Take your dream forward one day at a time. With measured step, with pure intent in your heart, and with the promise of new life in your future, dream on. Even as you dream of new life, know that each day, in each moment, you are already living it, experiencing a taste of it, manifesting it. In each breath you breathe, each word you speak, each action you take you are not only taking your dream forward but creating it in the now. Live each day with purpose and meaning, even as you wish for greater purpose and meaning. Each day is important, filled with possibility and the opportunity to do or say something meaningful and important. Everyone has that opportunity, equally. Use your words and your time wisely. And remember to keep love in your heart and all will be well.
Look to the light even though all you may perceive is dark. You know what the light looks like. It is beauty and joy, freedom and possibility. It penetrates the dark, reaching toward all that exists in the great unknown, to the mystery and magic. Bring the light you want and need, the beam of brightness that penetrates the dark, and make someone else’s day a little better too. Be the light you want to see.
Remain quiet, contained, and centered within the self as the year winds down, as this phase concludes. As the old dies away and the new prepares for birth, consider your own process of ending and beginning. What within you is ending? What within you seeks life? What is it time to let go of? And what is it time to bring forth into life? Sit quietly and remember that the sun sets and rises again, that the moon has its phases, just as you do. Get quiet within. Stay connected to the truth of changing nature within and without and listen to your wise self who knows you better than anyone. With eagerness and anticipation focus on new life to come. Remain positive. Even in the darkest times the potential for light and the possibility of change are just around the darkest corner. Meditate on that. Meditate on the light.
Look beyond your daily lives to another reality. Perceive life as one side of a many faceted spectrum of possibility. You live most of the time focused on one side of that spectrum. Know that there are many others.
Continue to be open to life as it comes to you, but always with awareness that there is indeed more to life than what you now perceive. Seek not explanation at this point, but do seek experiences.
Ask the universe to provide you with a glimpse of a new reality—even just a brief one—and you will begin to understand the possibilities that exist, just waiting to be encountered, even in that world you now live in.
Encounters of awe are the awakenings that the human spirit dares to expect yet often rejects. I ask you now to remain open and nonjudgmental. Without trying to figure things out in a rational way, let yourself be open to the possibility that anything can happen and everything is possible. That’s all you need to begin to perceive differently: Be open to possibility! Let it come to you in whatever way it finds appropriate.
And just what is possibility?
Possibility is the unimaginable experience that shifts you, the moment of awe that lifts your heart and frees your mind. It is the moment when everything becomes clear. Grasp that moment in memory, in deep knowing, for sure enough, as quick as it arises, so will it sink away again, far from conscious awareness.
But the memory will linger in the sinews of your body; have no doubt. The awe will course through you and you will know its possibility to both affect you and eventually change you.
Look for those moments of awe and possibility. Without denial of such possibility, go into your day and your week with innocent hopefulness, without doubt, and without fear. Ask for experiences of awe, with openness, alertness, and willingness to be changed.
And then, when the time is right, ask to be shown why you are given those moments, those glimpses of awe. What do they mean? What are they asking you to do to change your life, your circumstances—inner and outer—and perhaps your future, in this world and another?
