Success is not being done; not being complete. Success is still dreaming and feeling positive in the unfolding. – Abraham
What is success? How can we define it for ourselves? Are we a success? It’s a feeling. If we feel good about our life and about self then we’re a success.
I AM a success because I AM happy. Life is good and All is well!

Do not forget today that there can be no form of suffering that fails to hide an unforgiving thought. Nor can there be a form of pain forgiveness cannot heal. – A Course in Miracles (ACIM)
Suffering of any kind is the result of judging or holding a resentment against someone or something. Such ‘unforgiving’ thoughts are the root cause of our physical or mental suffering. Release from this suffering is very simple…
Today I AM forgiving everyone and everything. I AM free and fully released!

Unless we are very, very careful, we doom each other by holding onto images of one another based on preconceptions that are in turn based on indifference to what is other than ourselves. – Anne Truitt
We live amidst our own thoughts. Most of these thoughts are old, especially regarding how we view the other. Let’s see others with an eye on their magnificence and potential.
Today I AM thinking fresh thoughts about who others really are, not as I perceive them from my past…
Recommendation: Art of Being by Erich Fromm
…love is an art, just as living is an art; if we want to learn how to love we must proceed in the same way we have to proceed if we want to learn any other art… – Erich Fromm
We must master the art of loving. According to Fromm it is an art. Something we need to learn and practice. And slowly get better at. Let’s start our practice in earnest!
Today I AM learning how to love, everything and everyone, slowly but steadily!
Recommendation: Art of Being by Erich Fromm
For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. – Kahlil Gibran
Life is made up of moments. The little things matter more than anything else. We can truly be ‘refreshed’ if we stay in the moment and arrive fully wherever we are…
Today I AM here, in the Now, fully present and with it. I AM refreshed!
Recommendation: The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran
The only way to get what you really want is to know what you really want. The only way to know what you really want is to know yourself. The only way to know yourself is to be yourself. And the only way to be yourself is to listen to your heart! – Mike Dooley
The heart is where our soul is. It’s where our essence lives. When we operate from that center we can be more certain about where to go. How can we get closer to who we truly are?
Today I AM my heart. My heart inhabits my whole body. I AM guided and led as I grow more peaceful!
Recommendation: Notes from the Universe by Mike Dooley
Perfectionism is our most compulsive way of keeping ourselves small, a kind of psychoemotional contortionism that gives the illusion of reaching for greatness while constricting us into increasingly suffocating smallness. – Ursula K. Le Guin
“Refuse to play the perfectionism game”. Let’s not use our apparent desire to be perfect to become an excuse to not do anything challenging or worthwhile. Let’s not say, I’ll do this when … such and such thing happens. We’re only fooling self.
Today I AM coming face-to-face with the excuses I generate so that I don’t have to do something.
