Morning resolve (a daily meditation honoring all faiths)

For waking me up this morning, thank you God, Universe, Mother Nature, Father Time.

In gratitude, I shall live as an instrument of peace: a simple, sincere and serene life, repelling every thought of discontent, anxiety and discouragement. I shall cultivate cheerfulness, compassion, and the habit of holy silence, only speaking words that are true, necessary, and kind. I shall exercise economy in expenditure, generosity in giving, diligence in appointed service, fidelity to every trust, and a childlike faith in God.

I shall remain dedicated in the habits of prayer, meditation, work, study, physical exercise, eating, and sleep. Where there is hatred within, I shall sew love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.

I shall not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, or to be loved as to love; for it's in giving that we receive, it's in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it's by letting go of the concept of a separate self, that we are born to eternal life.
