Awaken to the Opportunities of Your Life

Each day is a new beginning, a new dawn, a new opportunity to become that which you truly want to be. When you rise each day it is a fresh start. Think, the night before, what you want in life, what you want to be, how you want to be in the world. You have every opportunity every day to create that manifestation of your being which you want in this world.

Forget the past, forget the limitations, the beliefs about yourself, the condemnations, the limitations. Let them go. Awaken each morning to the opportunity of your life. Seize the moment. Each day you can create the person you want to be, the life you want to lead.
​
Life is short. The need is to see that now is the time, now is the opportunity for you to do that which you truly want to do in life, for you to assess and find your priorities, that which is truly important for you to be, to do, to become. What is it you really want to to do in your life? What is it you really want to be in your life?

You have an opportunity each day to be a person who is immersed in Dharma, to be a person who lives in harmony with this universe, to be a person of ethics, to be a person of integrity. You have an opportunity in every action, every interaction that comes in your life to be the best self you can be. And that opens the opportunity to connect with the infinite Self, the divine essence of your being, and to bring that which you are into existence.

This opportunity in your life brings you into connectedness with the whole of your being; with the infinite Self; the one, eternal, immortal essence of being. That one is always there, permeating all that is. Your life is an opportunity to get to know that infinite source of being, to establish a personal relationship with that divine existence, so that you yourself can melt into that infinite essence and become one with all life, become one with the essence of being.

For that essential Self, that beloved of your heart, is always with you, day and night, through thick and thin. And you have an opportunity each and every day to awaken and meet that essential beloved of your heart, meet that divine essence, immerse yourself in that divinity.

And to follow a life which reflects that in your inner actions, in your being in the world—creating loving-kindness, compassion, and care, in you and all around you; leading a life of nonviolence, loving-kindness, compassion, truthfulness, self-honesty, generosity, not desiring what others have but rather generously giving of yourself. A life where you see God in everyone and in everything, and a life where you find your safety in that divine presence that is in you and all around you, rather than in money or accumulation of things.

Let that be the core of your substance, your shelter in the storm. Let it be your divine source, rather than material gain. Then you may find, without struggle, that your material needs are cared for. Because when you follow your bliss, when you live your heart’s dream, when you are aligned with your inner being in the outer world, then a flow happens, a movement, a movement toward the infinite, a movement toward love. ​

​Because when you follow your bliss, when you live your heart’s dream, when you are aligned with your inner being in the outer world, then a flow happens, a movement, a movement toward the infinite, a movement toward love. And out of that, you find that your needs are being cared for, that abundance comes in your life, without struggle, but in the joy of deep expression, deep love, and deep connection to essence.

​So never feel that this life divine, this life of deep fulfillment is far away from you, beyond you, somehow unreachable, unattainable—no. Every day you wake up to a new opportunity, a new beginning, a new moment in which you can connect with essence, in which you can open your heart in love, in which you can get up and be the person you want to be.

So never feel that this life divine, this life of deep fulfillment is far away from you, beyond you, somehow unreachable, unattainable—no. Every day you wake up to a new opportunity, a new beginning, a new moment in which you can connect with essence, in which you can open your heart in love, in which you can get up and be the person you want to be.

This is the great opportunity and joy of your life; and great happiness comes when the inner man, the inner woman, is the same person as the outer expression. When you are in alignment with your heart, your mind, your thoughts, and your actions, then a great fulfillment comes, for you are living your Dharma.

And when your Dharma is aligned with Bhagavad Dharma, with divine flow and connection, with harmony, with all life, and with that great love of the infinite, then there is a great peace , a great harmony to your life, to your being. And out of that, great happiness comes into existence.

So never be downhearted, never think that the joy of your life is unattainable. Never think that you don’t have the opportunity to be what you truly want to be. For it is there every new moment. It is there in the love of your heart. It is there in the joy of your being. It is there in your connection to the infinite.
