Life is as it is in this moment, and it’s powerful to be able to accept that. Yet just because you accept what is, here and now, doesn’t mean you must be resigned to letting it stay that way. Yes, you can accept even those things you don’t agree with or approve of. It is your acceptance of reality that positions you to change and to improve upon that reality. Accept the moment, and find great value in it. Accept the situation, whatever it may be, and enable yourself to move positively forward from it. It can be tempting to simply avoid or deny the truth. Eventually, though, you must accept and deal with the truth, and the sooner you choose to do so, the better. Visualization can be a powerful tool, yet merely pretending that something is true does not make it so. Visualize the way you desire for life to be, and accept that you must work to make it so. Accept and embrace the reality of what is. Then take it and make it the best it can be.

Amazing Day

You’re not here today to just get by. You’re here to be amazing. There are a lot of challenges and obstacles, yet there is no reason to be anything less than amazing. Feel the true passion that lives in you, and let the passion push you to do something amazing. Look around, and see how beautiful and filled with wonder the world is. You are part of an amazing universe, and can be just as amazing in your own unique way. Today is not just a couple dozen hours to struggle through. Today represents your opportunity to express your amazing nature in new ways. Focus your attention and energy on what you love and treasure most. In that love is the power to be authentically and uniquely amazing. This is a one-of-a-kind, amazing day. You’re here to make it even more so, so starting right now, do it.

Amazing

Life is amazing, so be amazed. Instead of acting like you’ve seen it all before, live as though you’re seeing it all for the first time. You are in fact experiencing this bright new moment for the very first time. So look carefully, lovingly, and with the highest of expectations. Take an interest in what you’re doing, in where you are, and in every part of life you touch. There is new treasure to be discovered everywhere, so find as much as you can. Let yourself be curious about whatever crosses your path. Let yourself be fascinated by what you see and what you learn. There is never any reason to be bored. Embrace a vision of life that is endlessly fascinating and truly amazing. Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, be amazed. And your life, along with your whole world, will indeed be amazing.

Live by intention,

Live by intention, not by reaction. Consciously choose your actions and they will be far more rewarding. Instead of being a slave to the negativity of others, be the master of your own positive and purposeful life. Decide precisely how you wish to live, and then focus your energy on following that course. Keep in mind that excuses make you a victim, so let go of any urge to create those excuses. Choosing to unconditionally take responsibility for your life is what will make life rich and full. Living intentionally and responsibly is difficult, inconvenient and won’t always make you the most popular person around. Ultimately, though, it is always the choice that creates the true, meaningful value you seek. Live fully in each moment, but don’t live just for the moment. Live so that your very best possibilities continue to unfold as time goes on. You know that there is great, unique value and goodness within you. Live each day with purposeful intention, and joyfully give that value and goodness to all of life.
