Every morning is really a fresh, new beginning to live life according to your values. In the last couple of months I have developed a ritual of doing a short meditation before getting out of bed followed by setting myself an intention for the day ahead. This habit is really helping me to feel grateful for this gift called life and to believe in hope and renewal. How do you begin your day and what impact does this have on you?

Chance

This gift called life’s a one of chance

To channel energy

No matter what the circumstance

Humility’s the key

The day begins and I breathe in

An open, waiting chapter

I have the choice to sink or swim

Live flatly or with rapture

And so I pray as I advance

To spend mine meaningfully

This gift called life’s a one of chance

To channel energy

If you would…
