REFLECTION FOR TODAY
Although it is scary to risk being open and vulnerable, the person who is able to do so in a relationship has much to gain. The person who remains closed may feel in control, but this is only an illusion and can block the love needed for a meaningful existence. Each time we risk being open and vulnerable we allow someone to truly know us. We open ourselves to the experience of feeling loved. We also learn about our capacity to love.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY
May I risk being open and gladly accept the gift of love.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
To be known is to be loved.

REFLECTION FOR TODAY
I am me. I can only be me by being unwaveringly honest and aboveboard in thought, word and deed. I can only feel I am making progress if I open my mind and listen attentively to others, allowing them freedom of expression and action, as I hope they would do for me. I can only achieve some measure of serenity by practicing tolerance, even if I do not want to. I can only be free of fear by trusting my Higher Power. I can only be at peace by sharing my burdens and joyful discoveries with others.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY
God, please give me the mental and spiritual strength to face whatever comes my way today.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
I am me and that is all I have to be.

REFLECTION FOR TODAY
When I am open to growth, I discover many things about myself. At times it may seem as if this knowledge comes from outside, but actually the knowledge has been within all along, waiting to be discovered. As growing persons, we are attracted to those things which help us go toward our greatest potential. As I have been willing to risk following the path which feels right, life holds challenges and adventures beyond my fondest dreams.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY
May I have the courage to follow my dreams with action.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
I will be open to discovering another part of my truth.
