Today is yours to shape. Create a masterpiece. – Steve Maraboli
Today is it. Now is all we have. How will we show up? Will we cower and be afraid? Or will we bring our whole being to bear and create something worthwhile and beautiful?!
I AM fully present to take on this moment and the day! Bring it on! In partnership with God, all things are possible!
Recommendation: The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
Even when the air currents are ascending, no bird can soar except by outstretched wings. – The Urantia Papers
This quote is inspiring on two fronts!
1) That there is a Universal (or Life) current which we can attach ourselves to, which will take us to wherever we need to go.
2) And that we must make the minimum effort required to participate in that Universal program!
To connect with this Life source meditation helps tremendously. Meditation Tip #2: Sit down (at least thrice a day or when you need to feel the calm), close your eyes and take 3 deep breaths. The breaths should be long drawn, held for a few seconds and then exhaled slowly. This relaxes the body and starts to relax the mind. Breathe naturally now. Put your full attention on your breath. Watch and experience the breath as it goes in/out. You might lose track and get lost in a thought. Notice this too. And then put your attention back on the breath. Practice for 5 minutes!
I AM ready to soar! I listen and respond, I stay humble and I serve. Life takes me where necessary. I have no worries. I just sail along…

Happiness is a present attitude–not a future condition. – Hugh Prather
It’s all here and it’s all now.
3 words, Happiness, Present and Attitude. These 3 words sum it all up! Happiness is what we all want, what we all seek. Happiness is being content and joyful with what we are and what we have now, today. Present is the only time that exists. We can only experience happiness in the present moment. Attitude, the right kind is what we need to handle any situation in life and to stay happy! Combine the 3 together and we have the making of a fulfilling life!
Today I AM happy. I AM happy because all is well and I AM alive! There’s a lot to be grateful for and I focus on all that today! Life is good and has never been better!
Recommendation: The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
You will learn that you increase your burdens and decrease the likelihood of success by taking yourself too seriously. – The Urantia Papers
No matter what, we lose out if we’re not enjoying the present moment and the gifts it brings. Laugh, smile, inhale, jump, wink, kiss and make merry, this unique moment that we’re living won’t last!
Today I AM having fun! I AM happy just the way I AM. All is well and there’s nothing to worry about!

Your soul doesn’t care what you do for a living – and when your life is over, neither will you. Your soul cares only about what you’re being while you’re doing whatever you’re doing. – Neale Donald Walsch
We pursue tasks, these tasks fulfill us and give meaning to our lives and we die while still doing stuff. Which is all well and good because we certainly need work to be done, but did we ever wonder why we’re called human beings and not human doings 🙂 ? There’s a beauty and sublime peace in life which can be experienced when we’re just being, because when we’re just being our mind chatter dies down, we can be in the flow and experience an equanimity which is otherwise hard to find!
Today I AM just going to be. I AM relaxed. I AM faithful. I AM not worried about my future. And trust that all will be well. I relax into the luxury of NOW. Life has never been better!

Only that day dawns to which we are awake. – Henry David Thoreau
It could be an entire day before we realize it’s gone! Does that happen to you?
We must become aware of ourselves as we pass through a unique day, that’s made up of unique moments and experiences. If we are constantly manufacturing thoughts about what’s going on with us or who’s doing what to us, then we won’t awaken to that day or moment.
The only way to smell the rose is to awaken fully to the rose (not thoughts/concepts about it) and experience it fully for what it is.
Today I AM here. I AM present. I experience life as it is and not via my thoughts about life. I AM happy.
Recommendation: The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
God exists in eternity. The only point where eternity meets time is in the present. The present is the only time there is. – Marianne Williamson
All we have is now. All that we do, can only be in the present moment. And for that reason when we’re thinking and processing in our minds, we can’t really be doing anything else. We can’t be smelling the roses, we can’t really be listening to another, we can’t even listen to the signals our own body or soul might be sending our way!
Let’s pay attention to all the thoughts we’re processing, all day long. As we bring our attention to that constant activity, it will begin to slow down. We then create spaces between our thoughts that allow for peace, intuition, joy and direct perception possible. We start living a richer life.
Today I AM present here and now. I AM with God. I know peace and joy. I AM content and peaceful.
Recommendation: Marianne Williamson – Everyday Grace
