I’m reminded of the goal of life, to live it to the fullest.
I have tried so many ways to carry out this goal. I have drunk alcohol to the point of becoming an alcoholic, I have eaten whatever foods I wanted to the point of obesity, I have lived in rigid religiosity until I fell apart emotionally, and I have been promiscuous to the point of having no emotions left.
The readings this morning reminded me of the need for balance and following those beliefs which brought me to happiness, joy, and serenity.
This is when I feel my best.
I choose to eat healthy foods, exercise, make statements of appreciation, be accepting, state affirmations, and meditate.
Today I choose to enter each experience with compassion, humility, empathy, kindness, understanding, peace, and Love.
The goal of my life is to live it to the fullest, which means enjoying each day. I get to do that through the choices I make.
May each of you allow yourself the gift of living out your life to its fullest.
You are Love and Loved.
