365 days to your richest life: day 1
A whole calendar of brave new days lies before us, and it is so tempting just to enjoy this quiet time now and stumble in blindly tomorrow. But every day is also a new opportunity to make room for something richer than the place we inhabit today — and it would be a shame to let that opportunity pass.
Today I invite you to think about the one thing — the one thing that would make a tremendous difference in the quality of your life. It might be a money issue, or a relationship issue, or even a health challenge. Whatever it is, it is defined by its essential nature — if you could change this one thing, life would be better. This change offers freedom — its realization will fill you with new energy for creativity in this and every other area of your life.
I invite you to create a space in your life for this change to occur. If you believe in a God, spend a few minutes each day praying to that God with certainty: “God, I know that you love me and want me to reach my highest potential. I’ve identified an obstacle, and I know that you’ll send me what it is I need to overcome it.”
If you don’t believe in a God that you can pray to, send the same message to your unconscious: “I know I have the creativity, wisdom and energy to transcend this obstacle. I know that with enough perseverance and faith in myself, I can transcend this obstacle and realize my dreams.”
Carry these prayers or affirmations on a card in your pocket, tape them to your bathroom mirror, and say them as often as you can until you realize that something has changed.
The change may be out there, in the external world, or just as powerfully, it may be a idea or change of viewpoint that allows you to see about or around this obstacle to your next right step. Whatever it is, it will free you to move into your next stage of evolution.
By the way, if can’t identify an obstacle — and assuming that you are not living in bliss each moment of every day — make that the obstacle you wish to overcome. Identifying your obstacle is your current path to freedom.
