Beginnings

Peace within our hearts begins with forgiveness, of others as well as ourselves. Freedom in our souls begins with trusting that the mystery of our lifetime can and will be filled with tiny miracles. A smile that brightens the world around us and within us begins with self reliance. Faith in our wonderful Universe begins with walking through our fears, letting go of the anger, resentment and doubt that our past has taught us. Each of us in one way or another has to deal with life and we can carry each other to places that we dream of. We can be disillusioned by what we have learned, of what we were taught to perceive as perfect and we will never be truly content until our connections are real and we can see the beauty that lies within each of us. To work for a dream, to persevere through struggles and believe in ourselves as well as the ones that believe in us is what will guide us to success. We can begin now, this instant the process making our lives what we want it to be and it will take work, but the rewards will be limitless.

Long before a bed of sunflowers becomes an appealing vision to our eyes, one tiny seed started it all. We all began our lives winners as we were the chosen seeds in a galaxy of millions, let us not forget that. Anyone that has ever accomplished anything began with a thought and they held onto hope that they would get to the place that they really want to go. Just as we all need air to breathe and water to drink we need to have faith in ourselves and the world around us. Simply by opening our eyes to the gifts in our lives we can begin to transcend fears and boundaries that hold us back. We can step up to the plate and not be afraid to love with our whole heart, build the life we imagine and allow beauty into our souls. Everything we dream about needs a beginning and as we learn to trust in ourselves and others the results will be beyond anything we could ever expect. We can go on wishing for a better life or we can BEGIN to create it now.
