LOOKING WITHIN

“Looking behind I am filled with gratitude, Looking forward I am filled with vision,
  Looking upwards I am filled with strength, Looking within I discover peace.  
                                                                                                                        Apache prayer
It is so inviting to look outwards for answers and expect others to hold the key to my happiness.  Blaming comes much easier than taking responsibility, making you the problem means I don’t have to change or challenge myself.  Unfortunately at the end of this road lies disrupted relationship, anger, victimization, hurt, and resentment. 

Today I choose to look within where I can discover peace, promise and find empowerment.  I will hold myself accountable for the choices I make, the things I do or don’t do this day.  I will look towards my higher power for reassurance and hope.  And at the end of the day I will give thanks for the blessings I have encountered and the love experienced and shared.  I will face tomorrow with courage resting in the vision of possibility and connection.
