The way it is
+++++++++++++++++++

Let this day be the way it is. Let your life, your challenges, your hopes, dreams and frustrations be the way they are.

Let everything that is, be just the way it is. Then let yourself discover the good things you can do with it all.

You cannot successfully deny reality. What you can do, though, is acknowledge and greatly improve upon it.

Wishing for things to be different than they are is an empty wish. Working to make things the best they can be is a much more beneficial use of your time and energy.

Avoid wasting even a few moments of your life on anger, blame, or regret. Rise to a higher level, acknowledge the truth of what is, and make good come from it.

Let go of your need to control what is beyond you and embrace your power to control what is within you. Let life be just as it is, and let yourself do great things with it all.

Something you can love
+++++++++++++++++++

There is something you can love about right now. Do you see it, can you feel it?

Somewhere within this moment is unique beauty. Somehow within this situation is positive potential.

Encourage yourself to resonate with the goodness that already exists. Challenge yourself to envision and create the value that can be.

Go beyond the obvious and look with eyes enlightened by love. Discover how very much there is to love, to care for, to build upon right here and right now.

Colors, sounds, feelings, motions and ideas swirl through your awareness. Connect them all together and give them a positive, useful direction with love.

This is the moment you have, this is the moment you are living. To find the very best in it give your very best to it, with love leading the way.

Connect imagination to reality
+++++++++++++++++++

You are the link between imagination and material reality. Think of the power that exists in such a situation.

You can imagine walking through a forest. Then you can take the physical actions and make the arrangements that cause that to happen.

If whatever you imagine seems unrealistic, that’s because it is. And yet that’s precisely the definition of the magical opportunity you have.

By your very actions you can transform what’s unrealistic into what actually happens. You can deliver the best of what you imagine into undeniable physical existence and experience.

Imagination by itself won’t cause anything to happen. Yet when your imagination inspires you to work with persistence and positive purpose, you bring all kinds of great things to life.

Honor, appreciate, and make frequent use of your ability to connect imagination to reality. Imagine new goodness for life, again and again, and bring it into being.

Patience multiplies your efforts
+++++++++++++++++++

You’re eager to get it now, finish it now, know it now. Yet there’s a very good chance you could benefit from a little patience.

It’s great you’re so enthusiastic, and have such a powerful sense of urgency. Just remember though, that good things can take time.

Give the good things in your life the time they deserve. Allow for the time that will make those good things far better than anything you could achieve in an instant.

Take a breath, slow your racing mind and hyped-up expectations. Savor what you’re doing, sink peacefully into the moment that is, and avoid speeding ahead too fast.

Don’t compromise the quality of your entire future just to get what you want right now. Give the goodness you seek the time it needs to be the best it can be.

Patience multiplies your efforts far beyond what they could otherwise achieve. Give yourself, and your patience, plenty of time and space to bring new richness to life.
