Keeping a Positive Perspective


As I lay here this morning looking up into the skylight over my bed…..I see the morning sunlight… I see.a new day, a new beginning….a clean slate. I know that as long as I CHOOSE my thoughts, I can CHOOSE what I want to attract and create in my life today.

I love my life. I really do. I love what I have come to know of myself as a spiritual being and I love the growing self awareness that envelopes me more and more every day, regardless of what events and appearances I may experience.



Something wonderful happens when we begin to understand our true place in the universe, when we begin to understand that we are not only passing through time as human beings but also moving through eternity as spiritual beings.

Every era of life has its blessings. Youth, no doubt, allows us to celebrate the quickness of the body and wax joyous in its strength, but youth usually does not have perspective. It has its own sublime face, but does not know that there are wrinkles and disappointments yet to come. Nevertheless, we stand on the gifts and experiences of being young and move forward through the passage of time.

We come to know that we are far more than those who wave good-bye to youth and grudgingly step into the aches and pains of greater age. In less than a month I will celebrate another “milestone” in my life……Another birthday! At 61, I still feel young. I have kept up my physical body by eating well, riding my bike and lots of yoga. I have kept up my mind by hours and hours of learning new things…all kinds of things…from new concepts in my business to an array of new technology tools. I find each day more exciting than the last. My main purpose at this stage in my life is “Who can I help today” and” what can I learn today”.

Every experience holds a teaching, every change a blessing as I pass through the days, weeks, and years of my life as a human being. As I acknowledge my many blessings, Life brings even more for me to appreciate.
