Are you taking responsibility to move your life forward? And are you taking responsibility for your inner state?

There's a connection between your inner state and forward momentum.

Your inner state is reflective of how much you allow yourself to be aligned with the creative power of the universe, and how much you allow the power of life to flow through you.

"You are responsible for your life. And if you're sitting around waiting on somebody to save you, to fix you, to even help you, you are wasting your time because only you have the power to take responsibility to move your life forward. And the sooner you get that, the sooner your life gets into gear." —Oprah "The present moment is your life.... Once you've made the present moment into your friend through openness and acceptance, your actions will be inspired, intelligent, and empowered, because the power of life itself will be flowing through you." —Eckhart Tolle
