I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey work of the stars. — Walt Whitman

On a blank piece of paper draw a circle in the middle. This is you. Now begin charting your circle of influence, your connections. Write the names of the people closest to you, your friends and family members who mean the most. Next, extend lines to the things or activities that you hold dear. Make a connection to your work if it is something you value. Each person and object has probably led you to another connection, another acquaintance. If required, tape new sheets to the edge of your paper to give yourself room to write. Think and keep extending your connections until each branch, each person or extension no longer extends to a connection that you value. This is your circle of influence. Notice any patterns. See where your interests lead you. Check which connection has brought the most valuable people into your life. See how your energetic connections skip between time, space, borders and continents. In the next two days contemplate ways you can extend the lines where they stopped, or re-chart other lines to cover areas that were bypassed.

Believe it or not, the power of our minds, both the conscious and particularly the subconscious, have the ability to alter reality. And it starts with your reality. Possession of higher consciousness also delivers an abundance of choices. You can either help yourself, or choose to ELEVATE the whole. In these days of a beleaguered planet, the truest intention for the whole, leads directly to the most spectacular rewards for you.
