More beautiful

There’s some neglected little corner of your life that’s gotten kind of dingy. Maybe today you could make it beautiful.

Imagine the sense of purpose you’ll experience in the process. Think of the satisfaction you’ll carry with you long afterwards.

At any time, in some way, you are able to make a tangible improvement in your world. That’s something you can prove again and again to yourself, and to others, with a modicum of focused effort.

Doing so will activate creativity, boost confidence, inspire and energize you. There’s something about participating in beauty that resonates deeply, and positively.

Consider what could benefit from your care, your attention to detail, your choice to do what’s good and right just because you can. Notice how nice the enthusiasm feels when you think along those lines.

Transform that enthusiasm into action, and make some particular part of your life more beautiful. It’s an excellent use of your time that you’ll long remember and never regret.
