Inner Journey:
THE PAST IN THE PRESENT
“If you accept a limiting belief, then it will become a truth for you.”
— Louise Hay
Pick one aspect of your life, e.g. your health, your competence, your prosperity or relationships, and think back to when you were a child. What messages about this subject did you hear from adults at that time that are still playing on your subconscious tape recorder? Messages like: “Men can’t be trusted.” “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” “You’re not smart enough to succeed in business.”
How is your world reflecting your beliefs back to you, today?
“There are no limitations to the self except those you believe in.”
— Seth

“Life is not having been told that the man has just waxed the floor.”

Whoops! It’s those surprises that make life interesting. We never know what is just around the corner for us. And isn’t that wonderful? We live with uncertainty, so good things can happen at any time.

Daily Tarot: Justice
A past wrong against you might be set right today. It’s important that you give others a fair chance and don’t automatically discount what they have to say or offer. You don’t need to satisfy everyone but you do need to make the effort to let them have their say and their moment to contribute. Be confident and don’t feel threatened by anything.
