You can ensure the future of your spiritual community by giving to the Center for Spiritual Living Palm Beaches, Inc. in any of the following ways:
A gift of cash, stocks, bonds, real estate
A bequest in your will or trust
A beneficiary designation on an annuity or life insurance policy
A beneficiary designation on a retirement account (IRA, 401K, 4035, etc.)
Through a Charitable Remainder Trust
Through a Life Estate contract
Through a Pooled Income Fund
When all is said and done, it does not matter what method you use or what amount you give to ensure the future of our community; what truly matters is your intention behind the gift—your intention to perpetuate, for countless generations, the ideals of the Center for Spiritual Living Palm Beaches, a Science of Mind Community.
On behalf of the Center and all who grow and thrive through its programs, I thank you for your generous support.
WAYS TO LEAVE A LEGACY TO THE CENTER
DONATIONS
You can donate cash, stocks, bonds, mutual funds or property to the Center and receive a tax-deduction for a charitable contribution equal to the value at the time of the donation. You can direct the Center to use the funds for immediate expenses, a specific use or to be put into the Legacy Fund where the funds remain forever and the interest can be used by the Center. This works very well for stocks or properties that have appreciated greatly.
DONOR DIRECTED CHARITABLE GIVING FUNDS
Many mutual fund companies have Donor Directed Funds. It is like setting up a charitable foundation, yet much easier. As the donor, you give cash or property to the fund in an account in your name. You get an immediate tax deduction. You choose the investments and charities and decide when funds are released to the charities. You can preserve anonymity, if desired.
IRA'S , 401(K)'S AND PENSION PLANS
These are retirement plans and have beneficiaries named when they are first set up. The beneficiaries can be changed at any time. You can make the Center a beneficiary of your retirement plan. In fact, it's a great idea because the Center, as a non-profit, will not pay any taxes on the money when you pass on, whereas a person will owe taxes. It works well to leave retirement funds to a non-profit and provide for your heirs with insurance or non-retirement money to avoid taxes.
POOLED INCOME FUNDS
Local foundations and some mutual funds have special funds where you can donate money or property and receive monthly income for the rest of your life. At the end of your life, the remaining money is donated to a designated non-profit such as the Center. If you want lifetime income you may want to explore this possibility.
TERM INSURANCE
An insurance policy that is in place for a set number of years (term) with a fixed annual premium. Beneficiaries are designated as part of the policy. This is a very good, inexpensive way to leave a legacy to the Center. If the Center is the only beneficiary, the premiums are tax-deductible and can be paid monthly, quarterly or yearly.
TRUSTS
There are many ways to leave a legacy to the Center though a Trust.
WILLS
You can designate the Center as a beneficiary in your will for all or part of your estate. You can assign a dollar amount or a percentage. It's an easy thing to do.
“All thought is creative, but the real constructive creative power of mind comes only from true thoughts. True, positive, and affirmative thought has real power, for it produces the correct answer.”
- Dr. Ernest Holmes (1887-1960), from Living Without Fear
Cupid’s arrow reminds us True Love is in the air! Just look at all the candy and cards to prove it! Who doesn’t want an expression of love from those we care about? A belief in love not only attracts better relationships but also helps them grow. So, why not court more True Thoughts into our lives and experience their real power in other parts of our lives?
True Thought #1: You have a divine right to be happy.
To experience more satisfaction in life, consider believing you have a divine right to be happy. By divine, I mean you were born to experience happiness, to know happiness, and live happily. The right to be happy is fundamental. But if somehow you have not fully embraced this truth, adopt it now. Adopt True Thought #1 and use it as a theme in 2024 to experience greater happiness throughout the year.
True Thought #2: Your good cannot be withheld from you.
Adding this True Thought to your life also increases your well-being and optimism. Who doesn’t want more of those? Also add them to your goals in your daily prayers. Spirit is ready to give you more of the good you desire in all areas of your life. Court more True Thoughts like a lover and hold onto them dearly. Practicing them daily will stack the odds in your favor so you can live with greater ease and less stress. Adopt True Thought #2 by believing your good is not being withheld from you.
True Thought #3: Abundance is your natural birthright to experience.
Lastly, Dr. Holmes truly understood the power of True Thoughts in our lives, believing “affirmative thought has real power.” Any belief in abundance starts to reverse a prior belief in scarcity, such as a belief that love only comes once, success is rare, retirement is unattainable, or good health is out of reach. Believing in love, happiness, goodness, and abundance is a sure way to realize improvement in all your circumstances. These also broaden the activities you will be willing to undertake in your relationships. Adopt True Thought #3 abundance as your natural birthright to encourage Cupid to drop by your house more often than just once a year!

I learned a practical philosophy from the greatest college basketball coach who ever lived, John Wooden. He famously said to his players, “Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can.” How do we apply his philosophy today? Here are a few examples: I can’t speed up the healing process after surgery, but I can do my physical therapy. I can’t prevent Congress from bickering, but I can put my own state of affairs in order. These things I can do. Think about your future decisions. What could you change if you applied the advice of a Coach Wooden today? Could you see fear and chaos noticeably fading from your life day after day? Once you respond more intelligently to life’s challenges and focus on what you can control, you expect greater clarity and confidence while you progress through all your decisions. If you experience a loss, you are more willing to accept a quicker rebound. As you put your affairs in good order you expect them to be that way more frequently. Don’t put important decisions off into a wishful bottle just because you’ve become discouraged, fearful, or despondent by a recent event. Those are far worse burdens to carry. Thanks, Coach Wooden, for unburdening us from getting stuck in our own inaction. May Coach Wooden’s philosophy echo over the schoolyards, centers of worship, our U.S. Capitol buildings, neighborhoods, and store fronts. Who knew such a time-tested philosophy could also become a winning strategy on the spiritual playing field! “Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can.”
If you are still struggling and need a roadmap to get out of your fear and self-doubt, I encourage you to order my new 2nd edition of Power Your Decisions Self-Study Workbook and start changing those conversations today!
