Embrace your joy. Without fear be happy. Let the self have a nice day. Hold the self gently and with exuberance today for the journey taken and the journey yet to come. Life will embrace you back with equal gentle exuberance.

Honest contemplation of self is an eye-opening activity. Look to your behaviors and question the self as to their growth-oriented properties. Are you on your path? Taking good care of the self? Focused on your immediate goals? In place of behaviors that are not conducive, that do not aid you in your growth, insert quiet time, time for contemplation and introspection, time for facing the truths of the self.

In quiet time clarity will come. Your truths will be revealed and your next steps appear before you. What is revealed may shake you, frighten you, or confront you, but that is good. Dare the self to not only take to heart that which says, “Okay, it’s now or never,” and make arrangements to proceed on your journey, fully aware that you are heading off into exactly where you need to go next.

In quiet contemplation what you seek will be revealed. All you have to do is pay attention, accept, and act from that place of knowing: from your heart. Even in the busyness of your life, take time to take care of the self today.

Be aware of your presence in the world, that you are on a journey of importance. Each one of you must take your life seriously. You are in charge. Make decisions that support a life of honesty and truth, a journey of kindness and compassion to self and other. Take care of your body, and feed your mind with positive material that will broaden your perspective and allow you to expand your interests. Allow that which comes to aid you into your awareness. Do not block your innocence from revealing your true virtues. Innocence is as much a guide as what you learn from others. Trust your own innocence. Sometimes that is all you have to go on. It will not fail you.

Now is a time of contemplation, preparation, and waiting. It is not time to act but time to consider all angles of a plan, a proposal, an idea. Allow the self to take time to sit with that which calls to you a little bit longer as you prepare the self to move forward. With measured step, and yet with open heart and mind, know that you will proceed when the time is right; that is certain. What is not certain, until it happens, is how the connection from now to then, from here to there, will happen. Only the unfolding of time will reveal that! In the interim, allow contemplation to reveal all else you will need to make your transition grand.

To access the magical one must learn how to be open and receptive. To be receptive is to close the doors of judgment and fear and leave open the doors of the possible. Everything is possible. Leave that door wide open and see what comes to greet you today.
