Guiding purpose

Guiding purpose
+++++++++++++++++++

When you have a reason, you have a way. So find the reason, the purpose within, the objective that pushes you into relentless action.

Open yourself up and admit what you care about, what drives you, excites you, compels you. Ramp up your energy and activate your courage.

Don’t just sit there and cast empty judgments on all you see from a purely conceptual and dispassionate perspective. Embrace the glorious fact that you’re thoroughly entangled in this thing that is life, and maximize your involvement.

You’re highly evolved and superbly equipped to solve problems, to achieve objectives, to create, to delight, to fill the world with new value and beauty. Zero in on the specific pursuits that ignite your passion, and feel the satisfaction of giving your best to them.

With a strong, meaningful guiding purpose, you create a solid structure that provides support for every endeavor. It serves as a bulwark against disruptions, disappointments, doubts, and deceptions.

Spend your moments in the service of what matters. Let the energy of your purpose bring a continuing stream of goodness and value to your world.

The Richness of who you are

Richness of who you are
+++++++++++++++++++

You don’t have to know every answer. You don’t have to witness every spectacle.

You have no need to acquire every possession. There is negligible value in experiencing every possible sensation.

Joy is found not in quantity but in quality. Fulfillment comes as a result of discernment rather than unbounded accumulation.

You have to allow many things to pass you by. That gives you the time, the space, the focus to invest yourself in what you care most about.

Yes, you are always missing out on something. That’s precisely what enables you to attend so well to all that truly matters.

Let go of any anxiety or jealousy surrounding what you might be missing. Instead of trying in vain to grab all you can, live the richness of who you are.

Fresh Possibilities

Fresh possibilities
+++++++++++++++++++

No matter how many years you have passed through, you’ll find fresh possibilities in each new day. Today is no exception.

The burdens may be heavy, the challenges great. Yet opportunities abound to live with purpose and fulfillment.

Look beyond the concerns and limitations of the moment. Align your thoughts and actions with the goodness that can be.

You always have potential that’s not been fully realized. There are plenty of good things you can do that have not yet been done.

The stretch of time you’re just now entering is one you can fill with meaningful purpose and lasting value. Draw energy from the realm of possibilities as you move forward.

Feel the sense of excitement as you activate your abilities with intention and focus. Now is time to live at your highest level.

Choose good thoughts

Choose good thoughts
+++++++++++++++++++

If you’re frustrated, worried, or annoyed, it’s because you’ve decided to be. And the moment you remind yourself of it, you can decide differently.

You have ample reasons to think negative thoughts. You also have the ability to replace those thoughts with more empowering ones.

It’s valuable to notice and acknowledge life’s difficulties, to be realistic about them. That enables you to make meaningful improvements and helps you avoid trouble.

But there’s negligible value in obsessing over negative factors you can’t do anything about. Instead, point your powerful thoughts in a direction where they can do some good.

All through the day, every day, you can decide exactly which thoughts will fill your mind. Select the ones that lead you toward achievement, fulfillment, kindness, and understanding.

Think of positive purpose, confidence, excellence, patience, beauty, and determination. Choose good thoughts, and follow where they lead.
