Room to run Your standards are already high. Raise them higher. You have accomplished much. Utilize what you’ve accomplished in the service of greater accomplishments. Every creation comes from other creation and facilitates more creation. Whatever comes of this, something in turn comes of that. Your work is not finished. The joy that arises from being able to create has much more room to run. Eve...

Truth of who you are Your mind is too precious, your thoughts and values too hard won, to let them be stolen by trivialities. Yet that danger lurks every time you settle for mere pleasure or convenience when serious contemplation and effort are called for. Take care that you not lay to waste everything your discipline and focus have earned. It’s tragically easy to do when you select the easiest op...

Your many blessings How often do you stop to count your blessings? In your daily struggle for more, how often do you feel joyful and thankful for the many, many things you already have? In your ambitious quest to better your life, be careful that you don’t overlook the wealth that you already have. Wealth? Yes, wealth that is very real and very accessible to you. Did you know that you already have...

Enough time Set aside enough time, but not too much. Challenge yourself to get the job done in the time you’ve given yourself to do it. If you rush through while filled with anxiety about the time it’s taking, you won’t produce your best work. Yet when you have way more than the necessary time, you’re more likely to lose focus and to let self doubt creep in. Up to a point, the more time you spend...

Giving all you can Here is your opportunity for a day of richness and fulfillment. Seize the opportunity by giving the best of yourself.

Seek instead to engage your body, mind, and spirit in pursuits that genuinely challenge, enlighten, and inspire you. Pass right on by what is free and effortless and...

Your presence For yourself, for others, be there, be present. Of all the things you can offer, your presence is likely to matter the most. Whether it’s peaceful or hectic, desirable or not, be truthful about where you are. Express that truth with your attention, your acceptance, your presence. If you’re not sure what to say or do, just be you, authentic. Let the moment exist and let yourself be fu...

Act on inspiration Many treasures and experiences you must earn before you attain. Inspiration is the other way around. When something inspires you, in the moment of inspiration you become obligated to then earn that inspiration. You do so with inspired action. As powerful as inspiration is, it can also be debilitating if you seek to linger indefinitely in awe. Stop congratulating yourself on havi...

Feel the cool breeze on your face. Enjoy a good meal with those you love. Your time is precious. Spend as much of it as you can on what fulfills your deepest sense of living. Many activities masquerade as urgent that really don’t mat...

Your instincts Your instincts are not perfect. Yet they do have value, and deserve your attention. When you know, even though you’re not sure how or why you know, trust that you do indeed know. Not all truth can be distilled into facts and logic. If you can verify what your instincts are telling you, great. But even when you can’t verify them, respect the truth they’re sure to contain. Challenge y...

Good advice Many times you tell yourself what you must do, and then leave it at that. But what if you were to actually follow through on your own good advice? There are reasons why you’re telling yourself these things. You’re well positioned to know what’s best for you and what isn’t. So don’t be satisfied with just knowing what must be done. Give yourself the benefit of actually doing it. Sure, i...

Only who believes he is defeated is defeated. If you live in a negative world, it is your decision to make it positive... If you laugh the world will laugh with you, if you cry, only you will get your face wet. If one day SADNESS invites you, tell it that you already have a commitment to JOY and that you will be faithful to it all your life. He who takes risks loses nothing and he who DOES NOT ris...

Today society is sad. It is a sadness that we do not notice because sometimes it is not seen, but it is present in thoughts and emotions. The absence of future plans, the uncertainty and fatigue that we are experiencing in the face of the situation that we have had to live through. This means that we are losing our enthusiasm for things. We have lost celebrations, parties, trips, and we don't...

Affirm the moment Now is when you experience life. So experience it now with all you have, in depth, in every dimension. No moment is really ordinary. Because every moment is a unique experience in a unique environment with unique thoughts, feelings, people, and circumstances. Treasure the opportunity to see, to know, to taste, to feel, to connect, to act. Realize how much you can do with now, and...

Appreciating the limitations When the possibilities are unlimited, when you can do anything, too often you do nothing. You become so overwhelmed with all the choices that it seems impossible to choose. When some particular option is free and easy to access, it’s also easy to take for granted, no matter how valuable it may be. You can easily do it anytime, which means you can always do it later, an...

Own your time You can’t make more time in the day, the week, the year. What you can do is make your time more productive and fulfilling. That happens when you take greater ownership of your time. It happens when you take greater responsibility for what you do with the time available to you. Start by making a commitment to getting each day’s necessary tasks completed as early and effectively as pos...

Appearing foolish Don’t seek to appear foolish. But don’t be afraid of it either. Do whatever, in your best judgment, the moment calls for. Have the courage to speak the truth, to be enthusiastic, to ask what might seem like stupid questions. If you appear foolish because of the misguided judgments of others, let that be their problem, not yours. You’re perfectly able to prevent yourself from acti...

You’re in the flow, well-positioned to ride that flow all the way t...

Get involved The party has now begun. It’s your time to join the fun. The sun just came up on a new day. Plenty of good things are possible, many of them are starting to happen. It’s somewhat useful to speculate about what might be, or might have been. What’s much more valuable is to jump right in and get involved, right now. When you participate you’re sure to encounter awkward moments, inconveni...

Adventure motivates you to improve your existing skills and develop new ones. It heightens your awareness, deepens your gratitude and sense of purpose. Today does not have to be just another day. You have the choice, you have the power, to make it into a...

Let go of negativity Negativity is a burden you impose on yourself and others. How long do you wish to continue carrying it? Certainly troublesome, even tragic situations exist in your own vicinity and in the wider world. But you accomplish nothing of value by making them worse with your own negativity. Negativity is a fight against what is, a fight that’s lost as soon as it begins. Instead of bei...

Setting curiosity aside for a while to achieve better focus does not mean you’re renouncing your curiosity. You’re actually using focus to make good use of what your curiosity has presented to you. A simi...
