Choose to

Choose to hope and there will be hope. Choose to love and there will be love.

Seek out and appreciate life's beauty, and you will find it in abundance. Decide to be joyful, and you will experience joy.

There is much in this world that is out of your control. And yet, you can precisely control how you feel about it and what you do with it.

There may be many good things you do that no one else appreciates or even notices. And yet, you will know, and you will benefit from creating new goodness in the world.

Welcome what is, welcome what comes, and choose to put some of your own positive energy into it. The more energetic you are, the more energy you will create.

Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, whatever you have, whomever you're with, you have a choice. Choose in your own way to live richly in every moment.
