The person you want to be is the person you already are.

A teacher said this as I was listening to a guided meditation on Insight Timer. I have heard it before, but today I HEARD it and decided to apply it.

The Universe is infinitely friendly and loving. It hears your thoughts and turns them into reality. The reason you want to be that person is because you already are.

Go forth. Be inspired. Create your day.
