Today's Gift
Today, let’s be clear in how we think, speak, and act. And if we start to get mixed up, let’s stop thinking and listen for our Higher Power’s voice.
Today, we know that we have just a small job to do. It is to live today with love in our heart. We can’t take care of every problem in the world. But we make our actions today part of the answer instead of the part of the problem. Let's Keep It Simple.
Prayer for the Day: Higher Power, help me find Your calmness and peace in my heart today.
Action for the Day: Do I believe that peace starts with me? Today, I’ll listen to the simple voice of peace inside of me. And I’ll Keep It Simple.
Answers
We realize we know only a little. Our Higher Power will constantly disclose more to you and to us. Ask Them in your morning meditation what you can do each day for the person who is still sick.
The answers will come, if your own house is in order.

Authentic desire
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. —Helen Keller
The next 24 hours are guaranteed to excite us, to lift us to new levels of understanding, to move us into situations with others where we can offer our unique contributions. All that is asked of us is a willingness to trust that we will be given just what we need at each moment.
We can dare to live, fully, just for today. We can appreciate the extraordinariness of every breath we take, every challenge we encounter. Within each experience is the invitation for us to grow, to reach out to others in caring ways, to discover more fully the women we are capable of being. We must not let a single moment go by unnoticed.
When we withdraw from life, we stunt our growth. We need involvement with others, involvement that perturbs us, humors us, and even stresses us. We tap our internal resources only when we have been pushed to our limits, and our participation in life gifts us, daily, with that push. How necessary the push!
None of us will pass this way again. What we see and feel and say today are gone forever. We have so much to regret when we let things slip away, unnoticed or unappreciated.
A special series of events has been planned for me today. I shall not miss it.

Excerpt of The Daily Motivator
Authentic desire
by Ralph Marston
Admit to yourself what you really, truly desire. In the truth and authenticity of your desire exists more than enough energy to make it happen.
Let go of the desires you’ve borrowed just because they are trendy or impressive. Let your heart point the way to what matters.
When it is painful for you to not be following, supporting, committed to what you desire, you know that’s a genuine desire. Do the work, live the effort to zero in on those things you love so intensely you must give yourself to their fulfillment.
Your time has incalculable value. To feel profoundly good about yourself, spend your time and energy on the outcomes, achievements, and purposes you love and desire.
Remind yourself that the desire to matter, to make a difference in your own unique way, lives at your core. Seek out positive, beneficial ways to satisfy that desire in all you do.
What will make things right with the world? What can you do to bring that vision to life?
