Give the best of you. Give your love because it's the magnet to all the riches of life. When you give love, you are fulfilling the entire purpose of your life. When you give love, you'll receive back so much love and joy that you'll feel it's almost more than you can take. But you can take unlimited love and joy, because it's who you are.

You came into this world with your love and it's the only thing you take with you. While you are here, every time you choose the positive, every time you choose to feel good, you are giving love and with it you light up the world. And everything you can wish for, dream of, you love will follow you wherever you go........ You have the greatest force in the universe within you.

Chapter 11-"The Power and You"

"The power for happiness, for good, for everything we need of life is within each one of us". Do you see how important it is that you feel good before you begin your day? If you don't take the time to feel good, then you can't receive good things in your day. And once negative things come, it takes far more effort to change them, because once they're in front of you, you really believe in them! It's much easier to take the time to feel good so that they don't come in the first place. You can change anything in your life by changing the way you feel.

Life is magical! What happens in one day of your life is more magical than any fantasy movie you can see, but you have to look at what is happening with the same concentration as when you watch a movie. If you're watching a movie and you fall asleep, you miss what happens. It's the same thing with the movie of your life that is constantly showing on the screen of your day . If you sleep and you're not alert, you miss the messages that are constantly speaking to you, guiding and directing you in your life!

You give the meaning to everything in life. No situation comes with a label of good or bad. Everything is neutral. A relationship isn't good or bad in and of itself, it's just a relationship, but how you feel about it determines whether it will be good or bad.

"As your faith is strengthened you will find that there is no longer the need to have a sense of control, that things will flow as they will, and that you will flow with them, to your great delight and benefit".

Chapter 10-"The Power and Health"

What does it mean to be healthy? You may think that being healthy means that you are not sick, but being healthy is far more than that. If you feel okay, everage or nothing much at all, you aren't healthy.

Being healthy is feeling the same way as little children feel. Little children are full of energy every day. Their bodies feel light and flexible; moving is effortless. Their minds are clear, they're happy and free of worry and stress. They sleep deeply and peacefully every night and they wake up feeling completely refreshed, as if with a brand-new-body. They feel passionate and excited about every new day. Look at little children and you will see what being healthy means. It is the way you used to feel and it's the way you should still feel!.

Be grateful for your body instead of finding fault with it. Every time you have a thought of something you don't like about your body, remember that the water inside your body is receiving your feelings. Instead say thank you with all your heart for what you do like about your body and ignore the things you don't like.

Gratitude is the great multiplier, so say thank you for your health every single day. All the money in the world can't buy health, because it's a gift from life, and so more than anything else, be grateful for your health! It's the best health insurance you can ever take, because gratitude is the assurance of health!.

Chapter 9-"The Power and Relationships"

"What you give to others,you give to yourself". Give love to others through kindness, encouragement, support, gratitude or any good feeling and it comes back to you and multiplies itself, bringing love to every other area of your life including your health, money, happiness and career. And if you give negativity to others through criticism, anger, impatience or any bad feeling, and you will receive that negativity back - guaranteed! And as the negativity comes back, it multiplies itself, attracting more negativity, which affects the rest of your life. Remember: "There's no such thing as a small act of kindness".

Life presents everything to you so that you can choose what you love. It doesn't mean you are responsible for other people's happiness. What it means is there's nothing else for you to do but to feel happy yourself. Love is the solution and the answer to every relationships. You can never improve a relationship with negativity. Use the Creation Process for your relationships and give love to receive. Use the Keys to Power to your relationships.

Love can do anything for you! All you have to do is give love by feeling good and negativity in your relationships will fade away. Whenever you are faced with a negative situation in a relationship, the solution is always LOVE! You won't know how it will be solved and you can never know how, but if you maintain feeling good and give love, it will happen....

Chapter 8-"The Power and Money"

How do you feel about the money? Most people would say they love money, but if they don't have enough money, they don't feel good about it at all. If a person has all the money they need, then most certainly they feel good about money. If you look out in the world, you will see that the mojority of people don't feel good about money, because the majority of the world's money and riches is in the hands of about 10% of the people. The only difference between the wealthy people and everyone else is that the wealthy people give more good feelings about money than they do bad feelings. It's as simple as that.

It doesn't matter what financial state you are right now. It doesn't matter what financial state your business, your country or the world is in. There is no such thing as a hopeless situation. There are people who lived during the great depression who overcome it because they knew how to handle those kind of problems. And in fact, poverty is not the hindrance to success. Just keep on going and you can reach what you want in your life...

You are meant to have the money you need to live a full life. You aren't meant to be suffering from a lack of money, because suffering adds negativity to the world. The beauty of life is that when you put love first, all the money you need to live a full life comes to you...Remember that: "Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success"..!!!

Chapter 7-"Keys to Power"

The keys to power are the most powerful ways to harness the force of love and receive the life we are meant to live. So how do you fall in love with life? It's the same way you fall in love with another person - you adore everything about them! You fall in love with another person by seeing only love, hearing only love, speaking only love and by feeling love with all your heart! And that is exactly how you use the ultimate power of love to fall in love with life.

The good news is that the more you give love, the more alert and aware we will become! Love brings complete alertness. Your mind is a powerful and magnificent tool you can use, but you must be in control of it. Rather than letting it distruct you with out -of-control thoughts, you want your mind to help you give love.

And take note also guys that we have to be grateful everyday. Be grateful for everything you have received in your life (past). Be grateful for everything you are receiving in your life (present). Be grateful for what you want in your life, as though you have received it (future).

When anything good happens to you in your day, give thanks. It doesn't matter how small it is,say thank you. Every spare second is an opportunity to be grateful and multiply the things you love. Be grateful! Gratitude costs you nothing, but it is worth more than all the riches in the world. Gratitude enriches you with all the riches in life, because whatever you're grateful for multiplies!
