  Fresh possibilities

  You’ve already lived yesterday. Don’t live the exact same day again today.

  Many aspects of the past are comfortable and familiar, and you want to hold on to them. But holding on too tightly, too much, leaves room for nothing else.

  Today brings fresh possibilities. Explore some of them.

  Challenge yourself to add new substance, experience, and richness to your life today. Remind yourself that this is a unique day and you have the chance to live it in a unique way.

  That doesn’t mean abandoning the habits and rituals that sustain your good life. Maintain continuity of the goodness, and add something new to it today.

  Today is a unique opportunity. Live the opportunity thoroughly by filling this day with new and valuable experiences.

  Grandest of opportunities

  Live for the sake of living. Enjoy the day, not to advance some contrived agenda, but just because you can.

  Smile :-) for absolutely no reason. Realize how good it feels, and suddenly you have your reason.

  Direct your energy and awareness away from all the stuff the world says you should crave. Free yourself to give to life whatever resonates with true value deep within.

  Breathe freely, calmly with no tension, no restriction. Sense the power of life as it flows throughout you.

  Undertake every task with gratitude for the opportunity to be of service to life. Be humbled and energized by the realization that you are an essential part of this unique moment.

  Life is yours to live, to feel, to love, to give, to enjoy. You hold the grandest of opportunities, and it is now.

  Feel it

  Your feeling about the situation is not decided by the situation. It is decided by you.

  Anytime you choose, you can decide differently. You can decide to feel more empowered, more energetic, more positive.

  How would you like to feel on this day, about this day? Go ahead and feel that way.

  You don’t need any particular set of conditions to feel joyful, powerful, effective and purposeful. Simply make the choice to feel, and then live out the reality of your feeling.

  Whatever you seek to experience, feel it before you actually have it. Build on the feeling, translate it into action and into results.

  What feeling right now will push you to your highest level of performance? Go ahead, feel it, and make good things happen.

  I don't recall which Sage uttered this truth but I have remembered and chuckled over it for a number of years.

  "I have come to understand that while trying to make everyone happy is impossible, pissing everyone off is a piece of cake."

  Perhaps, unless you make up your mind not to let something bother you personally.  :-)

  Allow

  Allow your purpose to be clear and strong. Allow your mind to be peaceful, powerful and creative.

  Allow your efforts to be effective. Allow your words to be uplifting, comforting, kind and helpful.

  Allow this moment, this place, to be as it is. Allow yourself to visualize how you can build upon its goodness.

  Possibilities expand upon possibilities without limit. Allow those possibilities that resonate with your highest values.

  Allow love to guide your intentions. Allow your actions to proceed with confidence and focus.

  Allow abundance to flow into your life. Allow goodness to fill your world.

  Carry on

  You don’t have to let small annoyances grow into big anxieties. You don’t have to let small setbacks grow into a larger narrative of failure.

  What just happened or failed to happen does not have to burden you going forward. Instead of allowing disruptions to stop you, let them give you fresh energy for taking action.

  The world will throw obstacles and surprises in your path. Go ahead and live your intentions anyway.

  When life hits you hard, carry on. When you encounter injustice, unfairness, resistance, weariness, carry on.

  That is the best way forward because that is your own chosen way forward. It’s difficult at the time but in retrospect it is by far the easiest choice.

  This day is too beautiful, too full of possibility to let it be ruined by what you can’t control or by your past mistakes. Focus not on what has gone wrong, but on what can now go right, and on what you must do to make it so.
