"Stay Composed"

No matter what obstacles come your way today remember to stay composed. Do not become unglued! Do not give into the urge to come out of your place of peace! Keep a watch over your words and choose them carefully. From the start of this day until it finishes be determined to to stay composed. You may notice quite a bit falling apart around you, the key is, for you to stay together. This can be achieved if you write a little note to yourself, keep a mental note, or rehearse it in your mind that you will remain composed on today. Treat your inner being well by giving calming and gracious responses. "Stay Composed!"

"Pace Yourself"

Try not to rush into the day but rather pace yourself. Take your time doing things on today even when it comes to your thoughts.  Try avoiding the tendency to rush or hurrying through your day.  Take deep full breaths and tell yourself, "don't get anxious instead, slow down and take it all in."  There's no need in rushing through the day and then at the end wonder where the day went? You can have a successful and productive day just by pacing it. Keep in mind how important it is to take your time and keep yourself calm as you go throughout the day.

"Choose Peace"

It doesn't matter what is going on around you today; your goal is to remain calm. Keep the peace within and don't let it loose, "not for one moment." Do not allow any negative forces to invade or disrupt your inner sanctuary. Be careful not to give your energy over to things that steal time from your day. Instead, reflect on the progress your are making in becoming a more peaceful person. Try giving yourself over to things that are worth your time. As you go throughout the day, remind yourself to keep all distractions where they belong, on the outside. 

"Seek Opportunities"

You can go as far as you want to on today. Nothing can hinder your pursuit for peace. Nothing can stymie your passion or slow down your progress in achieving the best possible outcomes. Give your mind the benefit of superior thoughts; give your emotions the benefit of positive feelings; and give your spirit the benefit of calming reflections. Some people tend to wait to see what the day will hold or look like before attempting their hand at something great. Today is yours and claim it as yours. Don't wait for opportunities; go after them! 

"What are you Expecting?"

Most of the time we get very little out of our days because we expect very little. We have two choices, we can approach the day with great expectancy or we can treat it as just another day? We can be hopeful that something positive, promising, and productive will happen or we can go through the motions counting the minutes until the day is over? We can be grateful for another day of life or we can take life for granted, as if we were supposed to wake up this morning? When we walk into a room we can light it up with our presence or we can bring a dark cloud over it? Don't wait for positive feelings to knock at your door; carry them with you out of the door right into all of the environments that you go into. Now you get going on today and expect good things to happen!

"A Quality Day"

Do you have your tasks at hand for today? Do you plan to check things off as you complete them? How much are you scheduled to complete on today? It is good to have your day planned and know exactly what you intend to do. However, try thinking about the quality of your day in addition to the quantity of it. The quality is how your day transpires as you are completing each task. Are you smiling? Do you have a sense of inner peace? Are you enjoying your relationships? Did you get a sense of satisfaction in how you handled things? All of those are questions that reflect on the quality of your day. As you go down your list of to do's why not make having a quality day your top priority?
