I'll do it. Tomorrow.

to-may-toe, to-mah-toe...😊

What would you do if you knew you could not fail?

“I want to make $100,000 in the next 12 months”

It’s not the external situation that’s causing your suffering. It’s your thoughts about the situation that are causing your suffering

Don’t let anyone rent space in your head. Let it go

Okay, unless you comment on my posts I won't know you're subscribed and won't be able to share tips.

“The very best thing you can do for the whole world is to make the most of yourself.” ― Wallace D. Wattles

1 Philippians 4:19 And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

Luke 16:10-12 Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own?

“... because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.” ― Wallace D. Wattles

“There are three motives for which we live; we live for the body, we live for the mind, we live for the soul. No one of these is better or holier than the other; all are alike desirable, and no one of the three—body, mind, or soul—can live fully if either of the others is cut short of full life and expression.” ― Wallace D. Wattles

Matthew 6:26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

“Give, even if you only have a little.”

“Drop by drop is the water pot filled. Likewise, the wise man, gathering it little by little, fills himself with good.”

“Should a person do good, let him do it again and again. Let him find pleasure therein, for blissful is the accumulation of good.”

“May all beings have happy minds.”

“The only service you can render God is to give expression to what he is trying to give the world, through you. The only service you can render God is to make the very most of yourself in order that God may live in you to the utmost of your possibilities.” ― Wallace D. Wattles

Proverbs 23:5 Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle.

“It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.”

The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart. -Buddha

“However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?” — Buddha

“Do not wait for an opportunity to be all that you want to be.” ― Wallace Wattles

Mark 4:19 but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful.

“To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.” — Buddha

just do it

take time...

“You must lay aside your greed; have no unworthy motive in your desire to become rich and powerful. It is legitimate and right to desire riches, if you want them for the sake of your soul, but not if you desire them for the lists of the flesh.” ― Wallace D. Wattles

“There is no reason for worry about financial affairs. Every person who wills to do so may rise above his want, have all he needs, and become rich.” ― Wallace D. Wattles

Remember...

Take risks

Stop complaining

What you think about consistently will eventually become your reality. This is the reason why it is so important to be aware of our thoughts.

So many of us don’t actually believe that we deserve the blessings that life has to offer us. Somehow we believe that those blessings are reserved for other people. But that simply isn’t true. You are as deserving of life’s gifts as anybody else.

Pay attention to the world around you. Chances are you are already incredibly blessed, you just haven’t noticed.

Believe that you deserve the gifts that are on their way. Be excited, joyful and grateful.

You are in charge of your thoughts, and therefore in charge of what it is that you manifest into your reality.

Visualise yourself in possession of that which you desire and it is done.

Focus every day on manifesting the things that you want in your life. Never stop believing.

The only reason why people do not have what they want is because they are thinking more about what they don’t want than what they do want.

Do not become impatient with your manifestation. You must focus your energy, receive it as if it already is, and trust that is coming.

Your feelings are your greatest tools to help you create your life.

Create your day in advance by thinking the way you want it to go, and you will create your life intentionally

Set intentions for your life. Visualise your dream life in your mind and you will eventually see it all around you.

Trust the universe is working in your favour, always.

Today is just yesterday's tomorrow

Romans 13:8: Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law.

Luke 6:38: Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back.

Philippians 4:19: And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.

2 Corinthians 9:8: And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.

2 Corinthians 9:7: Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give,not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Proverbs 11:24-25: One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.

This is my old comic book style fan art of Superman in black/rejuvenation suit based on Henry Cavill's Instagram post promoting the Justice League movie before director Zack Snyder left the project due to a family tragedy and WB studio forcing revisions to make it more like a Disney-Marvel popcorn flick.

My fan art of WonderBat based on Adrienne Palicki and Christian Bale. Adrienne starred in an unaired Wonder Woman TV series pilot in 2011. Around that time, Chritian Bale's run as Batman in Christopher Nolan's critically-acclaimed Dark Knight trilogy was about to end as Dark Knight Rises was set to release on 2012.
