Look at your life as a beautiful fabric woven from wonderful rich colours and
fine cloth. Make a plan, one that is full of obtainable goals for a happy life. Read
through the plan daily so that it becomes a permanent part of your thought process.

Today's Meditation:
For some reason, most of us go through life without ever really
having any sort of plan at all. We have no plans in place for advancing
in our careers, no plan in place for improving our relationships (or even
maintaining them), no plan in place for reaching goals that are important to
us. But when it comes to a vacation or a party or a dinner, we'll plan
out every minute detail, and we'll be greatly satisfied when our plans come to
a successful result.
There are many, many things that we can plan that don't involve other
people. We can plan to read a certain number of books on a topic that's
related to our careers by a certain date. We can plan to do something
kind for someone, somewhere, each day of the week. We can create a plan
that should lead to a promotion, based on quantifiable criteria. We can
plan ways to make sure that we have money in the bank for times when we need
it.
The fabric of our lives is created thread by thread, but most of us use
whatever thread happens to be lying around, without really thinking of ways to
find brighter, more colorful, more durable threads. When we make our
plans an integral part of who we are, then we'll be finding and using threads that
will give us those rich, wonderful colors that will make our lives something
beautiful to regard from any perspective.
Doing so does take a plan, though, and it takes a lot of effort to stick to our
plans. We can be sure, though, that the best fabric comes from the best
materials, and we go about creating those materials each day of our lives.

Questions to consider:
What kind of fabric are you creating--rich with deep and vibrant colors,
or just another generic fabric that doesn't take much effort?
How can you create a plan that will help you to make of your life a very rich
and deep fabric?
What's the difference between people who take whatever threads happen to be
lying around and those who make sure that they create rich and colorful threads
for their fabric?

For further thought:
The tapestry of life continues to be woven. Occasionally a
chance arises to repair an older, tattered piece of the weave.
Something happens to jolt our awareness back in time to an
event that resulted in tears and rips. With new, more mature
vision, we see the circumstances in present time and have
compassion for the unclear events of the past. While the new
experience is being woven into the design, the old rip is
simultaneously being repaired. All is well.
