• Either in or out of time, the decision of a personal agency to commit an action happens antecedent to the action itself.

Now I'd better decide to do it.

• People want to care about people. People look after each other, given the chance. ...

• The common meaning of gratitude is to be thankful for benefits received. While this is important, I feel that the energy of gratitude is one of the most powerful attracting forces in the universe. A heart filled with Thanksgiving, even when appearances tell us that we are mired in scarcity, conflict, and affliction, moves us to a higher frequency in consciousness and we soon witness reality shining through the illusion.
