 Black Belt  Candidates Studies

               "Only you and you alone have the power to end negativity in your

                 life........It is called personal responsibility....

                                                                              

 

Black Belts Under constructions!!!!!!

True wealth is not money. It is comfort, safety, peace, freedom and ease. T

These feelings are a natural by product of an open heart. They are a gift of grace. Once the heart is open wide, true wealth follows.

Grace is, among its other definitions "a sense of fitness or propriety," and " divine love and protection freely bestowed on humanity"  ...Grace is a tangible manifestation of gods love for you...All ways see yourself deserving of it, you acknowledge it, and give thanks for it..

The more you acknowledge grace, and say "thank you" for moments of  grace, the more it will appear in you life....A good way to start this process is by saying to yourself: " God loves me. I deserve Gods Love".
