People might not notice the changes taking place inside you even though you may feel them profoundly. Do not be offended but be in aware of the subtleties of change and how though immense in feeling how small in actual fact. There is a vast difference between the inner world and the outer world, between what you feel and what is visibly apparent. You may dream a profoundly moving dream but no one else can experience it. Thus it is with great changes within; you may be the only one to know and experience them. And this is as it should be, for your own progress is ultimately an inner experience and ultimately of the most profound importance.

Sending you love,

After a while the change you decided to make will no longer be a challenge. At that point, rather than become complacent again, it will be time to pose another challenge, to take another step in a new direction. What is life if not a series of challenges that further your progress in the good? Allow yourself to savor the victory of your first challenge, but don’t wait too long to begin the next. Don’t let habitual life take over again, even if it’s in a new place and a new form. Continually break barriers, step out beyond your comfort zone and challenge yourself to keep going.

Sending you love,

Change can cause reactions within the self, so watch out for negative emotions, bad moods and frustrations. Push through all disturbances with the knowledge that such things are common. Stay the course and keep in mind that you are on a journey not only of change but of transformation as well. Like a chrysalis you will soon emerge triumphant from the incubation stage, with all of its inner eruptions and disruptions, into a beautiful butterfly.

Sending you love,

Let bygones be bygones as you move on and leave behind that which no longer serves you, as you determine what you need and what you no longer need. Not everything in your past is worth carrying forward. Many habits and behaviors lose their importance and no longer have a place in your life when you move into ever-evolving phases of change and growth. No one else can tell you what you should take with you and what you should leave behind. Only you know for sure. Focus on where you are headed now and how important it is to proceed with clarity, awareness and balance. With those parameters in mind, surely you will find your way.

Sending you love,

Remain upon your path of change no matter what comes along to upend you, to unsettle and catapult you into a new state of awareness. When sudden change occurs it causes a shift, and an abrupt need to rethink best laid plans. Receive whatever comes with a measure of grace and an open heart, aware that this might be the most important moment in your life, a pivotal moment that says now or never. Change comes at appropriate times, so pay attention and proceed with what is right, taking a moment to pause and ask yourself the question, “What’s right?” Listen with your heart. The answer will come.
