Let now be good
Let now be good. Let now bring its unique fulfillment and richness.
Those days in the past that you remember as perfect had their problems and shortcomings. Those future times you imagine as ideal will not be flawless.
Be thankful for what has been, for all that will be. And experience each joy as its time arrives.
Now is everything you have. It is far from perfect, yet it is more than enough.
Do the good you can do, now when you can. Be the authentic person you are, now when it matters.
Let go of any longing for what might have been, or what was, or what could be, and just let now be good. Now is here for you, so be fully here for now.

New beauty
Listen to what life tells you. Act on it.
Open yourself to truth, no matter how painful or demanding. Stick with that truth.
Feel your own desires, your own fears, your potential for joy, your ability. Feel the love you have for all you care about.
Be thankful for all you’ve been through, for all you have, for all that’s possible. Express that gratitude by making use of it, by pointing it in a positive and beneficial direction.
Watch as the sun appears over the horizon. Stand in amazement at the opportunity contained in just a single day.
Then do something about it, do something with it. Create the new beauty that is waiting for you to bring it to life.

Give to yourself
Give to yourself some goodness. Give to yourself some love.
Give yourself some time, attention, patience, and care. Give yourself understanding and acceptance.
Know how good it feels when you are genuinely good to yourself. Then realize how easily and naturally you can expand that good feeling to others.
Be good to yourself not out of selfishness, but to gain skill and experience. Create within yourself a source and a supply of goodness that you can share with all of life.
The more generously you give to yourself the more effectively you can give to those around you. Accept and understand yourself, and you’ll further your acceptance and understanding of others.
What you have to give is what you have first given yourself. Give generously, and let that generosity expand far and wide.
