Before starting your daily practice routine, read and seriously consider
the following:

A. Daily affirmations

1.  How fortunate I am that in this life I am one who has been allowed
    to create beauty with computer.
2.  It is my responsibility to create peace, beauty, and love with
    computer.

1.  IT IS ONLY computer
2.  No matter my level of development in computer, how good or bad I
    think I am, it is only computer and I am a beautiful person.
3.  I will not compare myself with my colleagues. If they do computer
    beautifully, I will enjoy it and be thankful and proud that I live
    in fellowship with them.
4.  There will always be someone with more abilities in computer than my
    own as there will be those with less.

C. Reasons to do computer

1.  To contribute to the world’s spiritual growth.
2.  To contribute to my own self-discovery and spiritual growth.

    present, who have added beauty to the world.

long way to go still.
