glorify

"Glorify who you are today.

Do not condemn who you were yesterday.

Dream of who you can be tomorrow." -Neale Donald Walsch

If I really put my energy into glorifying who I am each day, I wonder what my life would look like. Would I make the same choices? Would I be happier? Would I finally achieve a permanent state of inner peace? How would I glorify myself anyway? What would that look like? I wrote ‘if’ because if I am really being honest with myself, I have spent most of my life condemning, done quite a bit of dreaming and not so much glorifying over the years.

But there are passages into now-time that I have discovered.  And when I can successfully slip through, the chains that bind me to the past loosen. And there are times that I can actually slip my hands through and experience the real freedom of being present, and the illusion of time simply fades away.  The dreams that come from this state are of a different variety than the ones I typically have because I am living in them as I experience them.  That is a glorious thing.

Things often get in the way, like our thoughts, to do lists, and the mirror. Once we find the space to let go of everything that we really truly just cannot be in control of, which is pretty much everything, we can begin to see what is right in front of us...ourselves. Each day we learn something new. Today we are here, as we are, and now we can work on creating the change we wish to see. We are given the opportunity to expand who we are to be. We are amazing just how we are, who we are, and what we might someday be. Every person deserves a huge celebration for just being themselves. Let’s celebrate together. Life is such an amazing journey.
