 FEBRUARY
HOPE

Napoleon Hill, an American author in the early 1900s, knew about hope.

In a chapter of one of his most famous books, Napoleon Hill tells about a boy who was born without ears and the doctor said that the boy would be a deaf mute all of his life. The boys father objected to this. "It can not be so and it will not be so," said the father when the doctor had given the parents this tragic information. The father was Napoleon Hill himself and the newly born boy without any ears was his own son.

Napoleon challenged the doctor´s opinion with reason as the boys father. At that moment Napoleon made a decision that his son will be able to hear and speak, but Napoleon expressed this decision only within himself, within his hearts chamber. You could give him a child without ears but you could not demand that Napoleon would accept this reality. In his mind he knew there were a way and that he would find it.

He thought of the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson; "The whole course of things goes to teach us faith. We need only obey. There is guidance for each of us, and by lowly listening we shall hear the right word." The right word? DESIRE. More than anything else he desired that his son would be able to hear and speak. And from this desire Napoleon did not back down - not even for one second.

JUNE
"If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber’d here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
if you pardon, we will mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to ‘scape the serpent’s tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call;
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends.”

Pucks epilogue from Shakespeares "A midsummer nights dream"



JULY
Where we all ought to begin is a good thought to help us all sing. Then a good word will be a fruitful seed to lift our world through a good deed.

How unthoughtful then to believe our future a friend, if not our thought be good, say not what we ought and do not know we should.

Verily, where we all ought to begin is a good thought to help us all sing. Then a good word will be a fruitful seed to lift our world through a good deed.

A good word, truly, a good world.



AUGUST
SILENCE BIRTH

An hour of silence birth, an hour of true worth. In its silent room we all bloom and all can bear from month to year. Verily, an hour of silence birth, an hour of true worth.




One creates one´s future through one´s inner dialog. If one changes one´s inner dialog one changes what one says and one´s reality.

 

 
To talk to oneself is something we all do. We can not stop talking to ourself just as we can not stop eating and drinking. All we can do is to direct our inner dialog and its content.

Most of us are unaware that our inner dialog creates the circumstances of our life and it has also been said that as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. Do we know though that one´s thinking follow the path of one´s inner dialog.
One creates one´s future through one´s inner dialog. If one changes one´s inner dialog one changes what one says and one´s reality. So, be aware of your inner dialog and direct it.

“If you will assume your desire and live there as though it were true, no power on earth can stop it from becoming a fact.”

Neville Goddard



OCTOBER
A GOOD WORD

Where we all ought to begin is a good thought to help us all sing. Then a good word will be a fruitful seed to lift our world through a good deed.

How unthoughtful then to believe our future a friend, if not our thought be good, say not what we ought and do not what we should.

Verily, where we all ought to begin is a good thought to help us all sing. Then a good word will be a fruitful seed to lift our world through a good deed.

A good word, truly, a good world.
