To be in balance is to learn what it means to be fully present to life in mind, body and action, to neither be foolhardy nor frightened of life, to neither inflate nor deflate your abilities but to know yourself fully and what you are capable of at any given time. On the other hand, life offers many opportunities to go beyond the known self, to express new sides of the self and to expand in ways that are both challenging and rewarding. In such times of growth and expansion previous experiences of balance, within and without, will guide you in knowing just how to tackle new territory. A balanced and centered self is always a practical self, stable and yet open and flexible to the adventure at hand, ready to take on anything with the wisdom and knowledge gained by experience.

Break away from the usual patterns of behavior, the usual habits, the ideas that bind and restrict, the thoughts that repeatedly hold you back from accomplishing your dreams. Dreams are not just inventions of the imagination; they are real lifetime goals. Remember them? They may be long forgotten, buried under the vicissitudes of life. Bring them back to life and give them some attention. It’s never too late to bloom.

Sending you love,

Hold yourself accountable for your own life, the playbook of your journey. For though you may feel pushed and pulled by circumstances, lost at times, and completely at the mercy of those around you, the moment you grasp that everything is in your control, that everything is your own doing, then everything will change. Once you realize that it’s your own life to live, conquer and enjoy, you will understand what it means to be accountable, to take responsibility for your life. Take back your own life, perhaps for the first time ever, by fully owning it, by taking control and by finally living to the fullest, as you wish.

Sending you love,

It is not forgiveness that is needed as you move on in your journey of change but acquiescence to the bigger picture, to acceptance of yourself as part of the whole, which includes you and everything that you’ve done and everything that has been done to you. There are no victims or perpetrators in the bigger picture, there are only actors playing the parts they have been assigned. When you accept your own role in the bigger picture you discover that you were not a pawn but a superb facilitator of that which was and is necessary for your own evolution and the evolution of all those whom played parts in your life’s drama. Well done!

Sending you love,

Beyond this day lies a future as of yet unknown. The past lies behind you, known but often forgotten. And the present day lies somewhere in between the known and the unknown. But in true reality all is fully known. All that is done and all that is not yet done, all that is lived and all that is not yet lived is fully known, planned and need only be executed. The process of life is however full of choices, and even predetermined events can change. Every day is full of possibilities and thus available to be lived however you determine. By your attitude and choices you can change everything.
