MAKE THIS A YEAR OF NO REGRETS!

I Wish You Peace

 

I wish you peace when the cold winds blow
Warmed by the fire’s glow
I wish you comfort in the lonely time
And arms to hold you when you ache inside

I wish you hope when things are going bad
Kind words when times are sad
I wish you shelter from the raging wind
Cooling waters at the fever’s end

I wish you peace when times are hard
The light to guide you through the dark
And when storms are high and your dreams are low

I wish you the strength to let love grow
I wish you the strength to let love flow

I wish you peace when times are hard
A light to guide you through the dark
And when storms are high and your dreams are low
I wish you the strength to let let grow
I wish you the strength to let love flow

The Power of Affirmations

Affirmations are positive statements that describe a desired situation, and which are repeated many times, in order to impress the subconscious mind and trigger it into positive action. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the affirmations, they have to be repeated with attention, conviction, interest and desire.

Inner Peace

If you thought that inner peace is a state of weakness and passivity, you are wrong! You may lead a normal life, like everyone else, but at the same time enjoy a state of inner peace and inner strength that no external conditions can disturb.
