We have our living, moving and being in the Now. So why is it that we sometimes try to live in our past? What is it about the memories of old and the longings for the future that keep us out of the present? There isn't a specific answer to this riddle. I think that we are waiting. We are waiting for something to be over or waiting for something to happen. In the mean time, we are missing most of what is happening right now. We cannot change what has happened in our past. But what we can change is our perception of those events. If we were successful, then we will be etched forever with the joy of that event. If we were not so successful, we seem to drag the memory along with us and then shy away from future events of the same type. What we can do is to change those feelings and look into our future. For it is then that we know for ourselves that we can and will be successful in all that we think, say or do. For we have the power within ourselves to move mountains... we have the power to move beyond that which we see. We have the power to bring into our lives all that we desire... all that we require. And we can do it without lifting any rocks or moving any boulders. For within our being is a secret and that secret is our power to create our life experience as we wish and dream it to be. Today is a new beginning... today is the day we begin living our life from the inside out. Today is the day that we believe in ourselves and our ability to boldly go forth with confidence knowing that we are a success... we are unique... we are great... we are abundantly supplied no matter what. And it all starts by changing how we perceive our lives and our world. I just know that we can do it and because of that one little truth, we will be changed forever. Our thought for today is: 'With love I live my life to the fullest. With love I give. With love I live. With love I create a future that will quake with excitement. With love I will treasure my friends.'
