ADVANTAGE OCCASION
I will rejoice and give thanks today for
the many opportunities I encounter.
I relish the order of life, and savor the stillness that I find.
I experience each moment, each hour, and each day
with the assurance of serenity.
No matter what took place yesterday, today, or tomorrow;
I am secure in my spiritual awareness.
No person, place, or thing can stop me
from getting joy out of life.
Every situation confirms a deeper understanding
that obstacles are only stepping stones.
My determination, imagination, and creativity are limitless.
I will open up to keener insights and sharper intuitions.
I am nurtured by the love, truth, and wisdom of the Spirit. I have a deep faith
that I can turn my problems into opportunities for growth, fulfillment, and influence.
