The best within you

Perhaps today is not your best day. And it’s likely you’re not in an ideal situation.

Nonetheless, you can visualize what you would do if you were in fact experiencing your best day. And you can, to the best of your ability, work on doing it.

You can imagine how you would move forward if indeed you were in an ideal situation. And you can incorporate elements of that response into the existing situation.

External circumstances certainly have their impact. Yet your internal drive, purpose, motivation, and concept of yourself also have important roles to play.

The best within you is always present, always possible, even in the worst of situations. And it is precisely at those times that the best version of yourself can come forward to push life in a more positive direction.

No matter where you go, no matter what you encounter, you carry with you the desire and ability to make a difference. When that ability is called for, when it’s needed most, reach inside, call it up, and put it to good use.
