As you work on yourself keep a friendly and open attitude toward yourself. No one is perfect all the time, though the real truth is that you are spirit and spirit is perfection, thus you too are perfection. It’s time to bring that awareness to the forefront of your intentions, that you are spirit and thus you are perfection. Try that hat on today and see how it feels. Ah, perfection!
Start off on the right foot today by remembering what you pledged to yourself yesterday. Remember to keep pledging something new today as well. Lead yourself forward in new ways today, just as you may have tried to do yesterday. It’s okay if you started out strong and then forgot what you were intending. That’s okay; it’s normal. Keep in mind though, that the more you focus on change, and the more decisions you make based on the changes you wish for, the better you will get at sticking with your plan for change. Adopt an attitude of gratitude for all the little steps you are making, and without getting down on yourself, begin again today. See how much further you get today, as you remember what you are doing, one pledge at a time.
A new week always offers a chance to do things differently. Make a pledge to listen to your inner spirit more often this week. Make a pledge to change one thing every day this week. Make a pledge to finally begin that one thing you have longed to start. Make a pledge to pay attention to what matters most to you as each day begins. Make a pledge to change what needs change the most.
All the days of your life have added up to today. All the events in your life, all the trials and tribulations have brought you to this point in your life, to this very day and to this very person that you are now. Does that not thrill you, knowing that everything has been a part of your journey? Every single day of your life and everything that has happened to you has shaped you into YOU! Look back in amazement! It has all been for this moment of realization that you have made the choices that have spurred you on in life, that you have followed the path that was shown to you. And whether you did so fully aware or fully unaware does not matter, for you are where you are now and nothing else matters. But, where do you go from here? Are you going to stay aware of yourself as a determining factor in your life, as the spiritual life force, the choice maker and director of your life? Or are you going to go back to the old way and let blind faith lead you onward. The choice, as we say, is always yours.
When things get tough, whether in your inner world or your outer world, remember that you are a spirit inhabiting a human form that can only operate because you exist in it. Without you, without your spirit energy, your human form would be nothing but an empty set of clothes. Turn more often to this truth of yourself and you may soon find that what is going on in the world outside of you is not so important. On the other hand, you may discover that what disturbs you on the inside is something most important, for that something on the inside is something that your spirit is trying to alert you to. It’s trying to get your attention, because something is blocking its fuller expression. What is it? Only you can find out.
