Wisdom? True Or False

This moment is what it is

Choose to accept all that comes your way and in it you will find great value. Resist the urge to impose your judgment on the people, places, things and events that surround you, and you’ll connect with many more possibilities.

To make the very best of any situation, you must first acknowledge and accept the reality of what it is. That provides you with a valuable starting point from which you can move in any direction you choose.

To deny or to fight against what has already happened will merely waste your energy and resources. To wish that things had been different, or to pretend that they are, will do you no good.

Instead, visualize what can be in all the richness and detail that you can imagine. Then find a step you can take right now that will lead you in the direction of your dream.

Losers argue about what has happened and who is at fault, and put their energy into resentment for what is. Winners choose the life they wish to create, and find a way to move toward it from any situation.

This moment is here and now, and this moment is what it is. Accept it fully, with enthusiasm and gratitude, and take a big step in the direction of your dream. 

Free from worry

Stop worrying about being perfect. Just be sincere, honest and authentic.

Stop worrying about what might or might not happen at some future time. Put your energy and attention into connecting with the richness of right now.

Take a deep, refreshing breath and feel the freedom as you let go of every worry you’ve been holding. Experience the full power of your thoughts and actions when they are constantly pointed in a positive direction.

Allow your thoughts to support and encourage you rather than hinder you. Free yourself to deal effectively and successfully with what is real and what is now.

Get in the habit of choosing and following your best possibilities instead of worrying about the worst ones. Bring your highest intentions to life and leave the worries far behind.

Worry brings you nothing worth having, so choose right now to free yourself from its grip. Focus on what you can do and why, and experience the true goodness that life can offer. 

What you imagine

Have you ever thought about what a powerful, flexible and creative thing your imagination is? With your imagination, you can create whole worlds that have never existed before.

What’s even more amazing is this. The creations of your imagination are not confined to your imagination.

There are absolutely no limits to what you can imagine. And much of what you imagine works its way into the rest of your life.

You can completely control your powerful imagination simply by choosing to do so. Imagine the very best for your world in rich detail and intensity, and the things you imagine begin to grow in the reality of your life.

For your imagination reaches beyond your thoughts and your mind. Its transforming power comes from the fact that it is connected to all you are.

Life becomes the way you most sincerely and consistently imagine it to be. What do you dare to imagine? 

To be alive

Give for the sake of giving. Love for the sake of love. Live for the sake of living. Learn just because you can.

Don’t fill the future with ambiguous motives or imagined fears. Fill the moment you’re in with the extraordinary richness of ordinary life.

This day is a gift that you’ve never had before. Jump in and explore the exquisite treasure that is right now at your feet.

Life’s beauty appears at exactly the place where you choose to see it. Choose to see the beauty and value of whatever situation you find yourself experiencing.

Listen to the part of you that resonates with life’s true and never ending goodness. Experience again and again, in a new way each time, what it means to be alive. 

Turning point

Your troubles can sometimes be your greatest blessings. Because those troubles will hound you relentlessly until you make valuable improvements.

Your troubles help you to see and understand your weaknesses. And that enables you to start transforming those weaknesses into strengths.

The best way to respond to trouble is not to curse it, but to do it one better. See each challenge as an opportunity to raise yourself to a higher level.

As with everything else, your troubles are what you make of them. You can choose to make each one a turning point to a more positive and fulfilled life.

Many of history’s greatest accomplishments were responses to terribly difficult problems. Many of your own greatest advances have been in response to challenging situations.

Choose to find the positive possibilities in everything that comes your way. And no problems will ever be able to hold you back. 

Every choice is an opportunity

Every choice has certain benefits. And every choice has its costs.

If you are willing to bear the costs of a particular choice in order to enjoy the benefits, then go ahead with it. If the costs are too high for you when compared to the benefits, then move on and find another, more appropriate choice.

When you adopt an attitude that life, or the world, or your community owes you something, you set yourself up for extreme disappointment. Realize instead that you are already living in a universe filled with abundance, and that creating meaningful value out of that abundance is up to you.

No matter who you are, where you are from, or what you have, a life of fulfillment requires personal effort, commitment and integrity from you. It is through making continued positive choices that you line up life’s abundance in ways that uniquely express your visions and values.

Every moment is a choice, and every choice is an opportunity to build real and meaningful value in your life. Your choices enable you to direct efforts so that those efforts add up to something great and desirable.

Through the choices you make, you have the power to access the very best of life. Choose often, choose wisely, choose with the highest intentions, and your choices will take you precisely where you wish to go. 

Move forward anyway

You may not get it right on the first attempt. Do it anyway, and you’ll soon figure it out.

People are likely to come up with all sorts of reasons why it will never work. Work on it anyway, and commit yourself to handling each challenge as it comes.

Something unexpected will probably happen, in your life, in your industry, or in the world at large, that will cause many of your assumptions to be incorrect. Move forward anyway, because you are perfectly capable of adjusting to changing conditions.

It’s possible that you won’t get the results you expected. Learn from the results you do get, and with your newfound knowledge you’ll discover ways to achieve even better results than you first expected.

There is no good reason to deny yourself the opportunity to accomplish whatever you choose to accomplish. Life is about making a difference, and you will never run out of ways to do that.

Whatever has happened, whatever they say, whatever the state of the weather or the economy may be, move forward anyway. Life is what you choose to make it.
