Perceptions are an extremely powerful force in our lives that are directly related to each and every feeling of hearts and distinguishing thoughts in our minds. The most common aspects of our perceptions are fear and faith. When we are rattled by situations in our lives, it is quite possible that we are looking at our current circumstance from the perception of a past we can't change or a future that we certainly can't see. There are things in life that will knock us back, occurrences that we don't see coming. We can look at it from the viewpoint of yesterday or tomorrow, allowing our minds to spin out of control; Or we can look down and see that our feet are planted right here in the present, giving us an opportunity to grasp onto the perception of faith that we will be able to forge ahead, realizing we will never be given anything we can't handle.
We must teach ourselves to accept the perceptions of others and never judge. Each of us has our own unique way of looking at life and nobody has a firm grasp on what others should think or feel. We will find that acceptance is our greatest asset in allowing everyone around us to discover peace in their own lives. No matter what happens inside each of us, rivers will still flow, seasons will change and night will turn into day; if we are able to comprehend the idea that we are a small part of this vast Universe eventually we will all be able to feel free from the fear that binds us and see that faith will carry us to the place of our dreams. Everyone has their own perceptions and the beautiful aspect of this is that they will effortlessly change at the moment that they are meant to, letting us discover the beauty that is within each of us.

Faith and Destination
There are times in our lives when moving on is essential for our own purpose of discovering the next fantastic experience awaiting us. Each day we have an opportunity to forge ahead by learning from yesterdays triumphs as well as missteps. So long as we are allowing ourselves to be willing and open minded enough to change there is nothing that we can't handle. Often times we may get wrapped up trying to figure out the exact reasons why certain situations do not go our way and we drag our past along with us. Like a big shadow we tend to cast blame on the occurrences that have already happened, things we can't change and the insecurities that follow them. Instead, we should make every attempt to find within ourselves new thoughts and a new direction to get to that place we really want to go. The only certainty about time is that it passes, we can move on from every moment by simply changing our thoughts toward the positive energy in and around us.
When we are stuck in moments that we can't seem to get out of and unsure of where to go next, we can find solace in the courage it takes to change our thoughts. We can concentrate on all of the gifts we have right there in palms of our hands and the faith that could be found in our hearts. The air we breathe, lives we may touch, imagination and hope. We are capable of turning fear and isolation into faith and destination one moment and one tiny risk at a time. As we allow ourselves to move ahead, letting go of yesterday and tomorrow there will be fantastic experiences waiting for us. Let the mystery unfold, letting go of fear and taking the little risks that will open us up to our greatest dreams.

Hold onto Resources
We have infinite resources which we can reach for to grab onto life's miracles. Anyone that has ever achieved anything were not sure quite how they were going to get there, they simply believed that they were going to. Our journey begins new every day, no matter the situations that we are encountering at any given time we are capable of moving one step closer to our dreams. Certainly, we will encounter situations that have us feeling trapped and unsure where to go next; These are the times when it is necessary to let go of our fears and reach for inspiration that comes in many different forms. The one and only action we have to take is to be open to all of the resources put into our lives that will take us out of our own minds and touch our hearts.
Inside our own heads we tend to feel as though we can solve all of our issues when in fact we are rejecting the beauty that surrounds us. The spirit of others can be an invaluable resource in taking us out of the situations that rattle us at any given time. Each of us have insecurities and demons that effect us in different ways, sharing them lessens the burden of ever having to go through our individual stuff alone. When we are able to reach out and hold onto people that believe in us, music that moves us, stories that inspire, imagination that keeps us going and faith, we will surely find ourselves feeling alive inside. Let us not attempt to figure it all out with our minds, but let the resources of our hearts move us toward our grandest dreams.

Within our Reach
Creating the life we imagine will come with twists and turns that invariably will give us a new sense of freedom as we keep moving forward. As we teach ourselves to see beyond the walls in front of us we will be equipped to trust our instincts and stop fighting with each and every fear that holds us back. Our greatest insecurities are derived from a past that we can do nothing about except forgive ourselves, forgive others and move on. More than anything else we tend to shrink ourselves down to expectations that we learned from the circumstances of our past. It is easy to lay blame on our mistakes or our perceived mistakes of those surrounding us throughout our lifetime; The simple fact is we are set free by the truth and imagination that lies within each of us, as we let go of our past all that we can dream of is within our reach. No matter where we are right now, we can let go of yesterday and begin to create the life we imagine.

Reach Out
Many situations will happen in our lives that we simply do not understand, when circumstances render us baffled, frustrated and angry. Our tendency is to over think each and every detail that has put our minds in disarray; Causing us to delve deeper and deeper into the fear of tomorrow and struggle to let go of our past. These are the moments in time when we have a dynamic need to change the direction of our thoughts and begin to allow ourselves to free up our hearts with faith that everything passes and never stays the same. Right now, in this very instant we all have the strength and power within us to move beyond the fear that binds us and rise above the hard feelings that drag us down. When we are at our most vulnerable and feeling as though we are at the edge of a disastrous cliff, we can feel safe knowing that there are willing hands to reach out to; the hands placed there by God in our perfect Universe.
Sometimes we allow pride and fear to work hand in hand, keeping us from dissolving frustration and pain that resides in our mind. We will intuitively learn that occasionally we simply can't survive all circumstances alone; the wonderful and spiritual aspect of this is realizing that we never ever have to. Our choice is simple, we can stay stuck in the raging waters of fear or reach out to the willing hands ready to pull us aboard the vessel floating down the river of hope. Once aboard, each of us can carry one another to the destinations of our greatest desires. Fear is a powerful force, however faith and trust command that we look inside our hearts in order to discover our greatest good. We can allow ourselves right now to reach out to the willing hands ready to guide us toward our greatest hope.

Dream Together
One of the greatest fears we may encounter is allowing ourselves freedom to trust others and the world around us. Each of us have had and always will have situations arise in our lives when we feel misunderstood, weak or baffled by the circumstances that are going on inside of us. Often our tendency will be to shut down and isolate, cutting off opportunities to let ourselves be guided by positive energy that surrounds us. A great gift in life comes from the power of support that can be found by slowly dismantling the walls that we have built up around us up to this point. It is not an easy task, but by making little changes and taking tiny little risks each day we can teach ourselves to see beyond the walls in front of us and free ourselves from fear that binds us. We will gain independence by allowing ourselves to depend on the resources that have been perfectly placed around us and letting go of the idea that we have to handle life alone.
Each of us have an unlimited amount of hope that we can offer each other. The trick is to allow ourselves the freedom to receive these gifts and be willing to share our unique individual strength with all that we encounter. There are circumstances that will happen in our lifetime that we don't see coming, feelings that render us confused and isolated. As we teach ourselves that we are never alone we will discover that anything thrown our way can be eased by the simple concept of sharing and being open to the unlimited amount of resources that can be found with our own true independence. In the flow of The Universe we will discover the answers we seek by allowing ourselves dependence on the perfectly placed gifts all around us. The smile of a stranger, the company of an old friend, music that touches us in any given moment, envisioning a bed of golden sunflowers and the unlimited hope we can give each other. We can walk toward our most magnificent dreams together.

Hold onto DREAMS
Hold onto our dreams while letting go of the distracting factors that cause us to feel as though we keep getting knocked back. Even when we are clear about a vision of what we are trying to accomplish on our journey there will be times when outside sources interfere with our intuition. These are the times to start taking little risks that have nothing to do with all that we believe from past situations. Too many times we look at the results of our past as negative things like "bad luck", "poor judgement" or "that is impossible". Fear may have us feeling as though we are being judged or held to a certain standard of living that simply does not allow us to feel alive inside our hearts. When we allow past experiences to dictate certain choices we make, it could conceivably force wonderful opportunities out of our lives. As we learn to live moment to moment and trust our instincts we'll be able to find that the great mystery unfolds beautifully all around us.
We are all imperfect, living in a perfect world. Mistakes happen, however so long as we are breathing, visualizing, accepting and staying in the flow of the Universe we have within us the capacity to be alive in our hearts and true to our souls. Most of the time our biggest detractors are caused by past situations and an uncertain future that we can't control. All of our past and all that will come have one thing in common which is that they each had a moment of right now. Just like rivers go through droughts, winters become spring, darkness turns to light and tiny seeds become colorful beds of flowers; We too can grow and change in any given moment. Hold onto our dreams no matter what happens to come our way, find what keeps us alive inside and create the life we imagine.
