As a result, we may commit many unwholesome actions. <br/><br/>Our future life is determined by our intentional actions today, just as our present life is heir to our previous intentional behavior. Intentional actions committed under the influence of anger cannot lead to a happy future.</font></p></td></tr></tbody></table></center><p align="center"> </p><center><table bordercolor="#808000" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="7" width="80%" border="1"><tbody><tr><td width="100%"><center></center><p align="center"><font face="Arial" color="#800000" size="4"><b>A Fresh Start Now</b></font></p><p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2">The greatest power you possess for succeeding in life is your understanding that life gives you a fresh start any moment you choose to start fresh.<br/><br/>You've only to test the truth of this fact about the newness of life to discover the incredible freedom that waits for you just behind it.<br/><br/>Nothing that stood in your way even a heartbeat before stands there now in the same way. It's all new, even if you can't as yet see it that way.</font></p></td></tr></tbody></table></center><p align="center"> </p> <p align="center"><table bordercolor="#808000" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="7" width="80%" border="1"><tbody><tr><td width="100%"><center></center><p align="center"><font face="Arial" color="#800000" size="4"><b>Finding Spiritual Guidance</b></font></p><p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2">Look for spiritual guidance everywhere and at any time... Spiritual guidance is not restricted to one area, or one particular day, or one particular time of the day. <br/><br/>While you may be more open to receiving your guidance in the quiet hours of the early morning, or the late night, your spiritual guidance is always present. It is present in books that you 'happen' to come across, articles you are attracted to reading, things you hear that when looked at from that perspective apply to your situation.<br/><br/>Perhaps if we expected to receive spiritual guidance at each and every moment of our lives instead of simply in church on Sunday, or when we sit quietly in meditation, we would receive many more messages throughout the day.</font></p></td></tr></tbody></table></p><p align="center"> </p><center><table bordercolor="#808000" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="7" width="80%" border="1"><tbody><tr><td width="100%"><center></center><p align="center"><font face="Arial" color="#800000" size="4"><b>Emotions Have an Effect!</b></font></p><p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2">Every emotion that surges or trickles through you causes a physical reaction somewhere in the body. A minor upset may take a couple of days to register as a headache or backache; a more vehement explosion of anger or hatred directed at someone could result in a terrible case of ulcers or colitis, because that emotion is pounding your body.<br/><br/>But just as negative emotions have a negative effect on the body, so too do positive emotions have a positive effect.</font></p></td></tr></tbody></table></center><p align="center"> </p><center><table bordercolor="#808000" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="7" width="80%" border="1"><tbody><tr><td width="100%"><center></center><p align="center"><font face="Arial" color="#800000" size="4"><b>We are all teachers and students</b></font></p><p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2">We are all teachers and students. You learn (hopefully) from the people in your life, and they have the opportunity to learn from you as well.<br/><br/>We are all 'in the same boat' and if we start learning from each other and sharing what we have learned with others, perhaps we can get to where we're going faster.<br/><br/>Sometimes we learn from people's mistakes, sometimes from their examples, but always we have the opportunity to look around us and see 'little mirrors' of ourselves.</font></p></td></tr></tbody></table></center><center></center>
