We are the power... we don't just have the power. We are the power of One... we are the power of the One made manifest. In all the world there is only one person like us and that which is Us is most precious. We are also Love... we were made to love and be loved. We were created to be filled with Joy. So why is it that we at times forget how magnificent and wonderful we are? I don't know, but I would suspect that we... somewhere along the way... got into the habit of living from the outside in. We got into the habit of making those things outside of ourselves seem more important than we are. We got out of the habit of remembering just how great we really are... and... we got in the habit of accepting responsibility for things outside of ourselves. When it comes right down to it... we can lose those habits that cause us to live our lives from the outside in and create a newer and better one. We can create the habit of living our lives from the inside out. So today... just for today... live your life as you know it can be... dare to dream your future into being. We can bring into our lives that which we desire most... the only thing that we should figure out is "what do we wish to experience." Then once we've decided upon the experience that we wish to have, we will create a mental equivalent of having that which we desire to take form in our lives. Then... one day... as if by magic... our desire will take form in our lives because we believed that it would. What a wonderful feat of magic that will be. Our thought for the day is: 'The journey of the self begins at the middle and then moves outward like ripples of water on a lake.' Gayle O. May you find that which you seek and may that which you seek find you. Take time to slow down to the speed of life... the scenery is much better when you move a little slower. © Gayle O This is a single flame created in Apophysis 3D Hack.
