Sometimes we don’t realize how in charge of our lives we really are. We do not recognize how powerful we are to create the life we desire. We think change has to come from the outside—that we have to be the recipients of change. In other words, something outside of ourselves needs to happen to us before we do something about it, like, you'll be happy when you get a new job, you'll be loveable when you lose weight or you'll be fulfilled when you have the perfect house.

However, yesterday's eclipse brought an influx of new ideas and inspiration. Your conscious mind might not be perceiving them all at once, yet the seeds have been planted in your psyche and a new beginning has begun. Today, recognize that somewhere within you, there is a new identity waiting to be born, new ideas to put into practice, and amazing adventures to be experienced. A whole new world is on the horizon for you but you must be willing to see and experience things from new perspectives and in a whole new way. Today consciously begin anew by seeing things as a beginner, in a new fresh way. Today let go of what you were to become what you might be.

Just for today, I recognize that today is a great day for new beginnings. I am open to the magic and the mystery that new beginnings bring. Each day is a new opportunity. Yesterday is over and done. Today is the first day of my future. I am willing to try new things. I am willing to make mistakes and grow. I do not look backwards. I only move in new directions with newfound wisdom. My life gets more fabulous every day. And so it is.
