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.
