Speaker 1 (00:00):
Clyde Lee Dennis. Here and today in our seven Good
Minutes extra segment, we're reflecting on this beautiful truth. Each
sunrise whispers the same invitation. Today you are free to
become who you choose to be. This quote captures something
profound about the nature of time and identity. We often
think of ourselves as fixed beings, carrying the full weight

(00:23):
of our past into each new day. But the sunrise
reminds us of a different truth, that each day offers
us the freedom to choose who we want to be,
how we want to show up, and what we want
to create. The word whispers is particularly beautiful here because
it suggests that this invitation isn't forced upon us or
shouted at us. It's a gentle offering, easily missed if

(00:46):
we're not paying attention. The sunrise doesn't demand that we
change or grow. It simply presents the possibility quietly and
consistently every single morning. This freedom to choose who we
become is both liberating and responsibility. It means we're not
prisoners of our past mistakes, old patterns, or previous limitations.

(01:09):
But it also means we can't blame our circumstances or
our history for who we are today. We have agency,
choice and the power to consciously shape our experience. Think
about what this means for your daily life. Every morning,
when you wake up, you have the opportunity to choose
your attitude, your priorities, your responses, and your intentions. You

(01:32):
can choose to be more patient than you were yesterday,
more grateful, more present, more kind. You can choose to
approach challenges with curiosity rather than fear, to see opportunities
where you once saw obstacles. This doesn't mean ignoring your
past or pretending you can completely reinvent yourself overnight. It
means recognizing that while your past has shaped you, it

(01:55):
doesn't have to define you. You can honor your journey
while still choosing to grow beyond it. The sunrise happens
whether we notice it or not, and this invitation to
begin again is always available, whether we accept it or not.
But when we consciously receive this daily gift of renewal,
we align ourselves with one of nature's most powerful rhythms,

(02:15):
the rhythm of death and rebirth, ending and beginning, rest
and renewal. Here's something to reflect on if you truly
believe that each sunrise offered you complete freedom to choose
who you become. What would you choose differently about today?
And here's an affirmation to carry with you. I receive
each new day as a gift of freedom, choosing to

(02:37):
become the person I meant to be with every sunrise
