Bringing our individual will into harmony with divine will, which serves the good of all, opens us to the resources of the universe itself. The universe, or the larger life of God, is self-supporting. Know that it provides what is needed to fulfill its purposes.

Focusing on the faults of others assures little spiritual progress. The only truly effective work we can do is on ourselves. There is great power in embracing our own work.

Criticizing or blaming others diverts us from the important task of realizing our power to change. Empowerment rests on our willingness to claim responsibility for our experience. It is up to us to live with power and freedom. No one gives that to us and no one can take it away.

The critical mind leaves out the compassionate heart. Only seeing a single aspect-the error-the critical mind cannot grasp what the heart knows. Begin now to view yourself and others with the holistic vision of the heart.

Everyone seeks healing and makes many errors along the way. Criticizing and blaming others only exacerbates the wound. Love heals it.

Both compassion and wisdom are necessary. Without wisdom, compassion becomes sentiment or pity rather than a true expression of divine love. Without compassion, wisdom cannot reach its highest potential in divine love.

Each day should include some physical work that is useful. Physical work strengthens the body and calms the mind through concentration on the task. It connects us to the earth and the holy present moment. Every day nourish the body, the mind, and the spirit.
