A Day In Alaska

Inside Out

I know my circumstances do not make me. but rather my circumstances reveal me.
The events in my life do not cause me to be one way or another. The events in my life give me the opportunity to express who I am by the way I deal with them. "For example" Like a mirror, the world around me reflects my values, my beliefs and expectations. The things I experience outside myself are shared with the person I am inside.
To bring about a positive change in my world, I must first make that positive change deep within myself. Life flows from the inside toward the outside.(Like a blooming flower)
Any gains I make on the outside that do not have their origin on the inside will be temporary and mostly meaningless. Real, lasting success on the outside comes only after success has first been nurtured within myself.
Take great care with the authentic person you are inside. And that real value will flow outward to every corner of your life.

To change or not to change?

Do you ever wish that you could change the past? If you could change the past, you would be able to correct every mistake, avoid every accident, and never experience the pain of regret.
When in fact, you can very easily change the past. You simply must do it before the past becomes the past.
This moment where you are right now will soon be in the past. So now is your golden opportunity to assure that it will be a past you'll be happy to have.
With care and focus, with love, discipline and positive intention, you can do just that. You can change what will soon be the past into the best that it can be.
Imagine not having to wonder what would have happened if only you had been a little more careful, thoughtful or diligent. Imagine living your life with no regrets and we all have them.
Imagine it, and know that right now is your chance to make it so. Use this moment to give yourself a past that won't need any changes at all.
