Just a thought; something I read and elaborated on this morning and found it inspiration to me.

A computer can be programmed to respond at your command. And by conditioning a dog with rewards and punishments, you can teach it to obey. People have wills and must make decisions; but it is their choice to make.

Undoubtedly, we can become what we envisage. – Claude M. Bristol

Whom do you admire?

Without realizing it consciously, are you changing within, moving away from what others expected from you and seeking your own identity? Our authentic selves are constantly alerting us through subtle clues, such as thoughts of the people we honestly admire. But authenticity rarely screams at us; it is usually a whisper. Maybe today you will cast your net for inspiration and consider forming a friendship of kindred spirits-someone whose personal sense of style you admire. If you begin to trust your instincts, you’ll always remain true to your own sense of style. Consider those whom you admire as personal tutors. Not that you have to become like them, but to find your authentic self. One day you may notice a pleasing and revealing pattern that inspires you to grow into the wonderful person you are within and remain true to yourself.

Finding yourself!

For whoever finds me finds life. (Proverbs 8:35)

You are accustomed to seeking yourself in others, in achievements and labors and in diversions unsuitable for you. If you do not see My goodness in you, you will always be unsatisfied with your life and searching for the unattainable. You are who you are, as I have made you, and in Me you will not want for any good things. I feed the spiders, I feed the porpoise, I protect the hawk and the sparrow, and I watch over you. I give you good. I created goodness in you. Find Me and you will find yourself.

2 Chronicles 6:41; 2 Thessalonians 1:11

If you haven’t already found yourself, may you find what you are looking for.

Have a blessed and wonderful day.
