Each day. Each and every single day we should be better than the day before. We should continue to grow...be bigger...for ourselves and for the world that spins around our bodies. I have been working my ass off to do that in many ways. Daily. Like a workout for the mind, body and spirit. Every here and again I injure myself and have to ice up for a few days but then it's back to work.
But I have noticed a shift with a bunch of us and I have to say I am pretty impressed. People are appreciating what they have. They are living in realities instead of potentials. I see gratitude instead of anger. It doesn't even matter what their age or stage of life...they are "getting it". They teach me on a daily basis and it helps me in this quest to come out better on the other side than I came into this big crazy lesson. I keep reading in various places that as you change for the better one of two things will happen. You will find the people that support you. You will find the people that can't. I get it now. I see the patterns. I am pretty darn lucky to have a great support team of people that value life, love, peace and joy as I do. Things don't matter...people do. I have also learned that the other people who played a great part in making me who I am today can be thanked as well...but that it's ok to let us move in other directions.
So for those of you doing the following...thanks for the inspiration...thanks for the reaching...thanks for trying to find the higher ground!
