Live the richness
+++++++++++++++++++

Stop focusing your thoughts on wanting things, because whatever you want, by definition, you do not have. Instead, put your thoughts, your energy and your efforts into more fully manifesting and enjoying what you already do have, which is everything. When your thoughts are focused on want, those thoughts build a wall of separation between you and life’s immense abundance. As soon as you let go of the want, you begin to see, to feel and to make positive use of the very real connections between you and whatever you envision.Quit telling yourself you don’t have it, and begin realizing that you can already start to experience it. Look at your most treasured dream not as something you hope to achieve someday, but as something that is already unfolding right now as a result of your actions.

Don’t let your highest vision for life become a source of frustration by merely wanting it. Allow it to be a source of inspiration, power, effectiveness and fulfillment by
expressing it in whatever you do.

The path you are on today is connected to another path, which is connected to another path, and another. You have access to the whole of life’s abundance, and by walking the path, step by step, you experience the beautiful fullness of that abundance.Remove the conditions you’ve placed on life’s richness, and see that it is here for you today. Go ahead, live that richness, and create more and more fulfillment as each moment passes.

The positive possibilities
+++++++++++++++++++

Frustration comes from focusing on what you cannot control.
Achievement, on the other hand, comes from focusing on all
the useful and valuable things you can do.

Resentment comes from seeing yourself as a victim.
Effectiveness comes from stepping up and taking
responsibility.

If you constantly complain that life is unfair, you’ll blind
yourself to the best opportunities. Yet by simply accepting
that what’s done is done, you’ll find a way to make the most
of it.

Don’t waste your time arguing and fighting with life.
Instead, invest your time and resources in inspiring and
encouraging the best in yourself and in those around you.

There is good, positive, fulfilling value to be lived every
day, in any situation. Choose to be the person who shines a
light on that potential value and who brings that value
fully to life.

Let go of the frustration, resentment and despair by letting
the positive possibilities fill your awareness. Embrace and
enjoy the immense power that comes from taking full,
unconditional responsibility for all you are and all you
experience.
