Change for the better

Look at what is, and see more than what’s there. Envision what you can transform it into.

Whatever exists in one moment, will not be exactly the same in the next. Life’s relentless dynamic nature is something you can use to great benefit.

Things will change as the day progresses. What can you do to push those changes in a positive direction?

Don’t waste the moment arguing over what got you here. Invest your time in crafting the best possible path forward.

Every situation is a stage upon which transformation can occur. Every problem, success, encounter, disagreement, windfall and challenge provides an opportunity to improve life in some way.

Look at the beauty and power of what is here, and now, what is real, and present. Soon it will change, and this is your chance to help change it for the better.

Quiet joy

Ease into the fullness of now. All you know, all you feel, all you are, glides gently through the heart of your awareness.

Give to yourself, to all that is, a quiet and simple joy. Let its peaceful energy settle into the deepest part of you.

Taste the brilliance, listen to the stillness, see the harmony as your senses converge upon the wonder of existence. Transform the beauty that surrounds you into joy that fills you.

As all resistance melts away, you touch the pure energy of ineffable purpose. In the quiet, profound joy of now, you revitalize every corner of your being.

Look around. And see a thousand times more than you saw before.

Treasure the quiet joy within. Set it free to multiply and flow into a world of new possibilities.
