To thinking about the past or jumping ahead to the future...when I should be living in the present moment! 

On another note, I love the positive answers that are showing up in all the responses.   How wonderful!

I wish I could say my own...but my instinct is to say my mother's.  No matter what life throws at her, she is anchored in the joy of living--a quite, serene, radiant joy that is there at her core.  I'm striving for that!

I also admire Mother Teresa...and St. Teresa of Avila.  And the adventurous, artistic side of me yearns to live the life of an "artistic wanderer" like Loreena McKennitt or Paulo Coehlo. 

Elegant souls.  People who choose to live with integrity, to be their authentic selves and who have the ability to stand up for themselves, living in alignment with their values. 

I would like my intuition to be real to me.  Oftentimes it whispers to me, but I don't always listen.  Learning to trust my intuition is key to learning to trust myself.  I want my intuition to be my compass in life. 

A deep, palpable, contented sense of peace.  Inner serenity.  And most important of all, freedom from fear.  What would a world full of fearlessness be like? 

To pause, breathe, and respond to each situation with love and compassion.  To cultivate inner peace by observing my emotions, my thoughts which rise and fall and flit about like so many darting fireflies. To remain focused.  To be open.  To develop an inner sense of joy.  To say "yes!"
