Stand in Truth.

Are you willing to risk discomfort, uncertainty, alienation, and at times even hatred to live with integrity? Sometimes standing in your truth is a lonely process and one that, in the beginning, can seem as if you are on the road to doom. It is a walk that is most often taken alone until you are at a place where you can meet others with a sense of confidence and tranquility, and no longer doubt your place in the world. True freedom is realized when you understand that it is a choice that has always been with you (the slippers that Dorothy had all along); no one else controls your right to exercise its power.

Are you feeling imprisoned by people, circumstances, or life experiences? What is it that is really preventing you from moving effectively forward? Do you find that your reasons are in regard to things outside of yourself? How do these challenging circumstances serve you? What is it going to take to get you to choose differently?

Success or sabotage? Take inventory of your choices; give praise for effective thoughts, words, and actions. Allow ineffective choices to be your invitation to make new choices today.

Is this going to be an incredible day? You have the choice to make it so. what is it going to be?
