Your Future I s A lw ay s Bright b y L o u i s e H ay

ust because the years are passing doesn’t mean that the quality of our lives must automatically go downhill. I choose to see my life moving in different directions, all of them equally good. Some things are even better now than the way they were in my youth. My younger years were filled with fear; my todays are filled with confidence. I truly believe that many of the fears we have are unnecessary. It is something we’ve been taught. It has been programmed into us. It’s just a habitual thinking pattern, and it can be changed. Negative thinking is prevalent, in particular, among so many women in their later years, and, as a result, they live out their lives in discontent. I want you to know that your future is always bright, no matter what your age. See your later years as becoming your treasure years. Sit quietly and think of all the times you were joyful, and let your body feel this joy. Remember all the times you were a winner; the times when you did something you were proud of, even small things. Hold these feelings close to you, this joy and confidence. Now look forward ten years. What do you see yourself doing and being? How do you look? How do you feel? Are you carrying the joy with you? Now go 20 years down the road. What do you see? Are you alive, alert, and interested in life? Are you surrounded by friends who love you? What’s the contribution you’re making to life? Right now is the time for you to visualize and create your future. Make it as healthy and bright and joyful as you can. It’s your life, and you’re going to live it. Don’t ever think it’s too late for you or that you’re too old to dream and have goals. Dreams and goals keep us young and interested in life. Live today to the fullest, and forget about the past. Today you can create a new way of living. You can change all the rules. When we move forward into our future, knowing and using the treasures within, then only good lies before us. We can know and affirm that everything that happens to us is for our highest good and greatest joy, truly believing that we can’t go wrong. Instead of just getting old and giving up and dying, let’s learn to make a huge contribution to life. We have the time, we have the knowledge, and we have the wisdom to move out into the world with love and power. Step forward, use your voice, get out in the world, and live! No matter what our age or what kind of problems we have, we can begin
to make positive changes today. The Law of Attraction requires that we focus our attention on what we do want, rather than what we don’t want. Focus on loving you. If we want to be respected and honored when we’re older, then we must lay the groundwork by respecting and honoring the elders we meet in our lives today. How we treat them today is the way we’ll be treated later.
Every day affirm at least a few of these affirmations:
I have my whole life ahead of me. I am young and beautiful…at every age. I am respected by all whom I come in contact with. My life is a glorious adventure. I have no limitations. I contribute to the harmony of life. I have all the time in the world. My later years are my treasure years.
