SELF IMPROVEMENT AND MOTIVATION

Things will not always go the way you planned, but you don’t have to let that stop you. Remind yourself that you can adapt, adjust, and continue doing what’s important to you. Often, the interruption itself is not what throws you off track. Your anger and disappointment may end up disrupting you longer than whatever interrupted you in the first place. Go ahead and accept the fact that interruptions will come along and plans will have to be altered. Then, just make the adjustments and get on with life. Some of those unplanned occurrences might actually turn out to contain pleasant surprises. Make the choice to live life’s value where you find it. Instead of seeing the interruption as an excuse, see it as an opportunity. Let it strengthen your resolve and provide you with a reason to focus even more intently on making the progress you have chosen to make. Life is filled with unplanned interruptions, and getting upset about them won’t do you a bit of good. Instead, let them come, let them

To get more done, quit trying so hard. Be at peace with the moment, and you’ll be able to make highly effective use of it.  Achievement is your natural state. Stop second guessing your intentions, and start acting on them. Reason to try is for cowards to go n achieve is for champions. Awesome right! Let go of the obsession that you must grab on to every little distraction that comes along. Great and meaningful value comes from lovingly and intently focusing on the task at hand.  Selfishly hiding away from life won’t do anyone any good. The more you give, the more you accomplish. Note to be focused on your goal with the end in mind. Have faith in what feels right, and in the actions you take to follow those feelings. Let yourself be the creative and fulfilled person you know you are.  Quit merely trying and start living. Choose now to be peaceful and confident, and to get your good and useful work done.

There is great possibility in you. Even here, even now, even with what you’ve been through, even with the way things are, there is great possibility.  Some specific, acutely meaningful possibility will have you jumping into an enthusiastic start every morning. You can already feel it within you, so figure out exactly what it is, and begin to live it.  There are things you dearly love about life. Allow yourself to love them even more and to greatly expand them.  Expect value, goodness, creativity and fulfillment to come from your actions. Then take those actions, with commitment, love, and positive presence.  When life is going well, there is the very real possibility to make it better. When life is not going well, that possibility is more clearly present and intensely compelling.  In this day, in this place, in this situation, and in you, is great possibility. Now is when you can do what you’ve always known you can do, and make it come to life.

You have a future, and what you do right now makes a difference in how that future will be. How you want next year to be all depends on you today in which what u are planning n strategizing for 2015 n beyond. You have a future and it is as bright as you choose in the present to make it. It’s all too easy and all too common to get discouraged about the future. Yet it is just as realistic, and it feels a whole lot better, to be positive about the future.  Meaning plan put it down on paper then work on a strategy and action plan. Have a check list n constant review. The way you see your future has a lot to do with the way it unfolds. What you expect plays a key role in what you get.  U can't change what has happen today and yesterday or last year. But what unfolds tomorrow can be changed today with the right strategy n plans you do today. No, things are never going to work out exactly the way you anticipated. However, you’re much more likely to get to a positive place when you’re movi

Much of the pain of undertaking a difficult task is the resentment you attach to it. Let go of the resentment and the pain will greatly subside. Work does not have to be a punishment or a chore. It is only your attitude that makes it such, and you can change that attitude in an instant. Imagine how it would feel to genuinely, even enthusiastically enjoy what you must do. Not only would you do a better job, you would feel a whole lot better while doing it. Even while doing the most arduous work, you can enjoy being you. Even in the most tedious situation, you can fill your mind with positive and fascinating thoughts. It might seem that whatever you’re doing is burdensome and meaningless. Yet that doesn’t mean your life ever has to be meaningless. Rise above the resentment, and remind yourself how fortunate you are to be living your life in this moment. Give real joy to whatever you’re going through, and your life will absolutely grow richer and more fulfilling.

You can do this. You can go from where you are right now to wherever you wish to be. Achievement is not a mere concept, and not just for a lucky few. Achievement has brought you this far, and will carry you to what you choose next. Whether you think of it this way or not, your life to this point has been a unique achievement. Every day, you have taken what life has thrown at you and you’ve made the choices that have resulted in your current situation. If you are thrilled and delighted about that situation, then by all means keep on doing what you’ve been doing. If there are things you’d like to change, now is the time to adjust your approach and take the actions to get you there. Whether it has been desirable or undesirable, or somewhere in between, you have achieved. Going forward, by making choices, and acting on those choices, you will achieve again and again. You can do this, and you will do this. So choose right now to do it in a way that makes your life the best you can imagine.

What if whatever happened, just happened? What if you didn’t have to fight against it?  Would it be so terrible to lose what you have if you still had the opportunity to build something new, something potentially even better? Is it really so important, so necessary to hang on so tightly to everything?  Sometimes, often in fact, what you have will prevent you from moving on ahead to what you can be. What if you had the confidence to move decisively toward what you can be? How would that look? What would you do right now? Adventure awaits. There are memories in your past, but adventure does not linger there, not even for a few moments.  Adventure is always ahead. Go get it, and go live it.

A breathtaking vista or exotic adventure can be very inspiring. Yet inspiration is not limited to mountaintop experiences, not by a long shot. Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, you can choose to be highly inspired. No tear-inducing video or soaring music is required. The thing is, every little part of life has the potential to inspire. Even the ordinary moments can be the source of refreshingly extraordinary inspiration. Look around you and consider all the work and passion that has gone into the everyday things within your view. Think about the wondrous path you yourself have taken to get to this very moment. Then, consider the possibilities. What you have is really quite amazing, and what you can do with it all truly boggles the mind. In every situation, there is ample raw material for exhilarating inspiration. Be inspired by everyday matters, and from such a constantly inspired state you’ll know that all good things are possible for you.

Sometimes it doesn’t feel like it, but what you do matters. Sometimes it’s hard to see how, but what you do makes a difference. There is always hope, because there is always something you can do. There is always hope, because there is always a way to change things for the better. Instead of wondering how much of an impact you’ll have, just go ahead and take action. Be the cause, and let the results come as they will. Nurture the very best of intentions. Then give life to those intentions with action. Often the path is twisted and complex. The only way to find your way through is to go. Set your sights on the results you desire. And be the cause, for as long as it takes to bring those results to life.

Your life means something and that meaning is now. Make use of this day to honor and fulfill the precious living purpose you have the good fortune to carry.  Feel the joys and the sorrows, but don’t let them slow you down. Ultimately, what really matters is to make the difference you are here to make.  Yes, you can make that difference, and carry life forward in your own special way. Let go of the fears, the excuses and rationalizations, and just go ahead and do what you are meant to do.  Your purpose is what you feel when you rid your awareness of all the things that don’t matter. Allow yourself to know the joy of giving more and more of your moments to that purpose. As each new moment arrives, give love and energy and life to the purpose that exists in you. See all that happens, whatever it is, as an opportunity to give life and substance to the purpose within. Live this day with the intention of transforming inner value into outer achievement. Make a purposeful difference, and exper

Whatever may have happened yesterday, today you have opportunity. After joy, disappointment, good fortune and bad, the opportunity of the present moment is yours.  Even if you’ve been speeding off on the wrong track, now you have the opportunity to get on the right one. Though you may have made plenty of mistakes, today is your opportunity to learn from them and to step forward in a positive way.  Give yourself a moment and feel a little bit of regret for missed opportunities. Then take the energy of that regret and turn it into positive action that will fulfill the promises of your current opportunities.  Your future has not been written yet. Now is when you write it.  The best opportunity is the one you fully appreciate and engage yourself in following. Opportunity is good to you when you are respectful of its power to change life for the better.  Whatever may have come or gone before, someone will make great strides with the opportunity that is now. Pick yourself up, get yourself go

Life can be great when you simply jump in and get moving. Instead of excessive worrying or endless analyzing, just make your choice and then go with it. Your first instinct is often your best one, because it comes from your authentic self. When you start taking a lot of other conflicting opinions and perspectives into account, your options quickly shrink. Certainly it pays to think things through, and to consider the advice of others.Just don’t let it all dilute the passion that can energize your life. Trying to make the perfect decision can often lead to no decision at all. Trying to avoid every mistake can be the biggest mistake, because you also avoid getting anything done. Though you can plan for the future, you cannot precisely predict it. So go ahead with the best you have, and you’ll be completely able to deal with whatever may happen. Even though it has no guarantees, this day is an incredible opportunity. So step confidently, enthusiastically forward with a smile on your face

You don’t have to have a reason to hope. Just go ahead, live with hope, and benefit from the perspective it gives you. Hope exists beyond reason. Hope is something you hold and nurture within yourself, and does not have to be supported or diminished by what’s happening in the world outside you. Hold on to hope, and let it give you the positive energy to move forward. See the world as it really is, and let your hope show you how you can make a positive difference. There is always hope, for you can always choose it. Choose hope not to escape from your troubles, but to successfully pull you through those troubles. Imagine a world, and imagine a life, driven by hope and by love, rather than by fear. Imagine, and then let what you imagine become real in the moment where you are. There is so much good that you can do, and in your heart you know it. Live with hope for the best, and act to make it so.

If you can’t find the right words to use, use the words you have. If you’re not sure what to do, just get busy and do what you can.  The way to learn how to improve whatever you’re doing is to do it. The more experience you give yourself, the more readily you’ll see how to make it better.  When you have the desire to make a difference, start doing whatever you can. The most effective way to figure out what to do is to figure it out as you go along.  What might sound good in theory probably won’t work in practice. Jump right in to the real world, and you’ll learn very quickly what works and what doesn’t.  You are at this moment just a few seconds away from beginning to achieve whatever you wish to achieve. Get started, and keep going.  Achievement belongs to those who act. Now is when you do it. 

What do you really, truly want to do with all that you have? This is your chance to make it happen.  Don’t waste this moment regretting other moments in your past, or fearing moments to come. Live this moment with joy, gratitude and positive purpose.  Let go of the thoughts that bring you down. Live today in a way that lifts you up, and all of life with you.  Stop repeating the same old tired excuses to yourself and to others. Choose now to be free of the limitations you’ve invented for yourself.  Everything necessary for joy and fulfillment is with you right here and now. Because all it really takes is you, and your choice to fully live.  Stop waiting, stop wishing, and stop putting off the rich fulfillment you know can be yours. Now is your moment to live like you mean it, with all that you have, so seize this grand opportunity and make it outstanding.

Have u seen a history book? Have u seen a blank one? There's always a story a war a winners achievement a leader a millionaire it's about anything n everything that people have done thru time n change others life or achieve some thing. So tell me how would you want your history book to be?

I want you to know one thing. You know how this is: if I look at the crystal moon, at the red branch of the slow autumn at my window, if I touch near the fire the impalpable ash or the wrinkled body of the log, everything carries me to you, as if everything that exists, aromas, light, metals, were little boats that sail toward those isles of yours that wait for me. Well, now, if little by little you stop loving me I shall stop loving you little by little. If suddenly you forget me do not look for me, for I shall already have forgotten you. If you think it long and mad, the wind of banners that passes through my life, and you decide to leave me at the shore of the heart where I have roots, remember that on that day, at that hour, I shall lift my arms and my roots will set off to seek another land. But if each day, each hour, you feel that you are destined for me with implacable sweetness, if each day a flower climbs up to your lips to seek me, ah my love, ah my own, in me all that fire

Every day is a mystery and would be history based on what u plan to write n do in the mystery so a good history is left behind. All opportunities in front are gates to a bigger wealth n abundance. It's how we are able to take action to it so that we create a history on that journey Frm Amarjeet Singh

You don’t have to act impressive to be impressive. You just have to be you.  And in any case, being impressive is not what matters. What matters is living the life you choose, and finding true fulfillment in doing so.  If you’re constantly worried about how you appear to others, you won’t appear in a very good light. It’s ridiculously easy to let go of that worry when you remind yourself how useless and counterproductive it really is.  Give yourself permission to enjoy the moment you’re in. Challenge yourself to share that joy, and wonder, and love, and enthusiasm, with as many people as possible, in your own special way.  What other people think of you, or of anything else, is their business. Your business is to give rich expression to the unique beauty of life that is within you. Go beyond striving to appear this way or that. Put your thoughts, energy and passion into authentic living, and add real joy and substance to every moment.

Life on any given day can be a lot of trouble. And life is well worth any trouble, any challenge that it imposes.  The process of getting things done is messy and inconvenient. The resulting positive difference you make is well worth the inconvenience.  Every good thing in life has a price. But if the price is the only thing you focus on, you miss seeing life’s great value.  For when you are willing to pay the price, what you get is a reward even greater than the price you’ve paid. What you get, what you experience, what you live and create, is well worth all you put into it.  If you avoid the challenges and hide from the difficult tasks, you lose out on the great value that you yourself can create. Choose instead to embrace the price, to willingly pay it, and you’ll find that choice to be well worth it.  Embedded in each challenge, in each difficulty, in every price, is a great reward. Step up, do what you must, and experience for yourself that the richness coming into your world is w

You are making progress. Now, make some more.  You are experienced, capable and effective. Now, put your abilities again to good and meaningful use.  You are very knowledgeable. Now, build on what you know and learn some more.  There have been some beautiful and fulfilling moments in your life. Take the opportunity today to create some new ones.  You know how great true joy feels. Let more joy now flow out into the world from your life, your words, your feelings and actions.  You are alive in a universe filled with possibilities. Now, fulfill the awesome promise of all that is with the best that can be. 

There may not be many reasons to be positive today, but you don’t need a reason to be positive. Being positive is a strategy, not a reaction.  The most powerful time to be positive is precisely when things around you are not so positive. In such a case, your approach can dramatically change the situation for the better. Don’t wait for a reason to be positive. Choose to be positive about your circumstances, about the possibilities, and about what you can do. Deal effectively with the challenges as they arrive while also looking beyond them. Visualize the positive outcome you have chosen, and let that vision push you forward. Life changes greatly from day to day, and things will not always be the way they are right now. With a positive perspective, you now have the opportunity to make the future better than the present. Instead of looking for reasons to be positive, look for ways to express your positive vision. Work to make your life resonate with that vision, and enjoy all the valuable

Be honest about who you are. It’s tiring to pretend you’re someone you’re not. Be honest about what you desire. It’s a waste of time and energy to strive for what you don’t even want. Be honest with yourself and with others about the challenges and the possibilities. You can absolutely achieve great things, and the way to do that is by being realistic about what must be done. Be honest in what you say and in what you do. Put the irrefutable power of truth on your side. Deception may seem easy and convenient in the moment, yet it is invariably destructive in the long run. Being honest requires strength, discipline and integrity, and those will all serve you well. Be honest for your own sake, for the sake of others, and for the sake of truth itself. Be honest, and give a continuing, solid boost to your best possibilities.

Very often, the things you think will make you feel good in the moment will leave you feeling very bad in the long run. Yet you can choose to feel good by doing what’s truly good and right for you, for those around you, and for your world. Don’t settle for just feeling good because of something you’re doing or something you have or someone you’re with. Don’t make your good feelings conditioned on what you’re watching, eating, drinking or experiencing.  Make the choice to feel great no matter what. Allow unencumbered good feelings to come from you rather than limiting your good feelings to only certain circumstances.  Imagine the freedom of not being held hostage to your desire for good feelings. Imagine feeling good because of your choice, and not being emotionally dependent on things that are beyond your control. Life can feel great if you let it. Let it, by letting go of what you think you need and allowing the authentic goodness of who you are.  Feel good because it is what you choo

Stop waiting, dreaming and hoping for someday. Start living and working today to achieve the best of your dreams and to fulfill the highest of your hopes. Whatever you put off until someday, never happens. Someday is forever out there, just around the corner, but never here and now. All that you have, and all the great and creative things you’re able to do, are here and now. So jump right in and enjoy making life happen, here and now. Waiting for someday is a lame excuse and a convenient way to hide from your own best possibilities. Choose today to stop hiding and to start really living. No matter how ambitious your goal may be, there is something you can do about it right now. There is no need, and there is no point, in putting your fulfillment off until some non-existent someday. Today is what you have, and it’s filled with energy, with possibility, with life and awareness and with your powerful presence. Embrace this day with all its richness, and use its moments to live true to you

If you don’t have time to get it all done, get some of it done. If you’re not able to do it perfectly, do it the best you can.  It’s great to visualize an ideal world. Always keep in mind, though, that you must live in the real world as it is.  Conditions are never going to be perfect, so stop waiting endlessly for them to be. The fact is, you can arrange for conditions to be good enough, and then go forward with what you have.  Aim for perfection, but don’t let that stop you from working with reality. Live according to your highest vision, and also with practical, common sense.  Climb to the top of the mountain and get a clear view of the big picture. Then commit yourself to taking care of all the little details, filling that big picture with living richness.  See life as the best it can be, and live life as it comes to you. That will keep you always moving in a positive, fulfilling direction. 

You might not reach your goal today. Yet you can reach a significant part of the way toward it.  You may not make as much progress today as you intend. Yet you will make some valuable progress.  Don’t you dare be discouraged by what you were not able to do. Instead, be inspired by what you have been able to get done, and by what you’re now in a position to achieve.  Even though you’re not able to reach all the way right now, reach. Go ahead, do what you can, now when you have the opportunity.  Get started, continue, make some progress, then do it again and again. Small efforts add up to big results when you repeat them often enough.  Reach forward, work forward and move forward. You’ve made some meaningful progress, and now is your chance to make even more. 

Put passion into what you do, whatever it is. Your passion confers great power, and engages your best abilities, and you can put it into anything. There’s no need to search for, or wait for, or wonder about what will give you passion. Go ahead and give your passion to the moment you’re in. What provides you with passion is your choice to live it. What gives you passion is your decision to allow it to flow into your thoughts, words and actions. Live your life not as a bystander. Live in this world, on this day, at this place as an active participant. Discover how empowering it feels to give authentic passion to the smallest of details. Experience for yourself how great it is to care without holding back. Put passion in this day, in this task, and in this circumstance. Be rewarded with exceptional effectiveness and meaningful achievement.

Expect this day to be a richer, more fulfilling day than yesterday. Expect better, and your life will rise to meet those expectations.  Expect the most favorable outcome and you’ll discover ways to bring it about. Expect a positive experience and you’ll find the goodness in every situation.  The way you act is informed and influenced by what you expect. Choose to expect better and you’ll do better.  Expect to understand, to resonate and to forge deep connections with those around you, and you will. Expect to create value out of whatever you have to work with, and that value flows forth.  Expect to make a meaningful positive difference today. Expect peace, love, healing and goodness, and your efforts and energy will focus to bring them about.  Do yourself and your world a big favor, and expect better. Expect better, and find joy in the journey of making it so. 

You’re never too old, too knowledgeable or too experienced to learn something new. It can be positively energizing to learn a new skill or to improve significantly on an existing one. One big hindrance to new learning is the assumption that you already know enough. In a world where knowledge is increasing at an unimaginable and accelerating pace, that’s an assumption that can get you in trouble. Be truly thankful for what you know. Then make even better use of that knowledge by building on it. Your mind benefits from challenging mental exercise just as your body benefits from rigorous physical activity. Keep your mind in great shape by opening it up to new and invigorating challenges. Make your valuable life experience even more valuable by adding new skills and knowledge to it. With each new thing you learn come great new opportunities. Open your mind to new learning. And enrich every area of your life.

You have what you need. Now go make something of it.  You have an abundance of possibilities. Now get busy fulfilling the best of them.  You have resources, abilities, interests, skills and passions. Now do something meaningful and enjoyable with them.  Don’t waste your time and energy wishing for more. Invest yourself in creating new richness in your own unique way.  Instead of obsessing over what you don’t have, imagine what you can create. Instead of getting hung up on the challenges, get excited about the possibilities.  You are connected to all of life’s abundance. Now do the work to create and to follow the path of your own special greatness.

Be sincerely useful, and create meaningful value. You’ll never run out of opportunities to make a difference.  The fulfillment you seek will not come from what you possess. It will come from what you contribute.  Life is beautiful and you can make it more so. The opportunity is everywhere.  The more challenging things become, the more of a difference you can make. Remind yourself how great it feels to genuinely be of service, and then do it again and again.  The more you give, the richer your life becomes. The more value you create, the more hopeful and fulfilling all of life becomes.  Seek to be useful, and you’ll find plenty of ways. Choose to make a positive difference, and experience life at its highest, most satisfying level. 

Taking action is not as difficult as you imagine it to be. Get up now and get it done.  The comfort and ease of doing nothing are highly overrated, especially in the long run. Life is here, life is miraculously yours, so live it.  Live life fully by taking an active role in it. Feel your purpose, feel your desire, feel your dreams and follow them with all you have.  Make a commitment, voice your opinion, use your skills and put real, active substance into this day. Step forward, put forth the effort, follow through and contribute your own brand of richness to this beautiful world.  The possibilities are all around you. Great new value is begging to be created, and you’re in the fortunate position of being able to answer the call.  Remind yourself how effective you can be and then put that effectiveness to good use. Get up, get going and give your best to this great day which offers you a great opportunity to succeed in life and have success.

This day exists so that you can do something meaningful with it. This world exists so that you can marvel at its astounding beauty.  Your thoughts, passions, skills, interests and abilities are yours so that you can make use of them. The miracle of life is yours so that you can experience it fully.  The possibilities are here because you will find so much fulfillment in bringing them to life. The challenges are here because you can lift all of life by working through them.  There is hope because you are able to feel it. There is love because you are able to give it.  Realize how vital it is for you to appreciate how precious and full of promise it all is. Resolve again to live life’s great and limitless promise one unique moment at a time.  Feel the richness of life as it exists right now. Step forward, with a joy that goes beyond understanding, and fulfill the promise.  Don't waste times with things that don't benefit you or people with no vision and are always negative. They

Though it is not your fault, make it your responsibility. Though it is not your job, make it your responsibility to achieve your goals and provide the best. Responsibility is yours for the taking. When you do choose to take it, what you get are expanded options, greater opportunities and more positive possibilities. Responsibility makes good things possible. Responsibility enables you to make a difference take a chance. Responsibility is not easy, not convenient, and often not very comfortable. Yet if you are to make something positive and meaningful out of the situation, responsibility is absolutely necessary. It may not seem fair to have to take responsibility for circumstances you didn’t create. However, by doing so you gain the control that enables you to move forward. As in wealth creation and opportunity here and now. Responsibility is there for you to take. Take responsibility and with it, create something great.

The way to care is not to find fault with others for failing to care. The way to truly, effectively care is to show, with your actions and your life, how you care.  The way to communicate a truth is not to insist on it, but to demonstrate it, to live it. The way to convince is not to argue, but to understand.  Being of assistance to others does not mean making them indebted to you. Give, not to boost your ego or influence, but to express the beauty of being alive. To truly enjoy life, let go of any limitations you have placed on joy. Instead of setting up elaborate situations and expecting joy to come from them, simply choose to give joy to any situation. Rather than striving to deny or hide from or fight against the truth, embrace it. Accept what is true, and put the power of truth on your side. Though the universe is delightfully complex, life, at its heart, is not particularly complicated. Live true to who you are and though it won’t always be easy, you’ll live well.

What you have right now, right here, is opportunity. Whatever you’re doing, whatever commitments, plans and challenges you may have on this day, you also have an abundance of opportunity. With your actions you can add richness to your own life and the lives of others. With the way you choose to live this day, you can make it a day that makes a real, positive difference. You can learn, grow, build, create, teach, assist, connect, laugh, love and enjoy. In every moment, in every situation, with every person you encounter, there is the opportunity to create new goodness. Remember that there are good and valuable opportunities available to you. Choose to align yourself with those positive opportunities rather than any negative assumptions. The opportunity of now has great potential for value. Today, you are positioned to bring that value to life in unique, meaningful and enriching ways. Choose to look out on this day and see the opportunity with which it is filled. Now, while it is here, l

The problem is not that there’s too much to do. The problem is that it can be difficult to see the point of it all.  You are amazingly skilled and highly capable. Yet without a clear, persistent and meaningful direction, you’re not going to be very effective.  For a moment, put all the stuff that needs to be done out of your mind. Peacefully step back and reacquaint yourself with what’s most important to you.  You have your life, and those you love. You have interests, passions, longings, values, things you find funny, things you find fascinating, and things you care deeply about.  With a rich sense of what really matters to you, choose to see a clearly defined direction forward. Now is your time to live with purpose, to express to all of life who you truly are.  Though the problems and responsibilities will not just go away, you can deal with them from a higher, more empowered perspective. Get clear on your direction, and you become more positive and effective in every moment.

Choose to hope and there will be hope. Choose to love and there will be love. Seek out and appreciate life’s beauty, and you will find it in abundance. Decide to be joyful, and you will experience joy. There is much in this world that is out of your control. And yet, you can precisely control how you feel about it and what you do with it. There may be many good things you do that no one else appreciates or even notices. And yet, you will know, and you will benefit from creating new goodness in the world. Welcome what is, welcome what comes, and choose to put some of your own positive energy into it. The more energetic you are, the more energy you will create. Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, whatever you have, whomever you’re with, you have a choice. Choose in your own way to live richly in every moment.

Just because someone is rude or petty to you is not a reason for you to act the same way. Instead, take the opportunity to rise above the pettiness to a more powerful and effective level.  You never truly win by fighting. You win by being bigger than the fight.  Rudeness and hostility are unmistakable signs of weakness and insecurity. Don’t weaken yourself by giving in to them.  Choose honest, honorable, benevolent objectives and pursue them with respect, positive action, diligence and understanding. Rather than letting small-minded people pull you down, push forward with integrity and commitment to goodness.  Resist the temptation to be drawn into meaningless arguments, and feel yourself growing stronger and more confident. Live your values in a positive, purposeful way and live beyond the useless squabbles.  Life is too precious to waste even a moment of it on someone else’s misguided negativity. Be bigger than the fight, and spend your life in the service of the truly good and valua

What if you woke up each day clearly remembering everything in your past without being emotionally hindered by any of it? What if you could treat each new moment as a fresh opportunity, free of outdated assumptions, resentment, anger, regret or doubt? In fact, you can. You can choose what to think, and even how to feel.  In this moment, and every moment, you can think of your highest goals as achievable. You can feel passionate about living with positive purpose, and feel fully empowered to do so.  You can view the problems not as permanent barriers but rather as pathways for meaningful achievement. You can see the disappointments not as excuses to give up, but as reasons to push forward.  Your past can inform you, inspire you, and help you to understand who you are. Yet it never has to hold you back.  Right now is your opportunity to move decisively toward what you know is right. Now is when you create the future, unhindered by the past. 

Open yourself up to new possibilities by letting go of old, worthless habits and assumptions. Open yourself up to new richness by remembering how good life can be when you let yourself live it fully. You are truly unique and special. To fulfill the unique possibilities that are yours, you must allow them and act on them. It is easy to get stuck in a familiar, comfortable rut, and to dismiss any new possibilities as being too much trouble. However, those possibilities will give you massive amounts of fresh energy and enthusiasm, so don’t let them pass you by. Open up to the new possibilities that come with each new day, each new situation, each new idea, and every person you encounter. As you move steadily and unavoidably forward in time, experience the richness available along the way. You’re never too young or too old to fully live the moment you’re in. You’re never too rich or too poor, too well informed or too ill-informed to grab the great possibilities that are right in front of y

Think of what you can do today to show yourself that your life really means something. Think of what you can do today to get yourself refreshingly outside your comfort zone.  Challenges and new situations will put you a little on edge and make you a bit uncomfortable. And as such, they will empower you greatly.  You can do much more than you now imagine you can do. Let yourself find out what that is.  There’s more to life than speculating about what you might be able to do, and wondering whether or not you can. At some point you must find out for yourself.  Give yourself a little push into something that will challenge you in a meaningful way. Jump in and get busy transforming what you wish for and what you dream about into what is.  Discover how truly purposeful, creative, capable and effective you can be. Feel how much stronger and how much more alive you can become. 

Life is truly magical and you can experience the magic in every moment. Life is magical and that magic is here and now. To experience the magic, you don’t have to divorce yourself from reality. In fact, to know life’s magic is to know reality at its highest level. There’s no need to set things up in a certain way in order to enjoy life’s magic. All that’s needed is to live with an appreciation for the magic that is always there. Life’s magic is not a denial of reality. It is a deeper and more thankful understanding of what is real and present in your world. The real magic of life is not a trick or a supernatural phenomenon. It is in the fact that you can see, feel, think, choose, live and love. The magic of life is life itself, the very life that you experience in each moment. Live the magic, for the magic is you.

Consider, decide, and do. Think about what’s most important to you, and then put those thoughts into action.  Take notice of the doubts and fears, learn what they have to teach, and then let them go. Make the commitment to move forward no matter what, and honor that commitment each day.  Achievement is challenging but not particularly complicated. It’s a matter of consistently putting your values, goals, desires and dreams into action.  It’s up to you to make your life the way you want it to be. Every day is filled with opportunities for you to make meaningful progress.  Don’t settle for being overcome with regret, wondering what might have been. Use this day, this month, this year to create the best of what you know can be.  Consider what truly matters, decide with passion and commitment to go for it, and do what you must do to make it happen. Today is your time to live with purpose, so go ahead and make it count. 

A very good day, Some of the greatest lessons are taught by children. The following strings of thoughts can also be applied to that line. Life can be enjoyable if we become aware of the necessity of variety. A child has the desire to have and appreciate variety in life. It does not think about the silliness or magnanimity of its thoughts about variety but just goes seeking for it.Anyone who has observed a child for just five minutes would attest the fact that the child is continuously seeking variety and change. For a child, life is that particular moment only. It delves into the endless possibilities of finding variety in its day. No wonder children are the happiest in the world.As we grow up, we somehow tend to become content with routines and seriousness. · We run to our office without giving a thought about the cool breeze that morning. · We gulp down our tea without even thinking how wonderful it is to taste and feel the refreshing experience of tea. · We r

Relax your mind and calm your thoughts. Let go of the frustrations, anxieties, and judgments, and just be.  Just be, and feel the miracle of your own existence. Just be, and feel the spark of joy that’s deep within you.  Focus on that joy and allow it to grow ever more present in your awareness. Feel that joy and see it flowing out from you into all of life. Let go of the need to struggle, and simply let yourself be. Let go of the urge to make things this way or that, and enjoy the beauty of the way things are. There is certainly much you can do to make a positive difference in life. And you’ll do it far more effectively when you live and act with a peaceful spirit. For this precious moment, just be, and feel the power of your own authentic purpose. Just be, and gain new energy with which to live and express that purpose.

If you’re too easily distracted, don’t blame the distractions. Instead, consider how you could make your work more meaningful and compelling. Rather than fighting against the distractions, overpower them. Seek to put things in your life and your work that are so interesting and captivating that the plain old ordinary distractions are left with no way to compete. It’s much easier for the little, meaningless things to distract you if you’re subconsciously looking for things to distract you. The more you focus on what’s truly important in your life, the less you’ll be knocked off your task by distractions. Imagine what you could focus on that would get you totally engaged and absorbed and immune to just about any kind of distraction. Imagine what things would be so thoroughly meaningful to you that it would be nearly impossible to pull you away from them. You owe it to yourself to follow a strong and compelling purpose. You owe it to life to work toward the achievement of those things tha

You are here today, alive and aware. You have power and influence, skills and abilities right here and now, so put them to good use right here and now. You can get yourself all wrapped up in a tangled mess of inaction by wondering and worrying about what might happen. Choose instead to get yourself passionate and enthusiastic about what will happen when you make the effort to make a positive difference. You are here today, so do something great with it. You are here today, in a world of beauty and possibility and opportunity, so seize the moment, this one right here, and make it count. What do you really, truly want to do and how to you really, truly want to feel? What is so massively important to you that nothing else really matters in comparison? Challenge yourself to honestly answer those questions. Then, pick yourself up and go do all you can to make those desirable and meaningful things a reality in your world. You are here today, living in an authentic one-of-a-kind opportunity t

Enjoy the diligent, focused, challenging work, and enjoy the carefree, lighthearted, playful times. Enjoy the moments of quiet solitude as well as the times when you’re surrounded by the stimulating energy of the people in your life. Enjoy giving love and being loved. Enjoy making a difference and enjoy the assistance and collaboration of others who make a difference in your life. Enjoy the things you’re confident of as well as the things that are a mystery. Enjoy diving into life’s pleasures and enjoy working through life’s problems. Enjoy the warm sun on your skin and enjoy the cold wind against your face. Enjoy being confident and enjoy being surprised.  The more of life you enjoy, and treasure, and appreciate, the more access you’ll have to life’s best possibilities. When you can find something to sincerely enjoy, you have found a pathway to great value and fulfillment. Today is a unique, one-of-a-kind experience, filled with opportunities for all different kinds of richness. Step

The questions and mysteries give you a chance to learn. The challenges give you an opportunity to make a positive difference.  The people with whom you disagree give you a way to see life from a different perspective. The disappointments you endure can put you on a path toward becoming more determined and effective.  Instead of complaining about what’s negative, you can look for what’s positive. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, you can feel fortunate to be where you are.  When there’s nothing interesting or exciting going on, you have the chance to exercise and strengthen your imagination. When the world feels gray and dreary, you can find unique, original beauty in the unlikeliest of places. Every day, life gives you options. What you choose from those options and what you do with them, determines where you are at the end of the day. Right now, you have many options. Choose the most positive, life-affirming, interesting, loving and fulfilling ones, and the reality of your life w

Don’t discount what you already have. There is great value in your life if you will simply open yourself up to see it, to appreciate it, and to make meaningful use of it. Sometimes the challenges can seem so overwhelming that they block out everything else. Yet when the challenges are at their greatest is precisely when you can benefit most from connecting to the abundance in your life. That abundance is absolutely there. So how do you see it, and make use of it? Start by being thankful for the life you have, and for the people, places, things and events in it. Then, focus on a vision of exactly how you would like your life to be, if it could be any way you choose. Make that vision an intention, and commit yourself to that intention without compromise. Allow yourself to become positively passionate and joyful about working your way toward where you truly wish to go. When you have something positive and specific upon which to focus, you’ll begin to see more and more of the value that’s

You don’t have to be annoyed. You can be inspired. You don’t have to be frustrated. You can be motivated and determined. The way you respond is not dictated solely by the situation. The way you respond is decided by you. No matter what has happened, your attitude is a choice that’s made by you. Instead of letting the interruptions, distractions and frustrations get you down, you can just as realistically choose to let them push you forward. It’s natural to assume that negativity must make you negative, and that you must have some kind of positive reinforcement in order to be positive. But that’s not the case at all, because you can choose to move positively forward no matter what. Decide that you’ll let both the good things and the bad things push you ahead. And be amazed at how far you can go.

There is so much that must be done. And although you may not get it all finished today, you can get something done, so go ahead and do it. Some tasks will likely take longer than you anticipated, and that can be frustrating. Yet even when the progress is slow, you are indeed making progress, so choose to be more thankful and less frustrated. Instead of complaining about what you can’t do, put all your focus and energy into what you can do, and into what you are doing. Little by little, bit by bit, work your way forward. One of the biggest enemies of persistence is discouragement. So refuse to be discouraged, and congratulate yourself on making one step at a time. Plenty of things can slow you down, yet you don’t have to let anything stop you completely. Even if it’s just in a small way, you can find a way to keep going. It feels great to know you’re making a difference, so do a little bit, and feel a little better. Keep going, and you’ll soon be amazed at how far you’ve come.

Acting with arrogance toward others does not add any positive value to your life. Being spiteful does not bring you any lasting sense of fulfillment.  It is completely understandable to be frustrated and angered by the words and actions of others. Yet the answer is not to add to the existing negativity with more negativity of your own.  Imagine taking the high road. Imagine putting your energy into positive pursuits instead of into negative reactions.  Your life is too precious to spend even a few moments of it consumed with hatred or arrogance or other kinds of negativity. For the sake of your own well being, turn your attention toward the good and beneficial things you can think and do.  Take the time to consider what adds value to your life and your world, and what takes that value away. Then commit yourself to living in such a way that adds more value.  Each moment is filled with countless possibilities, so choose the very best ones. Instead of getting mired in negativity, lift you

Good ideas work best when you work on them. Even not so great ideas can be made to work well when you put focused and committed effort into them. Whatever you start with is not nearly so important as what you do with it. Even the difficulties can turn out to be blessings when you work on them. A day that starts out great can become even better when you work on it. A day that starts out lousy can improve significantly when you go to work on it. Be thankful and accepting of whatever comes your way. Then, with positive and purposeful intentions, go to work on it. The difference between what doesn’t work and what does work, is the work you put into it. The way to make things work is to make yourself work. Always, opportunity is within your reach. When you work on it, you can transform that opportunity into real, satisfying fulfillment.

You know you can always make improvements, so challenge yourself to do it. Challenge yourself to make today more productive, more enjoyable and more fulfilling than any day yet. Instead of just letting life throw random challenges at you, go ahead and provide yourself with truly meaningful challenges. As long as you’re going to be working through challenges, they might as well be the challenges that bring new value to your life. Instead of running or hiding from the problems, challenge yourself to work through them. Instead of settling for less than the life you envision, challenge yourself to reach for your dreams. Put some real, good, satisfying substance in your life. Challenge yourself to live the richness of your best possibilities. Challenge yourself to get started early, to hit the ground running, and to be highly effective in your efforts. Challenge yourself to ignore the distractions and meaningless superficial noise, and to focus on real, fulfilling purpose. Today is a magnif

Make the choice to feel good about yourself, about your world, about your possibilities, right now. Make the choice and then commit yourself to bringing your positive choices to life. But how can you feel good about things when things are not so good? Because you can make a difference, and the more positively focused you are, the more power you have to make that positive difference. There’s no need to deny the reality of the situation. Simply make the choice to see the positive possibilities, to deeply feel the value of those possibilities, and to bring them about. If there is darkness all around you, make the choice to shine a light of encouragement, hope, empowerment and loving action. Make the choice to focus on your highest vision, and on working your way toward that vision. It is not quick or easy or convenient to make the world a better place. Yet it is much better than the alternative of giving yourself over to inaction and despair. Make the choice to look lovingly and gratefull

It is amazing what you can do if you will simply do it. Instead of wondering whether or not you’re able, take action and discover that you can. If you follow your vision, people might think you’re crazy. Persist in taking positive action, and show them how truly mistaken they are. If all you ever do is think about it and wonder about it, you’ll come up with plenty of excuses. Take action, and all the excuses go out the window.  Go ahead and find out how wonderfully capable and effective you are. Go ahead and make your time count for something by making a meaningful difference with it.  Rock solid confidence comes from knowing that you can. Knowing that you can, comes from actually doing it.  Take that action, feel that confidence, and experience the power of your own abilities. Go ahead, make the effort, give it your best, and discover that you can. 

When you don’t know what to do, be thankful. When you don’t know how to be, be thankful. When the joys come, be thankful. When the challenges and sorrows arrive, be thankful. In every experience there is always some value. Be thankful for the opportunity to have the experience, no matter what it is. Be thankful, and become more intensely aware of life’s abundance. Be thankful, and discover new ways to make good use of that abundance. Be thankful for the moment, whatever it may bring. For your thankfulness will add value to anything it lands upon. Be thankful for what is, and you will see the beauty and the possibilities in it. Be thankful, and be amazed at how much better life becomes.

Don’t work hard to be happy. Be happy to work hard.  Instead of resenting the effort, or avoiding it altogether, put your own joy into it. Make your work an expression of your happiness rather than a precursor to that happiness. If you postpone your happiness until after the work is done, you’ll miss the opportunity to make use of its power. Work happy, and you’ll work much more effectively. Work happy, and you’ll provide yourself with a whole lot more time to be happy. Put happiness into even the most difficult effort and you’ll find ways to put the power of happiness into just about anything. You don’t have to be naive or to deny reality in order to work happy. With both feet planted solidly and pragmatically on the ground, you can benefit from an attitude that soars a mile high. Be truly happy about the difference you can make as you work to make that difference. Work happy, and add plenty of new richness to life.

When the goal is in sight, you’re much more highly motivated to work toward it. So no matter how far away the goal is, keep it in sight and keep moving enthusiastically toward it. When you can see that you’re making progress, you are naturally encouraged to make more progress. So as you move forward, remind yourself how far you’ve come, and keep on going. Nothing can take the place of a clear and meaningful purpose. So give yourself the energy to achieve by knowing exactly where you wish to go and why you want to get there. Feel the achievement and the rewards that come with it as you work steadily toward it. Keep your vision focused on the goal as you move ever closer to that goal. Effort becomes effortless and energy becomes far more abundant when you see the objective getting closer and closer. Make use of the power of your dream to make that dream come true. Get the goal in sight and keep it there as you enjoy your own effective effort to move forward. Keep the goal in sight, no ma

Spend your time as if it is precious, because it is. Spend your time as if it can bring great value to your world, because it can. Live this moment as if you will never be able to live it again, because you won’t. Seek to get as much as possible from the time you have right now, and you will. The more you value and appreciate each moment, the more value each moment will bring you. The way to be truly thankful for the life you have and for everything in it, is to constantly make good and meaningful use of it all. If you had a magnificent, sparkling diamond that was worth fifty million dollars, you’d likely be extremely careful with it. Your life on this day is much more precious than a mere diamond, so remind yourself to take great care and make the most of every moment. Before you waste it on anger, resentment, spite or envy, think of how precious and irreplaceable your time is. Remind yourself that you have many better choices. Your life is truly precious. And you can make it even mor

You have the opportunity to take a negative situation and transform it into positive value. You have the opportunity to take an ordinary moment and make it into an extraordinary experience. You have the opportunity because you can make a difference. You have the opportunity because you care very deeply about life, and have the ability to put that caring into action. Life can unfold in many different ways, creating an unimaginable variety of situations. In every one of those situations, there is opportunity. Those people who choose to see the opportunities, and to do something about them, are the people who enjoy the best life has to offer. You are never more fully alive than when you are transforming what is possible into what is real. Every day is an opportunity to express your purpose and your love of life in new and valuable ways. Every moment is an opportunity to give something of yourself and by so doing, to taste a flavor of life’s richness that cannot be experienced in any other

Once you start, and put a little of yourself into the effort, it’s easier to keep going. Get started, doing whatever you can, knowing that you’ll build some momentum. Even though it may be difficult to imagine finishing the task, go ahead and start. Once you’re moving forward, you’ll find new and fulfilling ways to keep going. Start, and put some honest, dedicated effort into the work. The more you give, the more you’ll have available to give. Start, and be willing to learn all you can. Be open to new ideas, new skills, new connections, new methods and new inspiration, and you’ll find them in abundance. Momentum is a powerful force, yet it works against you when you’re sitting idle. Start, and put the enormous power of momentum on your side. Achievement begins when you make the choice to start. Start now, and you will have taken that most important first step.

If what you’re doing is not working, adjust. Rather than giving up on the effort, give the effort the benefit of your experience and informed consideration. Every time you fail to get the result you want, you succeed in learning more about what doesn’t work. Put that knowledge to good use, and make some adjustments. Even when you do get the desired result, you’ve likely learned how you could do things even better. Whether you’ve succeeded or failed, make the adjustments that will make you more effective next time. Conditions regularly change, and you have the opportunity to change with them, or even ahead of them. By adjusting your efforts, you can keep creating new, meaningful value. The animals, plants, organizations, businesses and individuals who succeed in the long term are the ones who adapt and adjust. Be aware of your level of effectiveness, be aware of your environment, be aware of what changes and what doesn’t, and adjust accordingly. Even the smallest adjustment can sometime

Envision something that would add more goodness to life, and then follow that vision. Envision something that would make your world more enjoyable, more fulfilling, more enriching, and then make that vision happen. It’s easy to dwell on what is wrong. It is far more useful, though, to focus on how things can be better. What positive change would improve your life right now? Envision it, and then envision ways to get there. Use the power of your mind for more than just worrying and complaining about what’s wrong. Put your creative mind and your unique imagination to work bringing about more things that are good and right. Challenge yourself to envision a new direction, a more effective approach, or a more enlightened perspective. Challenge yourself to look beyond the difficulties and to see the opportunities toward which those difficulties point. The quality of your vision drives the quality of your life. Envision the world you would most like to see, and follow that vision to

Stop taking refuge in the promise of quick fixes or the familiarity of worn-out excuses. Make the effort, do the work, and fulfill your best possibilities.  Even if you can’t get it perfect, work on it. Even if you can’t get it all done right away, work on it.  Work on it with commitment and persistence. You know you’re capable of creating new, worthwhile, meaningful value, so do what you know you can do.  This day is a unique opportunity that you’ll only get once. Work on it, and lock in the value of that opportunity while you can.  Don’t sacrifice the chance to make a lasting difference for a little fleeting, momentary pleasure. Persist, focus, do the work and enjoy the far greater pleasure of a job well done.  Life will get even better when you work on it. Use the powerful opportunity of this day to do just that. 

The next step you take is the one that matters. You have the power to choose right now what that step will be.  Even if you’ve been going for weeks or for years in a negative direction, your next step can be a positive one. Even if it’s a small positive step, it can change your direction and establish a new momentum. No matter where you are or what you’ve done or failed to do, you can now choose to move toward what you value most. The way to make that choice is with your next step.  You can wish and hope and plan and talk about where you want to go. Yet it is your next step that will actually begin to get you there.  Your next step sets the direction for your future. And you have the opportunity right now to decide what that next step will be.  Your next step is ready and waiting for you to take it. Choose to make it one that will move your whole world forward. 

If you’re filled with resentment or frustration, you’re wasting your precious time and energy. The more quickly you can let the bad stuff go, the more quickly you can move on to the good stuff.  People and events will regularly cause delays, inconveniences, expenses, disappointments and worse in your life. Don’t add to the damages by letting those things keep you down. When people have wronged you or events have sidetracked you, you have plenty of great reasons for complaints and excuses. But complaints and excuses don’t provide anything of value to your life. Although whatever has happened to you may be highly unfair, wrong and inconsiderate, consider letting it go. For your own sake, consider letting it go. Instead of giving others the power to get you down, give yourself the power to move forward. Instead of being content to collect those complaints and excuses, enjoy the freedom and satisfaction of making life positive and fulfilling no matter what. Make the choice to live with joy

Whatever it is you wish to accomplish, you can do it. You can do it if you will take the time and make the effort. Very likely you have talked yourself out of it, and others have talked you out of it, too. Nonetheless, you can do it by making the choice and making the commitment. It will demand the best of you, but that’s a benefit rather than a drawback. Giving your all while working toward a meaningful goal is one of the most empowering things you can do. And you can do it, without question, without a doubt. You can do it when you choose to start and continue making the choice to keep going. Whatever may seem to be beyond your reach begins to draw closer the moment you begin to do the work. Instead of complaining that you don’t know what to do, just do what you can and make the commitment to learn more each step of the way. You are here right now to achieve great and wonderful things. You can, so do it.

There is greatness within you. Allow it to come out, and let all the world benefit from what you have to offer. There are strengths and abilities within you, ready to be put to good use. Focus on a meaningful purpose, and allow those strengths and abilities to flower. You have courage, determination, focus, discipline, creativity and passion within you. As you face life’s many challenges, remind yourself to call upon all those valuable qualities. There is the power of love within you. Let that love always make a difference in the lives of those around you. There is unique, original beauty within you. As you live each day, express that beauty in whatever you do, making it ever more abundant. There is real, true, rich and wonderful life within you. In every moment, every day, live it as fully as you can imagine.

Challenge is a fact of life. Though it might seem nice to trade your own particular challenges for somebody else’s, you’d likely find those other challenges to be just as burdensome. Instead of seeking to be free of your challenges, seek to be motivated to move successfully through them. A life with no challenge is a life with no opportunity for growth, fulfillment or satisfaction. Your challenges are yours for a very good reason. They are precisely the challenges that will enable you to grow stronger, more capable, and more fulfilled. So don’t resent the challenges, and don’t avoid those challenges. Don’t complain about the challenges or pretend they’re not there. Deal with each challenge and become stronger. Work through every challenge and feel the confidence that comes from knowing you can do it. Life’s challenges give you the opportunity to experience yourself growing stronger. See each challenge for the potential value it represents, and make that value your own. 

Punishing yourself for your mistakes won’t erase them or move you forward. Being angry and disappointed at yourself for a missed opportunity or a wasted day won’t achieve anything positive. Instead, forgive yourself, and free yourself from your past mistakes. Forgive yourself, learn from those mistakes, and turn your attention to what you can do now. Choose to be more determined, more committed, and more focused rather than being angry. Transform the energy of disappointment and regret into useful action and achievement. Whatever may have happened or failed to happen in the past, you have this moment right now. And you can make productive, meaningful use of it, beginning right now. You don’t have to let a disappointing experience turn into negative momentum. You have the power to instantly put yourself on a positive path, so make the choice to exercise that power. Look ahead, imagine the best, and get yourself busy moving forward. Leave the regrets about the past in the past, and find

The best of life is not out of your reach. It is here in this moment. It is outstanding to dream, to plan, to work toward a meaningful goal and to achieve great and valuable things. But you don’t have to wait for later to get the most out of life. Everything you need to enjoy the richness of life is here now, today, where you are. With what you have, with what you know, with what you feel and with what’s available to you, you can experience life at its best. The key for doing so is to live with purpose, with authentic passion, with enthusiasm and genuine gratitude. In whatever situation you may find yourself, with whatever else you may have, you have the privilege of experiencing life from your own unique perspective. Let go of the illusion that something else, something out there, something apart from you will make you happy. Let happiness and real, true joy flow from whatever you’re doing, wherever you are. This day is too precious to waste it waiting or hoping for things to be diffe

Stop for a moment and consider how rich you are right now, today. Then you can step forward and live the benefits of that richness. You are alive and aware in a universe filled with abundance. That’s worth more than you could possibly calculate, and there’s no limit to what you can do with that richness. Yet there’s much, much more. For you can learn, you can explore, you can connect, you can build and create and add more wisdom and experience on top of the wealth you already have. If one area of your life seems to be lacking in richness, you can make use of the richness in other areas to overcome that deficit. Whatever problem or challenge may confront you, there is plenty of richness and energy in your life to move you beyond it. Living successfully is largely a matter of appreciating and utilizing what you have. So make it a point to regularly feel the immense power and value of what you have, and to focus that value on moving forward. You are truly rich today, and the more fully yo

If you want to feel great, get yourself up and make some progress. If you seek to have new, powerful energy, get yourself busy making a meaningful difference. Don’t worry too much about how you’ll get it all done or how much you’ll be rewarded. Let it be reward enough to make a valuable difference, and many other rewards will naturally flow from that. Get started making a positive difference in the world, and build some positive momentum. Once you’re moving along and creating value, you’ll find plenty of ways to keep going. If there’s something that’s been weighing you down, stop fretting over it and start working on it. There’s much you can do to make progress, so get yourself busy moving beyond the burden. Today is filled with possibilities, so make use of them to make some progress. And feel how great it feels to watch as your efforts move your world forward.

When your efforts bring disappointment, the worst thing you can do is abandon those efforts. Keep making the efforts, and eventually you’ll work your way to the results you desire. Quitting won’t end your frustration or despair. On the contrary, quitting will just lock the frustration and despair permanently in place. Instead of giving up, make the commitment to work through. Work through the disappointments, work through the discouragement, work through the frustration and work your way toward success. When you feel like stopping, like you’re hitting the wall, keep going. Keep going and you’ll get through that wall into a more creative, productive state of flow. You’ve worked your way this far, and you certainly have it in you to work on through the problem, or discouragement, or disillusionment or whatever. Your focused, committed effort will get you to the other side. Engage the ability you have to work through. And nothing will be able to stop you.

Put some adventure in this day. Put some richness and meaning in this day.  Put some love, compassion, tolerance and understanding in this day. Put some action and achievement in this day.  Today is what you make it, so make it full and valuable. The day you experience will be the sum of your choices, so make those choices meaningful and beneficial.  Imagine that this day is a shopping basket which you can fill with things that express and fulfill your dreams and values. Then use the opportunity that’s right in front of you to load up your basket with richness and goodness.  Put some creativity and joy in this day. Put the very best of yourself into every moment.  This is your chance to make today a day that you’ll always look back upon and treasure. Seize the opportunity of this day to put a whole lot of good stuff into your world. 

There are many people in this world who would dearly love to have what you have.
