⚠️ My Inner World is currently under construction. We apologize for the inconvenience. We cannot process orders at this time.
Everyday we have the opportunity to embrace a new beginning, a chance to make a fresh start, to do something wonderful and exciting. Many of us however look at these moments with caution, fear or uncertainty. What is it about a new beginning that often causes us to pause and stop in our tracks?
Do you remember the first time you heard that question? Actually it wasn't really a question it was more like a smack, an unexpected whack that was meant to stop us dead in our tracks. The subtext being, how dare you be so big, shiny, bright and uninhibited? Many of us heard it for the first time when we were quite young. There we were being the star in our own movie when someone (usually a close relative, parent or teacher) decided we needed some intervention and flung this sentence at us like a shoe.
Were we really to big for our britches? Did we really cross over a line? Or was our light just too bright?
Have you ever noticed how much stress can occur when you have a chance to make a wish? Anyone who has ever heard the story of Aladdin, the genie and the three wishes is familiar with the struggle of choosing the perfect wish. Who would think that this wonderful opportunity could instigate such a flurry of considerations? If you are a "good person," and many of us are or want to be, then how can we have a personal wish without first making sure that we bless the world, our families and our friends. Deep inside of us we know a wish isn't worth a darn thing if we don't have good health, love and happiness. So what do we do when we have the opportunity to form a personal wish and send it out into the universe? Is it appropriate? Is it selfish? Is it right?
