And a time always comes when you discover that you have two hands: one for helping yourself and the other for helping others.

Mirrors are fickle, a play of light and shadow. The only true mirror is within yourself. Clear your mind of doubt and prejudice, and you will see yourself as God sees you—beautiful.

Are you juggling too much? Sometimes you don't give yourself enough credit for what you accomplish in a day. Today, celebrate your accomplishments.

When you look, you see reflections of your being. When you listen, you hear echoes of yourself. If you don't like something about what you see and hear, there is no point in smashing the mirror; change who you are becoming.

Focus on doing what you can and leave the results to God.

Your feelings are telling you something important. Do not rush to act on the first whim; take time to hear the full message.

Let the greening of the earth in springtime be a sign for you that a new beginning is always possible, even after the longest, coldest, darkest winter.

Have you ever brought a special gift, working hard just to get it, only to be refused by the person you were giving it to? That didn't feel right, did it? Our relationships are greatly enhanced when we become not only generous givers but generous receivers as well, when we know how to accept gladly and wholeheartedly, embracing the gift as an extension of the giver. It takes both giving and receiving for care and generosity to flow unimpeded.

Letting go of the past is not easy, especially if you have wounds that have never properly healed. But the past is past, and living there may be preventing you from fully experiencing the present. Likewise, fear of what may be looming around the corner can also prevent you from fully enjoying the present. Live in the moment and look forward to eternity with God; now that's a great present.

Yes, of course, you want to control everything so it happens just the way you want it. But at the end of the day, we control nothing—it's all in God's hands, has always been, and will always be. So, do what you can, and then let go and let God handle the rest.
