Intend change, within and without. Stop telling yourself the same old stories to begin with. Shift out of your current mode of thought by interjecting new ideas and thoughts about yourself so that your mind becomes infused with new possibilities. In this manner begin to build a new you. Make some changes on the outside to support the changes on the inside. It’s okay to change, to be different, to truly be you. Maybe you’ve had to play a role, be someone else in order to achieve something, though it may be far from the real you. It’s okay to make a course correction, a surprising move, to take a new path, as long as it’s a path with heart, for that is the only change that really matters and the only path to take. Maybe it’s finally time. And once you begin that first step, don’t doubt yourself but stay connected to what your heart tells you, for the heart speaks only one language, the language of truth.
