Make Plans — Expect to Live
You can live purposefully by identifying your life goals and live according to them. If you can live each day with the expectation that your life will go on, however many days lie ahead, each will be rich and purposeful. You can begin by actively preparing spiritually and developing your own personal relationship with God or another higher being. In addition, some other ways to achieve peace with what the future holds include:
Find reasons to celebrate and view each day as an opportunity.
Give to others by sharing yourself and your wisdom.
Be sensitive to the messages of your body in relation to feelings of joy and stress.
Listen to uplifting music.
Laugh and play.
Read uplifting books.
Resolve issues that have interfered with your happiness.
Upon awakening, try to be open to the possibilities that unfold before you.
Life is a gift: Affirm this gift within you as you go about your daily routines. The ordinary is the extraordinary once you have journeyed this path. You have been through a tiring journey — renew your spirit, be gentle with yourself, rest in the spirit, and be present to yourself, and a new life will be yours, a different life that is filled with a new appreciation for living. Be hopeful, as hope instills life and life breeds more life — the spiritual life that is within will bring you peace. Explore your inner spirit, your relationship with God or another higher being. This will set your life force free.
