You have created your fears. And you can choose to lay them to rest. You have created your dreams. And you can choose to bring them fully to life.

When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing - just sitting and looking at the sea, or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs, or waves rippling on a pond, a flickering candle or children playing in the park?

You may very well have good reasons for resentment, frustration and anger. But that doesn't mean those negative responses are good for you, or that you must choose them.

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.

Patience expands your options. If you insist on immediate gratification, your choices are severely limited.

If you focus on the obstacles, then you give them more power.

Gratitude is the smile of love.
