Choices

J. K. Rowling

For our consideration…

I love this quote from Harry Potter. I love it for its simplicity and because it is a good reminder to us.

We are all born exactly perfect for our life purpose. We are all different with different abilities and characteristics. We are born with personal power to use as we see fit. Trials and tribulations are put in our path so that we can learn our life lessons. Again, we have the ability. We have to trust that and make the choice to move forward.

Our authentic self knows all of this but our ego likes to override our truth with “buts” and “what ifs”, lies, and deception.  Our ego is influenced by outside forces. It clouds what we know. But that again is a choice. We can choose to listen to our ego or authentic selves. We can choose to move through our lessons confident in our abilities knowing that we are in lockstep with our Guidance or we can choose to let our ego instill fear and doubt.

We have the choice. We always have the choice.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…

-Affirm…“I am loved.”

-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?”

-Drink lots of water.

-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.

-Listen to our authentic self and live with confidence.

What made me smile yesterday….

-A trip to the nail salon.

-Oil changed and car washed.

-Prescriptions picked up. All of that was done before noon.

-Catching up with my sister. Perfect timing. I was baking Mom’s sugar cookie recipe.

-Alex, James, and Moose arrived safe and sound. So fun. So exciting.

Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
