Most important was the discovery that spiritual principles would solve all my problems. -- Anonymous
That is one of my favorite quotes. It became a favorite when I took the time to understand it.
Say I am diagnosed with Stage 4 liver cancer, spiritual principles are not going to be the healer of the cancer. But the cancer is not my problem. Fear of the cancer is my problem...fear of all I'm projecting that it is going to put me through.
Fear of the future...fear of the projected pain...fear of death...fear. I tend to believe that fear is the source of all our woes.
Spiritual principles, hear my plea! And my plea is thank you. Nothing lessens the power of fear like thank you or welcome!
God lives in gratitude...grow an attitude of gratitude, and cancer may or may not still be with us, but we'll be reasonably fret-free about it. (Just as an aside, going in for chemo treatments requires trepidation at least...if we're doing it right.)
I do not now have nor have I ever had cancer, but I do have an incurable, progressive disease which, I am convinced, will kill me if I forget about gratitude.
Such a small adjustment to make to live happy, joyous and free. Plain and simple, we change our mind. That starts with thank you...and who is the "you" we're thanking? A Power greater than our self. God.
Thank you.
