All of us have hit the snooze button once or twice in our lives in an attempt to catch a couple more winks or to remain in our dreaming state. But what if that hitting the snooze button was a metaphor for your life? What if each time you hit the snooze button and chose to stay asleep, you pushed away precious opportunities to wake up? And what if each time you pushed the button, you were actually postponing your life or keeping it so limited? Today, since the Universe is giving us all wake up calls to see and feel so many truths in our lives, set your intentions to stay awake, even if it leaves you temporarily feeling sad, disappointed and perhaps a bit angry. There is a reason why many of us choose to remain asleep. Waking up means that we feel everything—the good and the bad. Waking up means that we have to take responsibility for our lives and start moving toward our purpose. Waking up means that we get to see how we have sold ourselves short and where we have accepted so little from the people, places and things in our lives. Waking up means that we get to see how we've ignore our inner voice and allowed ourselves to believe in illusion, even if we knew better. And all of this can be scary and exhausting. It’s perfectly understandable that we hit the snooze button. Today however choose to stay awake. Life is filled with good and bad and everything in between. And it’s only by choosing to wake up and to remain awake that you can really experience life to its fullest. It’s true that waking up can be painful, but it’s also such a beautiful way to live. And it sure beats sleeping your life away. Today, choose to stay awake and begin to live your life to its fullest, with new purpose and with greater wisdom.

Just for today, I live in the now moment and I am wide awake to my opportunities. I release old patterns, places, people and things and awaken to my pure self. I choose to know the truth and the truth will set me free. I am now fully awake. I create a wonderful new day and a wonderful future. I am wiling to let go and out of this situation only good will come. And so it is.
