It’s easy to deny yourself many of life’s simple pleasures because you
want to be practical. Forget about practical and decide instead to become
a joy collector. Always be on the lookout for gifts without ribbons. God is
strewing them across your path right now. His gifts come tagged with a note:
“Life can be wonderful. Do your best not to miss it!” Enjoy what it is before
it isn’t anymore. . . . Dare to slip on a pair of bunny slippers once in a while!
Surprise yourself! Enjoy the little things because one day you’ll look back
and realize they were the big things !
Your life has been designed to work, and your hidden potential
contains what you seek and all that you need in your life.
It is OK to be who you are and to choose what you have.
The Quakers call it the "still, small voice within,"
that place of full awareness within that is in touch with
the entire universe and is the source of wisdom.
In effect, you don't have to keep searching for confirmation
by focusing on being someone else or being somewhere else.
There is no place else to be and nothing else to get.
You will be able to grasp the levers of change in your life
when you can allow yourself to be present in the moment,
accept the world as it is, and trust that everything is as it was intended to be.
