January 14

Some of the most accomplished and successful people have been discouraged and hurt. They have had their hearts broken and their hopes dashed. They have missed opportunities, had regrets and made mistakes. Their lives have not always been easy or perfect; they have endured sadness and worry, and have been confused and alone. And these very same people have gotten up each morning, stepped into the new day and asked themselves “Now what?” And the answer to that question has taken them to some beautiful, incredible and wonderful places.

Good morning! Today is an amazing day and I am going to make it just that. Something wonderful is going to happen today and I can't wait to see what it is! No matter what life has handed you, no matter how you feel you have been defeated, you need to get up again in the morning and thank the universe for the new day, then ask "now what?" and see what the universe throws at you. The universe will not give you anything you cannot handle. You may think at the time that you can't handle something, but in all reality, you can handle it perfectly. Let go of the stress of the situation, think logically and the answer will come. Only you can answer the question for yourself each day. 

Each of us gets a few curve balls every once in a while. It may seem like some get them more than others, but those some just have a different way of handling things than others. Life is an amazing thing. There are so many beautiful and wonderful places to visit and see on this Earth. Live each day to the fullest and live with no regrets. Appreciate everything you have. Appreciate all of the lessons that life has taught you thus far and all of the lessons you still have to learn. So get up in the morning, say your thanks, write your gratitude list and ask the universe what you have to learn today. And then look for the miracles that happen upon your day! Make it a good day and enjoy!

Now it's YOUR Turn to Reflect on This:
In your journal, write down the things that you letting hold you back from achieving the opportunities that are put in your path. Then reflect on why you are letting them hold you back. Once you are done, look at the page in your journal and affirm outloud, "I release everything that has ever held me back now and always. I am free!"
