The future depends on what you do now. Each day, you are creating your future life, so use your time wisely. Our lives aren’t unfolding by chance; there’s an underlying order that seeks to materialize from within us, waiting for the right conditions. Despite appearances, when you realize you are so much more than you think, you’ll see countless possibilities. Life’s events aren’t always caused by us, but we have the power to choose how we respond. Aligning yourself with the divine rhythm involves becoming still, quiet, and listening.
