Let in the possibilities
+++++++++++++++++++

When you can let go of the need for something, you are much
closer to attaining it. Move beyond the need, and you move
into the reality of whatever you desire.

By very definition, as long as you need it, you don’t have
it. More to the point, as long as you see yourself as
needing it, you’re not seeing yourself as having it.

Choose instead to see yourself as already living the reality
of whatever you wish to have in your life. Then, choose to
more fully implement and express that reality each day with
your thoughts, feelings, words and actions.

Realize that whatever you desire is already yours in many
important ways. Understand that you do not have to need it
because you can already begin to live it whenever you
choose.

To the extent that you feel need, you fill your mind with
thoughts of lack and limitation. A much more empowering
choice is to lovingly and gratefully accept each day as it
is, and to open yourself to the countless possibilities for
fulfilling your highest desires.

Let go of the needs and let in those possibilities. Let go
of the needs and let your life be filled with richness and
joy.

Do good
+++++++++++++++++++

The way to feel good is to do good. The way to feel
successful is to take the actions that bring about success.

You cannot truly feel what you do not truly live. Be honest
and authentic with yourself, with others, and with life,
because anything less is just cheating yourself.

Spend this day being a unique and enthusiastic expression of
life’s goodness. See how much of a positive difference you
can make, and experience what a genuine, positive feeling
you get from doing so.

Seek to add richness to the lives of others and be delighted
at how much richness it brings into your own life. Do
something good and useful just because it is the right thing
to do, and discover how right it feels.

Let go of the tiresome fight to gain advantage, and direct
your energy toward appreciating and creating goodness. Move
beyond the need to prove yourself and focus instead on
improving all of life.

Give more and more of your own unique goodness to those
around you, to the world, and to life. And feel the
outstanding richness as it grows increasingly abundant for
you.

Your awareness
+++++++++++++++++++

Life can wear you down, or life can lift you up. It all
depends on how you choose to see it and live it.

The primary component of weariness is not age or infirmity
or circumstance. It is attitude.

The main ingredient of enthusiasm is not youth or comfort or
good fortune. It is your attitude, based on your awareness.

What do you look for, think about, focus on and expect? That
is what you will experience.

Focus the bulk of your awareness not on transient
trivialities, but on what truly matters to you, to your
dreams, and to your values. Pay much less attention to the
fears and frustrations, and much more attention to the
positive possibilities and opportunities.

Sincerely see life as beautiful and fulfilling, and you will
make life beautiful and fulfilling. Your awareness has
awesome power, so use it wisely and lovingly.

Choosing your expectations
+++++++++++++++++++

If you’re convinced that the world is against you, then
you’ll find plenty of evidence to support your assumption.
If, on the other hand, you’re certain that you’ll encounter
support and assistance, you will.

When you look for excuses and reasons to complain, you’ll
surely find them in abundance. When you look for
possibilities, and goodness, love and kindness, you’ll find
no shortage of those things.

What you see in life is made up largely of what you’ve
already decided to look for. What you experience each day is
driven by what you expect the day to bring.

You can choose the quality of the life you live by choosing
your expectations. You can select the life you experience by
choosing the way you experience it.

Make life helpful and supportive by living in a helpful and
supportive way. Make life good by appreciating and adding to
the goodness.

What you expect at the deepest, most sincere and
unquestioned level, is what you get. So expect the very best
of life, and live to make it so.
