To live life contentedly is to live consciously each
moment. It is to transmute mind-created suffering into
peace through acceptance, and to allow love to vanquish
fear through the stillness of peace.
Life is not defined by what happens to us; it is
defined by how we use our circumstances to make this a
better world. Our destinations are not determined by
the trails we inherit but by those we create.
Within each storm of life is hidden a key that will
unlock another door that you were meant to walk
through.
Living serenely doesn't mean that we deny problems or
avoid the responsibility for solving them. Just the
opposite--we find the clarity and presence of mind to
deal with the issues of daily living in positive
constructive ways.
If you have a desire you cannot forsake, you have the
first ingredient for achievement: a dream. Your dream
is all you need to start with; it is a blueprint for
the future.
Prosperous people are aligned with life in a way that
attracts abundance. They are aligned with vision and
desire, and they do not give up. To persevere is to
move in alignment and in harmony with life.
We can choose to dwell on yesterday, or we can see life
through the eyes of a child--with newness, joy, and the
thrill of adventure. If we focus only on what we
perceive as a future "finish line", we will miss
something special: today's small victories. Discovering
these moments of joy is one of life's most rewarding
adventures.
