Generous living

Allow yourself to be inspired, and you enable yourself to be inspiring. Open yourself to criticism, and you position yourself for improvement.

Permit yourself to be challenged, and you compel yourself to grow stronger. Discipline yourself to stay focused, and you reward yourself with great achievement.

The kind of face you present to the world determines the kind of world you see and experience. What you get is very closely connected to how you are, to how you act, and to the way you think and feel.

The outside world is a surprisingly accurate mirror of your inside substance. Your choices determine your realities, both in ways that are obvious and in ways you cannot possibly imagine.

It is impossible to deceive life, so there's no point in even trying to do so. Instead, put your energy and your effort into honest, authentic, generous living.

The goodness that flows out from you is constantly transformed into the good and valuable things that surround you. Let that goodness freely flow, and experience life at its best.

Take it all in

Nothing is inherently boring, and nothing is inherently fascinating. Whether or not something is interesting is a choice that's always yours to make.

Life can be filled with endless richness. Yet for it to be that way, you must choose to see it that way.

Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, take an interest. Be curious, be amazed, be in awe of the wondrous things that constantly surround you.

Remind yourself that life, in all its aspects, can truly be endlessly fascinating. From each and every circumstance, from each and every experience, there is a wealth of knowledge and wisdom to be gained.

Open yourself to the richness. Open yourself to the fascinating beauty that can be found in even the most ordinary things.

You are here, today, in this spectacular existence. Take an interest, take it all in, and make the endless richness yours.

Make your efforts matter

When the outcome doesn't matter to you, even the most flimsy excuse is enough to stop you. When it's not a priority for you, even the most trivial distraction will knock you off course.

Are the distractions and excuses holding you back? That's a good indication you're not committed to whatever it is you're doing.

Either you must find a way to be more committed or find a more meaningful endeavor. There's nothing to be gained by wasting your time and energy on a halfhearted attempt.

The best commitments are not the commitments you must force yourself to make. The most powerful commitments are the ones you enthusiastically embrace.

Challenge yourself to take a good, hard look at what you're doing. Challenge yourself to follow a purpose, a goal, a dream that is truly yours.

Your time is too valuable to be wasted on anything that doesn't really matter. Make sure your efforts matter, and you'll make them highly effective and immensely rewarding.

Within you

Within you there is peace. Know it, feel it, love it and let it grow.

Throughout you, there is love of life's beauty and goodness. Keep that love at the front of your awareness, letting it guide your thoughts, perceptions and choices.

Around you, there are possibilities. Life changes with every moment, so pick the possibilities that will enable those changes to uplift your world.

At the heart of you, is a unique and beautiful purpose. In your feelings, your interests, your preferences and passions, that purpose makes itself known, so you can follow it.

Surrounding you, is a universe overflowing with magnificent beauty. Let yourself be positively, joyfully and thankfully amazed at the endless wonder and possibilities.

Flowing through you, is the energy to live, to love, to make a difference and to experience unique fulfillment. Make good and purposeful use of that energy, and make this the most vibrantly rewarding day yet.

Enjoy life

By enjoying who you are, you bring out the best you can be. When you enjoy what you're doing, what you're doing will create great value.

When you find something to truly enjoy about where you are, you also find new and rewarding possibilities. By enjoying the moment you're in, you bring unique richness to your life.

It's not the situation itself that determines whether or not life is enjoyable. It's the way you choose to respond to the situation.

Enjoyment is not a certain, pre-defined set of circumstances. Enjoyment is a choice.

The more conditions you put on your enjoyment of life, the less time you'll spend experiencing enjoyment. Instead of weighing down your enjoyment with arbitrary conditions, set it free by making it unconditional.

Enjoy life, wherever you are and whatever you're doing, just because you can. Enjoy life as it is, and your enjoyment makes it better and better.

You don't have to

You don't have to prove anything to anybody. You don't have to live in fear of what others might think.

You don't have to continue holding on to the negative habits and thought patterns that have held you back. You don't have to keep living under the outdated assumptions that have closed your eyes to some of the best possibilities.

You don't have to weigh yourself down with anger, resentment, fear or frustration. You don't have to settle for less than the very best you can be.

You can live, you can give, you can love and achieve. You can take this very moment, with whatever it may hold, and transform it into a positive, enriching, fulfilling experience.

You can feel the truth and beauty of your authentic purpose, and take action to follow that purpose. You can let go of all the burdens you've imposed on yourself, and live this day with a powerful, newfound appreciation for all you have.

You can choose right now to meet each challenge with positive passion and enthusiasm for the best, most meaningful possibilities. You can choose, again and again, to truly live life on your own best terms.

Power in every choice

Whatever fills your awareness most intensely is what you will bring to life. Instead of filling your awareness with excuses, fill it with passion.

With your moments, your skills, your words and your actions you will change your world today. Choose to let that change be driven by what you love rather than by what you fear.

Focus on the good things, on the possibilities, and on those dreams and values that are your most authentic. Make yourself the living embodiment of the best you can imagine.

Your life is constantly shaped by the way you live it, the way you think of it and the way you feel it. Even the smallest things have an influence, and all those things combine together to build the life you experience.

Every day is an opportunity to more fully express the unique beauty of who you are. Every situation is one in which you can choose to give rich substance and meaning to your world.

Feel the power that exists in every choice, and in every moment. Use that power wisely and purposefully, and live life at its best.

Be thankfully resourceful

Being more resourceful is not a matter of having more resources. Being resourceful means that you're able to see, to appreciate and to make full use of whatever resources are available to you.

That's important to keep in mind when the troubles, frustrations and challenges leave you feeling overwhelmed. Instead of looking at those troubles with dismay, choose a perspective of real gratitude that will enable you to see the positive value in your situation.

Can you find a way to be thankful for your troubles? Yes, you can, and when you do you're in a powerful position to begin moving beyond them.

Sure, it may seem strange to be thankful for your difficulties. Yet it certainly beats the alternative, which is to let those difficulties get the best of you.

By challenging yourself to be thankful for whatever life has served up, you empower yourself. Your sincere appreciation opens your eyes to the most valuable possibilities.

To be resourceful, be appreciative. See the unique, accessible value of where you are, and position yourself to move positively forward toward wherever you wish to be.

Your richness

Life's richness is not something you must go out and acquire. It is something you have the good fortune to be able to express at any time.

You don't have to wait for, or hope for, or strive to create certain conditions. You can experience and enjoy life's richness wherever you are.

Look back, and see that the times you remember most fondly are the times you've given of yourself most generously. Open yourself now, and let life's richness flow out into the world around you.

In your deep and sincere appreciation for even the smallest of things, life's richness grows more vivid. Through the joys, the challenges, the efforts, the pleasures and even the pains, your life gains more beautiful and valuable substance.

Celebrate your good fortune by making good and meaningful use of the opportunity you now have to truly live. Each day is your opportunity to transform boundless abundance into splendid fulfillment.

Now is when your most beautiful possibilities can genuinely come to life. Feel the beauty and power of your good fortune, and let more and more of life's richness flow out in all you do.

Choose to do

In this moment, choose to do. On this day, choose to make real and meaningful progress.

It will take some time, effort and persistence. And in return, you'll earn yourself some lasting value.

It will challenge you, and frustrate you at times, and make you a little uncomfortable. Yet it will also bring you the satisfaction of a job well done.

You may not always get it perfect, but always you can give it your best. Choosing to work your way forward is not the easiest choice, yet it will ultimately prove to be the most valuable one.

If you're tempted to let the excuses of the moment hold you back, project your thoughts into the future. Imagine how silly those excuses will seem five years from now, and how thankful you'll be that you ignored them.

The opportunity of today is worthless unless you act on it. Act on it, choose to do, and you'll soon be enjoying the many rewards of your efforts.

Positive places

There is a lot of negativity in the world. Some of it is important and worth considering, but most of it is not.

As much as you can, focus your attention on life's positive, empowering and inspiring aspects. Don't completely ignore the negative factors, but don't allow them to dominate your awareness either.

Remind yourself to seek out and spend time in situations and endeavors where your efforts can bring positive value. Avoid wasting time fighting bitter fights that don't really matter anyway.

It can be easy to get distracted by the clashing noise of negativity. Usually, though, you have a better option.

When you have a choice, choose to put yourself in situations where you can move life forward. Be where you can be inspired, encouraged, enthusiastic and effective.

Live your moments in positive places, with positive people, doing things that make a positive difference. Your life is unique and precious, so choose as often as you can to live it in those positive places.

Achievement is built

Achievement is built on challenge. Achievement is built on setbacks and frustrations.

Achievement is built when conditions are difficult. Achievement is built when the direction of the economy is uncertain, and when there's no guarantee of success.

And achievement is indeed built, for it is not inevitable. Achievement happens because people choose to make it happen.

Achievement is built on meaningful intention, with devotion, persistent action and plain old hard work. Achievement is built on the desire to make a difference, and on the commitment to fulfill that desire no matter what.

Yes, of course there are obstacles, excuses, distractions, frustrations and disappointments that push back against achievement. Achievement is built anyway, and the world is a richer, more promising place because of it.

Achievement is built by giving the best of your focus and your efforts to each moment. And as you build it, achievement builds you.

The opportunity of now

It makes no difference what has just happened, or why, or how. Whatever else it may be, it is also an opportunity.

To see the opportunity, stop looking backward and begin looking forward. Let go of your resentment, your contentment, your anger and even your satisfaction.

Focus on what you can now do. Whatever your feelings may be, direct their power toward creating new and meaningful value.

Be ready and willing to challenge your assumptions. This is a new moment, with new realities, so don't obscure those valuable realities behind outdated assumptions.

As powerful and transformative as the past may have been, this is a new day with its own opportunities. It is now up to you to engage the best of those opportunities and to make the most of them.

You are in a powerful position because you can choose what to do next. Grab the opportunity of now, and move your whole world forward.

Greater authenticity

If you fall short of the goal, make another effort. If the efforts continue to fall short, find another strategy.

If the updated strategy doesn't work, reconnect with your essential purpose. In that purpose is a driving energy that will never fail you.

You cannot fail at living and expressing who you truly are. The only real failure is to hold that back.

If some particular endeavor fails to bring the desired results, it's probably because there's not enough of you in it. Failure can in fact be a powerful force that will push you and compel you toward greater authenticity.

If it's not working for you, it's not coming from the truth of who you are. To be more effective, be more honest, more authentic, more willing to follow your deepest desires.

Be who you are, say what you mean, and work on what's truly important to you. The more authentic you are, the more successful you'll be.

Feeling positive

Don't feel guilty about what you've failed to accomplish. Feel energized about what you now can achieve.

Stop feeling remorseful about the time you've wasted. Start feeling enthusiastic about the time that's now available to you.

When the setbacks come, you won't do yourself any favor by feeling sorry for yourself. What will help is to direct your feelings into being more determined than ever before.

There's nothing to be gained by feeling envious of what others have accomplished. Choose instead to feel inspired by their examples.

It doesn't help anyone for you to feel bad about those who are less fortunate than you. Instead, make meaningful use of your own good fortune so that it has a positive and powerful impact on many other lives.

For every reason to feel negative, there's an even better reason to feel positive. And from those positive feelings come positive and valuable results.

The choice is clear

There is no way around it. If you wish to live a rich and full life on your own terms, you must take responsibility for it all.

The choice is always clear. You can choose to be responsible for what you can control, or you will end up being dependent on what you cannot control.

Responsibility is not easy, yet it is certainly the most positive choice. For when you do the difficult work of responsibility, you earn the rich rewards of a life well lived.

Freedom, competence, excellence, effectiveness, independence, quality, wealth and fulfillment are all earned with responsibility. Take unequivocal responsibility, and you open yourself to unlimited opportunity.

Seeking pity, blaming others and looking for shortcuts will put you increasingly at the mercy of negative factors beyond your control. That's not what you want.

Instead, step up and take responsibility, in every moment, in every situation, for as much of your world as you can embrace. When it comes to your life, you're the person who can live it best.

Get purposeful

Even the most luxurious conditions can be nearly impossible to endure if there's no purpose toward which you are moving. Even the most painful, desperate conditions can be relatively easy to endure when there's an important, meaningful reason to do so.

Purpose makes all the difference. The crucial factor in any undertaking is not what you must do, but why you are doing it in the first place.

Yes, doing the work is absolutely necessary. And what will get the work done is a clear and unambiguous knowing of why you're doing it.

If you're having trouble focusing, don't merely strive to improve your focus. Work on solidly connecting with your authentic purpose.

Anything is possible, but what you seek is not just anything. What's possible for you is what's truly meaningful to you.

Knowing what you seek and why, is what will relentlessly drive you to reach it. Get clear, get honest, get purposeful, and you cannot help but get it done.

Live a moment of joy

Live a moment of joy, right here. Live a moment of genuine meaning and fulfillment, right now.

Let go of the assumption that you are striving to get something. Raise your awareness to the point where you can see that your fulfillment is already and always unfolding.

This day is filled with new opportunities for you to discover and express what it means to be alive. This situation gives you countless possibilities for exploring and experiencing what it means to be you.

Take a refreshing step back from the confining labels of frustration and limitation. See that whatever is, is an opportunity for rich fulfillment.

You are the awareness of all you love and value. You are the living embodiment of how it feels to experience fulfillment.

Smile from deep inside, and let the joy flow outward. This is a perfectly beautiful moment to live, so give life the best you have.

Imagine differently

The way you are is the way you believe you are. Change what you believe about you, and you change your life.

It's easy to assume that you'll always be stuck with how you are right now. Your present perspective is powerful because you feel it with your whole being.

But your habits are your habits only because you keep choosing to maintain them. The limitations you assume yourself to have, are yours only because you continue to believe, support and defend those assumptions.

You can imagine differently. You can imagine a more fulfilled, effective and purposeful you.

Instead of spending all your thoughts and energy on your problems and frustrations, give some power and feeling to your dreams. Rather than conjuring up excuses for why you can't live those dreams, visualize rich scenarios in which you are bringing them fully to life.

If you're not completely satisfied with how you are, imagine differently. Intensely feel the beauty and joy of what you imagine, and steadily bring it to life.

Worthy of all you imagine

You are worthy of all you can imagine. In fact, in a very real sense, all you can imagine is precisely who you are.

At first it can seem easy to blame all the forces outside of you for your fate. However, in the long run that turns into a very painful and difficult perspective.

It takes effort and strength to accept full responsibility for all you are. Yet when you do, you suddenly have the very real power to become whatever you choose to become.

You are worthy of the best, because you can define what that means and create it within your life. You are in control of your perspective, and with that control comes the power to experience life in whatever way you choose.

To truly live is to take full responsibility for living. To richly live is to exercise that responsibility with love in every moment.

Embrace the responsibility, and imagine what real joy looks like to you. Then, with the best of what you imagine leading the way, fully live that joy.

The secret is

There are lots of good, positive intentions, but not nearly as many positive results. What's the secret for transforming your best intentions into the reality of rock-solid results?

The secret is, there is no secret. The best technique is to forget about finding a technique, and to live each moment with your purposeful intention as your guide.

Whatever you truly desire will pull you steadily toward itself. Let the desire supply the direction, while letting yourself supply the passion, the energy and the effort.

Instead of fighting the complexity, work your way steadily through it. Rather than resenting the difficulty of the effort, see the pathway provided by that effort, leading reliably toward fulfillment.

The way to make achievement meaningful, the way to make it yours, is to live it moment by moment. Live and act not from a static recipe, but from the dynamic, ever-growing power of your authentic intention.

Feel who you know you can be, feel how you know life can be, and then put the way you feel into action. The way of success is not something outside you that you must discover, but rather the beautiful essence within you that you're able to share.

Simply be happy

If you want to be helpful, be happy. If you want to be successful, be happy.

Happiness is not the result of a life well lived. Happiness is the fuel for a life well lived.

If you won't let yourself be happy, you can't be happy. Yet when you simply allow happiness, nothing can keep it from you.

But isn't it naive to be happy when there are problems and tragedies, disappointments and obstacles throughout life? Actually, it is a sense of happiness and positive self worth that will push you successfully through even the most difficult challenges.

You don't have to justify your happiness, or explain it or be ashamed of it. Just let it be, and let its power create real, meaningful value in your world.

In fact, there's nothing you must be happy about. Simply be happy, and let your authentic joy lift your whole world higher.

Make it all better

Do you wish someone could make it all better? Then smile, and be that someone.

Would you like it if the problems suddenly went away? Then stand up, step forward, take responsibility, and begin to transform those problems into opportunities.

Do you long for a reason to be hopeful? Then consider what a truly unique and beautiful miracle you are, and find hope in more fully living and expressing your purpose.

In whatever you truly wish to have, you'll find reasons to be your very best. In your highest vision of how life can be, you'll find valuable and meaningful direction for how you can be.

The joy you wish to experience is already within you, waiting for you to share it. Instead of waiting and wishing for someone or something to make you happy, just go ahead and apply that happiness to whatever you're doing.

You have the power to make it all better because you have the power to experience life from any perspective you choose. Choose a positive, empowering perspective, because you deserve the best.

This minute

This minute is the most important one, because this minute is the one you can use. There is so much you can do in this minute if you'll simply allow the best possibilities to unfold.

Let go of the regrets and guilt and resentment you've carried with you from other times. See how foolish it is to be held back by fears about days that have not yet even arrived.

Think of all the good things that truly mean so much to you. Give your focus to those things, and make use of this minute, right now and right here, to expand on that goodness in your world.

Don't be concerned about what might or might not be, or what others might or might not think of you. Live instead from your authentic center, and make this minute one that adds value to your experience.

Though you may have good excuses for holding back, use this minute to move forward. Though the effort will not be easy, your life is worth the trouble.

This minute is filled with promise and possibility. Right now is when you can transform it into real and lasting value, so do.

Start right now

Don't wait until you're ready. Start now.

The circumstances will not be perfect and you won't get it perfect. Start now, however, and you will get it done.

You're not going to have everyone's assistance or approval. You can, however, get the jump on your success and get started right now.

Do you want to waste your time and energy on elaborate excuses or would you rather invest yourself in achievement? Get started now and get the achievement well underway.

You've already delayed long enough and there's no good reason to wait one moment more. The time for action is the time at hand.

You're standing squarely in the middle of your life's great and valuable opportunity. Start right now and make all that value yours.

Living passion

You haven't lost your passion. You've just become a little bit afraid of it.

Your passion burns just as brightly as ever, probably even more so. But you've become so logical and practical that you can barely even remember it.

Reason can be helpful and useful but it's not everything. Jump outside the limited restrictions of reason and feel the limitless energy of your passion.

Life is so very much more than you'll ever be able to comprehend. Stop trying to analyze it so completely and allow yourself to truly experience it more fully.

Really care about what you care about, and let it show in the way you are. Speak, act, intend and follow through from the heart, and put the beautiful substance of your passion into your world.

Fill every moment of this day with the living energy of your authentic, loving passion. And feel it unfolding into the very best day yet.
