Just go with it

Take this richly beautiful day and just go with it. Take this moment, though it may have flaws and imperfections, and live it.

Instead of worrying that there’s not enough time, go ahead and fully live the time that is here now. Rather than being concerned that things are not perfect, enjoy and experience all that is, as it is.

There is no need to wait for the gratification of every desire. For that is not what will bring true happiness. There is no need to remain upset if events do not go your way. For even when things have not gone your way, you are always free to be your best in the moment that is now.

The majority of things that trouble, annoy or frustrate you, do so only because you’ve allowed them to. Imagine how peaceful and positive you can be simply by deciding to let it be.

This day, this life, is a precious, beautiful gift that you’ve received. Accept it with gratitude and never hold back the joy that can be yours.

— Ralph Marston
