Don’t wait until you feel better to take action. Take action, and you will feel better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t put off living your life until everything in the world is perfect. Go ahead, live fully in this moment, and give ongoing expression to your highest vision of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There always have been and always will be plenty of reasons for discouragement. And just as people have done for thousands of years, you can move forward anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even in the most serious of times, you can laugh, you can enjoy, and you can spread joy to others. That’s not a denial of reality but rather an improvement of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoiding your options will not improve or expand those options. Instead, take an active role in your own encouragement, enthusiasm, and sense of positive purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go forward with your life, no matter what may be standing in the way. You have the fortitude to act, to live well, if only you will use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
