Inner Journey:
Discover the treasures inside
“Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.”
— Denis Waitley
Peace, joy, health and well-being can only be found inside us. They exist within us now, as our essential nature, waiting for us to call on them.
No matter what our income, body shape or situation in life, each of us holds the power to take the inner journey to find our treasures within. This is what makes the inner journey so exciting!
“When we cannot find contentment in ourselves, it is useless to seek it elsewhere.”
— Francois De La Rochefoucauld

A Note from the Universe
It’s human nature,to unthinkingly project present circumstances, people, and feelings into your future, as if those you have today will follow wherever you go. Creating a future that will very much resemble today.
Which is fantastic when those circumstances, people, and feelings fill you with joy.
But for those cases when this is not true, let’s chill the unthinking part, and think again.
You can do this,

Kindness
“Heaven in sunshine will requite the kind.”
-Byron
It is our nature to be kind. And most of the time, kindness comes easily to us, especially when we’re on the path and everything is going our way. The difficulty comes when we encounter an obstacle – maybe a large, rude, imposing obstacle! Those are the times we need to remind ourselves to be kind. Those are the times that some may say we are “tested.” How kind are we really? How patient? How loving? How understanding? Because we are human, there may be times when we need to make a greater effort to express kindness. But the more often we do so, and see the far-reaching effects that kindness has, the easier it gets.
-Lissa Coffey coffeytalk.com

Daily Tarot: Death
You may be tempted to backtrack a few times today and fall back on some old habit or procedure that used to work better than it does now. After enough of this, you’ll get the message that it’s time for a change, or at least a different approach. You don’t need to have the same old conversation over and over.
