It's okay that you've wasted some time. It's not okay to continue doing so.
There's nothing wrong with the fact that you've made some mistakes. Now, take what you've learned from those mistakes and use it to make some progress.
Quickly and fully forgive yourself for any shortcomings in the past. Then diligently get to work creating a bright and valuable future, starting where you are right now.
Don't allow the past to imprison you or discourage you. Instead, let the opportunities of the present inspire you to take solid, effective action.
Life is now, so be here now and give your focus to what you can do with now. Life is now, so live it now without being weighed down by what has already come and gone.
Be truly thankful for what has brought you here, whatever it may have been. Then let the past go and let yourself soar into a magnificent, fulfilling future.

Stop stopping
Stop stopping yourself. Stop holding yourself back.
Stop giving power to your limitations. Instead, give commitment, action and persistence to your best possibilities.
Fear and anxiety are immensely compelling, yet you are even stronger. The inertia of complacency is powerful, and yet you can overcome it.
Whatever may have been holding you back has done so with your cooperation. Choose now to no longer cooperate.
You have made the excuses and rationalizations, and you can now let them go. You have focused on the fear, and you can now move beyond it.
The challenges facing you are very real, but that doesn't mean you must add to them. Instead, use the positive power of your life to move successfully through them.

Live like it matters
If you've done poorly, you can now do better. If you've done well, you can now do even better than that.
Every moment is an opportunity for improvement. Every day is your chance to make good and meaningful use of your wealth of experience.
There is a beauty within you that longs to be expressed more fully and more richly than ever before. No matter what has already happened, that beauty is more compelling than ever, and now is when you can bring it to life.
Look out at the ocean, look up at the night sky, or listen to the sounds of nature during a walk through the woods. Feel your very real connection with all that is, and feel the immense positive possibilities for true fulfillment.
This is not a time to get caught up in trivialities. This is your moment to experience the wonder of existence in a magnificent and abundant universe.
Live like it matters, because it very much does matter. All of life is depending on you to live with everything you have, and now is your time to do so.

Live bigger
Most of the little things that annoy you are not worth the trouble you take to be annoyed. Choose to let them go, and live bigger.
You can replace the worry, frustration and drama in your life with peace, confidence and joy. Step back from the meaningless noise and chatter, and feel the magnificent depth of your purpose.
Real success is not a matter of mere popularity or possessions. Being truly rich comes from living with authentic purpose and meaning in every moment.
Don't waste your life struggling to do what everyone else seems to be doing. Live your life doing what matters most to you.
Live bigger than all the little trivial things that threaten to overwhelm you. Make a difference for yourself and others in ways that are uniquely yours.
You don't really win by winning the fight. You win by living above it.

Imagine and make it be
Imagine a life that is good, fruitful, joyous and fulfilling. Imagine your particular place in that life.
Imagine doing what you love to do, and making a real positive difference in many lives through your efforts. Imagine living precisely the way you choose to live, and in accordance with your most treasured values.
See yourself living without doubt or limitation. See a life in which fear is always overwhelmed by love.
Where you choose to go most often and most vividly in your imagination, is where you enable your real life to go. The person you most intensely and most passionately imagine yourself to be, is who you become.
You can imagine whatever you choose. And you can live the beautiful reality of whatever you imagine.
A magnificent life is already within you. Imagine it, truly see yourself living it, and make it be.

Thinking and knowing
Thinking is powerful. Knowing is even more so.
Thinking is a function of your mind. Knowing encompasses all you are.
What you think can change from moment to moment. What you know is always a part of you.
What you know goes beyond all doubt. What you know has the clear, powerful presence of truth.
Use your outstanding mind to think. Use your magnificent life to know.
Knowing comes from experience, guided by purpose, and from feeling the wonder of all existence. Know that you can do it, that you can be it, that you can experience it, and you will.

Live firsthand
Don't be content to merely gaze at images on a screen. Feel the rich, real and varied texture of life as you actively participate in it.
Look other people in the eye, not just through a camera. Engage in long and meaningful conversations, not just in abbreviated updates.
Live firsthand. Experience the fullness of what life feels like.
You are not just a concept or an identity. You are a beautiful and unique living embodiment of the miracle of existence.
Touch and hear and taste and see what's really there. Live all the magnificent details of the experience.
Get fully involved in the living of life in all its dimensions. Live firsthand, and experience it all yourself.
