You are an important, indispensable part of life on this day. Yet that is no reason to be arrogant.
You have a vital job to do. Yet that doesn't mean you must be stuffy and overly serious.
You do things best when you do them joyfully. Lighten up, have fun, and spread true joy everywhere you go.
Be mature and responsible, but don't be dull and brooding about it. Be purposeful and determined, but don't be uptight about it.
Demonstrate your determination not with a rigid scowl on your face, but with joyous achievement. Life is an amazingly grand adventure, so allow yourself to experience and express delight in every moment.
See yourself as happily dancing through the moments of this day, and nothing will be able to bring you down. Live lightly, live joyously, and live well.

Essential to life
You are not too old or too tired or too broke or too disadvantaged. You are uniquely qualified to add substance to life.
Don't get caught up in making judgments about what is fair or unfair or easy or difficult. Just get on with the satisfying and fulfilling business of making a real positive difference in the world.
You've done it many times before and you know you can do it many more times again. You know how great it makes you feel to know you truly matter.
So get busy, get some good stuff done, and feel that great feeling again and again. Forget about the silly excuses and focus on the significant difference you can make.
There are lots of great people in this world. Yet there is no one who can do a better job of being you than you.
Life is great, and you are essential to that greatness. Do your part, in your own special way, and feel how truly great it is.

Let it all motivate you
The way to be highly motivated is not to go out and look for things to motivate you. The way to be highly motivated is to let everything motivate you.
Be motivated by the defeats as well as the victories. Be motivated by the challenges and difficulties just as much as you're motivated by the positive possibilities.
When you hear encouraging news, be motivated. When someone gives you discouraging news, be just as motivated.
Your level of motivation does not depend on what happens. It depends on the way you choose to respond.
Choose to respond with a sense of positive and meaningful motivation. No matter what happens or fails to happen, let it motivate you to reach higher and to create new value.
You cannot know everything that will fill this day, yet you can choose right now what to do with it. Let it all motivate you to make the efforts that will make it all even better.

Harvest the richness
Even when it seems that life is not good to you, be good to life. Even when there is no reason to be positive, live with a positive outlook.
The best things in life do not come from reacting to what has already happened. The best things in life come from choosing to make new and positive and valuable things happen.
Decide not to be a slave to the way others live their lives. Instead of following the crowd, follow your own highest vision.
Choose not to be limited by your history or your circumstances. Choose instead to find the positive possibilities in this day, and to act on them.
There are all sorts of perfectly understandable reasons to be disappointed with life, but there is never any necessity to be. You can always choose to be positive, enthusiastic, empowered and effective.
Live each moment from a perspective of positive, loving purpose. Your life is, right now, your great opportunity, so harvest its outstanding richness in every moment.

Sincerely love
Let go of the need to desire what the world says you should desire. Let yourself truly enjoy being who you are and living richly in the moment you're in.
Worldly fame and fortune are mere artifacts of the things that really matter. Choose to love what you sincerely love, without the unnecessary pressure of having to impress anyone.
You don't need permission, or certain specific circumstances, to be beautiful. You already are uniquely beautiful and worthy of a magnificent life.
Go ahead and live that life now, right where you are, with what you have, doing whatever you're doing. Instead of placing arbitrary judgments on your situation, give your own profound love and meaning to it.
There is no limit to the joy you can create and the fulfillment you can experience on this very day. Everywhere you'll discover beauty to be found and opportunities for living with true richness.
Stop fretting about what everyone else might do or say or think. Give your energy to all that you sincerely love, and live the great, wonderful fortune that is already within you.

Positive alternatives
The more you focus on any possibility, the more power and substance you give to it. It is by giving your persistent attention and energy to the possibilities that you make them real.
The same dynamic works for both the desirable and the undesirable possibilities. Whether you strongly fear or strongly desire, the power of your unrelenting attention will work to create whatever you focus upon.
Choose, then, to make your focus a positive one. Instead of living in fear of the bad stuff, live with a persistent desire and appreciation for the good stuff.
Be sincerely thankful for the goodness you already have, and your gratitude will create even more. Imagine in detail how your world can be a better place, and your time and energy will go toward making it so.
Not only does fear itself bring you down, it also enables you to bring yourself down. Avoid all that not by avoiding your fears, but by turning your attention to their positive alternatives.
Your attention has great power. Remember always to focus that power in a desirable direction.
