Trust the Voice

Let us trust the voice that tells us to simply try something new and understand that no matter the results, we will gain more insight. It is those that chase dreams that are most likely to catch them. By allowing ourselves to take tiny risks each day we will discover our passion and be able to trust all that has been unseen until this point. One of the most simple risks we can take at any moment is to admit that we do not have the answers or truly know what the results will be. Many of us have been taught that we "control our destiny" and out of fear we tend to go along trying to adhere to the outside influences in our lives. True freedom comes from following our own instincts and intuitions, creating our own path and being grateful for every opportunity to discover what makes us tick. Our individual passion can't be seen, but it is certainly living and calling us from our souls. Each day, let us begin to listen to that voice within and trust that by taking action, the results will be magnificent.

Sometimes we are afraid to follow our passion out of fear of feeling selfish. This can cause us to self destruct or feel empty inside. The simple fact is that if we are true to our own calling we are better able to serve everyone and everything around us. The moment we discover our true desire we can begin to walk confidently knowing that we are allowing others to do the same. We will become in tune with the forever changing world around us, more tolerant of others, better lovers, live with a clearer purpose and self assured in each of our actions. We each have a voice, an inner fervor that can and will deliver to us to that place we really want to go. Simply trust our instincts and enjoy the journey.

Embrace the Connection

Embrace the connection of everything and everyone surrounding us. Many times we get wrapped up in the constant battle of our minds. We worry about where we'll be and what we will do tomorrow, reliving past mistakes and holding on to all that we can't control. All of our past moments began with a moment of right now and each moment in our future will begin the same way. Right now rivers are continuing on their path, tiny seeds are sprouting to become brilliant golden sunflowers, people are continuing with their lives every day and unmistakable miracles are happening everywhere.

We are all connected in some way to Universal Energy that stays in constant motion. Moment to moment and day by day we can choose to become in tune with everything and everyone surrounding us. We will feel useful, reliable and confident on our journey by being aware of our greatest good. There is absolutely no reason for us to feel inadequate, that stems from our true fear of being dynamic. In this moment we can have the courage to direct our thoughts to being mighty carriers of miracles. We can step out of our past and accept anything the future may bring simply be embracing the connection. We are all pieces of a mystery that is consistently changing, stay connected and be great in this moment.

Support

We are surrounded by support and have permission to follow our dreams wherever they may lead. As we consistently look within ourselves for the greatness that is in our souls, we may take the little chances in life that will make us feel alive. We can be assured that we are never alone and let go of the fear that binds us in order to give the best of ourselves today. Faith is real, as it comes from our hearts and souls. Fear is a false sense of our minds created by a past that is long gone and a future that we have no control over. In this moment we have the power to imagine, forgive, hope and let our light shine with honesty and integrity. When we are true to ourselves we will walk confidently inspiring others to the same.

We should never let our individual fears drive us to self involvement, dishonesty and hurting others. Everyone has a past and apprehensions of what tomorrow may bring. When we understand this we will become wiser and more accepting of everyone. When we look within ourselves and take our own fears with us on our exciting journey, we will be enlightened and more accepting of our own stuff. We will discover a sense of support and understanding that allows us to avail ourselves to anything and anyone that crosses our path. Right now, let us approve of ourselves and find within us the freedom to love, follow dreams and support each other. Our individual paths may cross with many others at certain times, they may choose to walk side by side with us in any given moment. Continue to walk self assured and be willing to let others walk along side of us, for there will certainly be times we will need to walk along side someone else. Follow our dreams wherever they may lead and be aware that we are never alone.

Individual Truth

The truth sets us free and unlocks an infinite amount of possibilities in our lives. Each of us carry within ourselves certain fears, past resentments and burdens of an unknown future that may cause us to disengage from our greatest good. Through all of the darkness that cripples us at times, there is a shining light that can illuminate everything and everyone around us. We are safe and we can begin to make the changes in our lives that will allow us to soar freely and unconditionally into a place of freedom and bliss. Our existence is not measured by the possessions we accumulate or positions we attain, but by the lives we touch positively. By letting go of our past and consistently moving in the direction of a life that allows us to feel alive, we will discover within ourselves the truths that sets us free.

The absolute perfection of The Universe is induced by each of our imperfections. We should not judge, hurt, or turn away anyone or anything without looking at ourselves first. As we find the courage to change within our own hearts we can walk self assured and allow for others to walk their own path. We do not have to take with us the mistakes we have made in the past or any harm others may have caused us. We can always keep in mind that after every violent storm there is the calm of a perfect day, beyond the deep dark of night is the sun ready to rise and after every drought rivers will flow once again. While each of us walk confidently toward our dreams we will learn to forgive, let go and avail ourselves to anything and anyone. It is inside each of us to illuminate the world around us, when we do we are giving permission for others to do the same. Little by little lets change the things we can and consistently search for our individual truth. The possibilities are limitless and we will be free to carry each other toward our dreams.

Shift Toward Giving

We will gain astonishing results within ourselves by simply shifting our thoughts toward giving. Many times we wrap ourselves up in what we are trying to accomplish or what we are looking to receive. We may be frustrated and filled with the fear that we will not get what we are searching for. It is then that we may take a step back to regroup ourselves and reach out to someone else. When we realize that all of our wants and desires can and will be achieved in the time they are supposed to, we can then focus on turning ourselves over to offer love and support to others. We can accomplish much by trying less and giving more of the gifts we each have to offer.

Some of us may ask, "How can I give when I don't have anything to offer?". The simple truth is that each of us have unique qualities and an ability to listen. We will find that our experience may benefit someone else going through situations that we have faced. By listening we could discover that we may share similar hopes and dreams with someone else. At any moment we can share a confident smile with a stranger, taking each other away from ourselves and jump starting our day. There is complete joy in helping a child learn to walk or ride a bike and we will find inspiration in the way they keep getting up after they fall. A simple call to an old friend may come to them the exact moment that they need to break free of their own fears and anxiety. We need not delay the gift of giving because the action keeps us in constant flow with the world around us. Let us be grateful and take pleasure in all of the gifts that we possess and remember that there is plenty to share. Shift our thoughts toward giving of ourselves and be astonished at the results within our hearts.

Briskly toward Faith

There is no such thing as failure, we only fail when we neglect our instincts and never try. In our life span we have been taught many different things about what it is we are supposed to be and what we are supposed to do in life. If we look within our hearts we will discover what it is that makes us feel alive, gives us a sense of usefulness and fuels our passion. Right now we can begin to manifest our greatest good to ourselves and the world around us. No matter what has been taught to us up to this point, we are capable of taking risks and shining brightly upon everyone and everything. Our souls have enough energy to light up the grandest cities and pass on hope to anyone that may feel hopeless. Walk briskly toward faith and never be afraid to try.

Our life begins right now, in this moment where we can begin to imagine our most daring and fantastic dreams. One of the great rewards we can find is that our true joy comes from creating the life we imagine and each step of the journey along the way. No matter where we are in this moment we do not have to search far to find wonder and amazement in the wonderful Universe that we are part of. Is the sun shining? Maybe the wind is blowing or rain is falling. As long as we can feel, see, hear and breathe we have a chance move forward toward our dreams. Within each of us is a purpose that allows us to feel alive, be useful to each other and let our imagination feed our passion. Change something in our everyday routine, help a stranger, take a minute to imagine ourselves lying in a bed of sunflowers and take a tiny risk today. Try everything in our hearts and walk briskly toward faith.

Choose to Smile

A smile creates wonders and amazement in the world around us. No matter what has happened in our lives or will happen along our path a smile is universally understood. This simple gesture allows us to go about our journey with confidence. There will be times when we are tormented by our own history, fearing for no reason what has happened yesterday or years ago. If we have learned anything from this it is that we are still here and we have reason to smile. Other times we may feel as though we are stuck and fear for no reason at all what is going to come of us tomorrow or years down the road. In this moment we can take the time to look around and realize we have come this far and have a reason to smile. We can't find joy in yesterday or tomorrow, but we can smile right now at the great memories and the beautiful dreams that lie within us.

Start each morning by saying thanks for the air we breathe, the visions we see, sounds we hear and our desire to love and be loved. Our own unique hopes and dreams can be shared with anyone and everything, not by words, but by a confident smile. A gesture that truly doesn't take much of our own energy can give an enormous amount of strength, freedom, spirit and hope to someone else. A smile is forceful, mysterious, loving, kind and most importantly will keep us in the moment. At any point we can find joy in the tenderness of a mother and child, peace in understanding that we are never alone, freedom in the music that moves our soul and simply realize that right now we have a choice to begin the next part of our journey. We can jump start someone else's day and have our own day take off to new and exciting heights by simply smiling!

FLOWING RIVER

Acceptance is the backbone of creating the life that we imagine. Until this exact moment, our lives have been shaped by a countless number of circumstances, people, events and our own individual perceptions. There is a tremendous amount of joy in discovering within our own hearts the freedom to establish contentment in our lives. We can begin at any moment the process of forgiveness, letting go, changing our perceptions and creating the wonderful life that we desire.The beauty of it is that we never have to stop moving in that direction, because when we discover our bliss the world will open up an abundance of happiness.

It is impossible to know for certain what lies ahead of us, however true freedom is conceived with the thought of letting go of our past. There are no rules that say our background must dictate to us what lies in our hearts and feeds our souls. All around us change is occurring consistently. The very same source of energy that turns frigid winter nights into bright spring afternoons, tiny little seeds into wonderful golden sunflowers and blank canvases into masterful works of art is within each of us. Once we accept where we are in this moment we can begin to personalize our deepest desires and leave our fear behind us. There is no set time in our lives to stop growing and discovering all of the fantastic elements that will make us feel alive. No matter what has occurred in our lifetime, only we can be the change that we desire to find in the world by creating our own unique and individual perceptions. Jump on in to the flowing river of love and happiness, in there we will find new circumstances, people and events that will accompany us toward our biggest dreams.

DAY and NIGHT

Begin every day and finish each night with the simple words THANK YOU. In between these two specific times we can discover a little more about ourselves, visualize our own unique desires and become fascinated by everyone and everything that enters into our lives. When times seem to be a little bit rough it is important to comprehend the idea that by staying in tune with our surroundings, we are actually manifesting serenity in our own hearts. Each day may be filled with a lifetime of wonder and amazement when we are consciously allowing ourselves to be grateful for the splendid gifts all around us.

Each day is truly is a gift- the sights we see, the sounds we hear, each of our individual feelings and the hearts we touch. One of the most difficult actions we can take is to step out of our own world and be a part of life around us. We may feel stuck in moments we can't seem to break free of because life does not seem to be going the way we plan it. When we find it within ourselves to walk self assured toward our purpose we will inevitably be in awe of our surroundings, forgiving, thoughtful of others and confident in the actions we take. Through the pouring rain there is light and an occasional rainbow. Our blue oceans provide us with breathtaking reflections of the sun. We can visualize beds of sunflowers atop rolling green hills. The eyes of a curious child can provide inspiration for us to go and discover something new. We can be fascinated by the hopes and dreams of someone else, allowing ourselves to be stimulated toward our own. Each day and night say THANK YOU and allow into our hearts the beauty that surrounds us and the passion that inspires us and others.

Sing Out loud

We gain courage each time we grab fear by the hand and take it along with us on our journey. Let us embrace the mystery of The Universe each day by staying in the flow of the constantly changing world surrounding us. Each of us have a purpose that exists specifically for ourselves, we can't allow the unknown results of our minds stop us from achieving the experience of freely following our instincts. Each of us individually, can take risks that empower our souls. We will find along the way the people, circumstances and comfort that will support us at every turn. It is not our mission to understand the "why" of life, but to be open and available enough to carry each other with understanding, encouragement and reliance.

When we find ourselves fearful of what might happen or rattled by experience of the past, we can find in this exact moment all of the faith we need to conjure up the courage to move forward. We are breathing, we are feeling and we have the capacity to visualize our own unique joy. Each of us have had and will have occurrences in our lives which seem unbearable at the time, we can find peace and understanding when we realize that we are never alone. It takes just a small amount of courage to redirect ourselves toward faith and to take an action that will free us from our fear. Sing out loud, dance like no one is watching, help someone in need and let us give each other the confidence to smile. Grab fear by the hand and continue on that journey to the place we really want to go.

TOGETHER

There truly is magic in the world. No matter what our past has brought us or what we fear about tomorrow, we must not allow ourselves to disengage from feeling alive right now. Everyone has moments in time when they find themselves rattled with trepidation, self doubt and apprehension about connecting to others and the world that surrounds them. We can learn remarkable facts about ourselves by allowing fear to be our companion on life's exciting adventures. True independence comes to us when we allow ourselves to connect fearlessly to everyone and everything that enters into our lives and our hearts.

One of the most exciting aspects of our lives is connecting with another person. We should allow ourselves the magic and the mystery of linking ourselves to each other. We all are a tiny piece of a giant puzzle and for moments we may interlock at any given time. Let us consciously attempt to open our minds and hearts to the great possibilities, try to quietly do something good for someone. When we set fear aside, we can allow ourselves to be intrigued by the amazing gifts others have to offer. We may see much of ourselves in everyone and they may see some of us in them. Each of us have our own past which we can't change and a future that is uncertain. Let us not spend our time trying to avoid pain at the expense of engaging in life. We are free to follow our dreams wherever they may lead, let us all do this with clarity in our minds, hope in our hearts and TOGETHER.

Sustained Freedom

Without change true freedom can never be sustained. There are times in our lives when we may feel as though we are standing still and resigned to the fact that everything in our lives are going to stay just the way they are. Circumstances of our past may have taught us that we are meant to live up to certain expectations of the world around us. Many of our characteristics, both good and bad have been implanted in us by people and situations which we have never had control of. Our independence derives from allowing our heart to lead us, changing our perceptions and instinctively taking little risks that will make us feel great once we've done them. As we grant ourselves permission to change we will find that the people and circumstances in our lives will fall into place and we will find sustained freedom to carry each other toward our great purpose.

Once we begin to shift our thinking toward being in the constant flow of the Universe we will discover that every person and circumstance in our lives can teach us a little bit about ourselves. When the situation in our life feels stagnant we will discover within ourselves whether we have the courage to redirect ourselves. Pain is often a great motivator in forcing us to point ourselves in another direction. By constantly moving and modifying our thoughts, pain becomes less and solutions become easier. Children will teach us to be curious and we can find wisdom in the elderly when we avail ourselves to different perceptions. We will be able to let go of fear, see the new days ahead with clarity and forgive the people and circumstances of the past by being grateful in this moment. Let us begin changing now in order to sustain our freedom and follow our dreams.

Perfection

Fear and insecurity are most often rooted in our minds while faith and confidence exudes from within our hearts and souls. We often become paralyzed by the idea that we need to be perfect in everything that we do in order to gain acceptance from everyone around us. It is impossible to find contentment by over thinking and over analyzing each of our actions. When we are first accepting of our own imperfections we can then allow ourselves not to judge others and learn to enjoy everyone's unique talent and contributions. There is comfort in understanding that in our perfect Universe we are all fallible. However, when our hearts are in the right place we will discover that our independent growth comes from the mistakes we make and the acceptance of others.

There truly is good in the worst of us- fear and insecurity can bring out the worst in the best of us. Just as we have no power of what the future may bring us or change what the past has done to us, we can't possibly change anyone else. When we begin making changes within ourselves we will find that it possible to walk tall with confidence and let our heart lead us. We will accept the world for what it is and leave the anger, resentment and fear of our minds behind us. Let us do our best to live the right way, give hope to the hopeless, find within our hearts the faith that can take us to that place we really want to go and accept the things we can't change. Find the courage in our hearts and souls to follow our dreams wherever they may lead. Let faith and confidence walk hand in hand from our hearts and enjoy the perfect journey.

Each Day

Each day brings us the elements of a lifetime. As we teach ourselves to live in the day, we can find moments that take our breath away and be in awe of everything we can see, hear and feel. One of the most difficult changes to make in our lives is not taking for granted all of the tiny miracles that occur each day. There may be situations in our lives that we struggle to let go of. At times we may feel as though our future is bleak. The basic rules of the Universe tells us that none of this is true, for our past is gone and there is no future without right now. Take a moment to realize the gifts in our presence this instant.

This day began with a magnificent sunrise that lights up our blue skies and gives off energy to strengthen the weak, deliver hope to the hopeless and give life to each of us. Each breath we take is a gift of the earth's abundant air and allows us the freedom to move in the fluid motion of the world around us. We are all given imagination to create the beauty of our own unique existence and when we give of ourselves we will be consistent with the flow of the Universe. Take time to send a loving message to an old friend, avail ourselves to someone in need- no matter what is going on with our own life, freely dance around with a willing child and hold the door for a stranger. Night will fall upon us and there is magic in the moon and stars. As we lay our heads down we will be ready for the next lifetime to come....bringing us closer to our dreams.

Training Wheels

We will find situations in our lives when it will be necessary to sustain our own inner freedom by reliance on the energy and faith of others. None of us can carry the burden of walking through life's great mystery alone, as situations will occur that seem unbearable. When we allow ourselves to be open and available enough to see outside of ourselves we will discover that each of has the ability to lift the spirit and the hope of someone else. In turn we will realize that we can let ourselves be lifted by the love, hope and spirit of those that surround us. Along our own individual paths we will find a source of guidance through other people. At every turn, let us allow ourselves to carry each other toward our greatest good.

We must realize that we are never alone and none of us should bear the burdens of life or bask in the rewards by ourselves. We can share our spirit at all times simply by reaching out to others with an open mind and a loving heart. It is important to understand that when someone is ready we can be there, but we should never force ourselves into their lives. By walking our own path with confidence, sincerity, trust and hope we allow others to do the same. Just as a child learns to ride a bike with training wheels or to walk with the assistance of a loving hand, we can always support someone that reaches out so long as we know to reach out ourselves. Let us avail ourselves to each other so that our assistance will enable others to chase their dreams.
