Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart. – Kahlil Gibran
Real beauty lies deep inside us. We cover it up nicely with our body and thoughts. This beauty emerges in the form of peace and joy, if we only let it…How can we recognize this light in others?
Today I look deeper inside the other. I AM seeing the innocence and magnificence when I look more closely…

The apparent cruelty of a perverse fate that heaps tribulation upon some suffering mortal may in reality be the tempering fire that is transmuting the soft iron of immature personality into the tempered steel of real character. – The Urantia Papers (118:10.9)
Why do ‘bad’ things happen to good people? What can we not see? How broad is our current perspective? Why should we be patient?
Today I AM faithful. I understand that Life is more than I can see. I AM patient. I trust God.

…beauty will rise to bless your sight as you look upon the world with forgiving eyes. – A Course in Miracles (ACIM)
This one may not appear intuitive. A Course in Miracles states that forgiving is our main purpose in life. We must forgive our own self, God and everyone else. We can then be vessels for the Divine will to appear through us. If nothing else we’ll be very peaceful after this daily exercise…
Today I AM forgiving self, everyone out there and all else. I AM complete…

Sleeping is no mean art: for its sake one must stay awake all day. – Nietzsche

Bloom where you are planted. – Mary Engelbreit

The standard of success in life isn’t the things. It isn’t the money or the stuff – it is absolutely the amount of joy you feel. – Abraham
The level of joy in our life is the only measure of success that matters. How joy-filled are we? What can we do to elevate the level of joy in our lives?
Today I AM joy itself. I see the joy in the people, things and events in my life. I AM joy personified!

Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it. – Eckhart Tolle
Those who flow with Life know that everything unravels perfectly. The path to peace and equanimity is the path of full-acceptance. If we accept things as they are, Life reveals the perfect next step.
Today I AM faithful. I trust the process of Life. I know that I AM looked after perfectly.
