Namaste my friend,

Welcome to this Thursday morning meditation.

We will start by first giving gratitude to the fact that we are alive today and we have a chance to live life fully again.

Hundreds and thousands of people have not woken up today but we are lucky to be alive and well compared to millions of others or perhaps even billions of others.

Just take a few moments to quietly give thanks to your body,

Mind,

Soul and our creator for giving us the gift of life today.

Yesterday was wetness day.

Three days of the week have gone by.

They might have been great,

Terrible or a mixed bag.

Whatever they wear,

They are gone today.

Today is a new day and today may not be the same at all or it just might.

But you can be a better person today.

You can bring up the qualities inside you that can make today's life experience so much better than what it was before.

You can equip yourself now to handle the challenges better.

What qualities do you require to handle your challenges better?

Identify them and bring them up from within you so you have the resources to fight this Thursday much better than any other day before.

Do you need more courage?

Do you need more strength?

Perhaps more wisdom or even perhaps humour?

What qualities do you require to handle your challenges better?

Think about them.

You can also equip yourself now to handle your successes better.

You might be wondering why should I handle my success better?

I am already successful there.

But in the larger scheme of things,

We need to balance ourselves out.

We need qualities that will help us deal with our success better.

Identify them.

Bring them up so you have the resources to handle your successes better.

Do you need more vulnerability,

Humility,

Magnanimity,

Love,

Empathy,

Compassion?

What do you need which will make your success a success for everybody around you so together you are all successful?

Let us also look at how to equip ourselves to handle our failures better.

What qualities do you need to deal with your failure in a better manner?

Identify them,

Bring them up so you have the resources to fight your failures better.

This Thursday,

Today,

Do you need more learning,

More knowledge,

Perhaps strength,

More resources or a better attitude?

All of these qualities are already inside of you.

You just need to tap in and bring it up for every situation where it is appropriate.

Seek them within you.

Think of those who are able to exhibit these qualities in similar circumstances.

Maybe these are people who inspire you,

Who you look up to.

Channel these qualities if they have it.

You could also have it inside you.

Look within and you will find it.

Take action to bring up these qualities to the surface and deploy them whenever required.

You can do this by imagining the situation and visualizing yourself dealing it in the right manner with the right qualities.

Reset the way you remember how you deal with these situations.

Activate it in a manner which makes you happy about yourself and those around you.

Today is a new day.

Today a new you is going to show up,

A more prepared you,

A more equipped you.

We are just half way through this week.

Completed three working days.

Probably you will have two or perhaps three more.

Repeat these sentences after me aloud or silently.

Let's start these affirmations.

I am ready for today.

I have all the resources to show up as the best version of myself.

I am strong and vulnerable.

I am courageous and empathetic.

I am wise and an empty vessel ready to learn.

I am persistent and relentless in living as the best version of myself.

I am committed to becoming the best version of myself today.

I can improve,

I will improve and I am improving every day.

Each situation brings out the best in me.

No one can belittle me or put me on a pedestal.

I am balanced.

I know my strengths and my weaknesses.

They balance me out and make me human.

I love who I am and I love who I am becoming every single day.

I forgive easily and I give thanks easily too.

Life is too short to be lived in hate,

Fear,

Jealousy or vengeance.

Life can be filled instead with love,

Courage,

Compassion,

Empathy,

Forgiveness and gratitude.

I will fill my life with love,

Courage,

Vulnerability,

Strength,

Forgiveness,

Gratitude and resilience.

My life is a blessing to me and to all those who I encounter today.

My family,

My friends,

My community,

My co-workers and all those who I bump into today.

I turn every moment into a moment where I am in flow with the universe.

I respond with a pause under the most appropriate manner that strengthens me and the other person.

We are all equal and we all have the same challenges or similar challenges in this world.

Together we can prevail over anything that can show up today.

Just take a few moments to visualize what qualities you are going to make your own today.

Let's stop the affirmations now and take a few moments to visualize what qualities you are going to make your own today.

Think of how every situation is going to turn out the way you would like it today.

Today is your day.

You will prevail and you will make a difference for the better.

In your life,

In the life of others who you will encounter today,

Go forth and live your life fully.

Let your inner light shine forth.

May God bless you my love.

May your soul be on song today and may the force be with you.

Namaste my friend.
