a deep sense of awareness about who you are and why you're here it comes from
being in touch with on a regular basis the appreciation and the holy gratitude
that should fill each of our hearts on a regular basis just knowing what a
privilege it is to be here and to be human close your eyes for a moment will
you please and breathe with me just close your eyes and if you will put your
thumb to your middle finger and gather your other fingers around and let's feel
the vibration and pulse of your personal energy as you take three deep breaths
with me inhale and as you exhale just feel the vibration energy blood
pulsating through your body through you and another inhale
and another inhale and keep your eyes closed and let's just think about this
day
this day that you have been graced to breathe in and out thousands of times
this day where many of those breaths were taken for granted you just expected
the next one to come but the truth is there's no guarantee that the next one
comes this day how you started your day what your thoughts were this morning how
you've carried yourself through this day
how you've been allowed to have encounters and experiences some
challenging some more life enhancing that pushed you forward another day of
being here on the planet Earth as a human being I just think about that
after all you've been through and this day alone and the many days and years
passed how you got here to this prestigious esteemed University the
choices you made that have brought you to this day
open your heart
and quietly to yourself say the only prayer that's ever needed thank you
thank you thank you
you're still here and you get another chance this day to
do better and be better another chance to become more of who you were created
and what you were created to fulfill thank you amen
open your eyes that's how it starts that is the foundation for meaning and
purpose in your life is to bring yourself back to your breath in all
situations in all ways and all challenges to know that the value of
just still being here matters it's really big that you're here it's really
big because everybody here has been called from the ethers to do the will to
fulfill the highest expression of yourself as a human being and to do that
in truth
