There is no such thing as stress; only people thinking stressful thoughts.

Act as if everything you desire is already here...treat yourself as if you already are what you'd like to become.

While eating your appetizer, don't be concerned with dessert.

Give love and unconditional acceptance to those you encounter, and notice what happens.

Anything inside that immobilizes me, gets in my way, keeps me from my goals, is all mine.

Make the decision that you'll no longer use excuses to keep you from what you know is in your best interest. Today, act on something you've always avoided and explained away with a convenient excuse. Make a phone call you've been putting off, write a letter to a friend, put on a pair of walking shoes and go for a stroll, clean out your closet—do something you've been justifying not doing with excuses.

You'll seldom experience regret for anything that you've done. It is what you haven't done that will torment you. The message, therefore, is clear. Do it! Develop an appreciation for the present moment. Seize every second of your life and savor it.
