Joys that can now be

Joy never leaves you, but all too often you can forget it was ever there. Are there joys you once treasured, that have faded from your awareness?

Now is a good time to reconnect yourself to them. This is when you can let those joys add new inspiration and positive energy to your life.

The moment you remember a joy, you have it again. Though time and circumstance have changed, every joy you ever knew is a joy you can continue to feel.

Alongside each joy lives the potential for even more joy. You would do well to explore the extent of that potential.

Your heart is not bound by time or distance. And your heart is always eager to be immersed in joy.

Give in to that desire. Surrender yourself to joys you’ve already known and joys that can now be.

New energy

Observe the experience of who you are, without the need to understand or analyze. Allow your thoughts a peaceful pause.

Appreciate all that is, as it is. Now, isn’t that better?

Feel for the sake of feeling. Notice the gentle abiding strength of your own being.

Set your spirit free to sail beyond all that has ever threatened to confine it. Taste the joy of goodness that’s unhindered by any boundary or condition.

You are more than any limits can contain. Resonate with the essence in you that dwells in a realm where all is possible.

Bring some of those possibilities into the place where you are. With a fresh sense of purpose, give new energy to them, and to yourself as well.

Push worry aside

You lack good information about what’s going on, and you’re not sure what to do. In such a situation, it can seem like your only option is to worry endlessly.

But worry is not a useful strategy. You absolutely have plenty of good things you can be doing instead.

You don’t know exactly what’s going on, or what will happen. So here’s a helpful question to ask yourself.

If trouble is indeed coming your way, what condition, what position would you prefer to be in when it finds you? And what positive actions can you take right now to get yourself to that place?

Worry is mostly a waste of good, usable time and energy. Push worry aside, and envision yourself meeting difficulty with strength, purpose, and preparation.

Then, direct your energy into well-reasoned actions that can make a difference, now and in the future. Though no one knows what that future will be, your best option for getting there is with action and strength, not worry.

Greatly expanded view

You can change everything without changing a thing. Just choose to look at life from a higher perspective.

The way you see the situation shapes the way you respond to the situation. The way you respond determines how successful you are.

Possibilities are nearly limitless, yet you only have access to the ones you’re aware of. And your awareness is directly connected to your perspective.

It takes discipline and great effort to walk up the mountain. The reward you earn is a greatly expanded view.

Could you benefit from a better view, a more desirable set of options? Climb beyond the comfort of your current thoughts, feelings, and assumptions to a higher vantage.

Work to give yourself the benefit of a more expansive outlook on your world. Look at life from a higher perspective, and you’ll find plenty of great possibilities to see.

Positive force

You cannot always choose everything about your circumstances. Yet you can choose your state of mind no matter what the circumstances may be.

Can you focus your awareness on something positive, right now? Can you think of all the good things, and people, and experiences, and values, that you are thankful for?

You can’t control all the things that will happen to you today. Yet you can absolutely control the person you will be today.

Every factor on the outside, good or bad, can fill you with fresh determination to live with joy on the inside. Feel that determination, and let it push you positively forward.

The world and all its problems can bring you down if you let it. But you always have another choice.

Choose to be a positive force, for yourself, for those around you, for this time and place, for the world. It’s a choice you always have the good fortune to make, and one that will lift all of life higher.

Positive intention

Give to yourself the time, the space, the discipline, the faith to grow stronger. And you will.

Allow yourself to heal, to learn, to let go, to forgive, to live. Offer honesty and patience to every moment, every circumstance.

Notice the doubts, the fears, and then see that you can rise above them. That you can face the unknown with confidence and positive intention.

Remember that wherever you find yourself, you can always stay pointed toward where you want to go. And even if it’s just one small step at a time, you can always keep going that direction.

Use your time in a purposeful way, and time will always be on your side. Utilize the ever-changing nature of life as your constant opportunity to change for the better.

Give energy and awareness to your highest possibilities. Give love to every day.
