A Wave

February 15, 2026

“Without crazy peaks and valleys, this life can also go so smooth!!”

Three readings. A song that says the rest. And inspiration for whatever this day is here to teach.

Read — the readings that opened the day

1

Misunderstanding the Reality of Spiritual Growth

Medium - All Those Questions

“It’s almost certain that we’ll notice even more of our previous patterns following a spiritual awakening. Awakening doesn’t erase our patterns; rather, we’ve opened a door to deeper awareness of our past behaviors. We now have a new perspective through our awakening; we don’t have to attach or lose ourselves within those patterns. We begin to experience a new freedom. Today, we begin to realize that we’re a big part of creating drama in our own life. We don’t have to act out every time simply on our instincts.”

A Deep Breath of Life

Alan Cohen

“Today, help me to be patient to receive all of Your gifts. I pray to focus on what will truly bring me serenity and peace. All realizations and quality things come to me at the right time by the hand of a gracious loving and forgiving God.”

Twenty-Four Hours a Day

Hazelden Foundation

“The world doesn't need super men or women, but supernatural people. People who will turn the self out of their lives and let Divine Power work through them. Let inspiration take the place of aspiration. Seek to grow spiritually, rather than to acquire fame and riches. Our chief ambition should be to be used by God. The Divine Force is sufficient for all the spiritual work in the world. God only needs the instruments for His use. His instruments can remake the world. I pray that I may be an instrument of the Divine Power. I pray that I may do my share in remaking the world.”
