YOUR GREATER SELF LIES AHEAD

Have you discovered your greater self yet?

If you haven’t, you may find it hard to imagine and believe that a greater self exists within you. But it does.

You’ll begin to know this greater self when you suddenly experience beauty, not just in the obvious places (such as in a field of flowers or a rolling hillside), but all around you in the common sights of daily life. You’ll see it in the plodding bent-over frame of an old man crossing the street, as well as in the bright bubbling cherubic smile of an infant grabbing at his wiggling toes.

When you arrive at this greater self, you’ll not only see beauty more often and in the most unexpected places, you’ll also be more open to the creative possibilities of life -- what once may have seemed as a setback will suddenly seem like an opportunity to move ahead. You’ll also find greatness and fulfillment in the simple experience of just being alive -- a walk in the sun will be a grand event; a chance meeting with a neighbor ... an unexpected pleasure; the sights and sounds of your environment ... a sensory texture to savor.

And what may be most impressive of all is the new way in which you’ll suddenly carry yourself and meet the challenges of life. Disappointments and discomforts will be taken gracefully, discontent will be seen as an unnecessary response. And perhaps most wonderful of all, you’ll continually bathe in the warm glow of success because it will no longer be something you’ll need to strive for, but always present -- something that automatically comes with each thing that you lovingly do.

Yes, believe it or not, your life can be greater than you may now imagine. And this wonder can happen at any moment. All you have to do is recognize all the goodness that actually lies right within you and begin allowing it to emerge.

Goodness and joy to all, Joseph.
