Today's
Meditation:
It is a new day today. Even if we're eating
breakfast with the same people, going to the same job,
working with the same people, doing many things that are
similar to those we did yesterday, the fact remains that
this day is completely new. If we want to face this
day in a new way, a way that allows us to express our
passion and our love for life, that allows us to show
enthusiasm for all that we do and allows us to show how
much we care for others, we can do that. It's not
yesterday, but a new day. And that does make a
difference.
Because how we approach our day has much to do with how
our day turns out. What we give to the day helps to
determine what the day gives back to us. And if we
look at all that we have in life with appreciation, if we
cherish every relationship, every possession, and every
new moment, we will create days that will live in our
memories as wonderful days, one after another. And
if we approach our lives with passion, then things will be
animated, and things will be beautiful, and they will
elicit our passion.
We can no longer wait for the good days-- because of what
we know about life, we must go about creating the good
days by allowing the strengths and perspective and passion
that already are a part of us to grow and to thrive and to
be a part of our creative experience, rather than approach
life as passive observers who just wish for good things,
while good things are everywhere around us.
Today a new sun rises on a new day. It's time to
cherish our lives and to live fully and completely, and
allow our passions to help us to create a life that we
truly can and will cherish. And yes, it is a
circle: if we can cherish our lives, we will help to
create lives that we are able to cherish. And a
beautiful circle it is.
