As we head into the frenetic end of the year whirlwind, it is important for you to stop and remind yourself to appreciate everything that you have, everything that you've let go of and how much you've achieved and accomplished this year. And although your ego may be telling you that the changes in your life aren't happening "fast enough" or in the exact way that you thought it "should", you have changed. Today, remember just as trees grow toward the light in barely perceptible spurts and then suddenly they stand tall reaching towards the sky, you too have been growing and changing in small ways, every day. Today, allow yourself to slow down and appreciate the beautiful life and world that you live in and how far you in reality have come. You are exactly where you need to be right now, accept it and be grateful for it all.

Just for today, I look at all the positive things in my life and I am grateful. I recognize that every experience that I have is perfect for my self growth. I am always in the right place, doing the right thing at the right time. All is truly well in my world. And so it is.
