Few would argue that, in many ways, the world is in a very dark place right now. As we continue to do our best to endure the barrage of challenges that are fired our way daily, we must not forget that an unlimited supply of love, beauty, and abundance still surrounds us. We are awarded the incredible opportunity to deepen our connection to truth and to what truly matters in this life: our love and service to one another.

What is the best thing about today? What do you love? Consider reaching out to a friend, relative, or neighbor. Tell them how much you appreciate them. Ask if there is anything that you can do to make their day better. We can create a better reality if each of us is willing to commit to even small acts of kindness and service daily.

Success or sabotage? When we feel tempted by deep sadness, we must allow ourselves to feel it, knowing and affirming that the beauty of life and love will always conquer fear and hatred. Then, we translate that commitment into action, creating greater success for ourselves and others.

Is this going to be an incredible day? Every day has a seed of great potential, if we allow our hearts to open to the gifts that reside on the other side of pain and fear.
