Journey around the sun

You’ve circled around the sun once more, along with everyone else. Consider what you’ve learned, experienced, discovered, abandoned.

Now brings a new chance to make good use of all you’ve been through. Everything that’s accrued to your unique existence, you can re-focus toward meaningful purpose.

Give yourself some time to feel how you feel, to care about what you care about. Remind yourself of all that makes life actually and potentially good.

On this waypoint in your journey, you have the power of choice over your thoughts, actions, perspectives, and priorities. That power has brought, and will continue to bring, value, beauty, richness and fulfillment to your world.

This is a day to acknowledge what you and the good people surrounding you have accomplished, as flawed as it might be. This is a day you can be inspired to do even better as the hours and weeks and years roll steadily ahead.

Sincerely appreciate where you’ve come from and realistically imagine where you can go. Begin today to make this new journey around the sun your best one yet.

— Ralph Marston
