As you wake to consciousness, try with your first breathe to thank our Divine Creator for the many gifts He grants us, and as you say a mantra, ask only that you be worthy of all that is showered on you.
As you open the curtains see how little of the world that the little bird gets, but can sing his heart out. See the intrinsic patterns on the trees from the busy spider. Be aware of the ladybird climbing the window and the tiny caterpillar crawling its way to gain its wings for that glorious flight. Try to feel all the new life ready to meet the day and all it might bring.
So having looked on this opening of a new day, prepare to take your own steps, always holding your hand out to God for strength and courage in all you do in word or thought and deed.
Keep a smile in your heart and it will shine through your eyes. Clear your mind of negative thoughts and try to send love to everyone - even if they slam the door in your face or jostle you, try to keep all those fighting instincts at bay until such times when they are necessary to fight your own baser temptations.
If you follow these ideas you will be amazed how your life will change. Your comfortable rut will not seem so cosy, for as you change your views on the earth you live in and take notice of all humanity, your eyes will be opened to the many avenues there are to our world.
To live without regret is the way to a peaceful heart, and when you attain this all the calm tranquillity will reveal the wonderful world that is invisible and your meditation will be wonderful.
Praise the Lord our God.
