Every day offers an opportunity to change. Too many rules may inhibit growth while too few may inhibit what is most needed. Sometimes what you do is the exact opposite of what you need. Sometimes to inhibit is good and sometimes it is not. It’s up to you to decide what is right for you and then actually do it. Today is another day of opportunity. Is it yours? Are you ready to take it?

Even on the coldest days stay connected to nature, for it is there that you will learn life’s greatest lessons. In the cycles of the moon, in the sun’s daily rising, in the sounds of the ocean’s waves, in the roots of the plants and trees, in the habits of all the creatures, in the beauty of the skies, in the rushing rivers and streams, in the light of day and the dark of night, in experiences of life and death, find who you are. For you too are nature first, as singularly awesome, as inspiring and beautiful. Find your connection to all that is outside of you and learn what it is to be at one within yourself too, with your surroundings and your own heart’s pulsing, for you are nature and nature is you. Respect and value nature. Respect and value yourself.

In containment find calmness. In centering find balance. In breathing find gentleness. In quietude find the peace and joy you seek. And when you step out into the world and into your busy life bring it all with you, your gifts to yourself and to the world. Calmness, balance, gentleness, peace and joy—find them all within!

When you feel compassion for another, can you feel it for yourself? What you project onto another, can you take it back? What you give to another, can you give to yourself? You are the only one who can give you what you need. You are the only one who can help you. You are the only one who can change you. You have everything you need inside you. You matter. Don’t forget that. You matter to yourself most of all. Don’t forget that either.
