Why is This a Great Day?

This is a great day because I know who I am, and that knowledge radiates, and catches like a fire to all who are in my company.

This is a great day, because we are alive, and still breathing. This is a great day, because we are loved and supported, whether we feel it or not. This is a great day, because there are people who are getting free in their minds and hearts even though they are sometimes bound by physical chains. This is a great day, because we are developing the tools to solve any problem.

This is a great day because I am building up my overall energy through perseverance! This is a great day because I am strong and my strength comes from within me.
This is a great day, because my heart is so amazingly beautiful, full of grace, and gratitude.

This is a great day, because I have the power to make myself feel empowered, successful, joyful, and full of energy. This a great day, because through my words and actions, I am encountering any obstacle like a martial artist for peace. This is a great day because I am ending war and violence in the world around me.

This is great day, because I am passionate about eliminating suffering in my life, while simultaneously embracing every emotion that I feel. This is a great day, because I am passionate about helping other people eliminate suffering in their lives, while pointing out the fact that they have just empowered themselves. I am so grateful.

This is a great day because I am a bright light in the world, like a lighthouse to a lost ship. My very being welcomes everyone to feel at home. This is a great day because people, and animals, and everything that has breath feel safe in my company, and in my embrace. This is a great day because I am metaphorically walking on water and seeing miraculous things in every day life. I am seeing people shift their perspectives, and lift up their heads toward the sky.

This is a great day because the universe, God, goodness, The Creator, science, data, research, proof, etc., is lifting my head up; and I am rising above the mighty waves of sadness, loss, despair, and depression.

This is a great day because I am lifting my head above the mighty waves of fear, and I am reframing it with the truth of who I am; and that I am building up my overall energy through perseverance. I am embracing every feeling as if it were my most innocent and beautiful child. I am holding it in my arms and giving it my biggest smile. I am a father to so many children thoughts, emotions, feelings, ideas, concepts, and beautiful adult children that I encounter every single day. I do not hammer them with advice and discipline, because these children are not my own; *"they are the sons and the daughters of Life's longing for itself." I let the universe bring the patient, generous advice and discipline, that is full of grace and unconditional loving support; that is catered to each child for their specific needs.

I say to myself, first, "I support you. I am here for you." I say with my actions, and with words to the many beautiful children in the world, I appreciate you, I hear you. Thank you for being here, fully, in this moment. You are welcome here. You belong here. And, you are most worthy of love.


This is a great day because I have an anchor in the truth of who I am; that I am strong, and beautiful, and generous, and grateful to be a part of all this BIG MAGIC!!! (as I have heard from Liz Gilbert). All are welcome in my company!

This is a great day because I am anchored in the knowledge that I am held by the universe; a universe that includes, and does not exclude all people, all religions, all races, all genders, all are welcome here!
