YOUR TIME TO LIVE
The wait is over. This moment is here and it is time to live. Whatever could have been or should have been, doesn't matter. This moment is here and now for you to live. Choose to live it fully and richly, as if this is the only time there has ever been and the only time that will ever be. This is not a time for regret or blame or putting off until later.
This is your time to live, to feel how exquisitely amazing it is to be, and give the best of yourself to right now. This moment you can stop giving energy to your limitations, and give your energy to joy and creation and authentic expression. This moment sits at the intersection of the best of your past achievements and the best of your future possibilities. What a powerful combination that can be! This moment has already begun, and you can determine how it ends. Look back at what has brought you to this moment and find something for which to be sincerely grateful. Look forward from this moment and find something that will enable you to realize your deepest purpose and fill your world with joy.
Then make use of this moment to tie those two things together. Put your richest blessings to work so that they can move you toward your fondest dreams. This is the time to make that connection. This is the time for you to live and to act, to think, to feel, to experience and to move gratefully toward your richest possibilities. The best of what your life has been is alive in this moment, ready to carry you forward. And the best of what's to come is ready to be fulfilled.
LIFE’S UPS AND DOWNS
The victories bring joy, and new opportunities. The defeats bring wisdom, strength, determination... and new opportunities. In this way, life moves continually forward. In each moment, you can build upon whatever has come before.
Sometimes things happen just as you expected they would. And then there are times when nothing goes the way you had it planned. In any event, there is a way to respond triumphantly. There is a way to gain value from it all.
Learn to see the value no matter what outer conditions and circumstances may be concealing it. Know that there is value, and you will find it.
Right now, you are where you are supposed to be. For right now, you are where you can truly make a difference. The ups and downs and ins and outs of life have brought you to this day. And on this day, you can make something beautiful out of it all.

WHAT IT TAKES
You have what it takes to live life at its best. You have what it takes to achieve outstanding excellence. You have what it takes to make it genuine, to make it truly your own success.
You have what it takes, and what you have right now is a perfectly good starting point. From here, from now, from whatever you are, from whatever you have, you can take the first step forward. Because you have what it takes.
More than anything, what it takes is desire. Somewhere in you, you have it. How can you be sure? If you're alive and breathing, you have it. You have the desire to matter. You have the desire to make a difference. You have the desire to feel richly and completely alive in your own unique way.
Real achievement, real fulfillment -- they don't come from luck. Yes, you have to be in the right place at the right time, but it's not luck that gets you there. It's you. It's the choices you make. It's the actions you take. Touch your most profound desire. Connect with it often enough and sincerely enough, and you'll figure out how to get yourself in the right place at the right time, anytime you choose.
You have what it takes, because what it takes is you. What it takes is your active involvement and responsibility in your own life. What it takes is to feel how good it will feel when you're living the life of your dreams. Feel it richly and in great detail in your imagination. Feel it so intensely you can't think of anything else.
Then get yourself up, get yourself busy, get yourself going and make it happen. Because you -- you have what it takes.
FORGIVE
Resentment is a useless pursuit. It does not help you, it does not help the situation, and it does not help the people you resent. Resentment expands the damage that has been done and prolongs the pain that has been inflicted. And resentment often leads to new instances of hurtful behavior on the part of everyone involved.
The way to end the downward spiral of resentment is with forgiveness. Forgiveness frees you to move forward, unfettered by the burden of past wrongdoing.
Forgiveness does not mean that what happened was acceptable. Forgiveness simply enables you to completely, once and for all, let it go. In every life, there are plenty of opportunities for deep, abiding and destructive resentment. But there is nothing at all to be gained by spending your life filling up a mental warehouse with that pain.
Decide instead to quickly forgive. Choose to move forward, beyond the pain and into a world filled with positive possibilities. Don't waste your life on resentment when there is so much beauty, life and love to experience.
There is nothing to be gained from making life needlessly difficult with resentment. See the truth that life is beautiful. Align your energy and your actions with your very own expression of that truth. Let yourself be yourself, and the richness flows easily, effortlessly and naturally through every moment. Drop the resentment. Forgive. Don't waste your time reacting to somebody else's folly. Let yourself be yourself. And you'll be as rich as anyone can ever be.
