“The future is completely open, and we are writing it moment to moment. There is always potential to create an environment of blame-or one of which is conducive to loving kindness.” ~Pema Chodron Today and every day, you are the one who sets the tone for your life. Everything that has happened in the past is done, over, kaput, finished. A time machine is not available, at least not yet, to take you back in time for a do-over. So let it all go! Instead of dwelling on past losses, seize upon what you gained: the wisdom of the lessons learned through experience. Gather all the confidence you can muster and move forward. The future is completely open. That fact alone is beyond exciting! As long as you live and breathe, you have time to write the best chapters of your life. You decide whether those chapters are filled with anger and blame or love and kindness. Today is a new day in your journey; unwritten chapters await you. Decide now to inscribe wonder into what has not yet been written. Redirect the present moment with all that is good and entrust that the future will unfold accordingly. Declare, at this moment, to become a force of love, hope, and joy and know that the associated rewards for doing so are already yours. Are you ready to experience what awaits you with an attitude of optimism, loving, and kindness? Away you go!
