Today is a new day, and it is up to you what you make of it. Your first waking thoughts can colour the whole day. They can be happy, positive thoughts or miserable, negative ones. Never be influenced by outer conditions--by the weather, for example. It can be pouring with rain, but if your heart is filled with love and gratitude, your whole attitude will be of sunshine and blue skies. Do you see what a tremendous responsibility rests upon your shoulders? Life is what you make it, so never blame anyone else for the state you are in, but know that it is of your own making. Change your attitude and you can change your whole outlook. Adopt a constructive attitude towards life. Build up the very best from what you see all around you, and ignore the rest; give it no life force and it will disappear. Wait upon Me this day in quietness and confidence, and know that this day has My blessings.
