Acknowledge this day as the next step on your journey through this lifetime. Accept where you have been, how far you have come, and all the work you have down to arrive at this day. Let your strengths and your weaknesses balance you as you accept them as your teachers and petty tyrants alike. Remain aware that everything inside you is set up to accompany you on your journey, to provide you with what you need as you travel forward and learn about yourself.

Take some time to bask in the luxury of your life, even as you give yourself to the tasks at hand. Even as you do the work of your life allow the energy of calmness and peacefulness, of enjoyment and cosiness to be provided and engaged in.

You are your own worthy teacher and petty tyrant alike, your own mother and father, your own light and your own shadow. Acknowledge that these are indeed the things you have learned and that they are the substance of who you have worked so hard to become. If life asks anything of you, it is to uphold the truths of who you are every day of your life and without fail to continue seeking the deeper truths of the self.
