Knowing Your Future

Sometimes you want to know what the future holds for you. You’re curious to see if what you’ve been asking for will come to pass, but what would happen if you learned that what you wanted isn’t going to happen. Do you change your plans or do you continue to pursue your dream knowing it may never be? Know that when you leave your future in the hands of others you may not end up where you were meant to be, but where someone has led you. Only you have a clear vision of your dreams and can turn them into reality. Whether or not it’s exactly how you pictured it to be, it will have come through you following your own path. Trust that although your dreams may change throughout your life, they may turn out to be even better than you could ever imagine.

Trying Something New

Sometimes when you try something new it may be a little frustrating at the beginning because nothing seems to make sense. It’s not as if you’re not trying, it’s more that you don’t have a point of reference. It’s hard for you to start at the very beginning when you haven’t been there for a while, but that’s where you know you have to be. You find yourself taking baby steps so you don’t fall. Although you want to learn as quickly as possible, you find that slowing down and understanding the little that you’ve learned is more important. When you understand the bigger picture than everything begins to come together. Know that everyone starts at the beginning and before they know it they are where they hoped to be.

Telling Yourself The Truth

You hear that honesty is the best policy and you do your best to apply this to your life. Being honest with others is challenging because you’re caught between telling the truth and being respectful so as not to hurt their feelings. But you know if you keep too much inside of yourself, it may hurt you in the long run. Knowing this, how honest are you with yourself? Are you able to tell yourself how you feel about things without having an internal struggle? How many times do you agree with others, telling yourself that you’ll be okay with your decision even if you have strong feeling against it. When do you do things that you have funny feelings about but don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings? Being honest begins with yourself. Your journey becomes much easier when your mind, body, and spirit are in alignment. It’s time to tell yourself the truth.

Creating A New Day

Every day you have a chance to begin anew. Even if yesterday was one of the worst days you’ve ever had, today can be so different. Each morning when you awake you have the opportunity to decide what kind of day you’d like it to be. No matter what comes your way, you can choose to have a positive day or continue what was happening the day before. The next 24 hours is dependent on the decisions you make in the morning. You decide to make it the best day ever or one that you’ll want to forget. How do you want your day to be?

Habits That Linger

It’s frustrating when a habit you thought was long gone has resurfaced. Knowing that this is a struggle that never seems to end is not encouraging. What can you do to make it go away forever? Trying to control an instinctive reaction is almost impossible because you find yourself responding to something before you consciously realize what is happening. At this point all you can do is damage control, to be in the moment and acknowledge your reaction with compassion. You are no more or less because of your internal struggle. Remember that this too shall pass and you will recover from all that cause you harm. Breathe and know that the Universe is here to support you on your path.

 

It’s time to breathe…

A Life Of Gratitude

When was the last time you showed your appreciation to those who’ve helped you? You sometimes forget that you didn’t get where you are by yourself. Your journey has been filled with people who have supported you and your dreams. It may have been words of encouragement or being there when you needed a shoulder to lean on. They have never asked you for anything but to see you do well in life. It’s time to stop and begin giving back to them. Whether it’s a call, a text, or a card, send a message of gratitude for all that they have done for you. You will find that as you show your appreciation, life becomes a little more brighter. It’s by acknowledging who you are because of others, that you realize you have never really been alone on your journey.

The Change You Seek Is Within You

If this is a year of change, what makes it different from other years. You’ve tried to move forward in your life, but find that you are in the same place. It’s not that you’ve haven’t tried, but life is still the same. It’s been frustrating and a little confusing. But every year you begin the new year with good intentions. No matter what you’ve been working on, you are where you’re supposed to be. Sometimes it takes more than good intentions to make change, especially when there are other people involved. Remember that you can only change yourself and by doing that it will change the situation you are in. It may not be the end result you were looking for, but the picture will be different. This year, take the time to reflect upon the changes you want to see happen, release it to the Universe, and see what reveals itself by the end of the year. The change you seek is within you.
