Today, I will take a deep breath, knowing that I'm lucky to be alive. I have survived challenges in the past and will survive challenges in the future. Nothing need distract me from living my life today.

We look back in anger at the people who've hurt us, the frustrations we've felt, the bad luck we've endured. We look forward in fear at the possibility that we might lose our job, contract a disease, or suffer the death of a loved one. The place we need to be is right here, right now-not looking anxiously at what has been or what might be, but fully aware of what is.

Today, I will recognize each time I step forward, I may stir things up. I can't avoid these disturbances, but I can accept them and move on.

The path of "true anything" isn't always smooth. Almost any aspect of our life can be disturbed as we pursue and accomplish goals that are important to us. Going to college may mean seperating from parents. A promotion may mean a different relationship with co-workers. Marriage may mean losing-and gaining-friends. The only way to prevent such disturbances would be to avoid ever taking a step forward. But who wants to stand in one place?

I'm gererally cautious, and thats a good thing, but I recognize that sometimes I just have to go ahead and try something new. Even if things do'nt go well, I will have learned something important from taking the chance.

Our experieience helps us make wiser choices, and making wiser choices allows us to take fewer risks.
But we stagnate unless we take an occasional leap in the dark-without planning for it, without analyzing it in advance. We don't know exactly where we're going to land. We just know we have to reach out, take a chance, and see what happens.
