You might say that there are two kinds of energy in existence - your own energy, and energy that isn't yours.

The tricky part of this is knowing the difference between the two. It's not that the energy that isn't yours is wrong, it's that it won't work as well inside of you as your own energy will.

Today is a great day to begin a new practice: say yes.

Especially if you have an automatic habit of saying no, start to say yes instead.

Your ‘yes’ welcomes new experiences and opportunities into your life. New people come along with those new experiences. Fresh points of view help you to break out of old tired routines.

A child creates new realities through the art of play.

While spending long hours in her imagination, she invents never-before-heard-of scenarios, making up fantastic characters and universes as she goes. If a child is given toys that allow him to make it up as he goes along, so much the better. Whole worlds have been constructed with the sticks, stones, and mud found in the backyard.

A neighbor’s garden becomes a fairyland, and a scary tree is haunted. Children don’t need a lot of stuff to create, just some unscheduled time, space, and their imaginations will do.
