When you think of time and know that everything propels forward into the unknown, although you may not feel the changing world, it is happening, for nothing is the same as it was yesterday or any other time.
You worry about significant birthdays as if everything changed on that significant day but really, the body you make so much of is changing every second from the time you are conceived, but your mind comes along at whatever pace you feel inclined. If you are always trying to hold onto time passed with regrets, then you are too busy to reach out for new horizons. But this also works if you are too busy looking for tomorrows dreams, you can overlook the wonders of today.
On this new day, look in wonder at the sky, how beautiful and magnificent in all aspects of weather. Before you reach for food and drink, try opening a window and take some breaths of fresh air. In all things, try to do what comes naturally and not what you have trained your body to do.
Every minute is the most important minute of your life and your own inner self is watching. If we could only see ourselves as others see us! But I am afraid, in the earthly body, you see what you want to see. In the mirrors of your soul the only thing to change your image is love, and when you send out love your whole inner body reacts. This is the strongest weapon against all negative thoughts and actions and one that will reap the richest rewards.
If you fill your heart with love, there is no room for soul-destroying self pity, or wishing for material things that are just heavy adornments. As you walk the path of life, with resolute step and hopeful heart, live the day as it is meant, and when night falls you will close your eyes in prayer of a good useful day well spent.
