Every moment we are making choices, forming the outcome of the following moment - choice to choice, moment to moment.

And at this time of year, celebrating the fall season with a 'thanksgiving day' we have the choice to take our attitude of appreciation and extend it into every day to come - insuring a more joyful approach to life - a 'heaven' on earth.

We create our future reality from the choices we make right now. And, at any moment we can improve our future, by making choices for the greatest good now.

As adults, we are each in-charge of ourselves, and our choices are ever our own. Even if we delegate, rather than state our choice - the delegation becomes our choice.

Therefore, we are ever responsible for the outcome of our choices, and we are responsible for our actions. No other person or circumstance or thing makes choices for us that we have not agreed to. Because we are responsible and in control of our moments, we have the power to create a heaven for ourselves while still on earth.

The choice for 'heaven' when we follow the prodding of our conscience - which we know we are doing, when the thought of what we want to do or go ahead and do, leaves our body feeling relaxed and easeful. The choice for 'heaven' when we live a harmless life - free of abuse to our own body and others. The choice for 'heaven' when we consider choices for the greater or lesser good, and go with what would cause the greater good.

The outcome of choices for the greater good allows us to experience our 'heavenly state' because our mind, being at peace, and our body, remaining relaxed, get to enjoy their natural state of harmony and balance. And when we are peaceful and relaxed with our decisions and their subsequent actions, we say that we feel heavenly.

Being rich or being poor, any circumstance we may find ourselves born into is but a starting point for the future moments we can create for ourselves from this moment forward, by being good ourselves and acting for the greatest good in each ever-new situation in living.
