Decision

to be as conscious a person as my present ability will allow, moment by moment throughout every day from this day forward, because it brings me peace to do so. to be a healthy person so that i can be present with those that i love. to have compassion and patience and kindess for those in my life, no matter if they do or not, or if they expect my being an aware person to mean something other than it does to me. to love others and celebrate with them on our life journeys together and grow together and encourage them to find their joy and to let their joy encourage me to find mine. to wake up each day and think positive thoughts first thing, so i can begin my day with a calm outlook and be ready and relaxed for anything.

i will fall, but i will get up and do it again. and i won't hold onto my failures and punish myself with them, i will embrace my unconscious moments with love and gratitude and learn from my mistakes and move on.

to be Real during all of this, to remain grounded and centered. to do my best.
