Life is not always easy. And that is a major reason why it is so precious. Many of life's best rewards are possible only because you must work your way through difficult challenges to get to them. If everything in life were easy, there would be no opportunity for real fulfillment.

Welcome those big, sticky, complicated problems. In them are your most powerful opportunities.

Your destiny is to fulfill those things upon which you focus most intently. So choose to keep your focus on that which is truly magnificent, beautiful, uplifting and joyful. Your life is always moving toward something.

If you focus on the obstacles, then you give them more power. Instead focus on your purpose, on your most authentic and fundamental intentions.

Spread the seeds of encouragement far and wide, and delight in the bountiful harvest that they will surely bring.

Dreams are unrealistic, impractical, demanding - and absolutely essential to living a rich and fulfilling life.

Just as surely as you can create a thought in your mind, you can create this day in the way you choose.
