Uncover a little bit more of your own greater potential today. Do something different. Try something new. Offer yourself the opportunity to wish for something grand to happen. Spread your wings and try something you have been putting off that feeds your spirit. You already know what that is; you’ve already had tastes of it. Remember what it is that is so important to your spirit that it will not let you forget. Let it become part of your day today. Your spirit will thank you, but you will also thank your spirit.
Take a deep breath and remind yourself of your beauty, your health, your happiness, your prosperity, and your harmoniousness. You are a part of all that is, of all that is beautiful and all that is happy. You are a part of the great force of life on Earth and that same great force is within you. Keep it alive with thoughts of positive measure and inner certainty that you are more than worthy of taking your place in the world, just as much as the next person. All that exists is there for you too.
Reach for the stars they say! Reach for your highest potential! Everything is possible! Well, the truth is that all of those saying are absolutely true, the only caveat is that you have to put your own energy behind them, your own faith and trust in yourself in order for them to work for you. No one else can give you the energy you need to propel your forward. You have to instigate it within yourself. Yes, someone can certainly inspire you to change, to move in a new direction, to go for it, but only you can bring forth the energy that will sustain you and the belief in yourself that is so necessary to move forward in life. Part of the process involves acknowledging and resolving what keeps you from achieving what you desire. Look at the flower that blooms, that struggles from deep inside the earth, a tiny seed. Notice how it does not stop. It does not have thoughts of lack or depletion, it simply strives for what it knows belongs to it; the sunshine that will nurture it, the rain what will feed it, the earth that will support it. It does not ever doubt or think negatively; it just grows. So too are you a creature of the same world and so too will you be fed, nurtured and supported, if you believe it.
All that comes to you, your lessons, your challenges, your traumas, your losses, are for your personal benefit. They are your life lessons, meant to engage you and teach you. Appropriate questions to ask as you struggle through any phase of life are: What am I to learn from this? How can I best advance by having this issue in my life? Where is this leading me? Keep in mind that everything that happens to you is for your benefit and you will soon begin to see how you are being benefitted, how you are being guided, and how you are being led toward something new. Everything that happens to you is nudging you forward in life.
A fool once tried to get a donkey to move, but nothing they did or said would move the donkey. That is often what happens in life. Trying to make something happen is a fool’s errand. You can’t change anyone else. You can only change yourself. In so doing, you show that change is possible, and when others see this they too are empowered to change, if they are ready.
