“Intentional living will eradicate the need of excuse as well as the constant submission to distraction. Allow yourself to “become wealthy in self-significance!” Allow yourself to become enriched in Spirit. Remember, there is no trouble. Trouble is “created” and established when we “see ourselves inferior” to what we are facing. When we lack power, we lack movement! When we lack hope, we lack momentum! Trouble will disappear “as soon as our Mindset becomes enriched!” When we can afford to see things clearly, without depression or self-doubt, we have awakened our new heart!”

― Shannon L. Alder

“Your own Self-Realization is the greatest service you can render the world.”
