We limit life with our mind-made expectations. We imagine we are seeing the road ahead, when most of the time we are only seeing the small portion illuminated by what we already know.

We carry energy into every exchange we have. Whether speaking, texting, writing proposals, or interacting with strangers, it is powerful to remember that each act of communication is supported by our state of consciousness.
