“One day you will awaken to discover that your life is all you wanted and hoped it would be. You will not find everything just the way your head said you wanted it. It might not be the way you planned, but you will awaken to your dreams; your dreams of joy, love, and peace; your dream of freedom. You’ll see beyond the illusions. You’ll transcend your old, limiting beliefs. You’ll wake up and notice that your past was just as it needed to be. You will see where you are today is good. You’ll look at tomorrow with peace, faith, and hope, knowing that while you cannot control some of what life does, you have possibilities and powers in any circumstance life might bring. The struggle you have lived with for so many years, the struggle in your heart, has disappeared. You’re secure; at peace with yourself and your place in this world. One day you will awaken to your heart’s contentment. Let that day be today.”
