Waking up in the morning, thoughts of yesterday float
through my head. And something that I regret, some little (or big) thing that I
did or didn’t do, gives me a sense of remorse, maybe even guilt. Maybe in some
small way I judge myself, condemn myself and look for a way of punishing
myself.
Sound familiar?
I’ve already pulled out the bat and began to beat myself up
over the things done and undone. And the greatest punishment that I seemed
compelled to perpetuate is the act/inaction of repeating it. Is that really
necessary? Really?
What is the new attitude that will allow the release of
these obstacles and momentum?
Today is a new day. I start fresh today, with the grace of
an open window called today. Bringing yesterday in through that window is
totally unnecessary! Each day, the grace of this Universe allows us to start
fresh, without a tally of wrongs and inadequacies. Start fresh with an eye on our
potential and power, the shining light of all that we were born as.
Take off the dark glasses of ego-imposed judgment, no longer
ground-focused, and look up at all the choices that serve joyful intentions and
core values.
The bat I was using was the bat of the perpetuation of
sabotaging my self-actualizing. It’s not only a matter of “doing” the things
that are in alignment with my purpose and joy, but rather a process of
forgiveness and letting go of the self-imposed sentence of a poor set of
directions in conflict with my internal GPS.
This is the open door to the grace of our untapped potential, and the unleashing of our greatness. When we
leave the guilt and resentment at the threshold, this day, this hour is the
door to our present joy.
I am here for you when you need the support to create that joy.

Thanks for the reminder - every day is a new day, every hour a new hour, every minute a new minute, and every moment a new opportunity for change. Those ole' bats just keep bringing up the past which is over. How many times must we punish ourselves with guilt, regret, judgement?
