We all have an inherent need to grow, evolve and manifest ever greater realities. This is basic to our happiness and feelings of self-acceptance and self-contentment. Happiness can be created in two ways.

Please take time to choose a goal of your own or inner potential that you want to manifest.
Some of my present goals (inner potentials that I would like to manifest) are:
1. _____________________________________________________________
