Take full responsibility for the self, for what you think, say and do, for how you choose to act in the world and how you take care of yourself. No one else can take care of you, guide you or show you the correct path if you have not done work on yourself and are prepared to take over your life. Childhood is a time of structure and guidance to teach you how to take over in adulthood. Some children are neglected or abused and not well supported while others are showered with gifts. Your beginning matters only in what you do with it. Either it catapults you or stagnates you, but even that is up to you. Do you see the glory in every deed done for and against you, and the grand opportunity being offered to take over your own growth and progress? Ah, life! Isn’t it grand?

Sending you love,

Life’s lessons are often presented in abrupt form but more often than not in repeated form, in repetitive behaviors, do-overs, or vague wanderings that lead nowhere. When lessons come in abrupt ways, such as a major jolt that shifts you out of your comfort zone, look with awe at how life is knocking you over the head. When lessons come in repetitive ways look with equal awe at how life expects you to wake up and find a new path. Whether abrupt or repetitive, life’s lessons yearn to be embraced, for they are showing you the way that your Soul wants to go, a new path of your evolution, asking you to step up to a new phase in Earth School, to advance to a new level. And of course you are up to the challenge. What choice do you really have?

Prepare yourself each day to accept what comes to challenge you; be ready for anything so that nothing overwhelms you. Expect the unexpected and know that you can handle it. In this manner nothing will ever be too much but will only be the next lesson in this life, following up on what you experienced and learned in your previous life.

All of your lives are interconnected, building one upon the other, so that what you are challenged with now is appropriate and will lead you into your next most profound and meaningful process of growth and evolution. Contemplate that and know that you are on the right track.

Learn from your mistakes. Rather than be embarrassed by things you have done that have not worked out, turn them into lessons. Let the lessons of your own doing be as important as other lessons in life. For life is full of lessons, a school set up for you to learn and grow and understand what it means to journey through life as a spiritual being in a physical body. Every day a new lesson awaits. What will you learn today?

Sending you love,

Lessons come in so many forms. Pay attention to how they come to body, mind, and spirit, each in their own unique way. Pay attention to what they mean and what they indicate you should do and what you should not do. Listen to affirmations from body, mind, and spirit when you understand the lessons and how they persist when you don’t. Sometimes lessons are subtle and sometimes strong, but every day they show up, asking you to change. Begin to change by first paying attention to what’s happening within the self.
