Choose your path

Your problems are real and demanding.

Yet they are tiny when compared to all the positive possibilities for your life in this moment.

You have fallen short in the past.

Yet the past is over, and you are free to choose a new and more fulfilling direction, right now.

There are difficult challenges that you now face.

And right alongside those challenges, intertwined and intermingled with them, there are stunningly magnificent opportunities.

This is your time to grasp those opportunities.

Whatever may try to hold you back is trivial and of little consequence when compared to what you can gain by moving forward.

The difficulties this moment may hold are far outnumbered by the possibilities for achievement, learning, love, joy and fulfillment.

Focus your mind, focus your energy on the best of those possibilities.

In this very moment you are free to choose any thought, any action, any path you wish.

Choose to step confidently forward on the path to the best place and the best life you can possibly imagine.

well being

All the powers in the Universe are already ours.
It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.
We are what our thoughts have made us;
So take care about what you think.
Words are secondary.
Thoughts live; they travel far.
When an idea exclusively occupies the mind, it is transformed into an actual physical or mental state.
We reap what we sow.
We are the makers of our own fate.
None else has the blame, none has the praise.
There is no help for you outside of yourself;
You are the creator of the universe.
Like the silkworm you have build a cocoon around yourself....
Burst your own cocoon and come out as the beautiful butterfly, as the free soul.
Then alone will you see Truth.
In one word, this ideal is that you are divine.
God sits in the temple of every human body.
~ Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902)
