InnerSelf.com welcomes your inner Self.
Here we are well into the first week of this new year. Whether we started off the year with hope in our heart or despair, we can still choose our path, our attitude, our perspective. Each day presents us with a new choice.
Change is the basis of life. Nothing ever stays the same even though we may think it is not changing. Oftentimes the change is happening "underground" such as a seed sprouting. In the sprouting stage, when we're looking at the soil we planted the seed in, we don't see anything taking place. Yet, after a certain amount of time, which differs for each type of seed (and human) we suddendly see a tiny shoot popping through the soil. And then the growth becomes visible to our earthly eyes. The seed turns into a seedling, then a full blown plant, and then will bear fruit whether as food or flowers.
And so it is with changes in energies, in attitudes, etc. We may not see the inner changes taking place, especially when they are taking place in the world and inside the people around us. Yet that doesn't mean change isn't taking place. We need to keep faith in the outcome and in the growth of humanity as a whole, and of course of ourselves as a part of that whole.
We've added several videos to our repertoire on YouTube as well as the audio of several of the articles on InnerSelf.com. Check each article for links and details.
