A Daily Meditation for Achieving Abundance and Bliss

Any opportunity that comes to your life is your own creation. It does not come of itself, nor by chance.  Good luck is then, simply when preparation meets opportunity. Opportunity is either created now, or has been created at some time in the near, or distant past, by your own rightly guided will. If you see no opportunity now, create one by your will, which is a divine instrument within you. Say, "I will do everything for myself with my own will, which is a reflection in me of Divine Will." Act on this truth, and opportunity will come to you.

Because we are unlimited energy, and creativity, each day our actions, and reactions are the seeds we plant that turn into our future. The following are the seeds of pure potentiality. Conscious, yet relaxed attention to these things will put you on a path of abundance, and bliss.

Today I will sit alone in meditation and commune with nature by watching a sunset, listening to the ocean or simply smelling a flower.

Today I shall judge nothing that occurs and remind myself throughout the day not to judge myself.

Today I will give and receive to everyone I come in contact with. Something as simple and effortless as a compliment, a flower, my support, affections, appreciation, happiness, laughter and encouragement. And I will receive all the gifts life has to offer me; nature, sunlight and be open to receiving from others.
 
Today I will make a change in each moment. I will bring my actions into conscious awareness. I will ask myself what are the consequences of my choices. Will they bring happiness and fulfillment to me and to others that may be affected by my choices? Then I will ask my heart for guidance, and make my choices based on the message of comfort or discomfort.

Today I will harness the forces of joy, and love to create success and good fortune with effortless ease.

Today I will practice acceptance of people, situations, circumstances and events as they occur, not as I would like them to be.

Today I will take responsibility for my situation, and for all those events I see as problems, as I realize that every problem is an opportunity in disguise. I will transform it into greater benefit, relinquishing my need to defend my point of view and will remain open to others views, not rigidly attached to any one view.

Today I will introduce intention into the fertile ground of my energy, pure potentiality and creativity, and let the infinite organizing power of the Universe work for me.

Today I will make a list of all my desires and carry it with me wherever I go. I will look at it when I go into my silence, before going to bed and first thing in the morning. I will release these desires, surrendering them to the Universe, trusting that if things don’t go the way I think they should that there is a reason.

Today I will remind myself to practice present moment awareness, refusing to allow obstacles to consume or dissipate the quality of my attention in the present moment. I will accept the present as it is, and manifest the future through my deepest, most cherished intentions and desires.

Today I will commit myself to detachment. I will allow myself and those around me the freedom to be as they are. I will not rigidly impose my idea of how things should be. I will not force solutions on problems, thereby creating new ones. I will participate in everything with detached involvement.

Today I will nurture myself. I will make a list all the things I love to do while expressing my unique talents. I will ask myself how I can serve and help my fellow human beings.

Today I will not struggle.
