Monday Mantra: A Beautiful something is on the Horizon...

      The future is a blank canvas, an unknown entity, in which we like to project our ideas about what is to come. Sometimes these projections take the form of hopes and dreams, while other times they can be tainted by fear or worry. The truth of the matter is, we never actually know what lies ahead. In fact, there is very little that we actually have control over. The good news is that our strength grows when we surrender to this truth; and when we choose to utilize the powerhouse that is our mind, right now. Using our thoughts to direct the flow of our energy gives us the power to do and be anything we so choose.

     Monday is a great day to start a new adventure. Today, as you venture out into the world, explore this new perspective: Every person you encounter has been on a hero’s journey of life. They have had their trials and tribulations; they have their joys and their fears, they have hopes and dreams, special talents and gifts… and just like you, they are trying their best to be happy. Look past the surface and see each soul as unique and beautiful, worthy of respect and worthy of your time. Know that you too, have a special story that has created your own take on life, your own thought-shaped world. Be open and courageous as you embrace the world you have created for yourself, and explore what you can learn from the stories and lives that have shaped the worldview of those around you. No two stories are the same; love the differences that give color to our world! Life is an epic voyage, and we are all in the same boat. :)
