the victory is yours

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

no accidents, no coincidences

You are receiving thousands of messages from the Universe every single day. Learn to become aware of this communication from the Universe, who is speaking to you and guiding you in every moment. There are no accidents and no coincidences. Every sign you notice, every word you hear spoken, every color, every scent, every sound, every event and situation is the Universe speaking to you, and you are the only one who knows their relevance to you, and what the communication is saying.

Use your eyes to see! Use your ears to listen! Use all of your senses, because you are receiving communication through them all!

There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.

give it to others

Whatever you want to bring into your life, you must GIVE it. Do you want love? Then give it. Do you want appreciation? Then give it. Do you want understanding? Then give it. Do you want joy and happiness? Then give it to others.

You have the ability to give so much love, appreciation, understanding, and happiness to so many people every single day!

We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.

moolah

Here are four fundamental things to do to manifest money using the law of attraction.

1. Think more thoughts in a day of abundance than of lack of money.
2. Be happy now, without the money.
3. Be truly grateful for everything you have now.
4. Give the best of yourself to others.

Four easy steps. You can do them if you want it enough.

update: the black iguana

With the mid-June construction "deadline" rapidly approaching, building efforts at the Black Iguana beach bar have accelerated. The new venue on Bliss Beach sits on a privileged location some twenty feet (seven meters) above beach level. This five-star location offers unparalleled views of the beach, the plunge pool, the bay, the Mesoamerican barrier reef, and surrounding rock formations. It's a sweet spot for a beach bar.








This beautiful, exciting new facility will dramatically increase the quality and quantity of entertainment options we can offer our guests here at Paya. Paya Bay Resort, Roatan, Bay Islands of Honduras.

focus intensely on NOW

Stress, worry, and anxiety simply come from projecting your thoughts into the future and imagining something bad. This is focusing on what you don't want! If you find that your mind is projecting into the future in a negative way, focus intensely on NOW. Keep bringing yourself back to the present.

Use all of your will, and focus your mind in this very moment, because in this moment of now there is utter peace.
