I MADE AN ACCUSATION THAT WASN'T TRUE TODAY...

PROVING ONCE AGAIN THAT I AM FAR FROM PERFECT. I DISCOVERED THE THICK RED NOTE PAD THAT I THOUGHT WAS PILFERED, SO THAT REINFORCED MY BELIEF IN YOU BEING BETTER THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE. NOT ME, BUT YOU...BECAUSE I'M ALREADY PRETTY GOOD, NOT GREAT, BUT I'M WORKING ON THAT TOO.

I'M WORKING OFF LOTS OF ENERGY GOOD POSITIVE ENERGY FROM POSITIVE RESULTS AND EFFORT ON YOUR PART...

BECAUSE WE'RE WORKING FOR GOOD IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN, OUR GLOBAL PLAN, NO DOUBT...ONCE WE GET ALL THE RIFF RAFF OUTA HERE AND SEND THEM TO A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN BE IN THEIR OWN ELEMENT WITHOUT DISTURBING ANY ONE EXCEPT OTHERS LIKE THEMSELVES.

OUR WEATHER IS GREAT, THE SKIES ARE BLUE AND CLEAR, AND I SEE LOTS OF PEOPLE MOVING...HEADING FOR THEIR DESTINATION...WITH THEIR GOALS IN TACT...

WE ARE SLOWLY BUT SURELY CHANGING THE WORLD FOR THE BETTER, AND YOU THOUGHT YOU WEREN'T IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, BUT YOU ARE DOING IT...WE ALL GET FRUSTRATED FROM TIME TO TIME THAT'S ONLY NATURAL, BUT NOW WE KNOW THAT REACHING FOR SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO ALTER YOUR STATE OF MIND, RATHER THAN PUSHING THROUGH THE EMOTIONAL PAIN THAT IS GOING TO MAKE YOU THAT MUCH STRONGER...

FACING OUR DEMONS ARE NECESSARY TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE OF EVIL, AND WE CAN AND ARE DOING IT...ONCE YOU DISCOVER WHAT IT IS THAT YOU REALLY WANT TO DO WITH THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, AND PUTTING YOURSELF FIRST, FOR NOW, THAT'S GOING TO MAKE YOU STRONGER FOR SOMEONE ELSE...IT'S A PROCESS...

STRENGTH DOESN'T COME FROM THE MUSCLES YOU HAVE IN YOUR BODY, BUT THE MUSCLE IN YOUR HEART AND MIND, BOTH GETTING STRONGER, ONE DAY AT A TIME...SOMETIMES TAKING BABY STEPS ARE MORE PRACTICAL THAN TAKING A GREAT BIG GIANT STEP THAT ULTIMATELY MAY SET YOU BACK A FEW PACES...

YOU MUST REMEMBER ALWAYS THAT YOU ARE LOVED...BECAUSE YOU ARE LOVEABLE, EVEN WHEN YOU MAY BE HAVING A FEW LOW POINTS DURING THE DAY, YOU KNOW YOU'RE GONNA BOUNCE BACK IN A MINUTE...

KEEPING THE FAITH BECOMES A HABIT THE MORE YOU WORK IT, THE STRONGER YOUR FAITH BECOMES.

NEVER KEEP A GOOD IDEA TO YOURSELF, SHARE IT AND MIRACLES CAN AND WILL HAPPEN.

THANKS FOR LISTENING AGAIN...SEE YOU AROUN'.
