OPEN DOORS

This is the moment to leave our troubles behind us and activate our imagination so that we walk briskly toward our dreams. There will be times in our lives when we feel the walls closing in around us, when we fear the unknown and decide to stay locked inside the doubt of our minds. It is possible to be imprisoned by our current circumstances, taking us out of the flow of the world around us. We must know that there is always a door to open and an action to take in order to get back on track. Within each of us is the capacity to open doors and step out into life's mystery; to realize that every chance we take is an opportunity to see something inside ourselves that may be wonderful. There is no reason to be afraid of the world outside and no reason to stay stuck in the moments of life we can't seem to shake. We must know that this time will pass, one tiny risk can catapult us into an exciting new adventure and this moment we can begin to work on our most incredible dreams.

We can start to trust our ability to respond capably and naturally to whatever situations may arise by simply redirecting our thoughts. The two most devastating offenders of our ability to stay in motion are to be crippled by yesterday's regret and fearing what will happen tomorrow. The unmistakable fact is that we have absolutely no control over either of them. In this minute we can begin to achieve confidence by accepting where we are and being grateful for what we possess right now; Air in our lungs, feelings to feel, visions to see, souls to trigger our imagination and hands willing to reach out to us. Faith and love can carry us through anything so long as we are willing to let go of the idea that we need to stay within the walls we have built around us. Let us allow ourselves to open the doors of inner freedom and as we walk through them we will discover the beauty of FAITH, LOVE and FRIENDSHIP. Once more, we will be able to work on the dreams that are brewing within our hearts.
