Enjoy

Enjoy the diligent, focused, challenging work, and enjoy the carefree, lighthearted, playful times. Enjoy the moments of quiet solitude as well as the times when you’re surrounded by the stimulating energy of the people in your life.

Enjoy giving love and being loved. Enjoy making a difference and enjoy the assistance and collaboration of others who make a difference in your life.

Enjoy the things you’re confident of as well as the things that are a mystery. Enjoy diving into life’s pleasures and enjoy working through life’s problems.

Enjoy the warm sun on your skin and enjoy the cold wind against your face. Enjoy being confident and enjoy being surprised.

The more of life you enjoy, and treasure, and appreciate, the more access you’ll have to life’s best possibilities. When you can find something to sincerely enjoy, you have found a pathway to great value and fulfillment.

Today is a unique, one-of-a-kind experience, filled with opportunities for all different kinds of richness. Step enthusiastically forward into whatever today offers, and enjoy.

Strong and compelling purpose

If you’re too easily distracted, don’t blame the distractions. Instead, consider how you could make your work more meaningful and compelling.

Rather than fighting against the distractions, overpower them. Seek to put things in your life and your work that are so interesting and captivating that the plain old ordinary distractions are left with no way to compete.

It’s much easier for the little, meaningless things to distract you if you’re subconsciously looking for things to distract you. The more you focus on what’s truly important in your life, the less you’ll be knocked off your task by distractions.

Imagine what you could focus on that would get you totally engaged and absorbed and immune to just about any kind of distraction. Imagine what things would be so thoroughly meaningful to you that it would be nearly impossible to pull you away from them.

You owe it to yourself to follow a strong and compelling purpose. You owe it to life to work toward the achievement of those things that mean the most to you.

Instead of letting yourself be too easily distracted, allow yourself to be filled with enthusiasm for following your authentic purpose. The more energy you give to what matters, the less you’ll be bothered by what doesn’t.

Just be

Relax your mind and calm your thoughts. Let go of the frustrations, anxieties, and judgments, and just be.

Just be, and feel the miracle of your own existence. Just be, and feel the spark of joy that’s deep within you.

Focus on that joy and allow it to grow ever more present in your awareness. Feel that joy and see it flowing out from you into all of life.

Let go of the need to struggle, and simply let yourself be. Let go of the urge to make things this way or that, and enjoy the beauty of the way things are.

There is certainly much you can do to make a positive difference in life. And you’ll do it far more effectively when you live and act with a peaceful spirit.

For this precious moment, just be, and feel the power of your own authentic purpose. Just be, and gain new energy with which to live and express that purpose.

Living with richness

Feel how good it is to live this day. Feel the possibilities that have now been born.

Realize the power you have to make a difference. Think of the value that you can now create.

There is no end to the love you can give. There is no limit to the joy you can share.

Your vision, your imagination and your intentions point the way forward. Your thoughts and actions can bring the fulfillment you seek.

Open yourself to the goodness and to the opportunities that are yours right now. There is much for which to be thankful, and there are countless ways to express and fulfill your purpose.

Get busy living this day with richness and your own special meaning. Feel the unique joy of this moment, and carry it ever forward.
