A quick message from Todd:

"This page contains some of my favorite quotes that are often referred to as 'Toddisms'. These are words of wisdom from others that have helped to shape my outlook on life and help me to overcome some of my very own self-imposed limitations. I hope you find one or two that rattle your belief tree and knock out the bad apples. I have also chosen to pass along some of my prayers (after numerous requests) as these play a crucial role in setting my positive mindset for the day and continue to serve me on the path that I have chosen."

To Your Success,

Morning Prayer

Dear Infinite Intelligence. I stand before you at the birth of this amazing day as your humble servant. I vow to make good use of this exciting allotment of time you have granted me and feel privileged that I have the opportunity to experience life at this moment. I ask you be my guide, helping me to live my destiny and grant me the appreciation to enjoy the effervescence of life itself. For me to have the wisdom of seeing things from a sparkling interest in new possibilities and to always have the courage to move forward and act on what I know is right. For I sincerely believe and recognize the truth that I was created with no limits and together with your inner guidance will live my life from a place of effortless grace, independent from the good opinion of others. I truly love the person I have become and through this will gain access to the peace and strength within me allowing me to surmount insurmountable odds with the absolute certainty and conviction of one who knows. I vow to take care of this body you have provided for my immortal self to use and will build it to and maintain a standard of excellence and harmony that is needed for it to serve me well on my journey. But above all I am grateful. Grateful for the fact I have been chosen and grateful that I can respond to the challenges placed before me. For this is the will of life and with it I shall succeed.

Evening Prayer

Dear Infinite Intelligence. I ask that you accept my gratitude for this day and understand that the opportunity for life can be taken away at any moment to be replaced with a new and more exciting challenge and one that I will readily accept. However until then I continue to stand resolute with my current journey with the vigor and courage of a warrior, the tenderness and empathy of a lover, the imagination and playfulness of a magician and the leadership and expectation of a sovereign. I ask you to grant me visions in my sleep tonight that affirm my ability to live life with no limits and in that timeless domain, restore and fully re-energize my body so that it may serve me well again tomorrow, free of all ills and overflowing with an abundance of energy so that I will arise again tomorrow effortlessly and not only with a burning desire to achieve, but with the certainly that I will be guided to and will accomplish what needs to be done.
