Your treasure

Go beyond merely appreciating what you have. Live so as to treasure all you have, all you have access to, and all you can do.

Treasure it all to the point of actively looking for all the good you can accomplish. Assist and encourage everyone else to be open to similar levels of richness.

Expand your concept of that treasure beyond the material aspect. Remind yourself that the true nature of your treasure is embedded in every aspect of your life, your experience, your existence.

Even what first seems to be a burden can eventually be transformed into unique value. That transformation occurs through the miracle of living your life with authenticity, purpose, persistence, and love.

Make the choice to see today as a gift. That will enable and compel you to realize the great value in this time, this place, this situation, and the people around you.

Double down on your appreciation, give energy and action to your gratitude. From the all-encompassing abundance, bring forth great new treasures with the living of your life.
