Groundhog Day and Freedom

Greetings Friends,

Remember the movie Groundhog Day, with Bill Murray as a sarcastic television weatherman who, by a twist of fate, is forced to relive one day of his life over and over? It's a feel good movie that many of us enjoy watching again and again, with many wonderful messages.

Now I could go into a huge section here about all the different meanings that can be found in this movie. Or I could go with the simple and the obvious: Change must come from within. Now, I know you've heard this many times before and yet it is one of the most profound and freeing realizations any of us can have and put into practice. Ah there's the rub....putting it into practice...releasing the desire to change others in any way, shape or form and concentrating only on ourselves.

As you are reading this today I invite you to go within and ask: What must change within me so that I am the person I truly desire to be?

Spend a few moments in silent reflection and the answers will be revealed.

Or like Bill Murray in the movie repeat the same thing over and over until, like Bill, you are done with that and look within to find out what needs to change in you. And that is where real freedom lives.

Freedom from having to control anyone or anything else. The Law of Attraction gives that right back. In freeing others we are automatically liberated and given the freedom to just allow ourselves to fully be too! What a gift!

Happy Groundhog Day :)
