For This One Day

by Anonymous

I want you to begin this day anew, with the thought of becoming the person you’d like to be. Today I want you to set aside some time just for you.. to plan, to dream, to be honest with yourself about yourself. May you become better acquainted with the wonderful person you are.

Today I want you to experience something new. I want you to learn from the world around you.. from the words you read, the sounds you hear, the touches you fell, and the faces you see. Even through the course of your daily tasks, may you try to search for a new perspective, lean towards understanding, and make the commonplace a wondrous place to be. Make your happiness… a happiness that lasts.

I want you to think of your friends and loved ones.. and be wared by knowing that they hold on to some very meaningful thoughts of you. may you have a gentle thanks for the sunrises and smiles, along with the hardships and trials, that have helped to make you what you are today.

I wish you the kind of intuition that lets you know how naturally joy comes to those who open their eyes wide to envision it i wish you the realization that- by some interesting twist- doing for others is also doing for you.

I wish u the luxury of being reminded that having a sense of humor helps you to survive, and that even when everything else goes wrong, it pays such nice dividends to simply be glad you’re a part of this moment in time. I wish u the simple pleasure of being alive.

May you listen to your inner needs and comply as best as you can. For today, I wish you a little learning for your mind, as much love as your heart can hold, nourishment and exercise for your body, and being able to see the beauty of the world.. for your soul.

Today I want to think of the past only long enough to learn from it. And I hope to glance ahead to the future only for a fleeting dream hope will come true…

Three Quotes

Despair 
“Death, sadness, despair and disease. The myriad miseries of our quotidian existence. Life is suffering. The world is sorrow. History is a nightmare from which no man can awake. Time is the dolorous thread doomed to perpetually circumnavigate in wider circles the pool of fate.”

Humor
“Dumbledore returns from the dead and declares it to be hammertime, Harry proceeds to break it down, Voldemort is unable to touch this.”

Inspiration
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.’ We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do.  It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
- Marianne Williamson
