It’s not that hard to set a goal and walk toward it. Make it something simple that you want to accomplish and then do it. Make another, as equally simple, and do it. Look back each day and see how much you have accomplished. By breaking everything down into small bites—easily tackled because they do not overwhelm—you begin to piece together a new life, based on what and whom you truly desire to have in your life. If you try to gather up the entire big dream all at once, you may find that it’s too much. So, with patience, bit by bit imagine your dream and bit by bit make it a reality. And don’t forget to keep your positive affirmations alive and well!

Sending you love,

All journeys have value and all journeyers have equal opportunity to advance in their lives, no matter their starting point. Everyone is born into a life of potential. Some people seem to have it all, very early in life, and they breeze through without a care in the world, while others have many challenges to overcome. Everyone is born into the circumstances that they need and that will help them to advance. Some people will not travel far in their life while others will make great leaps and bounds that carry them far from their beginnings. Without judgment, notice what your own life has challenged you with and how far you have come. Without judgment of others, notice how they are doing what they need to be doing to advance, based on what they have to undertake, just as you do. All beings are beings of light and love and goodness, even those who may not show it; just give them a chance. And don’t forget to give yourself every chance to take up the opportunities that you were born with too. Life! Its purpose is all about being where you are and taking up the challenges that life itself offers you, each and every day, as your stepping stones to greatness.

Sending you love,

On every path of heart and on every journey of change there are the good days and the not so good days, but the longer you stay on your path of heart and change the fewer will be the not so good days. The more concentrated on change you are, and the more you stick to your path of change toward the good, the more hopeful and happier you become. You begin to notice that things that used to be bothersome no longer exist and things that you feared are no longer of concern. As you stay focused, you become more certain that the change you desire is shortly within your grasp. Don’t give up! Keep going! You are almost there!

Sending you love,

Remember who you once were, a small child with big dreams, an innocent figure in the big world, wondering how you would ever be able to do the things you dreamed of. Perhaps you felt invincible and untouchable and those feelings propelled you forward into life. Or perhaps you felt weak and unworthy and those feelings followed you into life. Perhaps it took you only a short time to achieve your goals or perhaps it has taken you a long time to finally feel like you belong. Either way, you all started out from the same small place of childhood innocence and thus you all had equal opportunity to grow, whether you felt that at the time or not. Everyone born into the world is filled with hope and wonder and possibility. Circumstances that challenge are the things that make you really innerly strong. If your inner life is strong and resilient, so are you. Look to your strengths rather than your weaknesses. In gathering the truths of your abilities, be in amazement every day at how well you have done and how wonderful your life really is.
