As we move forward in 2026, many of us are contemplating our current and potential position personally and professionally. No matter our direction, being optimistic in thought, word, and action fortifies each phase of our expanding lives.
DEFINING GOALS
What questions do I have about life? As I turn to my inner core, I gain a sense of renewal, as well as revelation of righteous goals and appropriate means for achieving them. My time spent in meditation is life-affirming not only for myself, but also my loved ones, community, and world. As I open my mind and heart to inspiration, I prepare myself to move forward positively with new ventures in my ongoing journey.
GENEROSITY OF SPIRIT
As I move through my daily activities, I do so with remembrance that each person thinks, speaks, and acts according to their inner light and level of conscious understanding. I affirm that I am walking peacefully and joyously along my path of Life. I listen within my mind and heart for clear and immediate direction to right ideas, people, and actions that help fulfill my potential to the highest good for all concerned.
PAYING IT FORWARD
Each day I open myself to helping my community and world. Beyond extending positive thoughts, there may be concrete things I can do personally or professionally to enhance the living of another person or organization. This may range from sharing encouraging smiles or compliments on garb with those we pass, doing an errand for those in need, or gifting my talents in an unexpected manner...for I know that these acts of kindness are forms of “paying it forward,” one day I will become the recipient of another’s thoughtfulness in my own time of need.
MY MEDITATIVE MOMENTS
In this meditative moment, I smile and inhale the revitalizing breath of Life. I Picture myself floating in a warm rippling pool listening to the Harmonies of the Universe, while giving thanks that I am moving forward with poise on my unique sojourn through life.
As I return from my times of quiet reflection, I find my sensory experiences deepened. Sight of my surroundings are more vivid. The aroma of a material or spiritual garden is sweeter, the touch of a pet’s fur more luxuriant, music and birdsong more intricate, and the flavors of my favorite dessert intensified. And So It Is!
