Taking Action

Many of us read "how to" books and listen to others share their words of wisdom. We take copious notes of what we have read, so we don't miss a step that may change the direction of our fortune. We listen intently to each words shared hoping that they may some how make our lives better. We feel that the words we have read and that are being spoken, are meant solely for our benefit. Actually, reading and listening to others are only the first step towards change. The true challenge begins by implementing what we have read and heard. The process of change includes: reading, listening, understanding, then taking action by integrating what we have learned in our daily lives. Creating a life of compassion takes resolve and committment that we will live a life taking care of ourselves so we can help others. Today, begin the day by laying aside your books and taking a break from listening to others. Take this moment to put what you have learned into practice. Remember to choose your words carefully and come from a place of quiet compassion. You deserve to live a life with peace in your heart.  

Let creativity flow from that special place in your heart...
