If Only

“The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them.”― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

“I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now.”― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

If only we held the present fully and completely.
If only we saw overflowing abundance and light.
If only we moved out in love and bypassed fear.
If only we laughed often, danced with abandon.
If only, why not is our first response.
To turning if only into YES! and…
New day, new way.
One single thought at a time, renewed and ready.
Choose a different path, arrive at a different destination.
May joy, peace, laughter, trying, ease be your path today, if only.

“When each day is the same as the next, it’s because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises.”― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
