NEW ATTITUDES... NEW POSSIBILITIES

Welcome to the weekly edition of InnerSelf Magazine.

While we are still "in process" with the website changes, we decided to go back to our regular weekly schedule even if there's still a lot of work to be done on the website...

The new issue is now being sent to you over the weekend rather than on Thursdays.

The horoscope will be posted to the website each week, on Thursday morning at the latest (East coast time). You can access the horoscope directly by going to http://innerself.com/Astrology/horoscope.htm
(You might bookmark that page to make it easier to access each week.)

The new issue will still be located at http://innerself.com/magazine.htm
(another page to bookmark).

We wish everyone a wonder-full and peace-full New Year. May we all be involved in creating the very best reality possible for each and every one, this year and beyond.

With love and best wishes from InnerSelf

* THIS ISSUE'S ARTICLES *

Balancing the Scales
 by Michael Levy.
 If our actions do not bring joy then they have no meaning. How do we balance our scales to get the correct perspective of life? Spirit speaks to us all in silence and is our source of information and wisdom.

The Empathy of Children
 by Robert Rabbin.
 During the first few months of 2003, I was taught something remarkable by 123 children, from 2 to 13 years of age. There is something remarkable about kids: they experience life in a way that expresses deep and profound wisdom. Their wisdom is born of their own connection to life and to living things.

Accessing Higher Consciousness
by Von Braschler.
Have you ever wondered what Jesus Christ really meant when he said that heaven is within you? Dante's epic The Divine Comedy also suggests levels of heaven and hell that could be explored in a state of higher consciousness. This is a personal journey that does not require tall towers, ladders, or secret tunnels. It is not a physical journey, but a journey of spirit.

INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE

     A Life Lesson from Frogs

There once was a bunch of tiny frogs who arranged a running competition. The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower.

A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants... The race began...

Honestly: No one in crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower. You heard statements such as:

"Oh, WAY too difficult!!" "They will NEVER make it to the top" or: "Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!"

The tiny frogs began collapsing. One by one... Except for those, who in a fresh tempo, were climbing higher and higher.

The crowd continued to yell, "It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!"

More tiny frogs got tired and gave up... But ONE continued higher and higher and higher... This one wouldn't give up!

At the end, everyone else had given up climbing the tower. Except for the one tiny frog who, after a big effort, was the only one who reached the top!

THEN all of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it.

A contestant asked the tiny frog how he had found the strength to succeed and reach the goal.

It turned out... That the winner was DEAF!!!!

The wisdom of this story is: Never listen to other people's tendencies to be negative or pessimistic...

Always think of the power words have. Because everything you hear and read will affect your actions!

Therefore: ALWAYS be... POSITIVE!

And above all: Be DEAF when people tell YOU that you can not fulfill your dreams!

Always think: God and I can do this!
