Making A Difference


Every life is a story that must unfold. People have grown used to confirming their lives to a brief silver of time, but it may be that we just go on and on. As one of my teachers would say, our lives are moments tied end to end.

You cannot change the scars that life leaves on you, but you can change their meaning. Take the time to discern what really matters. Prioritize. You are going to have human interactions moments, emotional challenges, but don't be in place of fear. When you are faced with something you cannot change, change your focal point and see if it is something you will change. Putting things into perspective tells you which battles to fight and which ones not to fight.

What matters is that you find the inner well being and contentment. It is you looking for a new insight or a new understanding.

Take life into your hands. Respond instead of react. Take charge. Be committed to change and take steps toward the future. It is not what you do but the emotions behind it.

When there is a crisis pay attention to what is there. You can observe the way you are feeling about a thing, not as a problem or as a judgment but as part of the solution. All actions have an effect.  You do not have to blame anyone else. Recognize your thoughts within and recognize how you are participating in that moment.

There is always a point of self discovery, a point of greater clarity, and a point of newness. It is wondrous. There are infinite possibilities.  Be open and receptive. Change happens in a blink of an eye.

Our world is changing. There is a lot of potential that has not been created yet and will be because you saw it another way. New Doors will open up and wonderful people will enter your lives.

What are you embracing?


A thought for the day:

You will be affected by the effect you have upon the world.
