Potential for goodness

This beautiful moment is here, ready for you to see it, to live it. Act to effectively deal with the troubles and complexities, but don’t let them become who you are.

You exist in harmony with the best of what is. Focus your energy toward beauty, creativity, achievement, and love.

There will always be plenty of serious causes for concern and response in your life and your world. Though they affect you, there’s no reason to ever let them define you.

Many of life’s outcomes will disappoint you, and often you will even disappoint yourself. Yet in that very disappointment you’ll find the desire and the seeds for improvement.

The deepest part of you knows that life always contains real goodness, and can always be made better. You instinctively understand your potential and your ability to bring new goodness into being.

Rather than giving in to any despair at what you must do, at whatever is going on, choose instead to remember who you are and what you do. You bring new goodness and meaning to life, and right now is a great time to do it.
