It’s a good day to take a deep breath and give thanks. There is always something to be thankful for. Let gratitude find its way to your lips and speak its thanks. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It’s easy enough to say. Just that, and you have begun your day with gratitude.
You might notice that although the week started off worrisome and dire, it has evolved into a calmer and more peaceful time. Although tensions may still exist, within yourself you have learned to control your emotions and feelings by staying more innerly focused and heart-centered. With such inner focus the vicissitudes of life recede into the background and are less active in your mind and body. With a calmer and more peaceful intention, life on the inside is better and thus life on the outside is better too. Remain in your calm and peaceful heart-centered state as often as you can. And remind yourself that you have the power to do just that, at any time.
Keep your heart open today. Let it guide you to make the right decisions and choices. With an open heart you might notice that life is a little easier, a little breezier, a little more flowing. With an open heart you might notice that you don’t sweat the small stuff as usual, and you don’t worry about the big picture either; you just stay present in the moment. And that’s really good!
Wisdom develops over time. Allow wisdom to come to you as you live your life and learn what it means to be a wise person. Most wise people don’t even know they are. They just live a certain way; with an open heart that looks at everything and everyone with anticipation for the very best of everything; with an open mind that does not judge; and with a willingness to be kind, compassionate, and loving, no matter what presents. With such attributes, there is plenty of space for wisdom to enter into the picture.
Begin the day with a simple thank you. Begin the day with a smile. Begin the day with a welcoming gesture by inviting some love and gratitude into your heart. It’s the simplest way to shift out of the darkness of night and into the lightness of a new day, full of who knows what! Get ready for it in a loving and openhearted way. Get ready for what this most auspicious day will bring into your life.
