Live For

Choose to live for, rather than against. Focus on what you love and not on any kind of hate.

Practice genuine, cleansing forgiveness, and let the burden of resentment fall softly away. Remind yourself that worry accomplishes nothing worthwhile, and give your awareness to more productive pursuits.


Put your energy into building what is creative, valuable and empowering. And you won't have to constantly fight against what is destructive and draining.


Concern yourself more with accepting responsibility than with assigning blame. Let the possibilities inspire you more than the obstacles discourage you.


You have so very much to live for. Look at each twist and turn in the road with a grateful heart, and you'll find real treasure in every direction.


Live your days on the positive side of life, in tune with your most treasured values. And in each moment you'll have much to live for.


-- Ralph Marston

I love this reading today. The way I see it is that I only have a certain amount of energy each day, and the more energy and thought that I spend on positive things, the less room is left for negative.

Sometimes I have to change the negative into positive, and I do that mostly through gratitude, gratitude for all the good things in my life.

Hugs
