Talking about commitment usually evokes various responses. The compassionate samurai believes that it means doing what he says he’s going to do. The average person believes in this concept . . . some of the time. He believes that he should do what he says he’s going to when conditions are optimal or conducive for keeping his word. But honestly, commitment doesn’t have conditions. A compassionate samurai follows through whether it feels good or not; average people do what they feel like doing.

We all have those friends that we love to hate. You know the ones I’m talking about – the friends that Lady Luck always seems to shine upon. They can do no wrong, and they have a great career, a great family, and a great life in general. Happiness just seems attracted to them like a magnet.

Have you ever considered that happiness doesn’t just seem attracted to these people – that maybe happiness really is attracted to them like a magnet? That’s the theory behind the law of attraction. With the right outlook, manifesting happiness is fairly easy!

Money is neither good nor bad; it is energy. It is the way money is used that determines whether or not it is a positive energy that will benefit you and others. If you come from the highest level of integrity with your money, if you make it in ways that benefit people, through shifting their consciousness, or through serving and making a contribution, by giving your best, honoring others, and putting attention and consciousness into what you do, you are making a contribution to humanity and to yourself. When you use money in ways that serve your higher purpose and bring you and others joy, you are creating money of light. The more money is made and spent with integrity and light, the more it becomes a force of light for everyone.

There are no secrets, just truths and powerful laws of creation that remain hidden from our awareness until we are ready to hear them. The law of manifestation is just as concrete as the laws of physics – in fact, the law of manifestation incorporates the laws of physics and chemistry.

We have the power within us to clearly imagine what we wish to achieve. The more often we focus our powerful thoughts on our dreams and goals, the closer we come to realizing those dreams.

The law is not complicated; in fact it is very simple. This is one reason why so few people understand it: It appears simple, obvious, or strangely enigmatic and puzzling. And we’ve heard it a thousand times before.
