The following excerpt was taken from HPS Maxine Dietrich's "2011, 2012, 2013, Sermons Volume 2" PDF, topic "The Tarot – Sermon 1/July/2014" found in the sermons section on the JoS website. I used it as inspiration for certain undertakings I'm going through and for guidance as well.
Also would recommend newer members and even experienced members go back to her sermons as I have gathered much renewed inspiration from going back to these over the years and it acts as a reminder of how far I've come since joining this path. FOREVER grateful to HPS Maxine Dietrich and all that she has provided to this community in the form of guidance and sermons. I really miss her direct presence(although I know she's still with us).

In closing, in regards to meditation- whenever you raise your powers through
yoga, mantra, or anything else, it is important to state affirmations. Never
let the energy go undirected or to waste. Goals are exceptionally important
and give meaning to life. Go over your personal goals. You can also write
your goals in your black book...short term goals, long-term goals; anything
you wish to accomplish. Take one of these goals and state an affirmation
right after your daily meditation. This needn't be long. You can affirm 7-10
times with focus. Visualization also is a great help using the white-gold
light upon what you wish to manifest. This can also be engulfing yourself in
the light of the astral Sun. Always state your affirmations in the present
tense and use as many of your astral senses in the visualization as you can,
such as astral smell, if applicable, astral hearing, touch and most
important- vision. Visualize yourself as if it is already happening along
with your affirmations. Following the affirmations is a good time for void
meditation, even if only for 10-15 minutes.
Goals give a sense of purpose and direction in life and make life
meaningful. Always work to finish what you start. The loser is the one who
quits. A winner is the one who gets back up. The winner finishes what he/she
starts. In life, on the road to accomplishing a goal, oftentimes, especially
in when working on larger more important goals, we encounter obstacles. The
winner will persist in spite of the obstacles. The loser will quit.
Meditation is an excellent help in breaking through and surviving obstacles.
Meditation also can help give us solutions to problems that cannot be
directly dealt with in the material world, such as smoothing over certain
situations, dealing with others and so forth.
