What you know you must It doesn’t really matter what other people say or think about you. Go ahead and do what you know is best. The disappointments of the past are no big deal, and your fears of the future exist only in your imagination. Step forward and do what you know you must do. The excuses are so tired and worn out that they’ve become meaningless. Let them go, and let yourself take effective, productive, meaningful action. Your dreams are calling you forward. Your highest vision of what life can be is yours precisely because you are the person who can bring it about. When there’s a rich and shining dream on the inside, and you’re making your way toward it, life feels great. Even the pains and disappointments cannot bring you down, because you know they’re mere waypoints on the journey to the fulfillment you seek. This moment right now is your opportunity to do what you know you must. This moment right now is the next step on the path to your most treasured dream.

Cheerfully do

Don’t be resentful of your responsibilities. Instead, be thankful for your abilities.
Don’t feel burdened by your obligations. Instead, feel the freedom and possibilities in the opportunities you have to make a difference.

Life can often be serious, complicated and demanding. It’s not all fun and games.
Yet every day, no matter what it holds, is a chance for real fulfillment. Every situation is a situation to which you can bring positive meaning and purpose.

If you get hung up on fighting against what you have to do, you can miss out on some of the most valuable and enriching things you’re able to do. If you waste a lot of energy on resentment, you have that much less energy available to create achievement.

Cheerfully do what there is for you to do, then step up and do even more. Life is yours to be lived, so give your life the richness you deserve.

Not to envy Why waste your time and energy, and poison your attitude, by being envious? Instead of being envious, be inspired. Not only is it impossible for you to live someone else’s life, even if you could do it you wouldn’t really like it. What you can do is joyfully live your own life, informed and instructed by the joy you see in others. Your greatest fulfillment comes from being you. If someone else’s life looks appealing, the most realistic and effective response is to emulate, not to envy. Envy is centered in an overwhelming sense of lack and limitation. So if you envy, you push away the very things you desire. A much more powerful and positive response is to be sincerely thankful for the good fortune of others. When you do that, you’re able to benefit from that good fortune too. Stop creating envy. And start allowing your very own version of life’s great abundance.

The best there can be

It is by giving of yourself that you fully understand and appreciate how very much you have available to give. It is by making a small difference, again and again, that you realize what an enormous difference you can make.

Do you ever feel like hunkering down and hiding from life because it has been so cruel and difficult? In fact, your best choice is the complete opposite.

If life has disappointed you, it’s because you haven’t opened yourself fully to its wonder and richness. When life is pushing hard against you, it’s because you’ve been holding back.

The external disappointments are possible only because there is beautiful and worthwhile and meaningful internal value. Let that value freely flow out from you, and delight in the experience as it colors your world in a more positive light.

Life’s goodness is made possible by your vision of that goodness. Your dreams are made real by your commitment to them.
Give the best that you have. And you’ll experience the best there can be. 

Your starting point

You are where you are. Accept it and feel the power your acceptance gives you to move forward.
This moment is as it is. Accept its uniqueness and experience the freedom of not having to fight against it.
There are difficult challenges in your life. Accept them and feel the energy that will enable you to rise above them.
Accept that this is your starting point. Instead of placing judgments on it, see the real, positive value that’s already yours.

You cannot change where your past priorities and choices have brought you. Yet you can make use of the wisdom you’ve earned from it all to create a future that fulfills your most treasured dreams.

Lovingly and gratefully accept who you’ve been, what you’ve done, what you have and where you are. For you can now transform it all into what you most wish to be.

Achieve today

Achievement is not complicated, and it is easily within your reach. Achievement is as close as your next action.
You are made to make a difference, and you have a constant desire to make a difference. So instead of sulking, instead of complaining, instead of filling your thoughts with empty wishes, fill your time with purposeful effort and make that difference.

Now is when achievement can happen, yet it doesn’t just happen on its own. Take the first little step, feel how good and right it feels, and suddenly you’re making it happen.

There’s nothing to be gained by waiting for the perfect time or the perfect conditions. Now is the perfect time because it is the time you have.

You can transform today into meaningful achievement, or you can transform it into painful regret. Make the effort to make the achievement happen, and you’ll thank yourself over and over again.

Achieve today, because you can and because it will lift your whole world higher. Achieve today, and experience life at its best.
