This day exists for you. This morning, take note of what you really value in your life. Take note of what you value about yourself. Today you can abandon self-denial and criticism. Those things have not served you well. It’s time to see what’s good and to know what’s possible. If you are in good health, notice how valuable that is to your overall wellness. Without good health, nothing much else matters. If there is someone in your life that loves you, notice how remarkably awesome that feels. If you have access to clean water, fresh air, and nutritious and delicious foods, think of how all of that has kept you alive for all of these years. Think of the value of your heart, your digestive system, and your immune system. If you are in good health today, value everything that your body has done to keep you alive. All of that work is so you can live to see another day.
It’s time to give credit where credit is due. Today you can acknowledge your body, your organs, and your life as miraculous. Your body is working hard to keep you alive and well. Everything that has happened to you has also been for your benefit. Even tragedy can be turned into a graceful learning opportunity. Your history, and everything that has happened to you has helped you, through experience, to become wise. Your possessions and accomplishments pale in comparison to your wisdom and understanding. Value these intangible things above all else.
Every little detail of your intricate existence has been woven into a tapestry so amazing, that the mind can scarcely comprehend it. It’s time to acknowledge this amazing miracle and to simply say, “thank you.” There is so much to value about you, and there is so much to value about today. Don’t let another day be wasted on things that aren’t valuable. Savor the riches, today.
