When you look back over your life, what do you see? Do you see a person that you like, or one that you dislike? Do you see behaviors that are united in nature, or divisive?
Take the time to sit down, close your eyes and let your inner-self show you the scenes from your life that you need to see. It might be a flash of memory when you held one of your new-born children for the first time. It could be a moment from your childhood when you first learned how to ride a bicycle. Just let go and be open to any memory that “pops into your head.”
When you are finished, think about your life. You might go all the way back to your first memory. Walk through some of the high points, as well as some of the low points. Then look back over the different periods of your life, such as your teens, twenties, thirties, etc. How were those different periods for you? Do you like the person that you were during those times? Do you see growth in yourself from one period to the next?
Now look at the last two or three years? What type of person do you see? Do you like the person that you see? Most certainly, everyone will see some behaviors for which they are not proud of, so do not beat yourself up over anything. Just observe these memories taking note how you felt during those times.
Now, look at this moment now. Do you like the person that you see in yourself? Are you happy? Are you committed to happiness, or is it something that you’ll “try” to do?
Take a moment now, to decide how you would like this “period” of your life to be? Maybe you have been a bitter, angry, cynical person and you would like to let those emotions go by you. Maybe you have been mourning a loss, or the loss of your youth and you would like to begin to live again. Maybe you are in a relationship that has been unfruitful, and you would like to be “courting” again to refuel it.

Now is the time to change and to grow! It is never “too late.” Let yourself be the person that you would like to be, starting right now! Then, years later when you look back on this period you can mark it as the “turning point” in your life. It all begins now, it just needs your permission to begin!
