InnerSelf.com welcomes your inner Self
Every day offers us a new beginning. We don't have tp remain stuck in the muck of old patterns, behaviors, and beliefs. Each moment, each experience brings new light and new energy to the present moment. But of course, we need to be open to seeing the possibilities and the opportunities that come our way.
We have to be willing to drop the past, whether attitudes or beliefs, and turn to a new page, start a new chapter in our life. For some people this comes easier than for others. They look forward to a new experience, a new adventure.
For others, change is a frightening thing as it holds so much unknown, so many "what ifs". And of course, if your tendency is to experience doubt and fear, then those energies will be amplified when change comes knocking at your door. Yet, we can choose to greet the visitor, if not with open arms, at least with an open mind, looking to see what good may come of this experience.
And when it seems like the whole ship of your life is apparently getting ready to sink or to crash, it is more difficult to hold on to hope, and to trust that the Universe has your back. Yet, trust me must, otherwise we fall into the depths of despair. We must look for the seeds of positivity, of hope, and nurture them carefully. We must protect them from the ravages of doubt, fear, and chaos, and find ways to nurture them with actions that will support a new, fulfilling future.
We must believe in the possibility of a healed self, a healed society, and we must take steps to make it a reality... starting in our own self, our family, our neighborhood, our workplace, our town... Growth starts in the rich soil of possibility, and it is supported by positive visions, love, and optimism, all while keeping our eyes wide-open and taking care of challenges as they come up.
The beautiful lotus flowers grow out of the muck of ponds which contains very little oxygen and light. Yet this dank and putrid soil still produces a beautiful flower. And so it is with the world around us. It may be dark, and it may seem to hold no light, yet it will produce a beautiful flower as we nurture the process of creation and transformation. We must keep that seed nurtured in our heart, in our thoughts, and in our actions.
This week we bring forth articles to support us all in our journey.
