Time passes a birthday wish

Birthday Wish

Today is my birthday. By many standards I am old. I turn sixty today. I don’t feel all that old. What I feel is regret. Time passes and it passes quickly. My regret is not for anything I have done, but for the things I have not done. So today, on my birthday, as time passes still, I have a birthday wish.

Don’t wait!

My wish is not something for me, but for you. The wish is, don’t wait. Don’t wait for what? Don’t wait to understand how life works and use that understanding to make your life better. What do I mean?

I have studied what I call life’s universal laws for decades. I don’t remember the first time I read Think and Grow Rich. It started me on my journey and I still read it. What I didn’t do is put into practice what that book taught me until years later. Why? I don’t know. I guess I didn’t fully believe.

What are the laws?

There are several laws that we can use to live by. Most of them are similar to others in one way or another. I have seven that I have gleaned from them all that I use for my own life. I didn’t make them up, but borrowed them from several differing sources. They are as follows.

• I am part of the Infinite.
• Life energy flows from the Infinite to me and through me.
• My beliefs, thoughts, and actions create my reality
• I determine my limitations
• I receive from life in relation to what I put into it
• Hardships happen, but I always have a choice
• Ultimately, I am responsible for my own life and happiness.

What these all mean I will not go into now. I am sure you can figure most of them out on your own. It is not my intention to teach them to you here, only to say that this is what I live by. What are yours?

What are yours?

You don’t have to accept mine, but I think you will find that they are representative of the basic laws. Sure there are others and some of those others might mean more to you. That’s fine. Choose what seems good to you, but that’s not my wish.

The Wish

Do something about them! That’s the wish. Don’t wait! Don’t be stupid and ignore the great teachings from so many masters that tell us the same things over and over again. Listen and learn. Listen and do. This stuff is not wish on a star kind of stuff, it is work, but the rewards are so abundant they are hard to believe.

If you are young, meaning under sixty, don’t hold back like I did. I would be rich according to my greatest dreams and have very little regrets if I had followed the wisdom. If you are old, don’t fall into the trap of thinking that you are too old to start now. It is never too late! The rewards come quickly if you will apply the laws.

Here’s to You!
