With your thoughts you can open your eyes. What you see in front of you is a function of the thoughts you nourish inside of you. Have you ever thought about a person whom you haven't heard from in a long time, and then that person suddenly appears again in your life? It may seem magical or supernatural but it's not.
For your thoughts did not magically cause that person to appear. Instead, your thoughts opened you up to connect with that person who was there all the time.
There are vast expanses of reality that you have never even considered. Your thoughts can open you up to experience all sorts of valuable and wondrous things.
Life becomes available to you to the extent that your thoughts allow. And the quality of life that you experience is very closely connected to the quality of your thoughts.
Your thoughts are the filter through which you connect with the world where you live. With your thoughts you can choose to experience the best of life's countless possibilities.
Ralph Marston
Now is a good time to finally accomplish some of those things you've been meaning to do. Now is a good time to be thankful for all that you have and for all the positive possibilities open to you. Now is a good time to set yourself free from the limiting thoughts that may be holding you back. Now is a good time to open your eyes and to more fully realize how very much you can do.
Now is a good time to connect with your highest vision of how good life can be. Now is a good time to focus yourself on making that vision come true.
Now is a good time to sincerely show others, with your words, your actions, your life, how much you care. Now is a good time to take the best of who you can be and use it to create real, lasting value for your world.
Now is a good time to pause and reflect on who you are and on the unique gifts that you have to give. Now is a good time to experience the real joy that comes from making a positive difference.
What makes now such a good time for all these things? Because it is here and it is yours to fully live, now.
