Note from the Universe, November 23, 2012

Morgan, there's no such thing as too much gratitude. Because the more of it you express, the more reasons you'll be given to express it.

Sure beats Twister,
    The Universe

And as the "game" progresses, Morgan, you can rest assured that I will always "win," always outdoing you with even more new reasons... 

Inspiring Quote, Zig Ziglar

"People often say that motivation doesn't last.  Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily."

-Zig Ziglar

Note from the Universe, November 22, 2012

Two of the most powerful words in the English language for bringing about change, Morgan, are "thank you." Especially when offered before the change even occurs and everything still looks pretty much like it did yesterday.

You'll have to think of something to say afterwards on your own.

Hubba, hubba -
    The Universe

Thank you, Morgan. 

Inspiring Quote, Theodore Roosevelt

"I don't pity any man who does hard work worth doing.  I admire him.  I pity the creature who does not work, at whichever end of the social scale he may regard himself as being."

-Theodore Roosevelt

Note from the Universe, November 21, 2012

Morgan, for 10 seconds please do not think of the color red... not even quickly. Do not think of red. Morgan!

OK, so, happily red is cool and we weren't talking about anything you don't want, don't need, or don't like.

World peace rocks and so does being rich -
    The Universe

Attention brought to a certain something, Morgan, will tend to manifest that certain something, even if you didn't want it, need it, or like it.

Inspiring Quote, Clarissa Pinkola Estes

"How does one know if she has forgiven?  You tend to feel sorrow over the circumstances instead of rage, you tend to feel sorry for the person rather than angry with him.  You tend to have nothing left to say about it at all."

-Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Note from the Universe, November 20, 2012

So very much can happen, Morgan, in a lifetime, or even on a single day of any lifetime. Yet I can assure you that whatever has or will happen in yours, no matter what chasms you cross, heights you scale, or how many people you love and are loved by, when all is said and done and you take that final look over your shoulder, what will humble you the very most, will be that you got to be Morgan Hillman.

Of all people,
    The Universe

Just think, I got to be me, Morgan, and you! And I so loved the part when I, as you, got to Love.... 

Inspiring Quote, William Shakespeare

"Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none."

-William Shakespeare

Note from the Universe, November 19, 2012

Your mere presence has always been enough, dear Morgan, for the birds to sing, the waves to roll, and the sun to shine... so why do you ever feel you should be more?

Love yourself as we love you,
    The Universe

Do you really think they sing, roll, and shine for everyone, Morgan, the way they do for you? Really? 

Inspiring Quote, Henry Ford

"Even a mistake may turn out to be the one thing necessary to a worthwhile achievement."

-Henry Ford

Note from the Universe, November 16, 2012

Anger is always a signal from your higher self, Morgan, that it's time for a reality check.

Always,
    The Universe


Because, Morgan, there are at least 10,000 workarounds, beginning with new perspectives or new friends... and probably ending somewhere near bowling or chess. 

Inspiring Quote, Oscar Wilde

"Ordinary riches can be stolen; real riches cannot.  In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you."

-Oscar Wilde

Note from the Universe, November 15, 2012

Morgan, letting go is always easier than holding on.

And it's how the new stuff will find you.

You new stuff magnet,
    The Universe

Plus, Morgan, no messy rope burns. 

Inspiring Quote, Colin Powell

"If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters.  Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude."

-Colin Powell

Note from the Universe, November 14, 2012

Many come close, Morgan, yet few dare, so boldly, to live without judgment, to give without expecting, and to love for no reason.

We call it a spiritual trifecta.

To the winner's circle,
    The Universe

If gambling were done here, Morgan... I'd bet even more on you. Shhhhhh... 

Inspiring Quote, Maya Angelou

"If you don't like something, change it.  If you can't change it, change your attitude."

-Maya Angelou

Note from the Universe, November 13, 2012

Oh my goodness, Morgan, your life is so much fun to watch when you're on the verge of a really big, huge dream coming true...!

You did not hear that from me... Shhhhhh!
    The Universe


There's actually light emanating from around your head, Morgan, sparks shooting from your fingertips, and I do believe you're vibrating sufficiently to actually see the angels now dancing on the palm of your hand... palms up! 

Inspiring Quote, Harvey Feirstein

"Never be bullied into silence.  Never allow yourself to be made a victim.  Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself."

-Harvey Feirstein

Note from the Universe, November 12, 2012

The Top 10 things about time and space, Morgan, that most people seem to forget...

10. You chose to be here and you knew what you were doing.
9. There are no "tests" and you're not being judged.
8. Everyone's doing their best, with what they know.
7. You already have whatever you're looking for.

5. Religion needs spirituality; spirituality does not need religion.

3. You happen to life, life does not happen to you.
2. Order, healing, and love belie every moment of chaos, pain, and fear.
1. Following your heart is the best way to help others.

The truth shall set you free,
    The Universe

And, Morgan... coffee, tea, and chocolate are proof enough that you're adored from the unseen. 

Inspiring Quote, Ayn Rand

"Money is only a tool.  It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver."

-Ayn Rand

Note from the Universe, November 9, 2012

Several upsides to having 7 billion people share the planet with you, Morgan, are that you get 7 billion more teachers, 7 billion more ways to fall in love, and 7 billion more versions of yourself.

Aren't they all amazing?

Wow,
    The Universe

Yeah, at first I thought 7 billion Morgan Hillmans would be just too much cool at once, but you're all actually quite hot... 

Inspiring Quote, Bill Cosby

"I often try to tell kids to think about all the people who love you, don't cry over the one person who doesn't."

-Bill Cosby

Note from the Universe, November 8, 2012

Do you know why happy tears taste the same as sad tears, Morgan?

Because all tears come from the ocean of love.

Your nautical wheeler,
    The Universe


Ahoy, Morgan, love ahead... and hey, nice dinghy. 

Inspiring Quote, John Wooden

"It's the little details that are vital.  Little things make big things happen."

-John Wooden

Note from the Universe, November 7, 2012

Live as if, Morgan.

Always,
    The Universe


As if, Morgan, life was easy, people were awesome, and you just haven't yet decided which of your favorite charities should receive your surprise $1 million gift. 

Inspiring Quote, Lao Tzu

"Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes.  Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow.  Let reality be reality.  Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like."

-Lao Tzu

Note from the Universe, November 6, 2012

Morgan, it's not difficult. It's easy. Everything is easy.

Time and space aren't supposed to be your Harvard, they're your playground.

The life you long for already exists. You're supernatural. I'm your partner. Together we'll get there and you can have it all.

Freeze-tag?
    The Universe

Like kindergarten, done up as paradise, at recess, Morgan, and I'll meet you on the jungle gym... 

Inspiring Quote, Theodore Roosevelt

"Far better is it to dare mighty things to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."

-Theodore Roosevelt

Note from the Universe, November 5, 2012

A Dream-Manifestation-Workaround for those tired of visualizing, giving thanks, and acting "as if," Morgan, is to love your life so greatly, exactly as it is, that you become a total magnet for more, more, more of all you could ever love.

You love magnet,
    The Universe

I miss Billy Idol, Morgan. You?

Inspiring Quote, Mark Twain

"Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured."

-Mark Twain

Note from the Universe, November 2, 2012

Morgan, you chose to be who you now are, you came here to thrive, the odds always seem steep, the game is rigged in your favor, you knew what you were doing, your demons aren't real, fear was part of the deal, love is all you need, you're never alone, thoughts become things... and you still look absolutely amazing in jeans.

Beaming,
    The Universe

The odds always seem steep, Morgan, but the game is rigged and you knew what you were doing. 

Inspiring Quote, Robert Cushing

"The fact is, that to do anything in the world worth doing, we must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in and scramble through as well as we can."

-Robert Cushing

Note from the Universe, November 1, 2012

Here are a few techniques learned from children, Morgan, that will help anyone take their game, or their life, to a whole new level:

1. Once a day playfully imagine that you're already there.

2. Frequently speak in gratitude as if you've already arrived.

3. And, every now and then, physically do something you never would have done at the old level... like praise yourself, reward yourself, or cluck a few times with thumbs under your arms.

I'll never tell a soul,
    The Universe

Cute, Morgan. I saw that. 

Inspiring Quote, Tony Robbins

"It is not what we get.  But who we become, what we contribute... that gives meaning to our lives."

-Tony Robbins

Note from the Universe, October 31, 2012

Are you hearing a lot more "I love yous" lately, Morgan, or is it just me?

Actually, I wouldn't have asked if the answer wasn't so obvious, but it is fun to point out.

Get it on,
    The Universe

Every year since the beginning of time, Morgan, your precious planet and I have overheard more "I love yous" than the year before it. 

Inspiring Quote, Maya Angelou

"Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently.  You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage."

-Maya Angelou

Note from the Universe, August 1, 2012

Here's a tip, Morgan, on how to bring absolute joy into your life faster than it may have otherwise arrived: every day, in some small way, even secretly if you like, look for a chance to help someone else.

Did that help?

So happy,
    The Universe

Naps help too, Morgan. 

Inspiring Quote, Nolan Bushnell

"Everyone who's ever taken a shower has an idea.  It's the person who gets out of the shower, dries off and does something about it who makes a difference."

-Nolan Bushnell

Note from the Universe, May 31, 2012

In a slightly different world, if dogs believed in "soul mates" when it came to choosing their owners... can you imagine how lonesome most would be?

Oh, there's definitely room for "picky," Morgan, but there's also room for "surprise me."

Surprise me,
    The Universe


"Cute Dachshund ISO cool human (like Morgan Hillman) with nice house near Bay Saint Louis. Must be mind-reader, watch Animal Planet, and listen to Dr. Dre. No pic, no reply."

Inspiring Quote, Thomas A. Edison

"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work."

-Thomas A. Edison

Note from the Universe, May 29, 2012

Happy Birrrrthday to Youuuu,
Happy Birrrrthday to Youuuu,
Happy Birrrrthday Dear Morgan,
Happy Birrrrthday to Youuuu!

A few years back, not so long ago, heaven and earth erupted into a major celebration with the news of your impending adventure into this very time and space. You see, someone like Morgan Hillman doesn't come along all that often. In fact, there's never been a single one like you, nor is there ever ANY possibility that another will come again. You're an Angel among us. Someone, whose eyes see what no others will EVER see, whose ears hear what no others will EVER hear, and whose perspective and feelings will NEVER, ever be duplicated. Without YOU, the Universe, and ALL THAT IS, would be sadly less than it is.

Quite simply:

You're the kind of person, Morgan,
Who's hard to forget,
A one-in-a-million
To the people you've met.
Your friends are as varied
As the places you go,
And they all want to tell you
In case you don't know:
That you make a big difference
In the lives that you touch,
By taking so little
And giving so much!

Morgan, you are so AWESOME! For your birthday, friends and angels from every corner of the Universe, including buddies you didn't know you had, will be with you to wish you the HAPPIEST of days and an exciting new year in time and space. You won't be alone!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Morgan!

Mike Dooley
Orlando, Florida, USA

PS - Morgan, this is going to be YOUR year!!

Note from the Universe, October 30, 2012

One of the things that will "get" you the most about people, Morgan, once you have time and space fully in your rear-view mirror, is how much they all hope, care, and love, sometimes without even knowing it.

I was "gotten" so long ago,
    The Universe

And you, Morgan, just might be one of the most hopeful, caring, lovers... ever. 

Inspiring Quote, Thomas A. Edison

"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work."

-Thomas A. Edison

Note from the Universe, October 29, 2012

Fast takes longer when you hurry, Morgan.

Keep calm and saunter on,
    The Universe

And slow, Morgan, gets faster when you're happy. 

Inspiring Quote, Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Character is higher than intellect.  A great soul will be strong to live as well as think."

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Note from the Universe, October 26, 2012

The difference between being moments away from a big, HUGE dream coming true, Morgan, rather than light-years, lies in physically behaving, day by day, as if the dream were real, and all else was a dream.

Really,
    The Universe

Really, really, Morgan.

Inspiring Quote, Samuel Taylor Coleridge

"Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom."

-Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Note from the Universe, October 25, 2012

Who will you re-fall in love with today, Morgan?

Whe-e-e-e-e-e . . .
    The Universe

Or you could start from scratch, Morgan, and pretend it's for the first time. 

Inspiring Quote, Theodore Roosevelt

"The boy who is going to make a great man must not make up his mind merely to overcome a thousand obstacles, but to win in spite of a thousand repulses and defeats."

-Theodore Roosevelt

Note from the Universe, October 24, 2012

Whether obvious or not, Morgan, and usually it's not, everyone in your life is there to help you, AND, they're actually doing so right now.

We call this the Everyone In Your Life Is There To Help You Rule.

Tallyho,
    The Universe

Which, incidentally, Morgan, doesn't mean you have to keep them there. In fact, their offering may simply be to teach you to say "adios."

The Bright Side

I was in a relatively good mood all day long.  Today was National Pharmacy Technician Day, so Kellie bought Kara and I lunch, so that was awesome.  And I'm off work tomorrow, so I don't have to freak out if I don't get much sleep (which I never do).

Inspiring Quote, Henry Ford

"When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it."

-Henry Ford

Note from the Universe, October 23, 2012

You can only be your best self, Morgan, not someone else's.

My best self,
    The Universe

And however to the contrary it may seem, Morgan, therein lies your happiness, being your best self while letting others find theirs. 

Inspiring Quote, Doris Lessing

"Whatever you're meant to do, do it now.  The conditions are always impossible."

-Doris Lessing

Note from the Universe, October 22, 2012

Turning up the love, Morgan.

Turns on everything else.

Love up,
    The Universe

Everything, Morgan, as in whatever your heart desires, including the processes that will bring it to you.

Inspiring Quote, Abigail Adams

"Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and diligence."

-Abigail Adams

Note from the Universe, October 19, 2012

Shake the burden that comes from seeing your baby steps, Morgan, as a necessary discipline.

See them, instead, as optional dance moves, in life's conga line, that spark miracles, open floodgates, and lead to the near effortless manifestations of Homes.

Day-o!
    The Universe

You are so living up to your Swivel-Hips nickname, Morgan... HEY! 

Inspiring Quote, George Bernard Shaw

"If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience."

-George Bernard Shaw

Note from the Universe, October 18, 2012

Generally speaking, Morgan, the busier someone is the faster time flies, the less they worry, the more friends they have, the farther they travel, the quicker they rebound, the richer they become, and the happier they are.

Passport ready?
    The Universe

And they usually walk bouncier, Morgan. 

Inspiring Quote, Voltaire

“ Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe. ”

    ― Voltaire

Note from the Universe, October 17, 2012

There are only 3 things that can make your dreams come true, Morgan: your thoughts, your words, and your actions.

Be the spark,
    The Universe

They're all you have, Morgan, and they're all you need. 

Inspiring Quote, Eleanor Roosevelt

“ It isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it. ”

    ― Eleanor Roosevelt

Note from the Universe, October 16, 2012

If you knew for absolute certain, Morgan, that every little thing you did today would later be scrutinized, literally moment by moment, by a future you, and future friends, as well as anyone else interested, and you'd all be looking for a number of qualities, especially patience, kindness, and love, during this game of games and test of tests called life, how might you treat the very next person you see after reading this Note?

Yeah,
    The Universe

Popcorn, anyone? Twizzlers, Morgan? Ouh, watch..........! Ahhhhh.... 

The Bright Side

Well, since I hadn't slept in over 24 hours, I was expecting today to be complete shit, but it turned out pretty well, actually.  Work was fun, Kara and I both had the giggles, I was delusional and too tired to get grumpy or too aggravated.  So yay!!

Inspiring Quote, Lao Tzu

"All difficult things have their origin in that which is easy, and great things in that which is small."  - Lao Tzu

Note from the Universe, October 15, 2012

Neither a promotion, losing weight, finding a soul mate, writing a book, nor becoming a billionaire, Morgan, will ensure happiness.

Nothing ensures happiness. No destination is great enough. No dream come true will do.

Because happiness, dear Morgan, that's not present at the start of a journey will not be present at its end.

Après vous,
    The Universe

Nice shoes, Morgan.

Inspiring Quote, Confucius

    “ The superior man acts before he speaks, and afterwards speaks according to his action. ”

    ― Confucius

Note from the Universe, October 12, 2012

There's nothing unpleasant, unkind, or unjust that has ever happened within all of time and space, Morgan, that I won't eventually undo, reverse, and make right, one billion times over.

Guaranteed,
    The Universe

In the meantime, Morgan, you're now free to love your life.

The Bright Side

I pulled more out-of-dates today, and stayed mostly caught up at work.  Got some of my paperwork organized tonight, and got to relax most of the evening.  Plus, only one more day of work until I'm off for the entire weekend.  Thank God.

Inspiring Quote, Sammy Davis, Jr.

    “ Sober up, and you see and hear everything you'd been able to avoid hearing before. ”

    ― Sammy Davis, Jr.

Note from the Universe, October 11, 2012

The way you know you'll receive 7 times what you give, Morgan, or in some cases 4,900 times what you give, is that the giving gives you true joy without any thought of even receiving 1 times back.

Nice R.O.I.,
    The Universe

Oh, the 4,900 multiple, Morgan? Yes, this was overlooked by your parables because it was never quite understood. To quote, "Verily, he or she who gives, without any thought of receiving, will receive 7 times recompense for their offering, while those who do so with a glad heart, happy dance, or whoohooo, will receive thy 7 times recompense 700 more times." Hubba, hubba. 

The Bright Side

Well, work wasn't very swamped today, so I got more out-of-dates pulled.  I got 2 boxes packed tonight.  I had a good meal and got a lot accomplished, so that's my bright side for today :)

Inspiring Quote, Ellen Glasgow

“ All change is not growth, as all movement is not forward. ”

    ― Ellen Glasgow

Note from the Universe, October 10, 2012

What makes you richer, Morgan, is the picture, that you hold in your mind.

You have the power,
    The Universe

It's how anyone, Morgan, has ever gotten anything.
