Today is the first day of the rest of your life when it's now possible to open your heart to share the power of Love inside you with those who need it the most.

This morning is a very special one because it is all about new beginnings.
With this issue of “The Dawning Light”, we are launching our daily Weekday Edition, which will be sent to you every morning, Minday through Friday, before dawn.
Each issue will be short, easy and fast to read…and full of one hundred percent positive, uplifting and inspirational content that is intended to be like a jolt of spiritual espresso to help you jump start your day.
I am excited to finally be launching our Weekday Edition because I have literally thousands of wonderful, life enhancing things I want to share with you from my more than 60 years on the spiritual path.
Because these ideas, principles and practices are the essential tools I have used to heal, uplevel and transform my own life, I know they will also help you…if you make the effort to apply them.

It is the first day of the first week of the New Year.
It is a time when many of us are beginning to make the positive changes that we have long wanted and needed to make.
We have a new batch of 365 beautiful days ahead of us to create a life we love living.
I am not saying it will be easy, without challenges and difficulties of all kinds, because these things are a part of our journey to accomplish anything great in this world.
But, for those who are pursuing your own spiritual path, I am sure you are hearing the inner call in your heart and soul to make a supreme effort now to be more present, more mindful, more loving and more devoted to your spiritual practices.
This is a time when the world needs all of us who are called to serve to shine with the inner light and be the loving, compassionate person we were born to be.

Make being kind, caring and compassionate your mission wherever you go, whoever you are with, every day and night by shining your Light and being Love in this hurting world.
There is so much suffering and pain in this world.
Wherever you go,
if your heart is open,
And your mind is not absorbed by your self centered point of view,
You will see that nearly everyone is fighting a hard battle
Within themselves and their circumstance.
The fastest and most profound way to uplevel your life
And make steady progress on your own spiritual path is to
Make being kind your mission,
Make being loving your purpose,
Make appreciating others and being
There for them, with however small an act
It may seem to be, even if it's just a kind word
Or a genuine smile…your way of living.
Then you will discover that there is
So much more goodness, beauty and caring
In this world of people seeking love and happiness,
Than you could ever see with a closed and self centered heart.
It really is true that “it is more blessed to give than to receive”…and “but for the grace of God go I.”

The True Joy In Life
“This Is the true joy in life:
Being used for a purpose
Considered by yourself
As a mighty one,
The being a force of nature
Instead of a feverish, selfish little
Clod of ailments and grievances,
Complaining that the world
Will not devote itself
To making you happy.
I am of the opinion that
My life belongs to the whole community,
And as long as I live, it is my privelege
To do for it what I can.
It is a sort of splendid torch
Which I have got hold of
For the moment and
I want to make it burn
As brightly as possible
Before handing it on
To future generations.”
~George Bernard Shaw
