If we want a new future that does not look like our past, we must make new choices in the present.
I have a choice: Do I want to align with the GREATEST VISION OF MYSELF or Do I want to align with my EXCUSES?
Many of us don’t realize that we have a choice about which aspect of ourselves we will use as the foundation upon which we build our lives.
We are all stronger than we can ever imagine being. Every choice matters starting with today. And today, I choose to live.
Loving yourself means making choices that allow you to care for the important person that you are.
Every important choice we make is being guided by one of two places: either it is an act of faith or it is an act of fear. Faith opens the door to a new future.
When you are committed to living a life in service to the most high, the choices to be great, to serve and be served, to love and be loved are apparent.
Anger, if used properly, might be for a cause, like helping feed children or stopping abuse somewhere. When we understand that every quality has importance and value, then we open up to this. Shining a light on these shadow qualities gives it balance.
Real change happens when you feel genuinely inspired, turned on by possibility and unwilling to settle for anything less.
Beneath the surface of your ego's insatiable cravings, your authentic desires are waiting patiently for you to acknowledge, claim and express them.
Devotion begins at home, inside your own awareness.
While your past can inform you and your future can inspire you, the moment of choice exists in the here and now.
It is clear to me that one of the biggest obstacles we face as human beings is the pain we put ourselves through when we resist and wrestle with our emotions.
Growth is usually uncomfortable. If you're looking for comfort, you will more than likely feel tired and old earlier than you want, and the misery of your caged soul will always be looming nearby.
