~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WELCOME FELLOW BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF LIGHT AND LOVE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~This is an exerpt from The Tibetan Art of Serenity by Christopher Hansard~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~It takes determination to maintain a positive frame of mind and attitude in the face of what appears to
be defeat, loss or hurt. Yet to cultivate inner power, it is important to remain positive, whatever is your
situation. If you can be cheerful and optimistic in the direst of circumstances, then you have indeed
achieved inner power and you have understood that the greater part of your happiness or misery depends
upon your temperament, not upon your circumstances. And temperament is not, as some people think, a given,
like hair colour, but is something we have a choice in determining and can influence through our behaviour
and attitudes.

~~~A strong positive mental attitude can bring about miracles, leading to both inner and outer healing for
ourselves and for others around us. The great spiritual leaders of the past and present, in all religions
and spiritual disciplines, have all had in common an attitude positive enough to find blessings in suffering
and to maintain their beliefs and integrity in the face of doubt and dissent.

~~~By altering your mental attitude, you can change your life.
In fact, when you wish to make changes, mental attitude is everything. If you plan to run a marathon,
learn new skills, lose weight or meet the partner of your dreams, what will count most in achieving success
is your mental attitude. If you believe you can do it, no matter what setbacks you meet, then you will do it.
To transform your life, first transform your attitude and then watch for miracles! ~~~
