  | | Actions Speak Louder than Words |
by Madisyn Taylor Words carry a lot of weight in this world, from how we say them to what we say with them, but it is through our actions that we bring things into being. This is what we mean when we say to one another that actions speak louder than words. In many cases, what we say doesn't necessarily line up with what we are doing, and it is here that it becomes clear that it's easier to talk about doing something than it is to actually do something. At the same time, it's easy to keep doing something that we don't necessarily acknowledge ourselves doing verbally. It's good for all of us to take a look every once and a while to make sure there is alignment between what we say and what we do.
For example, it's easy to talk about our dreams, but it takes a lot more energy to take the many small steps that lead to bringing our dreams into reality. If all we ever do is talk about it, we begin to lose faith in ourselves because nothing changes on the external level. In this way, being all talk and no action is actually a form of self-sabotage. It's also useful to examine our actions to see if, through them, we are following through on our words. For example, in expressing concern about the environment, we can look to make sure that we are taking the simple steps we can take to put that concern into action.
It's always helpful to observe what we talk about and who we say we are, and then to observe what we actually do in the world. Sometimes we realize our actions haven't caught up with what we are saying, and at other times we see that we might change our words in a way that it will more adequately reflect what we do in the world. Either way, the more we align our words and our deeds, the clearer we are in expressing our truth in the world, and the more powerful we are in bringing it into reality. |
DailyOM Course Spotlight by Sara Wiseman Each of us enters this lifetime through the miracle of birth--conceived by humans, pushed into the world through the body of our mother. It's said that we choose our families; that we choose our parents, siblings, cultures, even the time and place we are born into, because our souls have determined that this is where we will learn fastest on our journey of soul growth. Well-chosen or not, we are all born into family, lineage, tribe. Now, it would be lovely if the family we've landed into is brimming with nothing but love and light, a continuous feast of honey and roses. However, for many of us this is not the case. In the next four weeks, we will work deeply, and with intention. We'll be contacting the spirits of your ancestors, and we will be connecting, repairing and releasing the energetic strands and emotional cording that exist in every family's karma. It is serious energy work. However, I have crafted this course to be welcoming to all levels. That means, you don't need a background in spiritual intuition or shamanic ritual to do this work. I will guide you through, step by step, at a level that you feel comfortable with.

 | | Deliberate Decision-making | Cancer Horoscope February 28, 2018 You might feel like making important decisions spontaneously which could mean that you might act rashly today. It may be that your desire to act quickly may be the result of your feeling that it is best to get things over with and go with your first reaction. Even though your first impression is often correct, perhaps this would be a good time to consider the issues that lie before you much more deeply. Rather than acting impulsively you might think about using your breath to slow you down and connect with your intuition. If you have to make a decision today, for example, you can briefly close your eyes, take deep breaths and ask your inner wisdom which choice would be right for you – this conscious act of deliberating could help you to see which path would work best for you.
Our intuition is a powerful tool for decision-making, especially when we take the time to listen to it. When situations present themselves we can easily be so taken with new ideas or possibilities that it is difficult for us to stop, think and then act. Deliberately slowing down doesn't mean that we discount our intuitive hunches, however. Rather it allows us to take stock in a situation and truly consider what all our options are – by doing so we will be much more likely to make wise choices. Giving yourself time and space to think about your choices will yield you a much more productive outcome today.

 | | Seeing Ourselves |
by Madisyn Taylor Many of us do not take the time to notice and acknowledge how beautiful we are as humans. We may be great lovers of beauty, seeing it in the people, places, and things around us, while completely missing it in ourselves. Some of us feel that it is vain to consider our appearance too much, or we may find that when we look at ourselves, all we see are imperfections. Often we come to the mirror with expectations and preconceived notions about beauty that blind us from seeing ourselves clearly. As a result, we miss the beauty that is closest to us, the beauty we are. Sometimes we see our beauty in a shallow way, noticing how well we are conforming to social norms, but failing to see the deeper beauty that shines out from within and that will continue to shine regardless of how we measure up to society's ideal.
If we can cut through all these obstacles and simply appreciate how beautiful we are, we free up so much energy. We also become less dependent upon the opinions and feedback of others since we become our own greatest admirers. Many of us know that after a great yoga practice or a long, deep meditation, we are more able to see how beautiful we are. This is because we have released some of our baggage, thus unburdening ourselves and summoning forth the spirit that dwells within us. It is the heady combination of the divine spirit and the human body that conveys beauty more accurately than anything else.
To keep ourselves in touch with our own beauty, we can surround ourselves with images that reflect our beauty back to us--photos of a relative or child who has our eyes, images of teachers who embody spirit, or self-portraits that capture our essence in a way that allows us to see ourselves anew. The best way to keep ourselves in touch with our own beauty is to keep looking deeply into our own souls and opening our eyes to the human being we see in the mirror every day. |

| | Reminded Of Your Strengths | Cancer Horoscope February 27, 2018 Any lingering uncertainties that would typically have dissuaded you from aiming for ambitious goals will likely have no effect at all on your choices today. You may feel more successful than usual, and the confidence you gain as a result can serve as the inspiration that drives you to reconsider your current path. Since you will likely be called upon to choose between many opportunities today, your thoughts may waver between visions of prosperity and moments of worry. However, you can easily rid yourself of the latter by mulling over the goals you had to accomplish to reach your current level of abundance.
The personal successes and professional triumphs we have enjoyed in the past can give us the confidence we need to pursue new dreams when we regularly look back upon them to remind ourselves that we are capable of great feats of achievement. Such remembrances are a testament to the confidence and courage we once exhibited in the pursuit of our goals as well as a demonstration of the dedication with which we once embarked upon our individual journeys of achievement. We believe in ourselves more fully after reminiscing because our recollections remind us that no matter how uncertain we might feel in the present, our innate drive and devotion will help us overcome a wide variety of personal and professional challenges. You will feel truly accomplished today when you look back on your life and realize how much adversity you have successfully overcome to achieve your ambitions. |
