Each morning we awake, we have a choice. Will we let the circumstances of our life determine the level of joy and gratitude we feel that day or will joy and gratitude flow simply from the gift of the day?

Some days have more challenges than others yet how we perceive those challenges determines whether they are unmanageable burdens or opportunities and invitations to love.

Choosing love is always more relaxing—and rewarding. Today, with every challenge you face, stop for a moment to ask yourself what you’d do if fear didn’t matter: if you only chose from a place of love.

And remember: thoughts become actions, actions become habits, habits determine character, character determines destiny. So today, choose love.
