- Live like it matters -

If you’ve done poorly, 

you can now do better. 

If you’ve done well, 

you can now do even better than that.

 

Every moment is an opportunity for improvement. 

Every day is your chance to make 

good and meaningful use 

of your wealth of experience.

 

There is a beauty within you 

that longs to be expressed more fully 

and more richly than ever before. 

No matter what has already happened, 

that beauty is more compelling than ever, 

and now is when you can bring it to life.

 

Look out at the ocean, 

look up at the night sky, 

or listen to the sounds of nature 

during a walk through the woods. 

Feel your very real connection with all that is, 

and feel the immense positive possibilities 

for true fulfillment.

 

This is not a time to get caught up in trivialities. 

This is your moment 

to experience the wonder of existence 

in a magnificent and abundant universe.

 

Live like it matters, 

because it very much does matter. 

All of life is depending on you to live with everything you have, 

and now is your time to do so.
