You may not know it, but you have a sword of excellence, a talent so powerful that when you use it, others become quiet with wonder and feel amazingly loved. It may be a mother's smile that leaves others feeling safe and special. It may be the gleam of truth in a teacher's eye that inspires a reluctant student to step forward and dare to become all they can be. It may be a businessman's ability to put forth a superior product at a fair price. Such acts quietly but brilliantly transform the world. My dream books are dedicated to that sword in you. If you know your talents and use them, God bless you. Use them with more brilliance after learning to use your dreams. If you have not discovered your Special Self to express to the world, try meditation and dreams. If my writing helps you feel more empowered, it has done its work -- which brings joy!
