Today, life will give you the opportunity to be honest. Take that opportunity, and keep yourself aligned with the power of truth.
Today, life will give you the opportunity to be compassionate. Take that opportunity, and feel the priceless satisfaction that comes from making a difference in the lives of others.
Today, life will give you the opportunity to act with discipline and focus. Take that opportunity, and enjoy the fruits of being highly effective in whatever you do.
Your life today will give you the opportunity to learn, to achieve, to enjoy, to reflect, to share, to listen, to understand and to love. Embrace each opportunity that comes your way with gratitude, enthusiasm and a sense of positive purpose.
On this day, life will give you the opportunity to be your best, to live and to act true to the unique and beautiful person you know you are. Take that opportunity, and run with it.
If you've been wishing and waiting for a perfect opportunity, it is here and now. This day will be what you make of it, and there's no opportunity better than that.

Let your enthusiasm show
When you're enthusiastic about something, you can often appear foolish and naive. Be enthusiastic anyway.
Sometimes your enthusiasm will be misdirected, but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with enthusiasm itself. Just make the correction, and let yourself be even more enthusiastic.
Enthusiasm keeps you young, vibrant and involved in life. Enthusiasm allows the immense power of your authentic self to flow freely into the world around you.
Enthusiasm makes you interesting and causes people to want to be around you. Enthusiasm is contagious and can be used to create wonderful, positive things in life.
Don't let yourself be embarrassed to be enthusiastic about the things that matter to you. It's a fantastic thing to live a life of positive purpose, and to be highly enthusiastic about doing so.
So go ahead and let yourself be wonderfully, refreshingly enthusiastic about this day, this place, and this opportunity to make the most of it all. Let your enthusiasm show, and you will show all the world how great life can be.

Immersed in the wonder
At this very moment you are immersed in the wonder that is life. Feel the power, feel the possibilities, and live this day worthy of the greatness to which you are connected.
In even the smallest, most ordinary things there is amazing beauty and immense potential for joy. If you are bored or uninspired, you're simply not paying attention.
Take a moment to take a deep breath, to take it all in, and to marvel at your exceedingly good fortune. Remind yourself that you are rich beyond all conceivable measure.
If you happen to feel burdened by some particular situation or limitation, take a step back and reconsider. Whatever may be troubling you is small compared to the nearly limitless options you have for doing something about it.
Though there are many problems, there are always many more positive possibilities. To transform those possibilities into positive reality, it's up to you to take purposeful, focused action.
In this moment, feel the immensity of life's wonder. And find delight in making positive use of it.

Powerful advantage
By complaining about your troubles you make those troubles bigger. By being thankful for your blessings you make those blessings more prominent in your life.
If you dwell on how difficult and complicated some particular task is, you make it even more difficult for yourself. It is by being thankful and enthusiastic that you get it done more effectively.
Your thoughts give great power to what they're focused upon. So choose to focus those thoughts on whatever you wish to make more influential in your life.
Your thoughts create the perspective from which you experience and interact with life. It is always in your best interest to make that a positive, empowering perspective.
Your thoughts won't change the external factors in your world. However, your thoughts will most certainly affect what you can accomplish with those external realities.
Choose those thoughts that will frame this day in a positive, purposeful perspective. Your thoughts are yours to control, so make good use of them to give your actions and your life a powerful advantage.

Make new joy
It is great to treasure the joys of the past. When you do so, those joys will always be with you, bringing new pleasure each time you think of them.
But don't get so dependent on past joys that you neglect to make new ones. Instead, allow the joys you've previously experienced to inspire you to make even more.
Circumstances have surely changed, and you'll never again have the exact same joyful experiences you had before. However, you most certainly can create new, original joyful memories to treasure.
Be thankful about all the great times you've known. And be willing to make more great times with this day, with this moment, wherever you may be.
Don't limit the possibilities for joy by assuming that the new joys must be just like the previous ones. Continue to open yourself to new, creative options for adding richness and fulfillment to life.
There are plenty of ways, right here and right now, to bring fresh joy to life. Treasure the joys of the past, and make some new ones today.

Every new moment
Time will pass no matter what. Give yourself something to show for it.
Give yourself some adventure, some achievement, some fellowship, learning, exhilaration, and other great moments of experience. Give yourself the benefit of working with discipline and focus to tackle a meaningful challenge.
Time moves forward, so get yourself moving forward with it. Make this day uniquely fulfilling, and then create even more fulfillment tomorrow.
You cannot go back and reclaim the hours, days and years that have already passed. Yet you can work to make the very most of every new moment that arrives.
Make time your friend by filling it with positive purpose as it arrives. Make time work for you by doing your best work with the time you have.
Time is filled with great promise and possibility. Claim all that value with purposeful, focused effort and lift your world higher as each moment passes.

See something beautiful
There's something beautiful about the moment you're in. Find the beauty, feel the beauty, enjoy it, appreciate it, and let it expand.
There's something beautiful about the place where you are. See that beauty, delight in it, and let its positive power encompass you.
In any situation, you can choose to see the beauty in life. When you do, you become more loving, more peaceful, more effective, and more fulfilled.
In seeing life's beauty you are able to recognize life's best possibilities. Appreciate the beauty, and you gain access to the abundance in which you are immersed.
Instead of reacting with anger, despair or frustration, choose to be amazed by the beauty that is always there. Something about every situation is beautiful, and you gain valuable insight by aligning yourself with it.
In what you do, in where you go, there is beauty. Choose to see and to live that beauty, and make your life truly rich.
