Today Is the Very First Day

Anonymous, “This is the beginning of a new day. I have been given this day to use as I WILL. I can waste it...or use it for good, but what I do today is important, because I am exchanging a day of my life for it! When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever, leaving in its place something that I have traded for it. I want it to be gain, and not loss; good and not evil…In order that I shall not regret the price I have paid for it, I will try just for today, for you never fail until you stop trying.”  Thank you to the anonymous person who shared this wisdom.

As each day is an opportunity for success or failure, each day is also a chance we have to change the world. As the butterfly who flaps her wings in the Amazon jungle contributes to global air currents, every one of our actions makes a difference. Like a stone thrown into a pond each small change ripples out and touches another, creating more ripples and greater change.

Dear Reader, I want to thank you for your contribution to my life, your presence in reading this column is a gift to me. Thank you for friends known and unknown you are a blessing that changes my life. The smiles you share with me as we walk through the grocery store, the wave to go on ahead when I am waiting to turn improves my day. The laughs you share with me on the phone or sharing tea, the thoughts of concern when I am hurt all mean a great deal to me. Lately I have been making an effort to connect with everyone I meet in a loving and caring way. I am inspired to do this as a way to create small changes in the world. When I see that I can make a difference even in small ways, I am encouraged to risk making a difference in greater ways. I know that not just my future depends on my choices. 

The power to decide our future is inside us. We can tune in to the higher frequency of Love open channels for this power to flow to the surface of our consciousness, taking control over our destiny. When we access the frequency of love we are contributors to every micron of change in the world, and every contribution is valuable.  When we have a hard time identifying what is our contribution our self worth suffers, and we feel cut off from knowing the power of love. When we can’t identify the value we bring to the world we cannot build upon it and increase our contribution to the world. When we take the time to identify or decide what we wish to contribute then we can formulate a plan to deliver it by quality and quantity. The universe rewards valued contribution, and when we put that plan into effect we see the rewards for our efforts. Now is the moment to seize taking advantage of every opportunity to invoke love in your life.

May we all be "the best we can be" and serve humanity, through everything we have to offer. This week’s exercise is to decide how your loving energy creates change? After you determine your contribution, then write down a plan and watch yourself worth increase along with rewards you reap.
