All these incidents bring together a very important part of life - something catches your eye, you want to remember it, and to recall it brings pleasure. Now, what about your life? Everyday life starts out with a blank canvas. We are handed brushes and paints so that we can create a masterpiece of beauty or a cheap imitation of some fine piece of living. The pages of our book are blank and bare cloth waits for our artistic touch.

What we paint, write, or create depends on who we are and what we want to accomplish with our lives. Some people do spectacular landscapes, while others stay within realm of “stick” people. Some will pen sonnets and great literary volumes, while others are content with over-the-counter, weekly gossip papers. A skilled craftsman will take needle of his very existence and embroider a fine tapestry, while others would rather use paper towels.

The one thing that we all have is same 24 hours, seven days a week, and 365 days a year. No one else is given more, and no one is given less. Its like a bank account, where 24 hours is deposited daily into your account, for your use, in any way you choose. At end of day, some will have added a profit, others will have taken a loss. The only constant is that tomorrow another 24 hours will be added and choice will again be yours.

Well, you may say, life is not fair with me. I don’t have opportunities, luck, or contacts other people have. My financial situation is not what I would like it to be so that I could accomplish better things. I never have enough time and I have too many commitments.

No, everyone’s account is not same in long run. However, they started out with same deposit of 24 hours, and made their decisions to withdraw, invest, or gamble with whatever came their way. They made their choices and you made yours. Sometimes they were bad investments of time and other instances, a profit was made.

Aster means star. Dis-aster occurs when you don’t honor your star.

Your star. That place in you that holds all your brilliant qualities, traits, and talents. You know when you are operating from your star. Your Fabulous Four -- health, wealth, relationships, and self-expression -- blaze with success and well-being. You know it when you are in your star-being and your star-doing.

Have you lost contact with your star? Not a good thing to do as you then court disaster. Where is your star hiding its light? Have you forgotten it into some black hole? Have you developed habit of mediocrity? A routine of ordinariness? Have you obfuscated it into fuzziness?

Dust off and propel your pulsar. Quicken that inner quasar. The world wants to see your radiance. When we shine as stars, we let other people know their dreams can come true, too. People can make wishes on your star.
