about. So my answer to both of them was, “Yes, you can be happy, because the happiness, the peace you are looking for, is inside of you.” This is not a concept. It is reality. You are alive. You exist, and your existence is the miracle of all miracles. Three major things happen in your life: One, you are born. Two, you are alive. And you know what that third one is. One has happened, one is happening, one will happen – not might, will.
A long time ago, a formula was given: peace, then prosperity. We have forgotten about peace and remembered prosperity. The formula is not going to work without peace. It’s not about what has happened – it’s happened. And it’s not about what will happen, because it will happen. It is about what is happening. What is happening is that you are alive. And the potential that being alive brings is always there. Tap into it. LEARN WHO YOU ARE Some people want to become a “better” person. I say to them, “Forget about being a better person. You are the best.” A watch made in Switzerland is considered good. Guess where you’re made? Designed by whom? By the Creator Himself. And every person is unique. Life is about the uniqueness, not the repetition. People ask me, “Will I have another life?” I say, “I don’t know. Why don’t we trade e-mails? If you go first and find out there is another one, e-mail me. If I go first and I find out, I’ll e-mail you.” If you go to a bank and say, “Give me a loan. I’ll pay it back in my next lifetime,” you’re not going to get that loan. You will be kicked out of the bank. You may be thinking, “It’s okay. I can waste my time because I’ll have another lifetime.” This is not what life is about. Learn who you are. Understand that peace is possible and that peace is within you. Celebrate that you exist. Don’t wait for your birthday. Celebrate every breath that comes into you, every day you are given. Find peace in your life.
