Surrender to the magic

Surrender to the magic, Victorio. That's why it's there. That's why you're there -- to learn that there really are miracles and that they abound, as if on command, once you understand the truth about your reality and heritage.

Surrender, yet prepare.

Ask, yet expect.

You can do this. You've been doing it your entire life. Be swift and awaken to the truth, because for the new souls now watching, your successes will also be theirs.

It's good to be you,

The Universe

It's also good to be the Universe, huh, Victorio?

life is...

You see, Victorio, life isn't supposed to be all "cakewalk" and no "baking."

Especially not for those who like to experiment, take risks, and be surprised.

Please pass the sparklers,

The Universe

Sound like anyone you know, Victorio?

The road to paradise

What one little thing could you do today, Victorio, within your means and your comfort zone, that would make you feel like a supercoolhappylovething?

Get down on it,

The Universe

The road to paradise, Victorio, is made up of little steps, on a mostly dirt path, with earwigs and moss scattered about, guarded by a few armadillos and the occasional lonely pine, beautified mostly with wild dandelion flowers and dusty moths, within earshot of crickets that have no concept of when they should actually be singing. But hey, we're talking about the road to paradise....

Accepting full responsibility

Accepting full responsibility for every little thing in your life, Victorio, is what opens the floodgates to joy and power.

Or to what we here call "joypower."

Every little thing,

The Universe

We 'r' words, Victorio... 'cause words create worlds.

Choose your destiny

Should you choose to go, do, and be, Victorio, at the end of your life, shocked and dismayed, you'll likely exclaim that because of all the uncanny events, wild timing, weird coincidences, and sheer chance encounters, all of your life's good fortune must have been your destiny.

Or, should you choose to wait, wish, and hope, at the end of your life, shocked and dismayed, you'll likely exclaim that because of all the uncanny events, wild timing, weird coincidences, and sheer chance encounters, all of your life's bad luck must have been your destiny.

Victorio, do you see what the difference is?

It ain't me,

The Universe

Victorio, destinies are a dime a dozen.

I Believe

I Believe by Brian Tracy

I believe every person has within themselves inexhaustible reserves of potential they have never even come close to realizing.

I believe each person has far more intelligence than they have ever used.

I believe each person is more creative than he or she has ever imagined.

I believe the greatest achievements of your life lie ahead of you.

I believe the happiest moments of your life are yet to come.

I believe the greatest successes you will ever attain are still waiting for you on the road ahead.

And, I believe through learning and application of what you learn, you can solve any problem, overcome any obstacle and achieve any goal that you can set for yourself.

—Brian Tracy

Freedom from Urgency

by Denis Waitley
Freedom from urgency…. That’s what will allow us to live a rich and rewarding life. You may have thought your problem was “time starvation,” when in truth, it was in the way you assigned priorities in your decision-making process. Have you allowed the urgent to crowd out the important?

Each day we will continue to encounter deadlines we must meet and “fires,” not necessarily of our own making, we must put out. Endless urgent details will always beg for attention, time and energy. What we seldom realize is that the really important things in our life don’t make such strict demands on us, and therefore we usually assign them a lower priority.

Our loved ones understand when we are preoccupied with our urgent business, but it’s hard for us to understand, many years later, why they appear preoccupied when we finally find some time for them. Harry Chapin’s classic song “The Cat’s in the Cradle” is still a mirror reflecting our priorities.

All the important arenas in our life are there awaiting our decisions. But they don’t beg us to give them our time. The local university doesn’t call us to advance our education and improve our life skills.

I have never received a call or e-mail from the health club I joined insisting that I show up and work out for 30 minutes each day. My bathroom scale has never insisted that I lose 30 pounds. The grocery clerks have never made me put back on the shelves the junk food I put in the cart, nor has a fast-food restaurant ever refused me a double cheeseburger and large fries because of my high cholesterol.

Nor have I ever been subpoenaed by the ocean or the mountains to appear for relaxation and solitude. Yet I receive hundreds of urgent phone messages and e-mails each week from people with deadlines.

You see, it’s the easiest thing in the world to neglect the important and give in to the urgent. One of the greatest skills you can ever develop in your life is not only to tell the two apart, but to be able to assign the correct amount of time to each.

Beginning tomorrow, throughout the day, and every day thereafter, stop and ask yourself this question: “Is what I’m doing right now important to my health, well-being and mission in life, and for my loved ones?”

Your affirmative answer will free you forever, from the tyranny of the urgent!

—Denis Waitley

The peachy thing about uncertainty

The peachy thing about uncertainty, Victorio, is that when everything else is equal, the cards are still heavily stacked in your favor.

In other words, when all things are considered, including uncertainty, they are not equal, and vigilantly remembering this can make all the difference.

Got it?

The Universe

Victorio, that one's worth getting: All things are not equal.

It's more than just a dance

Usually, Victorio, the wiser you are, the easier life gets.

But then, the happier you are, the less you need easy, the faster you can run, and the higher you can jump.

Go for happy,

The Universe

Happy, Victorio, it's more than just a dance. It's like a whole other country. It's even where awesomely fabulous dream houses come from.

What a cutie-pie

Actually, Victorio, it's not just that you have countless angels, inner guides, conspiring elements, and a radiant soul.

But, that everything in time and space is make-believe!

I see you -

The Universe

Oh, Victorio Claveria... You're gonna have so much fun. You're gonna have a wonderful business, and we're all gonna say, "Remember when Victorio thought it was all so real? What a cutie-pie."
