Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.
Some people in our modern world, only believe in things they can touch and see. Others, believe in the invisible -- potential, possibilities, and a better future. However, in order to be open to a better future, we have to be open to things changing, and to believing in people (including our own selves) also changing.
This week, we bring you articles focused on helping you see the potential around you (and inside of you), and provide avenues and visions to help create this new loving and compassionate world that resides in our hearts and that we yearn to make manifest all around us.
This involves trusting ourselves, trusting others, and trusting that the future can indeed manifest on a more aware and loving level than we perhaps are seeing around us right now. So this week, we encourage you to believe in magic, in the future, in yourself, and be willing to let go and forgive actions (yours and other people's) in your past, present, and future. And then, move forward taking the actions necessary to create this world our heart dreams of. Paraphrasing Wayne Dyer: If you can believe it, you will be able to create it and see it becoming reality.

Wishing you enjoyable insightful reading, and of course a wonder-full, joy-full, health-full, and loving week.
