It’s a magical, powerful moment to share, when a person begins to see a new reality, a new potential for him/herself.  When s/he starts to believe, to feel that spark, that her/his life can be more of what the heart craves and the soul sings.

Deepak & Oprah’s MINDFUL MOMENT

There is a beautiful saying in India’s ancient Vedic tradition: “If you want to recreate the world, look at it with fresh eyes.” Today have the intention to see one thing as if for the first time. Look without the camouflage of your memories. Sometimes the hardest thing is to truly see someone we have known for a long time, such as our partner, child, or friend. We assume we know who they are, and so we stop seeing. It is also important to look at yourself as though doing so for the first time. We may assume that we know ourselves, but as we are discovering, who we are is much more than our limited ego-mind can envision. Through the eyes of your true self, take a few moments to consider how truly magnificent you really are.

Fresh eyes–that’s another magical gift.  I intend to be mindful of when I am playing old stories in my head, rather than being present;  seeing as though for the first time.  This also resonates with one of the messages of Sunrise Journeys–we always get a fresh start each morning.  Love The Sunrise!

My self-reward for the day–I borrowed Life is Beautiful from the library.  What an uplifting, moving story.  Finding joy in adversity!
