"The best way to predict your future is to create it" 

- Charles Ketterer

Charles states and believes that only we can choose what way our lives end up. We make choices and we live by those choices. So if we set good choices for our future we should be expecting a great future ahead of us. Most ways to have a good future is by getting the education you need and simply know how to survive in the real world, therefore you should prepare yourself for anything the future may bring. Maybe right now you don't see much importance of anything but you can set goals for yourself right now that you might want to follow later on in life and you'll see how that will benefit you in a great way, you probably weren't expecting. Right now since we're still in the present most people don't see the necessity right now, but later on good outcomes can come out of this, thats why life planning ahead on time is a good thing.

We take action for our own good, because us taking action shows that we can be responsible on our own without to depend on others or anything. We can succeed in many ways that yet we don't even know about until we take action for our own things. 

Pyramid Healing

Duties and responsibilities: 

The healing pyramid integrates every healing modality that the earth has to offer with the power of our open hearts and the power of heaven-divine love. As we ascend this imaginary pyramid, we are led to spiritual health and well-being. It condenses the process of surrender into a model of healing that incorporates the force of heaven at its apex, the force of earth at the base, and the path of the heart in the middle. This illustration shows a view of the pyramid from its side-and at a distance. We see the energy of heaven streaming into the apex as love, while gravity grounds us securely on the earth.
