I just found out that my niece Victoria Meza was murdered by her boyfriend. She went into ICU today and there's nothing they can do so they are going to pull the plug once her mom gets there. She was only 21 years old and her boyfriend beat her to death. Prayers for the family would greatly be appreciated. Thank you.

​The Architecture of Reality: Imagination over Fact Let man disregard use of imagination can man accept “Nothing stands between man and the fulfillment of his dreams but facts (the evidence of the senses). And facts are the creations of imagining. If man changes his imagining, he will change the facts. Neville Goddard ​At the heart of Neville’s philosophy is the belief that imagination is the ultimate reality. Most people operate under the "evidence of the senses," believing that what they see, touch, and hear dictates what is possible. If your bank account is empty, you believe you are poor; if you are alone, you believe you are unloved. Neville calls these "facts," but he argues they are not permanent truths—they are merely the solidified results of past imaginings. ​The Illusion of "Facts" ​The essay suggests that "facts" are not obstacles but mirrors. When Neville says "facts are the creations of imagining," he is suggesting that our dominant thoughts, feelings, and mental images eventually "harden into fact" in the physical world. Therefore, looking at a current "fact" and feeling defeated by it is like looking at a photograph you don't like and blaming the paper. The "negative" was created in the darkroom of the mind long before it appeared in the physical world. ​The Power of Revision ​The most empowering—and perhaps most difficult—part of this quote is the bridge to fulfillment: "If man changes his imagining, he will change the facts." This implies that we are not victims of circumstance, but architects of it. By consciously withdrawing our attention from the "evidence of the senses" (the current problem) and focusing entirely on the "fulfillment of the dream" (the desired end), we initiate a change in our external reality. ​In this view, the only thing "standing between" a person and their dream is their own insistence on believing that the current physical facts are more real than their internal vision. ​Reflective Questions ​These questions are designed to help you examine where your "facts" might be limiting your potential:

It's time to take control of my health. It is time for me to take direct action. My energy is strong enough to meet my challenges today. I have had enough of waiting. I am ready to start living again. I am prepared to change. I am ready for an empowered lifestyle. I am ready to heal my mind, body, and spirit. I am prepared to live a vibrant and active lifestyle and return my body to its optimal health. I am ready to learn how to love myself in powerful ways. I am prepared to begin living a healthier, happier, and more productive lifestyle. I am taking control of my life. I refuse to allow the fear of change to stop me. I know that I can overcome any obstacles and succeed. My body has been through so much. I am determined to restore it to total health. I am going to focus on healing my physical body first. I can nourish my body with healthier foods, more water, and juices. I can exercise daily and build a healthy sleep routine now. These are small steps, but over time, they lead to significant progress. Every day, I become more balanced in my body and mind, and each day brings me closer to enlightenment. Each day, I am moving further along my path. Today, I am committed to taking action toward my wellness goals. I am moving toward my ideal self. Self-Reflection Questions: 1. What can I do today to enable me to feel better? 2. How can I build healthy habits to improve my life? 3. How do I feel when I practice good self-care?

Who is your hero? I hope that you said that you are your own hero. A hero isn't a Superman or batman. A hero is simply a protector. Are you protecting your peace of mind, your sanity, your integrity, your honor? You should not only be your own hero, but you should also be your best friend and your own cheerleader.
