I came to a conclusion a long time ago, that I would like to share with you. I cannot think of a
better purpose to which to devote our lives.

“I cannot change the world, but I can present the world with one improved person,
myself. I can go to work on myself to make me into the kind of person I admire and
respect. I can become a role model and set a standard for others. I can control and
discipline myself to resist acting or speaking in a negative way toward anyone for any
reason.

I can discipline myself to always doing things the loving way rather than the hurtful
way. The one thing I can learn to control is my thoughts. By keeping my mind calm
and focused on kind, loving thoughts about myself and others, I can make a better,
more loving contribution to this world.

I have come to realise that our biggest mistakes, our greatest regrets, have little to do
with what we have done and are all connected with love, with not having loved enough,
or having been loved enough. Through conscious thought and effort and the
application of love as my underlying principle, I pray that I will make fewer mistakes
and have fewer regrets.

My purpose in life is to become a totally loving person. My life is what I make it by the
things and people I choose to focus my attention upon. My job is to live joyously, and
to enable this by filling my mind with thoughts of love, compassion and forgiveness”.

If there is a great secret, a basis of all human greatness, a true meaning and purpose for life, it is
that there is nothing greater than the beauty of love. Surely there can be no worthier purpose
than to commit our lives to the expression of love. There can be no happier man or woman on
this planet, than those whose lives are filled with, and dedicated to expressing, giving and
receiving love.

Twenty lecture sessions, hundreds of pages, thousands of words. Years of detailed research have
led me to the simplest of conclusions:

“The secret to happiness is right here, in a heart filled with love”.

Wishing you all the love and happiness you wish for yourself, today, always and forever.
I’ll leave you with some wonderfully inspiring words I wish I had written – The Awakening.

With Love
