Lengthening Daylight
I always look forward to the twenty-first of December. It's the shortest day of the year; if you're
like me, winter darkness begins to feel all encompassing by then and I start to
lose hope. But now that we're a few days
past this annual milestone I am filled with hope once more!
Lengthening days remind me that spring is on its way. Expanding sunlight also reminds me that
increase is always the result of active living; whatever lives must live more
and more or it will die! The cycle of
the seasons is such a great reminder of this natural principle! I hope you'll make a commitment with me to apply
this principle more fully this coming year.
Here is my principle statement for 2012: My thoughts are determined by my faith, and
the results of my life depend upon making personal application of my faith.
In other words, I will remember that I can have all the
faith in the world, I can have only good thoughts, but if I don't go out into
the world and take action to make my thoughts and faith a reality then I am not
truly living. A person must express and
externalize thought in their outward life by acting the same way that they
think or they are not living by natural principle.
I'm looking out at my garden spot right now and I know that
the seeds I've purchased and set aside will not grow in that garden if I don't
go out at the appropriate time and put them in the soil. When I put them in the soil they become
active, and at once begin to gather to themselves from the surrounding
substance and build plants that will cause such increase that one seed head will
produce perhaps hundreds of seeds, each having as much life as the first. Life, by living, increases!
Increase your life by planning for abundance now and then
acting on your plan every day. Act on
your fundamental impulse of life to live; go out and chase your dreams in the
real world so you can see the results of the life your living. Continuously advance into more life and keep
progressing toward your vision of perfect life.
Be a seeker of life!
