Down in the dumps?  Out of work?  Out of money?  Suffering?  Fighting the matter model?  What you need is to be inspired – inspired to change your thought.  Inspirational music can literally change your life.  An inspirational song can lift you up and rummage around in your mind for days reminding you of the truth even when the material picture around you looks bleak.

When things seem at their worst, they’re not really.  That’s the great thing about goodness.  It’s like light.  It’s always there waiting to be turned on.  You just have to throw the switch.

One thing for sure:  Turn on the light and the darkness disappears.  Darkness is just the absence of light.  It’s not some thing; it’s no thing – it’s simply an absence.  You can’t turn on the darkness.  There’s no switch for that.

The same goes for goodness.  It’s just there ready to be goodness.  The turn-on switch is your thinking.  Just throw the switch and the goodness that sits waiting to be appreciated will be there instantly, just like light.  We just have to change our minds. Change our thinking.

“The world we have created is a product of our thinking; it cannot be changed without changing our thinking.” — Albert Einstein

“We are what we think.  All that we are arises with our thoughts.  With our thoughts, we make the world.” – Buddha

“The more man meditates upon good thoughts; the better will be his world and the world at large.” – Confucius

Pay attention to these guys.  They’re three of the greatest thinkers and doers that we as a human race have ever produced.  They’re way ahead of you and me in their ability to put two and two together.  They understood how it works on a level that still leads the world long after their own personal transitions from the planet.  They knew what they were talking about.

Believe them.  Take their advice.  Put it into practice.

Even when things seem at their worst, rejuvenation is right at your fingertips.

Even Now

Music and Lyrics by Peter Link
As sung by Julia Wade on her forthcoming CD, Silk Road.

Even now
The sun will rise
The morning come
The day begin

Even now
When all seems lost
And darkness falls over all

Even now
God’s watching over you
Here in the dawn’s first light

At every turn
In every need
With every breath you take

Even now
With cross to bear
He’s always there
In simple truth

Even now
With heavy heart
His love will lighten your way

Even now
He soothes the salted wound
And eases your troubled mind

At every turn
In every need
With every breath you take

God loves you
Hallelujah
God frees you
Hallelujah

Even now
With broken dreams
And weary soul
He’ll carry you

Even now
When all has failed
And mountains are in your way

Even now
He stands a sentinel
The shepherd of all you do

Your every turn
Your every prayer
And every move you make

Your every turn
Your every need
And every breath you take

God loves you
Remember these words that I sing

God loves you
God frees you
Hallelujah
