For not only is there much you can do, you can learn and grow to do much more.
When the situation changes, you can adapt.
When a new problem arises, you can discover the fresh opportunities that come along with it.
You can call upon the wisdom inside you that grows more extensive with each new experience.
You can listen to your heart, where there is valuable truth that goes beyond what your mind can explain.
You can draw great strength from the connection you have with others.
You can align yourself with the beauty and goodness that reside firmly and persistently in every corner of life.
In the darkest darkness, you can shine a light.
In the most difficult circumstances, you can act to make a profound and positive difference.
You can know, you can understand, and you can live in the service
of a purpose that becomes more powerful and refined with each passing moment.
Choose to do what you can, and there is no limit to what you're able to achieve.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Be joyful, just because you can.
Spread genuine joy to others, just because it feels so grand.
Generously give of yourself just because it's your own special way to make a difference.
Smile, just because it is so easy and pleasant to do.
Follow your dreams just because they call so vividly and persistently to you.
Live your deepest purpose just because it feels so very right.
Always speak the truth just because you understand its far-reaching power.
Act with integrity just because it keeps you on the path to true fulfillment.
Offer a kind word just because it can have such a positive impact.
Lift up those around you just because you feel connected to all that is.
Life can be quite complex, but it doesn't have to be complicated.
Live each moment richly and fully, just because you are!

Your thoughts have great influence on your life.
So get them working in your favor.
Those things you've convinced yourself you cannot do, you will not do.
By the same token, whatever you're absolutely certain that you can accomplish, you will indeed accomplish.
Your thoughts directly and persistently control your actions.
And through your actions, you create much of the reality of your life.
Every achievement begins with a thought.
And every achievement is supported all along the way by a continuous flow of positive, empowering thoughts.
You won't make something happen just by thinking about it.
Yet the things you do cause to happen are those things upon which your thoughts are steadily focused.
Fill your mind with thoughts of positive purpose, joy, and meaningful achievement.
Let your thoughts lead the way to the life of your dreams.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Be kind to yourself.
The better you feel, the more value you can create for your world.
Learn from your mistakes, but don't hound yourself relentlessly with them.
Build for the future, but don't withhold from yourself the joys that you can live right now.
Delight in life's pleasures without sinking into meaningless excess.
Enjoy the beauty that surrounds you as it resonates with the beauty that is within you.
Find genuine satisfaction in productive, meaningful effort.
Give the best that you have, and discover the real, lasting treasures you receive from doing so.
Provide yourself with the energy, commitment and determination to do much.
And regularly give yourself some peaceful, relaxing time to do nothing.
Treat yourself with kindness, courtesy, respect and the highest of expectations.
For life is as good as you choose to make it.

In fact, they are so concerned about it they can't even enjoy what is right before them.
But there are other people who, when they think about their own death
and how little time they may have left, actually live more intentionally and more fully.
Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, a long-time student of death and dying, put it like this:
"It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth --
and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, we will then begin to live each day to the fullest,
as if it was the only one we had."
It's true; all of us have a limited time here on earth.
But we DO have today.
As for me, I just want to live today as fully as possible -- as if there were not going to be many more tomorrows.

There are no accidents...
If it's appeared on your life radar, This is why:
To teach you that dreams come true,
To reveal that you have the power to fix what's broken and heal what hurts,
To catapult you beyond seeing with just your physical senses,
And to lift the blindfold that have kept you from seeing that you're already the person you dreamed you'd become.
And believe me, the "grand power" that's already within you, really only needs to be tapped .
It's waiting to be put to use, any way you see fit!
How cool is that..... It's that simple, when we learn to focus and direct our thoughts. (include this study in your daily practice)
Oh yeah, don't be afraid to let your imagination run wild, since any thing is possible!

Happiness, dear friends, is what greases the wheels of life.
It's also what opens the floodgates, marshals the forces,
commands the elements, raises the sun, aligns the stars, beats your heart, heals what hurts,
turns the page, makes new friends, finds true love, calls the shots,
waves the wand, connects the dots, feeds your mind,
frees your soul, rocks the world, and pays compound interest.
Yeah, so simple it's easy to forget..!
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Don't be afraid.
You needn't slay the beast, nor scale the entire mountain.
That's not how it's done.
You only need to move through today.
Think of the distance you've already covered.
Focus on your strengths. Let each new step remind you of your freedom.
Let every breath you take remind you of your power.
Seek out friends and guides; they're anxious to help.
You're not alone.
You're understood.
This road has been walked before.
Dance life's dance, just a few steps at a time,
and don’t let any dust settle on any moving parts.
