  Greet this day

  Lift up your eyes to the dawning of this day. You have great things to do.

  Stand up tall, straight, shoulders back, head held high. Feel the immense energy of your possibilities.

  Push yourself confidently out into that field of possibilities. Carry with you a strong, positive purpose.

  Watch the problems melt away as you work your way through them. Watch life become ever brighter as you give your best to it.

  Greet this day and every day with the highest of expectations. Commit yourself to make the most of the great opportunity you’ve received.

  This is the time, this is the place where life is yours to live. Fill it with the best you can imagine.

  The benefit of kindness

  Kindness may not be the easiest thing to do. Yet it is the right thing to do.

  When you’re not sure what choice to make, choose kindness. It is always a choice you can live with.

  Kindness requires no lengthy explanations or excuses. The value, the power, the authenticity of kindness are immediately self-evident.

  Yet true kindness is not ever done for show or for glory. Kindness is done to lift up and enhance the experience of life for everyone involved.

  Your kindness will not always be repaid. But that doesn’t matter because its value to you begins the moment you act.

  Genuine kindness connects you to others in a way nothing else can. At every opportunity, give yourself the benefit of that connection.

  Every experience

  Don’t get caught up in judging whether one experience is more interesting, beneficial, worthwhile than another. Every experience is part of the adventure.

  From every experience you gain insight, wisdom, and the strength to bring new goodness to life. Every experience gives you the opportunity to make a positive contribution to your own life and to others.

  You cannot possibly know all the ways that whatever you’re experiencing right now will benefit you and add value to your life in years to come. So live this moment with the full faith and confidence that it is worth all the attention, effort, and love you can give it.

  Look back, and you’ll understand that some of your most difficult times have resulted in your most useful strengths. Those past challenges, frustrations, and setbacks provided you with valuable raw material from which to build a full, rich life.

  How utterly boring a story would be if only good things ever happened in it. How shallow and empty your relationships would be if they had not been tested and deepened by difficult experiences.

  Get out there and immerse yourself completely in the experience that is right now. Know that you will find the good in it, and know that you will grow stronger from it.

  Allow yourself to be

  You are happy only when you allow yourself to be happy. You are happy always when you allow yourself to be happy.

  You learn, heal, achieve, and make progress by allowing yourself to do so. You experience peace by allowing peace into every corner of your awareness.

  The life you allow to unfold within you is the life you live. Let go of need, of striving, of envy, ego, and fear, and allow yourself to allow.

  You cannot fight your way to fulfillment, and chasing what you seek only pushes it away. Stop fighting, stop chasing, and allow.

  Allow yourself to be your highest vision of yourself, today. Allow life to be the best you know it can be, now, in this place, in this circumstance.

  Discard the conditional thinking that falsely imprisons your beautiful spirit. Allow, and live the magnificent truth of all you are.

  Authentic desire

  Admit to yourself what you really, truly desire. In the truth and authenticity of your desire exists more than enough energy to make it happen.

  Let go of the desires you’ve borrowed just because they are trendy or impressive. Let your heart point the way to what matters.

  When it is painful for you to not be following, supporting, committed to what you desire, you know that’s a genuine desire. Do the work, live the effort to zero in on those things you love so intensely you must give yourself to their fulfillment.

  Your time has incalculable value. To feel profoundly good about yourself, spend your time and energy on the outcomes, achievements, and purposes you love and desire.

  Remind yourself that the desire to matter, to make a difference in your own unique way, lives at your core. Seek out positive, beneficial ways to satisfy that desire in all you do.

  What will make things right with the world? What can you do to bring that vision to life?

  You can do it

  The road is long, the climb is steep. You can do it.

  Time is short, the demands are many. You can do it.

  No one else understands or appreciates all you must go through to get the work done. You can do it anyway, and do it very well.

  It’s lonely, frustrating, tedious, wearisome at times. Yet the more difficult the challenge, the more fulfillment you’ll experience by getting it done.

  You can do it, and what’s more, you really want to do it, and must do it. And deep inside, it means the world to you that you are.

  Feel the depth of challenge, the immensity of opportunity, and the great power of your own intention. You can do it, and you know it will be great.

  Transform disappointment

  Life will sometimes disappoint you. Embrace the disappointment, and transform it into inspiration.

  When you feel disappointment, it means you know things could have been, and can be, better. Take hold of that vision, and work on bringing it fully to life.

  Disappointment enables you to experience firsthand what you don’t want. Use that experience to develop new clarity about what you do want.

  No disappointment ever has to be permanent. Take what is positive, informative, and motivating in each disappointment, and leave the rest behind.

  Look for opportunities to channel disappointment into positive action. Though you can’t do anything about what has already happened, you can choose what you do with it.

  Feel the disappointment, then gather all the energy in that feeling and put it to good use. You’ll soon leave the disappointment far behind as you move forward to do great things.

  Figure it out and get it done

  There is a way to solve the problem, to get past the challenge, to reach the goal. Figure it out and get it done.

  You are creative, resourceful, imaginative, and energetic. Put all your best qualities to work, and persist until the work is done.

  On a daily basis for all your life you’ve accomplished what you’ve set your intention to accomplish. Decide what to do, commit to getting it done, and you will.

  Don’t sell yourself short. Rather than settling back with excuses, move forward with action.

  Take the first step, see what happens, and learn from it. With each effort you’ll become more effective, more focused, more invested, committed, and persistent.

  Discover how much you can do by doing as much as you can. Be amazed and delighted at what you can figure out, and at all the good things you will accomplish.

  Let life be life

  Let go of the need to be certain. Let in the spontaneous magic of each moment.

  Play with your food. Color outside the lines.

  Quit pretending to be all the things that make you pretentious. Delight in the discovery that comes when you admit you do not know.

  Embrace new possibilities that appear when plans go awry. Burst out laughing when everyone gets too serious.

  This is life you have, right now, right here. And if all the fabulous opportunities don’t make you giddy with excitement, you’re just not paying attention.

  Take it all in, move it all forward, and enjoy the experience in your own special way. Breathe, smile, relax, jump in, and let life be magnificent, unpredictable life.

  Give encouragement

  One of the best things you can give to anyone is encouragement. It costs you nothing, it’s no trouble, and you can make a big difference in another person’s life.

  Don’t be concerned about whether your encouragement is deserved or not. Encouragement, once given, seeks and creates its own justification.

  Encouragement offers challenge in a positive, supportive way. Every person you encounter carries hopes, burdens, struggles, dreams, and will benefit from your encouragement.

  Give genuine encouragement to others and it encourages you too. Encouragement connects you with your vision of the best life can be.

  Encouragement feels good to receive and great to give. It is a powerful and beneficial acknowledgment that we are all in this together.

  Instantly make your world a better place. Give encouragement at every opportunity.
