A Spark to Ignite Your Joy and Faith
Can you imagine discovering that you are a child of royalty? Can you imagine your words being sopowerful, that simply by placing them in your own mind, your life and the world changes for the bet- ter? Can you imagine facing life’s biggest challenges, and the smaller ones as well, without fear or worry – but with a smile because you know things will work out?
All of this is true.
You are royalty. Your words have super powers. Your fears are not warranted,because everything will work out. That’s why I wrote this eBook. I wrote it to remind you of the peaceand love that comes from faith, and help you learn the practices that bring out the best in you.This is part of my community’s mission to bring peace to the world, by increasing wisdom and knowl-edge through education. We believe that peace will come when each of us has peace in our own mindsand hearts, and when each of us is living a life of love and compassion within our own family and com-munity on a daily basis. Although our unique cultures are good, and provide us with wonderful richness – and provide the world with the gift of diversity -
we sometimes lose track of our commonality as humans.
Thishappens when we focus on our differences, and not what unifies us.Peace will come as we spread the message of our spiritual connection to each human in the world. If each person is truly a spiritual brother or sister, it makes no sense whatsoever to continue practices that cause us to hate, hurt and kill each other.Our primary strategy for bringing peace is to embrace one mind at a time, by increasing each person’sknowledge of the principles of peace, love and compassion. These qualities of life flow from the worldof faith. We believe that it is usually our ignorance on a particular subject that causes us to fear or hateanother person or group of people. Wisdom, which we can gain through education, takes the place inour minds that has been preoccupied with fear and ignorance.Our foundation brings the best practices and wisdom from the worlds of faith and psychology into eas-ily understood and simple practices that may be implemented on a daily basis. Practices include read-ing, prayer, meditation, community service and recitation of affirmations to fill our minds and souls withloving and peaceful thoughts. If our thoughts are loving and peaceful, our actions will also be loving andpeaceful.
Please accept this e-book as a small gesture of thanks for the role you’ve played in com-municating this message so far.

A Spark to Ignite Your Joy and Faith
Ignite Your Potential For Joy
Have you ever noticed that a baby provides unlimited joy to everyone around it? I have alwaysbeen amazed by this and think I’ve found the answer: it is just being itself.Babies don’t yet have any successes or disap-pointments to judge life by. They also haven’tassumed any specific role beyond being ador-able, even though they will soon become sonsand daughters, employers and employees, andultimately mothers and fathers themselves. As we grow up, these roles are either assigned tous by parents, coaches and teachers, or takenon by us willingly.I think that we tend to look at babies as special gifts from God – no matter His name. That’s because babies are Perfect Spirits – as are you andI. But much like that newborn baby, we are incapable of understanding why.For reasons both cultural and spiritual, it is often tough to admit to yourself that you are lov-able just by being you and you don’t need any material possessions to make you lovable. Thesum total of one’s net worth is consistent throughout our lives because we were born with tremendous value and potential.Potential for what? To develop spiritually and to become the loving and compassionate people that we are capable of being. You control how you feel about your spiritual maturity, your relationship with God and your relationship with other humans. When you give yourself high grades in these areas, all of the disappointment and discouragement is truly external and seems small and insignificant incomparison.
Realize your true net worth in baby stepsLife is too precious to spend on activities you don’t valueEverlasting answers to all of life’s questions come from within
