No one can give you wisdom. You must discover it for yourself, on the journey through life, which no one can take for you.

There are so many wonderful secrets and sciences in the world we can use as tools to better our lives. some of them have been hidden from us, others we have flatly rejected. We have rejected our own culture and traditions, yet without investigation we accept the world of others as truth. When we close any portion of our minds we close of a part of the world.

Is it fear that keeps us locked in? Is it hopelessness? Or is it stubbornness? How can the descendants of genius be so closed to new information? How can the children of the first civilization be lost and hopeless?

What will it take before we open our hearts and minds to the world that awaits us? What would our ancestors think if they saw us lost and struggling? Unable to do with so much more than they had.

Today I will open myself to another part of the world..

To be who you are and to become what you are capable of is the only goal worth living.

Life is not hopping from one mountaintop to another because there is a valley between. At times, the valley is a job you hate but need to feed the family.
The valley might be a failing or toxic relationship. The valley could be a child who goes astray or a friend who betrays you. The valley could be an illness or the death of a loved one. The valley is dark, bleak, ugly and frightening.

But there is value in the valley.

When you are in the valley, you begin to muster the strength and power buried deep within you. In the valley you begin to think, pray and tap into your incredibly divine self.

The valley gives you a time to rest, to heal, to rejuvenate your being. It is an opportunity to look up, to see and remember those powerful mountain climbers who made it before you: your grandmother, your hero, even yourself.

You have been in the valley before. Remember what you did, how you got up and out. Let the thoughts and memories of that success be the rope you use to pull yourself up.

I am taking time to learn the value of the valley..
