I am beginning to realize that each choice that I make has an outcome. I am also beginning to realize that thinking that I do not have a choice is actually making a choice. Since all choices do have outcomes; I know that if I wish to participate in the life that I am living, I therefore have to make my choices out of response rather than reaction. I stop, I breathe, and I am attentive to how I am feeling in the body and then make the choice. My feelings inside the body give me the gift of knowing whether I am choosing to be a part of the Divine or being part of the ego driven mentality.

Today is the day that I really am attentive to how the body is feeling. I am beginning to understand that if the body feels good, then I am honoring and am in my full connection to the Divinity that I am. When the body does not feel so good, my body is telling me that I am in resistance. As I recognize that sensation in the body, I know that acceptance to what is; will be the key that will unlock me from this place of only being human. Yes, I am having many human experiences, and I am also beginning to realize that I am truly spirit. When I deny spirit out of my experience, I am shutting myself out of life.

I am the change that I wish to see in life. If I wish to be with open-minded people, I, myself must be open-minded. If I wish to be around friendly and receptive people, I, myself must be friendly and receptive. If I wish to be heard, then I, myself, must be willing to hear. I am the change that I wish to see.

I am the only thing that I can change. I can change my outlook on life. I can change my perspective on what I am witnessing. I can change my reaction to one of response. I can change from being resistant to being receptive. As I am being receptive, I am also being accepting, accessible, approachable, friendly, hospitable, interested, observant, open, open-minded, responsive, sensitive, and welcoming. As I change myself into being those qualities, other things around me change because of this happening. I am the only thing that I have any control over as change occurs.

The opposite of being receptive is resistant and unresponsive. I know that being those things shut me out of life. Being resistant means that I am not open to change and I know that this world is constantly changing. Change is the only constant and I embrace change as well as participate in the changing. Nothing ever stays the same and I have the ability to embrace that fact of nature. I can then choose how it changes, and I can participate in the changes that I would like to see.

The dictionary defines receptivity as “a willingness or readiness to receive.” Am I truly receptive? Am I truly open? Am I truly ready to receive? I am beginning to observe exactly how closed I am in specific situations. Once I observe that, I can then accept that about myself in that moment and then change that about myself. I choose to be a receptive being, knowing that it is a natural state of being. This state of receptivity is being open, and I am open to receive the guidance of my soul and the Universe.

Today is the day that I truly participate in listening to others. I like to be heard: therefore, I know others like to be heard as well. There are two parts to communication; input and output. Listening is a quality that supports me beyond measure. Listening is a state of being that matches my soul. Listening is receptive and I am truly receptive to hearing what someone has to say. I listen closely as well as wait for them to be finished before I plan what I am going to say. I also realize that saying nothing can also be as powerful as saying something. Today, I participate in fully listening before responding.

Today is the day that I take full advantage of God being by my side as well as being inside me, guiding me along this journey called life.
We talk about God being ever present and omnipotent. Do you take full advantage of that? God is always there, so why do we look outside of ourselves for guidance. Is it because you have not gotten still enough to hear or feel the ever present connection to the source? Are you not aware enough to even know what that connection is like? Well, if that is the case; it is no time like the present to begin. If not now, When?

What am I being today? Do I like what I see? Does it feel good to me; does it create happiness and joy?
Ask yourself those questions. Really and truly ask. Look inside and see for yourself. If you are feeling less than happy and joyful begin to realize that it is simply because of what it is that you are being, doing, thinking, perceiving and judging. If those things are happening in your life, accept them in this moment and then decide for yourself who and what you want to be. Once you have decided upon those things, and then make sure every action that follows corresponds with that. Remember, you are the creator, the director, the producer, the set designer, and the whole cast within your play of life. Are you creating a drama, suspense or a comedy? It is up to you!

The quickest way to change the world is to be the change you want to see. Want more peace in the world? Be a peacemaker in your own piece of the world. Want to end hunger? Find someone to feed. Wish for more integrity in politics? Be honest and truthful in your own interactions. The world around us is like a mirror. Trying to “fix the problems” out there is like trying to change the image you see in a mirror. You can’t change the reflection, but you can change what is being reflected.
