I won't pretend to sit here and know exactly how you should go about seizing the day and loving your sparkling, precious life. Only you know what thrills and depresses you, and so much of this comes from tapping the seriously-wise voice inside.

We are so often cut off, bewildered by, and stranded from spirit in our suffering-prone, rampant minds, that coming to experience spirit out in the world is at first more accessible than experiencing it inside.

We invite you to develop an ongoing relationship with gratitude by making a list of things to "remember to appreciate." You can do this hourly, daily, weekly, finding different things to appreciate each time.

The more I get out of my head and look around at the blessings in my life, the happier and more peaceful I am.

All you know for sure in life is the moment right in front of you.

Self-acknowledgment and -appreciation are what give you the insights and awareness to move forward toward higher goals and accomplishments.
