Whatever you think of yourself, think beyond that. Think beyond the ideas you hold, the image you carry and the prognosis you have decided upon. There is so much more to you, to what you can do and be. Let your creative self loose into new life, activity and experimentation, to find out what fuller potential you carry within that is unexplored, held back and not yet experienced. Little by little, one day at a time, dare yourself to live a little more daringly. Say yes to something new today and see what happens.

Sending you love,

Misunderstandings happen all the time. They are normal occurrences in busy lives. Best to correct them immediately before they escalate into bigger battles. Conflict is common but agreement is better, common ground is better, peace is better. When there is conflict there is fear, fear of the other, and fear restricts, holds back and creates unnecessary pain and hardship. Seek resolution, within and without, so that misunderstandings do not lead to conflict and fear, and so that peace and harmony may be  restored, agreed upon and experienced.

Watch where you put your attention and what thoughts you generate, especially about yourself. What are you perpetuating simply by thinking it? Negative thoughts tend to have negative reactions and outcomes, while positive thoughts generate positive reactions and outcomes. Practice on yourself. Notice where you think negatively and how such negative thoughts generate exactly what you concentrate upon, in your body, for instance. A constant thought of pain will generate exactly that pain. Shifting thoughts away from pain, to perhaps happiness, notice how feelings of happiness arise. You generate what you think, so why not think differently and generate something new. Try it. As a personal experiment it’s quite enlightening!

When conflict arises in the world, notice how difficult it is to deescalate, how world leaders struggle to do the right thing, to make decisions that benefit the greater good. Some use conflict to promote their own agenda, others seek to avoid it. So is it with each human individual. The world situation reflects what is going on internally in some way; sometimes personal conflict promotes a personal agenda while at other times the wish to avoid conflict is the agenda. Within the self, study how conflict arises and whether it is being used against another or only against the self. Study the best way to resolve it, within and without. Look at the world outside of yourself and note how conflict only seems to lead to destruction. Is that really the wisest choice?

Let the light of each new day signal a new light turning on within, a burst of love, kindness and compassion for all whom you share the world with, a burst of creativity and problem solving, a burst of inspiration and insight that allows for greater understanding. With each new day and each new light within allow yourself to open a little more to the possibilities that exist, to the positive vibrations that await you and to the opportunity to grow a little bit more. Turn toward the light each day and know that this day too will be filled with goodness and hope, with caring and kindness, because that is what you are choosing.

Sending you love,
