That the single, most significant dimension of life is your relationship
with the Source of Goodness who never ceases
to sing love songs to your soul.
That you find meaning, purpose, and vitality in what you do daily.
That you treasure your loved ones and let them know
how dear they are to you.
That you make choices and decisions that reflect you truest self.
That you look in the mirror at least once a day
and smile in happy amazement.
That you remember relationships are what count above all else
- more than work or money, or the material things
we spend so much time tending.
That you live in an uncluttered manner,
enjoying the freedom to be content.
That you keep your sense of humour
when things don't go the way you want.
That you find adventure in each new day and marvel
at the wonders of creation which constantly present themselves to you.
That you never give up on yourself when others turn away
or do not understand.
That you are attentive to the health of your body, mind, and spirit.
That you take risks and accept the growth-full challenges
that come to you.
That you draw on your inner strength and resiliency
when you are in need.
That you carry peace within yourself, and encourage it
to slip into the hearts of others, so our planet
becomes a place where violence, division, and war are no more.
Out of the Ordinary, Joyce Rupp
