Your presence in this  life is a present to the world and a gift to the
universe. You are unique.  Your joys and your sorrows are known to differing degrees by all who are a  part of the sea of humanity.

Even as we experience  things individually there are common themes in the collective main of all  that it is to be human.

Though you may, at  times, feel quite alone, you are not really alone. It is when we feel this  way the most that we must search the hardest for meaningful connection. 

Your presence is  requested and required firstly by and for yourself. Connect to yourself in  an open, honest, reflective and purposeful way. Be there for yourself.  Know that you can cope with whatever comes your way. 

Life is unfolding as it  should. You are learning what you need to know.

Your presence is desired  by others too. Be careful who you decide to actually let know you. The  healthier we are the healthier our choices will be. You have the right to  pick and choose who you give the richness of your unique presence and  heartfelt emotion to. Choose wisely.

Being present for  ourselves, meeting our own needs, finding our own inner-joy and  inner-peace is the mechanism and the gateway by or through which we can  find the answers that we so long to find and know. 

Those answers are within  you. Count your blessings, not your troubles. Don't keep a running account  of your pain. Forgive yourself your mistakes and forgive others their  trespasses. Reflect on the increasing peace you can find the more you  fully bring your presence to each and every moment of each unfolding day. 

Your presence requires  of you that you do ordinary things in your own unique and extraordinary  way.

Your presence and  essence are both strong. You are courageous. You bring to each unfolding  minute all the understanding that your past experiences crossed your path  to teach you.

Choose to be wise. Apply  your wisdom. Take each day one at a time. Be present. Be aware. Don't step  in the same ditch twice.

Your presence is  valuable, worthy, lovable. The more you believe in your presence the less  you will throw your personal power away on trying to be right.


Your presence is neither  right nor wrong. It is a unique contribution, as are you, to this life, to  the world and to the universe. Embrace and celebrate that.

Your Presence
"The more reasons you  have for achieving your goal, the more determined you will become." 
Brian Tracy
The universe is so vast in relation to the matter it contains that it can be compared in the following way: A building 20 miles long, 20 miles wide and 20 miles high that contains 1 grain of sand.
