May the sun bring you new energy by day, may the moon softly restore you by night. – Apache Blessing
To be blessed we must first receive what we already have. What are we blessed with?
We are already blessed. Let’s be very clear about our good fortune, daily!

The value of life does not depend upon the place we occupy. It depends upon the way we occupy that place. – Thérèse of Lisieux
We focus mostly on our ‘place’ in life. I.e. what we’ve earned or achieved in life or in our jobs. In other words we underscore what we’ve done and what we’ve gathered along the way.
The ‘way’ we do our job, play our roles as a child, sibling, spouse or parent appears to be more important. The ‘way’ we show up as a human being, as a student, a worker and as a world citizen seems more crucial. Being must come first. Being must come from our core values and from our high ideals. Being must also come from our aspirations and hopes. Then what follows, the doing, will be of greater value! More here: BeZenDo Revisited!

The game of life is a game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us sooner or later with astounding accuracy. – Florence Scovel Shinn
An essential truth that we must grasp: We are creators. We create or co-create our present and future circumstances.
We must fully grasp our status as children of God. That’ll do at least two things for us:
1) We’ll be more certain of our place in this safe, beautiful and infinite Universe.
2) We’ll become better partners with Divinity.
Life truly is good, we have nothing to worry about, let’s rejoice!!

We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day. – Edith Lovejoy Pierce
Let’s throw off the assumptions that chain our lives. Let’s be born again! Resolve to think afresh and anew. We won’t accept limitations that others place upon us. We are creative and unique beings like no other in all time and space! We will claim our uniqueness, stamp life with our signature and relish our personal impact!
Each moment we breathe is like no other before it. Each day is new. We can’t let the failures of the past hold us back. We will start designing our future life, today, NOW!
Daily Affirmation: 2014 will be my best year yet!!
