You can make life a little more peaceful, one word, one moment, one encounter at a time. You can make life a little more supportive, more encouraging and reasonable. You can bring a bit of joy to the moments, the places, the people you come across. You can offer a smile, a gentle encouragement, a positive presence wherever you go. Resist the urging of your ego to latch on to some elaborate plan designed to save the world. Simply love life, and the people who are living it, and proceed accordingly. You can make beneficial use of the power that comes from leading by example rather than by guilt, shame, or pronouncement. Your own authenticity can bring out the authentic side in those around you. There's no prerequisite or condition necessary for you to live and express your love for life. Love life because it is good, and because you can. Love this life you have, and let that love lead to rich experience, knowledge, and understanding. Love life, and put your time and energy into supporting all you love. A powerful first step in getting anything done is to assume you can do it. When you start by assuming you can do it, you don't have to fight your doubts all the way there. Even if you don't know how to take the first step, assume that there’s a way. Assume you can do it, and you'll find that way. You are extremely good at solving difficult problems because you've done it all your life. You are very good at making things happen when you have a good enough reason to do so. So make sure your objective is what you really, truly desire, and make the assumption that you can indeed reach it.
