09 September
Today is as good a day as any to break free from the mould, and do what you know you must to rise from ashes cold. What good is there in repeating all that you’ve done before? Better to take a risk and exit via another door so that you may greet this day with new eyes, and see a new perspective on your life.
You may achieve essentially the same results as yesterday, but by completing tasks differently, a fresh enthusiasm has given an opportunity to view each moment for the first, and in itself this is invaluable in keeping one’s spirits high.
So you see, in order to reinvent oneself it is not necessary to make radical changes. Small and frequent change can bring new zest to life, and little by little, larger steps towards one’s dreams entice.
If you want to change your life, improve circumstances in a lasting way, do not expect a miracle or rapid change any day. Slow and steady makes for a much more interesting evolution, and disturbances are minimised, as is confusion. Sudden change is usually imposed upon stubborn souls who refuse to budge from a perch long outgrown. This type of imposition may seem grand, but when in the midst of it one can feel overwhelmed. Instead, take initiative for yourself. Do those little things you know you can.
Once the wheel is turning so much impetus is there to encourage you to thus continue to grow with an air of confidence, and humble recognition of the path; you are becoming the very path yourself. And gradually you will find joy, day by day increasing, as you begin to believe in who you are, and without delay you will then rapidly display the very qualities you knew lay dormant, awaiting interplay.
