How
did the rose
ever open its heart
and give to this world all of its beauty?
It felt the encouragement of light against its being;
otherwise we all remain too
frightened.

Let the Light into Your Life

A subject that often comes up in blogs and emails is the question of goals and purpose. 

If you are unsure of your goals and purpose is TOOLS the right place for you? 

If you want to find your purpose or set goals how do you do that?

If you are happy where you are what can you gain from TOOLS?

Trust the process and let in the light.  If you are unsure of your goals, can’t find your purpose and you want to figure it out, don’t worry.  The more you pressure yourself the harder it is and the more the process becomes uncomfortable.  You will turn a positive experience into an anxiety-filled dilemma, and quit.

Instead simply decide to enjoy the positive routine.  As you accept positive encouragement from the community and turn your life in a positive direction, the light will shine on you.  Your mind opens up and you will begin to experience the world in a new way.  Like the rose, things will bloom naturally.  You can’t make the rose bloom faster by shaking it or trying to force it.  You have to let the positive nature of the environment create its effect on the rose over time. 

If you feel that you are where you should be right now and are not looking for new goals, then can this process be for you?  Just because you are already in shape, doesn’t mean you should stop going to the gym.  TOOLS provides the mental gym work that keeps your life in shape. It’s not just about setting goals. TOOLS is about learning how to appreciate and take responsibility for every part of your life. 

Another important factor is you can contribute to helping shine that positive light onto the community.  Together, if we participate and work towards change we will help create a positive bloom everywhere.

Namaste: there are many definitions. One that I like, “The light within me bows to the light within you.”

Hoping that your light shines bright,
