Contemplate your strengths and your weaknesses, yet do not attach to either. Instead consolidate them. Listen for the sound of their perfect balance, like the call of a mourning dove or the trill of a songbird. You will know the sound of your own song when it arrives. Let it sing within you, reverberating within and then without. Tune in to the vibration of this song throughout the day, returning to it whenever you find yourself lost in old thoughts or feelings. Consolidate in the vibration of the true you. This song is your spirit’s call.

Each day is new. Each day arises as an opportunity to do life differently, to create anew. Reflect deeply on what a new life and a new you means. Resolve old issues completely so that each day a little newness may be given life. Envision and then actively create the life you dream of, one day at a time. You are your own birth mother and your own birth father in this most creative act. Take your time to get it right without begin a harsh mother or a stern father, but in a most generous and loving manner set about your mission of change. As within, so without. From deep within begin the process of giving birth to a new you and a new life.

Our thoughts create our reality. Our thoughts that we are bad, incapable, unloveable, stupid or undesirable leave us stuck at the gate of fuller life. To enter the gate we must give up our futile thoughts and embrace all that we are, even our bedevilments, negative though we may perceive them as. In order to create a new reality we must accept all that we are, turning our negative thoughts into nonjudgmental embracing of our vulnerable innocence. We must allow all that we are into the balance of our lives, without excess or denial, without being overcome or neglectful. To be whole we must accept that we are human animals on a mission to become human spirits. To become whole we must love both our animal selves and our spirit selves. This is the work of the creative/creator self. Doing this work is to step through the gate into new life.

Attend to the business at hand. Approach that which must be done with decisiveness so that your creativity may be freed to do other things. Cut through old thoughts and old inhibitions to get at the truth. All of your efforts will be rewarded. Use your hard-earned inner strength and the truths you have faced and accepted as your power now. Turn them to your advantage as you advance into a new day, ready for anything.

Stay connected to who you truly are as you go into your day, as you take the next steps along your path of heart. Ask for guidance even as you rely on the self for the anchoring, the determination, and the drive that will aid you as you continue your journey. With your heart open, your mind clear, and your honest self exposed and in charge let your next step be strong and firm, your direction certain, and your intent full of optimism. You matter; your life is meaningful. Allow this truth to spur you to a new place. Allow a shift to naturally happen because you are indeed ready.
