I smile as I watch children at play. Their boundless energy seems so natural, so effortless. When I want to reclaim this same zeal and enthusiasm for myself, I remember these divine gifts are already within me.
I put God first and elevate my perspective. There are many ways to perceive the world. If I don't like what life is showing me, I have the power to change what I'm seeing by going within myself.
Today I give myself permission to shine. I need not wait for anyone to give me anything because, at the level of Spirit, I have everything I could ever need.
Being forgiven by someone I have hurt gives me a feeling of great relief. I may still feel sorry about what I did or said but knowing they are willing to move beyond it helps me forgive myself.
