How much time does it take?

How much time does it take to create a new future?

Not as much as you may think. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and single steps do not take up much time. You must believe that you are a child of the Divinity. You are a child of the Goddess and God, just as much as Jesus was, as Mother Theresa was, as I am, as we all are. And as such, no one has a right to put you down, not even and most especially not yourself! So many people walk around with voices in their heads - their mothers, their fathers, their teachers, their brothers and sisters, the neighborhood bullies, and many others, all telling them that they are no good or that they aren't good enough or that they have to do this or that in order to gain approval, to be worth anything. Tell them this:

SHUT UP!!!!

That's all it takes. That is your first step. When you have a thought about how unworthy or bad or whatever you are, tell that thought to shut up! Tell it that you are a child of the Divinity, that you were put here on this Earth to do great things, that you are instrumental and vital to the creation of the new Future. Tell it that, and tell it that every time the thought comes up and any other time you wish to tell yourself it. That is what you need to do first. And it doesn't take up much time. Tell your thought to shut up and then remind yourself of what you once knew so very long ago - that you are wonderful, that you are here for a reason, that you are unique and special and have divine-given talents. Tell yourself the truths that you have not heard in much too long. Put the truths back into your head and silence the lies. Do this today. Do this tomorrow. Do this again and again. Each of these steps will take you closer to your potential, your ability, the self that you are deep within. Take these steps. It doesn't take much time at all. It's as swift as thought.

That's how much time it takes.
