WORDS OF

WISDOM

There are two

words you use

often that have

great meaning,

but vvhich you probably do not think

much about: may and might.

For example. you might say, "I may

get a new c a r," The word may

indicates that you have permission

to get what you want. (Remember

the child's game, "Mum, may i?"

Inherent in your statement is the

evvarenessthatthe universe will

alkOW you to achieve a goal You

could also say, "I ri.n4N gate new

car_" The word triighf indicates that

you have the power to get a new car

it is within your control arid ability.

Thesetwo little words indicate your

divinely given ability to create. The

universe withholds nothing_ If

anything. you withhold your good

from yourself by not realising your

permission or exercising your

power. Whatdo you wantthat you

believe the universe cannot give

you? If you knew you had permission

and power, what would you ask for?

May and might. permission and

power. You h a we it. Nov do it.
