A Soulbyte is a spark of the infinitesimal, a portion of the endless wisdom and the magic from which we all come, to which we all innately have access, and to which we will all one day return.
Our Daily Soulbytes are channeled messages posted early in the morning. They are meant as support and helpful guidance for navigating life’s many twists and turns. We encourage all of our readers to feel the energy of each day themselves and to make responsible choices and decisions.
Who is going to be in charge today? Who is going to speak your lines, make your decisions, and move you through your day? The real you or some other part not keeping your best interests in mind? Wake up and pay attention. You may be glad of a little awareness and the presence of mind to hold your tongue, change your mind, and move with caution. It might be all you need for the real you to remain in charge!

Optimism will keep you focused and always on a path of success, for an optimist knows no other outcome. On the other hand, it’s harder to convince a pessimist that all will be well in the end. How do you choose to think, optimistically or pessimistically? It’s really up to you, but to tell you the truth one is always happier than the other, looking forward, the end always bright. Think you can’t change? Of course you can! Is it time to adopt a new attitude? Try optimism!

Nature is composed of night and day, light and dark, the opposites that create the tensions and the sparks of life. So too all human beings have similar natures, the opposites within. How seamlessly nature flows between the two, each taking its turn. So is the challenge of all human beings, to reconcile the opposites within themselves, to know fully both what lives in the light and what sleeps in the dark. Nature is alive no matter what phase it is in, the creatures of the night as alive and active as those of the day. Nature never sleeps. And yet the human being sleeps through much of life, barely aware of the awake self.
Strive always to fully know the true nature of self, to understand the inner creatures—seen and unseen, heard and unheard, light and dark—for it is there that your salvation, your creativity, your truths lie, and your reconciliation too! Know thyself.

You are a container, a vessel. All that you are resides inside you. You are responsible for taking care of your vessel of you, inside and out, not only the physical but the mental, emotional, and spiritual self as well. All that you are needs care and attention. A healthy attitude, a lively presence, and good intentions are all part of keeping the container of you in tiptop shape. But don’t forget to keep it calm, its energy flowing and in good shape too. It’s all important, and so are you!

Moods come and go. Clouds descend and smother awareness, judgment, attention; interactions suffer and full presence is greatly compromised. Coming out of the clouds one realizes just how far away one had been, how distorted reality, how compromised one’s focus. It’s a good learning experience to be moody, cloudy in the head, removed from reality.
Next time try to remain aware of the self during such cloudy and moody phases and note how mysterious the world becomes, how what one says and does can seem surreal and unintentional. Try to snap out of it and come back to reality, to the present moment and the true self, but if that is not possible enjoy your time in the clouds and learn what you can while there. One day you will need the lessons again, for at some point you will be called upon to put the experience to good use, if you can remember!
