“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back– Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.”
—Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We have decided to have a better future by being try to our Whys, by being daring enough to never stay inside the box, to be disciplined even when no one is watching and dedicated to see our story through to the end.
My friend in Australia who is bonded to me in a way that defies explanation wrote this to me a couple of days ago…
you came to my dream few nights ago and told me ” When the veil moves away, what is in the heart and soul will appear on the face, a wounded soul looks scary not because it is evil but because it is in pain. A loving soul looks beautiful beyond words. when you heal your own wounds with love and compassion and forgiveness then every soul you look at will be beautiful beyond words.” you ask me to tell you what you told me.
What does this mean to you? I’m still trying to decipher what it means to me.
Good morning Niki. I’m doing pretty well. I’ve had some slips but for the most part the program is changing how I eat – giving me a breaking point with past food behaviors. My belief is that in the long run this will help me in so many ways. I have more energy, I’m sleeping more soundly and longer. I know I have shrunk a bit – my friends have noticed in my face and in the middle. I’ve also received input that I just look healthy.

What can you do to elevate your view of yourself? According to Deepak Chopra we must all treat ourselves to moments of luxury– make time for a cup of coffee/tea with a good friend, have a warm bubble bath with a drop of your favorite essential oil for fragrance, or just take a nature walk. When we are good to ourselves, good things happen. We are all so wrapped up in the busy-ness of daily life that we often don’t take that time to ‘stop and smell the tea leaves’ so make a commitment to yourself– today, even if only for a few minutes you will do something luxurious for yourself! The ripple effect of those few minutes will cause a tidal wave of goodness!
