By our mind we build our limitation. By our perception we create our reality. The circle begins with me; I am the marker of my own destiny.

It is with a similar intention, as those of the great spiritual masters of the past, that I offer you the way to bloom like a Lotus. 365 thoughts are put before you to meditate upon at the beginning of each day. They will lead you deeper into your self and stay with you throughout your day. If you conemplate on them regularly you will find a lasting peace, joy and stability within your Self.

Your anchor will become an internal one and will keep you stable throughout your life.

Accept responsibility for creating your reality and as I always say, "Live Life God Size." We are all, without exception, children of God. To live with this awareness, moment to moment, connected to our reality is to Live Life God Size.
