Fresh new life

The world begins again in this moment. New possibilities wash away old disappointments, giving fresh energy to every hope.

Up ahead in the distance, fulfillment and achievement call to you. Keep going, they say, keep doing what you must in the service of all you love.

Already you are well on your way, the experience and wisdom you’ve gained serving you more powerfully with each new day. You’ve learned the importance of joy, of purpose, challenge, commitment and gratitude, welcoming new opportunities in every circumstance.

No matter how far you’ve come, no matter what lies ahead, the pure, majestic substance of life is yours right now. Treasure it dearly and make use of it fully.

Let the brightness astound you and the stillness inspire you. Let the darkness humble you and the tumult energize you.

Fresh new life is born today, and you are here to live it. Give to it what it deserves, which is everything.

— Ralph Marston
