It takes a leap of faith to turn your day and your life around. When we are in pain or doubting the way our life is turning, take one small risk to ignite the wonderful spirit that lies within each of us. For one moment, we can forget our past and leave our future worries to do something different. Our thoughts are powerful enough to create the life we imagine, like all creation the journey begins with a single step.
We are a piece of an ever changing Universe, where nothing stays truly still. Fresh Spring days eventually turn into sensational Summer nights. Every minute of every day a new life is being born, ready to blossom into whatever form God has intended. In our lifetime we never take the same breath twice, with each one we are in the constant flow of the world around us. With every breath, there is an opportunity to thrive in the richness of everyone and everything that surrounds us. We can admire the smile of an old friend, take notice of the sunset or see the wonder in a child's eyes. Today, allow one moment to take yourself to that place you really want to go.

Forgiveness
Forgiveness, not only of others, but of ourselves is a sensational stepping stone toward liberating us from our deepest fears. Today I understand that when we are letting go of our fiercest resentments, we are able to shift our hearts toward love. When we carry that anger it can tear us up inside, leaving a path of destruction in our wake. When we destroy others with our resentments, we are actually tearing ourselves down even further. There is no freedom within when we refuse to accept that each of us is a perfectly designed piece of GOD's great artwork. With forgiveness comes an immeasurable amount of independence that allows us to walk with confidence on our journey toward our purpose.
For today, find the beauty of forgiveness in your heart. We are meant to shine brilliantly in the in the eternal light of The Universe. Find within yourself the innocence of a child, non-judging and fearless. Release yourself from the prison of the past, become humble enough to see the good in everyone and everything that God has created.

Freedom of the Powerless
There is great freedom in understanding that we are powerless over everything except the choices that we make. The true beauty of this is that even all of our choices, good and bad will have outcomes that are out of our control. We can begin evolving by making little changes and taking little risks in our lives that will ultimately bring us closer to God. We will gain insight on our own unique intuitions by following them without expectations, enjoying life's great mystery.
Our own vision of a perfectly sunny day may be hampered by a drastic rainstorm. Our choice then becomes clear...live in the misery that our expectations have not been met or go outside and jump in a puddle. Today my choice will be to splash around freely, basking in the fact that The Universe had other plans. The rain is needed to nourish the soil that feeds fantastic life into the blooming flowers and flowing rivers. We can let passion grow within us no matter what circumstance comes our way. Freedom comes in the choices we make, we learn to love by accepting all of God's results openly and willingly.

Cultivate
Each day is a journey filled with tiny miracles that we must not take for granted. The moment that our eyes open up and we have air in our lungs our journey begins. We are now past yesterday and tomorrow is uncertain, be open enough to relish the gifts that come your way TODAY.
We can savor the stirring sights and sounds of morning to begin each new day. Birds singing, the rain beating on our rooftop, the light of the sun glaring through the window. Each day begins with new and exciting adventures awaiting, a chance to evolve with the Universe and grow from within. We can find great reward in taking the risks of the open minded... forgiveness, affection, enchantment and love. When we shift our thoughts toward these feelings, the world around us cultivates the good within us. All of life's mysteries will unfold before our eyes and in our hearts. In the quiet stillness of night be grateful for every miracle bestowed on today's exciting journey.

Confidence
We can walk with CONFIDENCE when we are free enough to seek our guidance from a source greater than ourselves in every moment, right here, right now. It is when we have CONVICTION that we are limited to the demands of our ego and tied to the burden of an uncertain future. For today, may we walk assured that each step of the way God is directing us intently toward our grand purpose.
Live today moment to moment with laughter in your heart and liberation in your soul. It is impossible to find these gifts anyplace, except within yourself. We can drop the fear of the future by simply recognizing that it is not a burden we wish to carry with us. The trials of our past do not need be brought along with us any longer, for we can be certain that in this minute they are gone forever. Bring yourself to the present today by taking a small risk that will make you feel great. Become enchanted at any point in time by enjoying the freedom of bird soaring or the beauty behind the smile of a stranger, for they are you and you are them. Walk CONFIDENTLY today knowing that we are guided by a source of LOVE every step of the way.

Discovery
We can not fully realize the beauty in others until the moment comes when we can draw from our hearts the beauty we possess inside ourselves. Today we can choose to love everyone, regardless of how they perceive us. We can walk with our heads held high for within us is an infinite source of FREEDOM and PEACE that will allow each of us to walk undoubting in the direction of our great purpose.
Be grateful for each gift The Universe puts in front of us. The air we breathe, the sparkle in the eyes of a stranger and the allure of the sun breaking through grey clouds. When we are appreciative of seemingly simple things in each moment, it is impossible to carry the torment of our past or the uncertainty of our future with us. We will grant ourselves permission to be loving and confident in all that we do, there will then be unyielding calmness within our souls. Go out and dance without music, laugh from the deepest part of your gut and dream the most impractical dream. Discover the beauty that lies within you.
