Life is not something separate or apart from you, as you once believed. There is a power, a life force, that moves, guides, directs, and inspires you. You are one with life, with life's energy. Do things that energize you, charge your soul. Soak up the sun. Soak up the color. Soak up the beautiful sounds. Immerse yourself in nature, in a world that refreshes, restores, and renews. Don't worry about the task or the day that looms ahead, the work and love and play, the problems and choices that are on the way. If you energize yourself, restore yourself, the power to take action will come naturally like water from a spring. Look around. What do you see that feels right to do? Which direction do you see as the right way to go? Trust the smallest glimmer. Give in to the urge, to guidance that's there. Do it once. Do it again.
You are in harmony. You have all the guidance, energy, ideas, creativity, power, and ability you need to do all you're meant to do. And you have the power to enjoy it.
Melody Beattie

Is it possible that Higher Power holds a vision for you that is bigger than your own? Ask God to help you embrace a vision that may be beyond your current understanding.

AA Thought of the Day / Self-pity is one of the most unhappy and consuming defects that we know. It is a bar to all spiritual progress and can cut off all effective communication with our fellows because of its inordinate demands forattention and sympathy. It is a maudlin form of martyrdom, which we canill afford. / As Bill Sees It, p. 238

Just as energy moves within us as the motive force and raw material for effective response to life's constant changing, so energy extends beyond the body in radiant fields that connect us to the world, or to specific others, and that vary in size, intensity, and feeling according to our ever-changing perceptions and intentions. For a strong and healthy individual and for most babies, the energy fields extend vigorously from the body, filling entire rooms and beyond, while providing vital links to the living world. The energy "boils over" and flows out into meaningful connection with our world. The larger and more vital our energy fields, the more energy-connected we feel, and the more empowered we become to meet life's challenges.

We often hear people talking about acts of kindness towards others. How about acts of kindness towards oneself? Let's begin this life-long romance by doing loving things for yourself -watch your favorite movie, have your favorite meal, go for a walk on the beach, indulge in a bubble bath-things that nourish and nurture! Hey, you're worth it!

The open and honest expression of gratitude for the presence of the ones closest to us now creates a rush within our breasts, a rush that will be shared by our friends, too. Joy is contagious. Joy is freeing. Joy brings into focus our distorted perceptions. Greeting life with joy alters every experience for us and for those we share it with.
Karen Casey

If people only knew the healing power of laughter and joy, many of our fine doctors would be out of business. Joy is one of nature's greatest medicines. Joy is always healthy. A pleasant state of mind tends to bring abnormal conditions back to normal.

The next step in human evolution is not inevitable, but for the first time in the history of our planet, it can be a conscious choice. Who is making that choice? You are. And who are you? Consciousness that has become conscious of itself.
Eckhart Tolle

"There is no waiting for something to happen, no point in the future to get to.
All you have ever longed for is here in this moment, right now."
