Right Now

Stop for a moment and calm your thoughts.
Let go of your anxieties and look around you.
What do you see?

You see a world filled with beauty.
You see life filled with possibilities.
There is love, there is goodness, there is joy.

Breathe in the beauty around you,
The beauty and richness of being alive.

It is your gift. It is your fortune.
It is your blessing.

And it is yours to live, to experience, to fulfill.

Right now.
