When someone says, “He/she has always been like that,” what are they implying? That old habits are really visible when you think they are hidden and out of sight? Old habits must soon die if change is desired, for true change requires something new. A new look on the outside might be the first step, but it will soon fade if something does not change on the inside. All changes, however, can be part of the package. But to truly create a new package more than the outer wrappings must change.

Sometimes it’s not the outside that matters. Sometimes the best solution is to open the package and expose its gifts and allow the inner you to fulfill its eagerness for life. A daring move to be sure! But you can do it one step at a time. Begin today.

In calmness greet the world today, confident that the gift of you, the real you, will be welcomed with open arms. But first welcome this real you into your own arms and take the first step in proving that no, you are not always like that!

A step is not a step unless it is taken. A thought is nothing if it is not acted upon. An idea is idle until it is created. To be fully present in life, alive and active, one must do more for oneself. Take the step. Act. Create. It’s what life is all about.

The physical is just as important as the spiritual. Take care of your body today with a quiet day of rest. Without neglect of the inner you pay attention to the outer you. Often the striving for inner balance and perfection takes precedent, leaving the physical body trying to catch up, but care of the physical is equally important, for it is your vehicle through life.

Pay attention to what your body tells you about yourself today while you simultaneously give it a day of calmness and retreat from the usual. It is all you have as you navigate life. Without strain, without overtaxing it, treat it kindly and lovingly today. In return it will do the same, offering your spirit refuge in a kind and loving home. Your body and your spirit will thank you for taking care of them so tenderly.

Every day offers opportunities for change, growth, and awakening. It is the little things you do, the small steps you take that add up to the giant leaps. It is the daily doing of life with intent to be aware of the self as a being of energy, learning to flow smoothly with life’s ups and downs, that will transport you and transform you.

You are all capable of the highest achievements, of the impossible because you are all beings of the highest order and that is the order of love. Seek love in all its many forms as your goal, but it is the love of compassion awakening within you that will have the greatest effect within and without. Seek that, for self and other, and all will be well.
