My attitude toward my day determines how much happiness can be found from this day. Today I'll stop blaming others for whether I'm happy or not, and see that I, and I alone, am responsible for my attitude and the decisions I make toward my own personal happiness. Sometimes, the hardest thing to do is to just lie back in the boat of life, and enjoy the serene, gentle rocking motion as the waves take us to where we are destined to land. I will stop trying to control my destiny and realize that only in letting go of my controlling ways can I be truly free to accept things that come my way, and find the peace and tranquility that comes with such acceptance. The Daily Quote and Prayer will be down for four days.
Creativity can solve almost any problem.
The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything. Today if someone does something that triggers hurtful feelings in me, I'll try to understand their motives as best I can, by communicating with them. Today I'll tell myself that I'd rather have my feelings based on truth, and not on my ego's sensitive guesses. At the innermost core of all loneliness is a deep and powerful yearning for union with one's lost self. No matter what happens in my day, I'll try to remember that nothing last forever.
