You have autonomy and the ability to choose, every day, how you wish to live your life. Once adulthood is reached your decisions are your own, your attitudes are your own, how you decide to express yourself is up to you. Thus, you are in charge of the person you become each day as you interact in the world. Your inner world also comes into play because what’s going on inside you affects how you behave. Get to know yourself well so that your life has balance and so that it is healthy inside and out.

Sending you love,

Make time for yourself today by taking a few minutes here and there to check in with how your body feels, with how your inner self is feeling and with where your heart stands on any important matter that arises. By checking in throughout the day you offer yourself an opportunity to maintain balance, to get grounded in the true reality of you. The true reality of you is just as important as the reality of others, or the reality of the world around you, for if you are not grounded and in reality nothing else will be either. So make a healthy habit of checking in with yourself. And pay attention to feedback, taking steps to remain in balanced harmony, within and without.

Sending you love,

Be honest, especially with yourself. Don’t hide from the truth or uphold a dishonest opinion simply to not lose something. If you are living a lie then you have already lost. There is a saying—Live Your Truth—and that means coming clean and being honest with yourself. Honesty requires a fierceness that  dishonesty lacks. Consider how you are living your life now. Are you being honest with yourself? If not, what will it take for you to turn in that direction and be utterly open and honest about everything with a fierceness that you have never tapped into?

Focus on staying upon your intended path, the one that your spirit has pointed out to you, that feeds not only your ego but also your soul. It’s easy to follow ego alone, to go for what it wants and to forget that you are more than that or that anything else matters. But when you turn from ego, what else is there? Only the most important aspect of your makeup—your spirit that longs to connect and live life with your ego, to share in the glory and the defeat, the highs and the lows, and to grow by experience. Turn more often in your spirit’s direction and ask it for guidance as you seek balance and as you yearn for something new. It will not disappoint you!

Without malice face what comes to disturb your day and let a new perspective guide you. Nothing is too great to face and nothing will get the better of you, especially if you decide to look upon life as a great mystery with its own purpose and its own direction. How life unfolds may never be understood while it is unfolding but hindsight offers the gift of truth, for in looking back one is granted the long view that surely explains everything and leaves one in awe. Be in awe.
