By showing up we begin to gain momentum toward our ultimate purpose. Though the concept may seem simple we sometimes allow fear to keep us from taking the modest risk of just being where we are supposed to be. Everyone at one time or another will find themselves rattled by the idea of rejection or failure. However, there is grace and elegance in just showing up. Results of our actions are out of our control, but with every outcome, we receive the gift of discovering the next right action. The only failure in our lives occurs when we fail to try.
At times we let our past dictate our outlook on the possibilities that lie within us at any given moment. We may perceive certain disappointments in our lives as reasons quit or define them as unsuccessful. Our own individual truth lies in our hearts and when we discover the passion that drives us, there will always be another open door. We will find redemption in every lesson learned and have the ability to redirect ourselves at any given time. Trust our impulses and accept any and all results with faith that we are on course toward freedom, happiness and joy. Have faith that our biggest dreams will be attained by simply SHOWING UP.

Shared Happiness
Our true and unconditional happiness must come from within. Many times we find ourselves searching for joy outside of anything we can control. There will be times in our lives when things don't seem to go according to our plan and the tendency is to cast blame instead of searching within ourselves for a solution. A great delight in life is learning from our past mistakes and accepting the absolute fact that we are not perfect. As we attempt to stay in each moment with the mind set that we are moving toward our own purpose, we will then be able to share the happiness that lies within each of us.
We will not find happiness in material belongings, living to other peoples expectations or even finding it in other people. When we are able to walk with certainty that happiness comes from our own independent hearts, we will be able to share that with others. There is an abundance of greatness to share in the world and we can find it by being grateful and not casting blame on the past or worrying about a future that we can't see. In this moment we can all find joy in the air we breathe, the visions we see and the sounds we hear. We will have magical moments when we share our happiness and take in the joy of everyone surrounding us.

Unique Gifts
Each of us have unique gifts that can touch the souls of others. Letting our passion be alive inside our heart lets us move freely, giving off energy that may inspire and provoke others to let their passion take them to the place they really want to go. When we step back and see ourselves in the world around us we will discover our sense of purpose and confidently provide it to others. There is beauty in realizing the abundant gifts in everyone that surrounds us and allowing their energy to feed our deepest hope.
Our energy can fuel each other just as water and soil feed the earths fantastic flowers, the sun reflects off the ocean and wind allows eagles to soar high above mountains. When we are truly taking in everyone and everything around us, our intuition gets replenished constantly by the source that guides us. We can see in the eyes of a child the curiosity and innocence that allows us to dream. The wisdom of those that have come before us gives us the opportunity to grow. The warm smile and embrace of an old friend lets us feel alive in any given moment. Dance today to music that moves your soul, hold the door for a stranger and enjoy a deep joyful laugh with someone. Most importantly, let us share all of our UNIQUE GIFTS and drive each other toward our dreams.

T.A.M.I.
Imagination frees our souls, allows us to see above limitations and beyond the perceptions our minds have been programmed to display. Beneath the surface of everything and everyone we encounter is an amazing source of possibilities. Many of us are nurtured to believe certain things and become adept at following the "rules" given to us by outside beliefs that may not be in our hearts. Within all of us is an opportunity to soar beyond the limits of the familiar and toward our greatest dreams.
No matter what our passion is, each of us can create new and exciting ways to achieve our bliss by allowing ourselves to be open to any and all possibilities. The journey begins now, walk self assured following our instincts and we will find that each step brings us the potential of a new and dazzling discovery. A curious child's first step is followed by many stirring moments of revelation. Our greatest artwork was created on a blank canvas with one single stroke of a brush, on it's way to becoming a masterpiece. Breathtaking structures begin with a great vision and a first brick. Our potential is limitless when we TRUST ALL MAGICAL INSTINCTS.

Unrelenting Hope
There are times in our lives when we will be disabled by fear, we will worry too much about circumstances beyond our control. Our choices undoubtedly become hindered when we act out of the disillusionment that we are the power that controls the conditions which surround us. Our fear blocks us from our greatest good and forces us into self involvement, pity, greed and destruction. The great news is that in learning to let go, it is within each of us to stay in motion with The Universe and pass on to each other hope that is unrelenting.
Letting go of fear begins with finding FAITH that our strength derives from within our hearts and is directly related to all that is happening in the world around us. Our minds can be free, we can find joy, we will see the light through the pouring rain and our souls will be soothed by the fantastic belief that we are part of a wonderful mystery. At the times when we feel that we just can not handle ourselves, let us get lost in everything that makes us feel alive. Warm smiles, sunflowers, curiosity in a child's eyes, white beaches, green rolling hills and music that inspires us. Fear can be defeated but HOPE IS UNRELENTING

Dance Naked
Our most crippling fear is that of letting go. As we learn to turn our focus on understanding ourselves instead of blaming others, we begin the always evolving process of staying in the moment. We can start imagining in this moment, the conditions in our lives that will allow us to feel whole and useful on our journey. We must learn to accept our past to move on and realize that the results of tomorrow are out of our control. Our only requirement is to lovingly respond to our circumstances in this moment. Know for certain, that within all of us is the ability control our lives RIGHT NOW.
Let us begin to cultivate our trust in God and ourselves by letting go of the past and stop assuming what comes next. We can start taking action right now that will allow us to feel alive and leave our past behind. Write a short poem, give away something we cherish to someone that could use it more, dance naked in the living room, reach out to an old friend or simply get a stranger to smile. We must not be afraid to live and we can't do that yesterday or tomorrow, we only have this minute. We can begin to manifest our biggest dreams beginning NOW.

Simplicity
Let us find simplicity in all that we do, creating the most direct route to our bliss. There are no such things as obstacles, only stepping stones toward our great purpose. We can find the most wonderful rewards in many of the things we take for granted. Warm sunshine on our face, air to breathe and the imagery of our most vivid daydreams.
By keeping our lives simple and accepting the world around us we can begin the process of change. There is a certain beauty in changing the things we can, adjusting to the outside by focusing on what drives our inside desires. Each day we can make tiny little adjustments by consciously allowing ourselves to do something different. Change up our route on daily activities, left shoe before the right, we can wear our watch on the opposite wrist for one day, listen to music that we have never heard or read a book instead of watching television. The simplicity in these changes allows us to stay in motion with the consistently
evolving Universe, opening up new and exciting pathways on our journey. We will open up the doors to new freedoms and discoveries while teaching ourselves to accept whatever may come our way. Let's keep it simple and watch in awe as our dreams really do come true.

Humility and Usefulness
Let us attempt to see ourselves in everything and everyone around us. We will soon discover a humility and usefulness that allows us to soar freely and in harmony on life's wonderful excursion. To pass judgement or gossip about others is poison to ourselves and all that is wonderful about GOD's artwork. Each of us has a specific purpose and it is possible to see the good in what we perceive as bad and the bad in what we perceive as good. Humility and usefulness enters our lives when we are willing to CHANGE our perceptions and adjust to the constant flow of the Universe.
Though we can't change the world by ourselves, we certainly have it within us to change the way we view the world around us. No matter where we are on our journey, as long as there is air in our lungs and the slightest bit of imagination in our hearts, we can begin to steadily move toward our purpose. Empathize instead of judging, see ourselves in all of of Earth's fantastic miracles and make time each day to be thankful for every breath we take. Let us find humility in knowing that we are but a small piece of an amazing mystery. We will be useful to everyone and everything that surrounds us by walking confidently toward our dreams and allowing others to do the same.

LISTEN
One of the great gifts that we often take for granted is the ability to listen. When we forget to step back, take in and hear what is going on around us, all we are doing is adding to the confusion stirring within ourselves and quite possibly everyone and everything around us. We should try to remember that in the grand scheme of things, what we have to say does not always help the situations arising in and around our lives. However, we will find peace in letting everything unfold as it is supposed to and understanding that answers come to us in many forms just by being able to listen.
Often times we get caught up "knowing" or believing we have to control our destiny. Words will not dissolve our past and certainly have no bearing on what the future might bring. We are capable of more by knowing less, by empathizing rather than being "wise" and learning before teaching. We can be more useful by hearing what others have to say than we can by giving information out of fear that we do not have the answers. Listen intently to those that have come before us, heed the curiosity of a child and allow music to give us freedom. We can find a piece of heaven in the sounds of waves crashing, raindrops on the window sill and birds chirping in the morning. Let us learn to listen and we will discover the inner voice that guides us in the direction of our dreams.

DRIFT AWAY
There are times in our lives when we will not understand the things we feel, just hold on because beyond the pouring rain there is light. Within all of us there is hope to be found and joy to hold on to. Even when there seems to only be a thread of inspiration to grab, don't let go and be sure that every storm passes and there will always be light to shine brightly upon us. In the wondrous Universe there are countless gifts of reliance that will allow us to free our souls from despair in any given moment.
Let us trust in the love of others, music that moves us, visions we see, sounds we hear and our own bliss. Right now all things are happening for reasons we may never comprehend, the beauty of this is that we simply do not need to understand it. Each of us can learn to stay in the flow of the moment, to let go of our past and handle whatever the future may bring. Knowing for sure that all we have is this instant, we may start building a life beyond our wildest dreams. There is no better way of finding hope than giving it away to everyone and everything around us. Flash a smile to a stranger without expectations, dance around freely, hug someone you love unexpectedly and let us allow our light to shine. Leap confidently into life's flowing river and we will be free to DRIFT AWAY toward our dreams.

Rely on the MYSTERY
When we rely on the MYSTERY, we will find that all things unfolding around us are a constant source of inspiration and enlightenment. We truly have no idea which way the wind will take us or the opportunities that will come to us in every situation of our lives. Our best course of action is to confidently believe in our purpose and create new and exciting ways of fulfilling it by trusting our instincts and allowing The Universe to take us to that place we really want to go. We must be humble enough to know that our only power comes in the form of the action we take, the results are a wonderful mystery.
Walk on, with self assurance toward the passion that drives us and let us adjust accordingly to all of the situations life puts in our path. Learn from mistakes as well as successes, take tiny risks that will make us feel alive and trust the process of the ever changing world around us. We can leave behind our past while holding onto the memories that have taught us that we must keep on going. We can believe in a future that will bring smiles to our faces and LOVE in our hearts. However, it is right now, this instant when we can know for certain that flowers are blooming, children are glowing with curiosity, nights will turn to days and we are part of the great puzzle. Right now, we all have command of our next action, take it without fear and rely on the MYSTERY.
