Today I will see myself the way I'd like to be.

Today's card comes from Dr. Dyer's "10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace" deck. I pulled the 8th secret - Treat yourself as if you already are what you'd like to be. Hmmmm. Interesting considering this has been on my mind lately. Add last night's meditation exercise into the mix and I really believe the Universe is trying to tell me something. I've been in the community mental health field for over 10 years, working with people who suffer from chronic mental illness and addiction. The people I'm used to working with are the people most avoid on the street. They are the ones on public assistance, that always look disheveled, that have borderline IQs, etc. And, I love them. I was doing good work with my group until changes in the system made it impossible for me to do my job the way my clients (and I) needed. So, I left and decided to go to school (again). And, I've been struggling with what I was going to do with another degree. Where did I want this to take me? How can I heal the people I'm passionate about helping outside the realm of diagnoses? I've been pondering that question for a year now. Then I started this class. And, I feel as if I've found a home. I'm not sure where this path is going to lead yet but I'm going to actively pursue this interest until I'm there.
