It seems like we want everything quick today. If we see something we like, most people don’t save up for it; they just go out and put it on their credit card. We listen to sound bites on the news and eat fast food. It’s like we are using Cliff Notes for our lives. When we are hungry for something, we want it and we want it NOW!
Who hasn't been tempted to give it all up because we think it isn't worth the wait? Or, conversely, we will pay money for the “magic bullet.” You know, that
thing that is guaranteed to change our lives in a weekend. We get pulled into the 5 steps of Success, the 7 Keys to Happiness, the Magic of Making All Your Dreams Come True. I've spent time and money on those ‘Magic Bullets’ myself only to find smoke and mirrors and not a real "Magic Bullet" at all!

Can we come to a place and rely on spiritual food to help nourish our soul and feed our spirit? And what might we have to give up in order to do that? We might have to give up our desire for the approval of others or our need for recognition and appreciation from anything or anyone external to us.
On our journey to remembering the Truth about who we are on a daily basis, we don’t need to give up sugar or chocolate or video games. We need to give up something much deeper and much more important. What stories have to go? What have we been believing that has kept us stuck and in low gear? What ideas keep us feeling less than? What ideas keep us feeling apart from the Infinite? When we can release those, then we are moving toward our infinite possibilities
Wisdom from Ernest Holmes
When I go out and plant a garden, I walk away and leave it, and I know something is going to make it grow. Its growth -- the law of its being, that which is going to react to it out of the Universe now -- is independent even of myself, though I planted it. I was the gardener only. We speak of “making” a garden. We plant one. Nature makes the garden; “God gives the increase.
. . . the person who uses the Principles of the Science of Mind the most effectively is the one who is the most deeply inwardly convinced of a simplicity and an integrity of the Universe, and that he is the one who can do it. No conceit about it: he can plant the garden; the garden is independent of him.
