                                 I AM THE LIGHT FROM MY HEART


              "In a gentle way, you can shake the world"-Mahatma Gandhi


Success has a far greater mening than worldy achievements. It is a sense of inner fulfillment and contentment. We often strive for success based on external expectations.


TODAY: Think about your definition of success. Is it real and true to yourself or is it based on the expectations of others. If you really love what you are doing and spread joy in the midst of sharing your gifts and talents, how do you make a difference in the lives of others?

JOURNEY TO WHOLENESS: Reflection For Today


I AM BEAUTY


There is beauty in authenticity and naturalness. In this day and time, many invest resources to fix the outer self.  Our inner self radiates a natural glow. It becomes buried in superficiality as an image to fit in or become accepted.  Inner beauty is the mirror of the soul.  Let your light shine! Reflect it and see where it takes you.  



TODAY: Appreciate and accept yourself as who you really are.  Let yourself off the hook. Take a good look in the mirror and appreciate your natural beauty. Shed the layers of your personality that hide and shadow your true reflection.  How do you feel?

                                  The gift of life is miraculous
                                          

 A miracle is nothing more or less than this.  One who has come into a knowledge of his true identity, of his oneness with the all-pervading wisdom and power, thus makes it possible for laws higher than the ordinary mind knows of to be revealed to him --Ralph Waldo Trine




TODAY: Through our universal experiences of life, we have cried and laughed, recovered and thrived.  Be like the moth transformining into the butterfly. Let's aspire to become our best selves. K. Sri Dhammananda quotes, The ability to shape the course of one's life can only be exercised in the present, not the past or the future.   We have the power and the gift to create our reality in each living moment.  What will you create today?
