This image is a little different from my usual ones. It has a little chaos built into. I didn't know exactly why and then I realized that when we move out of our comfort zone, we begin to feel that there is chaos in our lives. In reality it is really about how we perceive our lives. A little chaos is always present. That is why we are free to make choices and iron out those bumps in the road. How much chaos we have is up to us. Now that is neat... it's up to us to iron out the chaos. Wow! What a concept. In, around, through... up, down, now where are we bound? The world is a most wondrous and exciting place. You don't believe it. You are here aren't you?. You are the most exciting and wonderful person there is because you have been given the power to choose. Every day we have the ability to choose a new future. Everyday we have the ability to release old memories of the past and old beliefs that no longer serve our highest good. For a long time we have thought that a mistake was an error. I am here to tell you that the word mistake simply means to 'miss the mark.' So when you miss the mark, take a moment to ask yourself "what have I learned from this event?" Then move forward and try it again but this time try it from a new point of view. Add to your original idea what you have learned from your first attempt. You will be amazed at how successful you will be. Always believe in yourself. A favorite saying of mine is "if it is not this, it will be something bigger and better." We should allow ourselves to be daring and bold at times. We won't know if we can succeed if we don't push ourselves beyond what we know and beyond our comfort zone. When we succeed, we will have expanded our comfort zone and we will be ready to be daring again. We have the power to bring into our lives all that we desire. We can dare to live our lives as we know they can be. But nothing will happen if we just sit down and wait. It takes a first step to try something new. So today... just for today... dare yourself to take that first step and try something you haven't done before. You won't know if you will succeed until you try. Our thought for the day is: 'I am... therefore I live. I dare... therefore I will succeed. I am a living, moving and breathing miracle.'
