Be fully alive

This is a great day to be alive. So use this day to be one hundred percent, completely, fully alive.

Don't settle from less than the best from yourself. In every moment of this day, you can choose to live with purpose, passion, richness and joy.

Take a moment to count your blessings, and then get busy making those blessings count. Just by virtue of being you, there is so much you have and so much good you can do.

Sure, there are plenty of perfectly valid reasons to be negative. But that doesn't mean you have to embrace those reasons.

Choose instead to be positively inspired by everything you see and hear and experience. Let that inspiration push you gently and joyfully forward as you find ways to make a difference for your world, yourself, and the people around you.

Life on this day is a priceless gift, so enthusiastically open the gift and jump all the way into it. Make the most of the opportunity you have to create great, meaningful value.
