There is only ONE voice of truth and that is the voice of LOVE. And Love NEVER has an unloving thing to say.
The wonderful thing is that all change, any change, begins with ONE moment of choice. No matter what the history, no matter how long and how awful, it only takes one moment of choice to set a new course.
And yes, we may slip back into the old trail. It is a familiar and well-practiced one after all but we now know that we can do differently even if we’ve only done it once. That one time is enough proof that we can and so we do.
Besides, the Ego is masterful at its construal of events making us believe that they are much worse than they actually are, that we are much worse than we actually are and that those events were completely devoid of any good – they never are.
There is always goodness in everything. Importantly, we know that there is only ONE voice of truth and that is the voice of LOVE. And Love NEVER has an unloving thing to say.
This is not about denial. We are not denying that we did something that we realize wasn’t good for us. We are not denying that, despite knowing that, we have continued in our behavior. And we are not denying that we have tried in the past to change and have not succeeded.
But, and this is critical, we are ACCEPTING the very profound and indisputable TRUTH that each moment is a new moment and that Life is lived MOMENT TO MOMENT.
Accepting this truth fills us with hope and confidence. It doesn’t matter how many times we fail. Each moment is a new moment. It doesn’t matter how many people we know wish to remind us of the past and hold us there.
Each moment is a new moment. It doesn’t matter how loathsome our self image has been this far. Each moment is a new moment.
Just one moment is all it takes to set us on a new course. If you want it, you can do it. We have no control over other people and situations but there is one thing we do have complete control over – ourselves – how we show up, what we do, how we allow ourselves to be. No one can take that from us.
So, go ahead, make a different choice in this moment. Do not let the Ego trap you in projections into the future – Will I be able to keep this up? I don’t want to fail again. I won’t be able to sustain this…
No, just focus on this moment. And when you’ve got through this moment, try the next and the next. Go easy on yourself. You’re not making a decision for the rest of your life (though in truth, it could profoundly affect the rest of your life). You’re making a decision for just this moment. That’s all. Go on, do it.
Just this moment.
