This year has "awakened" us to many things about our lives that we had previously ignored, rationalized away and perhaps were completely unaware of. And, awakening happens when the veil drops away and we discover we have very little, if any, control over what happens outside of ourselves. It’s easy to believe in the fallacy of control when things go according to our predetermined plan. But, we have all learned that our predetermined plans are usually but an illusion. It’s much harder when things do not align with the image we have created for ourselves and things do not turn out the way we thought. However, our limited vision of our lives in reality is keeping us limited and stuck in less than we deserve. Today, it is time to expand your own perception of reality and surrender to your path, not to your master plan, not to your grand scheme. Waking up is a process that unfolds the moment you decide to relinquish control and surrender to the flow of life. The more you trust your own path, the more peacefully you can navigate your way through this world. In each moment you can choose gratitude over disappointment, love over hate, abundance over lack, and trust over fear. Through these daily choices your original vision can be transformed into a life more magnificent than you ever could have dreamed of. Today, awaken, stay awake and know that the real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes. Today open your eye, keep them open and you will see your world in a whole new way.

Just for today, I surrender to what is, I let go of what was and I have faith in what will be. I let go of fear and doubt and Life becomes simple and easy. Flow easily and effortlessly with new experiences, new challenges and new people that enter my life. I am safe and the Universe supports me in every possible way. Everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is
