Luxuriate in the good feelings you have worked so hard to attain. Allow the self to have them, to use them in your inner world and your outer world. Allow them to become part of the new framework of your existence. It’s okay to feel good.

As you work so hard to change, you must begin to make allowances, not in a negative or passive sense, but in acceptance and utilization, acting upon and acknowledging how much you have changed, becoming more of the new you graciously and without judgment.

As you create a new self and a new reality your decisions to fully embrace this newness will be your prerogative, but remember that to act upon what you learn is crucial if you are to feel good and advance, if you are to fully be who you have the potential to be. Remember also: the possibilities for newness and change are as endless as your imagination!

In the interest of self preservation notice how you react to the outer world. Notice your emotions and feelings. Are they justified? Can you let them go without attachment, resentment, anger, or feeling that you are owed something? Why are you owed anything when you are in the perfect life for you and the journey you must take?

All beings upon that earth have landed in the perfect life, a life that was set long before birth, a life that was laid out with every detail of its circumstances prescribed, with the right experiences and the right traveling companions aligned and ready.

Life is all about advancement. If you accept your life as perfect for your advancement then you have also accepted your role in it. Indeed, your role is the lead role. It’s all about you, but no one owes you anything; life does not owe you anything. You owe it to yourself to accept this and take over now. You are your own best traveling companion. Be an excellent one. It’s time to burn through the illusions and nurture your full potential to life.

It is the intention of all beings who proceed to life on Earth to have experiences, to give and receive energy, to make some impact, whether brief and simple or long and deep. By impact this might mean to travel lightly through life with energetic joy and activity that is contained or confined to a set area. Or it might mean to barrel through life making deep grooves of creative impact, leaving behind great possibilities for continued potential. Or it might mean any type of life in between these two extremes.

The main and most important aspect of any life, however, is to learn that you are in charge, that each individual must grow up, become an independent adult and discover who they are as they step out into the world and become their own person. To do this involves many phases of evolution and change, a constant process of invention and reinvention until each person achieves their goal. Many people do this in each lifetime they live, others find that many lifetimes must be lived to create one perfect result. Perfection is not the goal, experience is.

Creating a new self each day is the work of the journey. In some way strive for this and you will satisfy the intent of your soul’s imperative.

What you yearn for is always within reach but to grasp it, receive it, claim it, you must take action on your own behalf. To sit and wait does not result in rewards. Proper steps must be taken to insure success. Yes, signs may come, but they will be meaningless if personal energy is not focused and set in motion. One must consciously and patiently work toward goals, taking mature and thoughtful steps toward meeting that which one yearns for.

With clarity of mind, with intent set, and purpose fully explored, determined to be meaningful and truly of the heart, one is prepared to proceed on a journey of fulfilling one’s desires. Only then is one ready to take action on one’s own behalf and only then will the signs be correctly interpreted for what they truly are and what they truly mean.

To discern the difference between a fancy and a true desire of the heart one must be fully present in mind, body and spirit. To know what is right and what one is ready for is to know the truth of one’s own heart, to listen with openness to the bottom line and pay attention to it. If the heart says yes, then the time is right to proceed. If the message from the bottom of the heart does not match the message spinning through the mind then no action is the best decision. Remember: Heart over mind.

Acknowledge this day as the next step on your journey through this lifetime. Accept where you have been, how far you have come, and all the work you have down to arrive at this day. Let your strengths and your weaknesses balance you as you accept them as your teachers and petty tyrants alike. Remain aware that everything inside you is set up to accompany you on your journey, to provide you with what you need as you travel forward and learn about yourself.

Take some time to bask in the luxury of your life, even as you give yourself to the tasks at hand. Even as you do the work of your life allow the energy of calmness and peacefulness, of enjoyment and cosiness to be provided and engaged in.

You are your own worthy teacher and petty tyrant alike, your own mother and father, your own light and your own shadow. Acknowledge that these are indeed the things you have learned and that they are the substance of who you have worked so hard to become. If life asks anything of you, it is to uphold the truths of who you are every day of your life and without fail to continue seeking the deeper truths of the self.
