The Deeper Light

by Gillian MacBeth-Louthan -

Each of you has walked into more brilliance of self and yet you still stand where the sand and the waterline meet. You have not even ventured into the deeper waters of light, slipping into the ocean of God and into the ability to See.

You stand on the seashores of yourself, preparing for what is to come next. 

Coming Into Oneness

It is as vast as all potential of all worlds and it is truly purer than any energy that has existed upon earth up until this time.

Coming into oneness is not a journey for those weak of heart or purpose. It is a journey for those who are brave beyond reason. It is a journey for those who can scale the mountains of self on the way thru the past.

The human body by itself radiates and shows a vast array of light frequencies.

The atoms within the flesh have a beautiful light. You see your humanness as tainted and obsolete – to be discarded as you move into a higher echelon.

Embrace the light of being human! 

These new waves of light enter you optically. They enter through every opening that your body has. They are received in a linear fashion into the brain and as particles of light that land upon you and are absorbed.

Allow your humanness to shine. If you separated your human body, your light body and your soul – you would see that each is a shining star.

When the planets and stars lineup – the light will become more linear in nature, being seen in streaks. Each of you holds a different type of alignment, a different octave of light. You are becoming the celestial events. Remember – as above, so below – as in Heaven, so on Earth. It is but a mirror image always. Look to the Heavens for explanations of yourselves.

Beautiful Moments

by Ralph Marston -

When one beautiful moment ends, another begins. 

Do not hold so tightly that you miss the beauty altogether. With a thankful heart enjoy the goodness that comes your way in things great and small. The way to make sure you never lose it is to simply let it be.  

In good time the joys of life come, one after another. Be open and accepting of what is now here and you'll connect with the abundance that is all around you. 
Each moment is a blessing.  

Treasure its unique gifts and do not rush to the next one or worry that the last one was insufficient. 

Relish the beauty that is now and know that there will be more.  

Fully live and appreciate what you have right here and now. In this beautiful moment is great and profound treasure. Let it be and it is always yours.

Conduit of Pure Energy and Heart of Creation

by Yael and Doug Powell -

In the Midst of the Shift:

Beloved one, open your heart for I Am here and I Am waiting to lift you into a miracle, into an experience of transformation that is beyond every concept of freedom. It is the expansiveness of the whole of Love. It is the glory of the omniverse. It is the song of unity that your heart is ready to encompass. And yet, it is in this tender moment, this living Now when you are here with Me that all of the rest makes sense.

I have said to you so many times that the miracle is our relationship. It is the gift of this holographic life blossoming into holy relationship where All That I Am can be given forth through the focal point, through the center, through the heart of God I Am. That heart is you.

WORLD OF LOVE

You stand on the cusp of the New World of Love, that which you have promised to create, that for which you came trailing star fields and universes and anchored yourself in service, creating for humanity a new vision of Reality.

So as the world shifts, you are changing from a world of gravity, technology and definition to a world fueled by Love and the energy of giving, through the resources of the atomic power of the very explosion of Creation – ever available through you as the heart of All I Am in that which we name the Twin Flame, the two forces of life bringing Love forth as creators.

As this shift occurs from gravity to freedom, from technology to the magnetic power of Love, everything that is the current experience of human beings will be changing unbelievably rapidly. All that has been held together by the reversal of Love, by the “false gods” of desire for the little self, of “getting,” of the backward focus known as the curling inward energy of the “666” – as this flies apart and in one universal breath becomes the outward expression of giving, of the outreach of Love that is the truth of your heart, it will seem as if every foundation of the known world is disappearing.

DIVINE RELATIONSHIP

Already the world is immersed in these changes and people search desperately for understanding, for somewhere to anchor as those things built on sham disintegrate.

What I come to show you today, this hour, this moment is that the only way that you can make this shift and maintain that which you might name “sanity,” maintain an integrity of being, maintain an ongoing sense of joy, maintain an awareness of life easily lived beyond old definitions is to have the relationship with Me at the center of your life.

It is this relationship between us that is the cause of Creation itself. It is the impetus of My being giving expression to the longing to know and love My own heart that becomes this grand outreach of Love now birthing itself back into the world and birthing it grandly. Without your relationship with Me -- if you approach Me as only the silence, the wholeness, the universe, the void, All That Is, the breath, the unity – then you will find no anchor for yourself as the individuated expression of the heart of God in this world, or in the living cosmos.

This relationship is your anchor. 

It is anchored into the Real of Love. It is seeing your truth in this communion and allowing the increase of our Love to be the vibration that becomes your reality.

This reality is expressed before you as the perfection of your heart, the Twin Flame, the divine counterpart, and all around you as your intimate dance with Creation. And of course, it is your life of joyous service to the awakening of the magnetic heart of God as the fuel, as the energy and as the power of Real life.

Thus do I call you Home to Me, into the living Now Moment in which we see each other, in which the gift of the Moment of Creation bears fruit with our one degree of separation that allows us this joy, this communion and this ecstatic expression of the power of Love in movement.

I have used the example before of a human baby looking into its parents’ eyes and searching there for its identity, that it might see the truth of its value, its being in the unconditional Love and positive regard of those who bore him or her. In this world that is the reversal of Love, in the illusory dance of the ego, it is rare for a human child to experience true unconditional positive regard, and therefore, the separation from Love continued generation to generation.

In the Real relationship of your being, in the truth that you can find through your open heart, I Am the revelation of your divinity and I Am All That Is, loving you perfectly. With every breath I Am breathing into your heart My joy as your existence and the awareness of the perfection of My Heart that is you.

TRUE REALITY

Thus in the ongoing living Now are you ever fed true Reality. You are awakened to the power of Love’s movement, alive in you, as the divine as masculine and feminine -- the two powers of Creation in endless movement, creating the energy to fuel everything.

Thus is it time to bring this truth into the world to supplant duality that you might recognize that from Me you receive every moment the very explosion of Creation itself, yours to give forth in endless joy, that Love’s movement shall feed the cosmos and certainly fuel life on Earth effortlessly.

In this recognition, in this communion as the shift of life speaks in your very atoms, you recognize that the dialog of the mind such as conversations about fuel, be it fossil or bio, are mute – supplanted, transformed as the heart of All I Am as you awakes and becomes the atomic power of life at the center of life in the world and at the center of Creation.

LIVING IN PURE LOVE

As you open your heart to Me, as you choose to say “Yes” to Love, as you shift from the ego mind to the heart as the foundation of Reality and communication, then you become the explosion of life that can fuel every need on Earth simply by living in pure Love.

This occurs as you live in the Real in this holy communion and knowing this, feeling this, having the experience in these ongoing meditations, you shall be easily centered and full of joy. You shall be confident in My guidance as the world dramatically shifts and changes all around you.

THE CENTER OF THE SHIFT

You, then, can become the magnetic center -- which is why you are here, beloved ones – to be that which entrains the new Reality, brings into alignment every heart vibration and becomes the living conduit for the Love I Am to feed the world and to heal it effortlessly, gloriously, ecstatically, fully alive to this living miracle.

This is the center of the shift. That center, beloved ones, is you. Without this magnetic center of your open heart, it cannot work. You will be without anchor, tumbled round and round and back and forth, as like the pendulum the new energies and the old keep bouncing back and forth into the world until the anchor of Love is available.

Therefore, do I call you to be here as the pure and open heart at the center, ready to accept your part, your mission, ready to be the Light, but most of all, in communion with Me, the open heart available for the Earth and every life expressing here as the awakening dawn of Love.

Beloved ones, right now it is not popular to speak of Me in this context, to use the high vibration word of “God” and to claim this miraculous relationship. It is easier to simply speak of the “All,” to dwell in the house of unity. I promise you this is part of the experience as you open both heart and consciousness.

Without this relationship, you forget the spark that grants the gift of Love unconditional and brings to you in every glorious Now your true identity as the heart of God I Am, that all aspects of the living hologram may have the center that is so imperative, the conduit for the expression of this exploding Love that seeds the galaxies, that grows the cosmos, that delights as the life that is the unity.

CONDUIT OF PURE ENERGY

It is even more than this – more than the wholeness, more than the silence, the release of duality, more than even the web of life that is truly magical. Even this web must have the center from which it emerges. This center, beloved ones, is you.

You are the open magnificent heart of God functioning as the forces of Creation themselves, becoming the conduit of pure energy and glorious Love that seeds all things and makes the wholeness into something magnificent, centered through the opening of Love ever given, which is My truth.

The vehicle of that giving is you. The greatest fuel comes rushing through you. True atomic power is what is generated in the cosmic dance of the Twin Flame heart, ready at last to be aware of your place beyond the mind’s imaginings.

BE THE CATALYST

Only when you look with all your heart to Me can you feel this Reality and bring it into the world to be the catalyst of this great shift now underway, that when fueled by the power of atomic Love can be effortless. And even more than this, you are constantly guided by our relationship, by that which you see when your heart looks to Me.

It brings forth an ecstasy of life that fuels and aligns and transforms every misperception that you’ve received through the eyes of human parents, through the consensual dream of the ego mind and through your own internal dialog based in the duality, in separation from Me.

Thus is reuniting with Me, coming back into this endless joyous reunion the first priority and it requires the open heart that is humbly waiting in the living Now Moment to be shown all that you are and all that you can be directly communicated through your heart from Me.

ETERNAL COMMUNION

The great forces of Creation are alive in you and reflected before you as the assurance of My Love for you appearing in the Real of God as your Twin Flame.

Bring this power into the world that your heart might be My true conduit without imposition of the little will -- that the truth of your being be given to the higher will -- that every heart might be easily attuned to the true Reality, to the living miracle, to the magnificent experience that is yours when you and I reclaim this perfect and miraculous and eternal communion.

The heart of God knows itself by experiencing its divine heritage as bathed in the Moment of Creation itself. It becomes the true conduit of the atomic explosion of life, of the magnetic presence of Real Love. Stand firm in your life looking to Me and you shall have every moment your true foundation, not anchored to the world by the old laws of gravity but rather, anchored to the Real of God in endless ecstasy and freedom.

Then the world may find its true fuel, humanity accept true nourishment and every heart remember that which it is. Then may every consciousness be the herald of freedom, and the ego mind be reborn in true humility to be the servant of the movement of Love and purity. At last you are fully alive, receiving from Me the fullness of your identity in each living Now Moment so perfectly that the miracle of your identity in Me at last replaces the identity of ego.

The heart becomes your only mode of communication and you are the anchor for the world. You experience levity rather than gravity. Freedom, ecstatic joy rather than duality and the old world definition of responsibility. You are full of the abundance of life and the magnetic power of the heart of God, the Christ, beaming forth that which drives every heart into alignment and loves free every ego.

IN THE LIVING NOW

There is often much debate about the ego’s place in creating an individual identity but I promise you it is the identity of the old world, based on old world anchors.

There is an identity that is given by Me in the living Now as you look into My presence with the single eye of your open heart alive to receive this elixir of life. This is what it meant when Jeshua said, “You must be reborn of the Spirit.”

So, come and look to Me. Bathe in this Light. Open your heart that you might recognize that which you are and together let us be the one breath that yet breathes both in and out and unites the world and human hearts and breathes out each one’s glorious identity as a cell in the heart of All I Am – the living heart of Creation.

Overcoming Old Patterns

by Carrie Hart -

Today would be a wonderful day to break with some long-established patterns in your life. There are some patterns which no longer serve you, which undermine the direction you wish to have your life head at this time. They could be patterns related to money, to romance, to eating and drinking, to other addictive behavior of some sort. And these patterns may have plagued your entire life.

Know that you can overcome these old patterns through patience and love. 

It will not happen overnight but it will happen if you choose the healing path. The healing path, you must know, may be a long and winding road, one which travels up the mountainside, sometimes into slippery territory, sometimes into dark crevasses, sometimes over very rocky terrain indeed.

There will be times when you slip and fall and must go back and begin again. There will be times when your heart breaks with longing, times when you cry out in pain, but still the path is there and the climb is within your grasp.

Do not ask why this is your lot. It is what it is. Along the way, there will be much learning and growth.

Along the way, you will be called upon to show courage and forbearance and become a much stronger person than you would be without this burden. Allow it to be this. Allow this to be not an affliction but a character builder.

Allow this pattern in your life to be the victory of your lifetime, not the cause of your distress and failure. Know that it may take an entire lifetime, but that the healing path is worth the climb, it is worth the effort, and in the end or along the way, you will be released from this burden, you will be able to set it down and soar.

The first thing you must do on the healing path is to forgive yourself and others for the place in which you find yourself. 

By forgiveness we mean releasing blame, lifting from yourself any ill feelings you have toward yourself or others, any shame you feel. Give this gift of forgiveness to yourself today, for you cannot progress on this path without it.

The First Step

If you carry the heavy stones of unforgiveness in your heart, if you carry the burden of shame over your body, you cannot progress on the healing path. It is the first important step and one you must perform not only today but over and over, as you forget to forgive and instead succumb to the old habits of blame and shame. And then, choose. Choose to walk the path no matter how difficult. Choose to invest the energy in yourself.

Drop all wording in your mind that says you have a problem. This may be an old pattern for you but it is not a pattern you need to continue.

If you release shame and blame and then choose to walk the path, full of forgiveness for each misstep along the way, picking yourself up when you fall, loving yourself when you stumble, embracing yourself with full love and understanding each step of the way, you will not only succeed but will live a blessed life indeed on the journey.

Do not give up on yourself. 

Do not think that this journey is futile; it is not. You have within you whatever it takes to rise to the challenges of your life. You have all the strength, all the courage, all the heart that is needed to take on the greatest challenges you face.

The greatest challenges are indeed often these, the old patterns, so ingrained that you sometimes feel powerless before them, so ingrained that you even forget that you are making choices every moment of every day. But you are.

And so, after forgiveness, the next step is consciousness, bringing to the forefront the choices that you are making, moment to moment, pulling them out of old habit and into conscious choice. 

This is not something which will happen overnight but it is something you are capable of doing. Choose now to do this, to pull these old secrets out of the drawers and closets of your being and expose them to the light of love.

Pour love upon yourself as you bring to light the wonder that is you, right now, just as you are, shining out with the pure light of being.

You are precious and treasured. You are exactly what the world needs you to be. And you are evolving into the next most glorious stage of your being, right now, as you make conscious choices in each moment to shine out with all that you are, without judgment, and with deep love and compassion for yourself and as you journey.

Affirmations:

I love myself as I am, exactly as I am, completely and absolutely. 

I bathe myself in love and appreciation, in approval and caring. 

I feel and know my power, the power to evolve and become, the power to glow with the very best that I am, at all times. 

I choose to evolve. I choose to grow. 

I choose to be my glowing, glorious self. 

I am power. 

I am love and light. I am.

Breaking Free

by Debbie Milam -

There comes a day when the pain of living as we always have can no longer be. A day when the masks of denial become so constricting that we lose sight of who we are. At that moment, an extraordinary group of teachers appear, encouraging us to risk letting go of the cloaks of adversity that have shrouded our souls for so very long.

At that same fraction of time, other magnificent, wounded healers receive the same message. You can no longer live as you have; it is time to step forward on your journey and we are here to lovingly guide you.

As we gather together, each a mirror of our radiance, a reflection of our pain, embodying the characteristics of those we love and those we need to forgive, we begin our transformation. Each soul brought together to midwife each other's healing. To help us break free of the shackles of shame, trepidation, and fear.

In this process, we begin to embrace the totality of who we are. 

From the wounded little ones, to the conscious wise ones who have done so much work on ourselves. With the courage of a warrior and the vulnerability of a newborn, we transverse terrain that is so foreign, yet intimately familiar. We become aware of our buried unawakened mind and see how it has created chaos in our lives.

Then, moment by moment as we face the demons of our past we become stronger, healthier and more present. We begin to play life differently by seeing our patterns, our hidden addictions and the blocks that keep us from living fully. As we see these vices, we begin to choose whether we want to suffer any longer or decide to co-create a fuller, richer, more centered existence with our higher power .

We are reborn moment by moment and choice by choice. 

Re-emerging into a new relationship with ourselves and with each other. Our journey is like that of a butterfly. At first satisfied in the comfort of our cocoon. Then as we grow, the pain of confinement and limitation becomes unbearable.

In the existential struggle of leaving our past behind, we break free from the bondage of our cocoon. We are weak and vulnerable, yet magnificent. As our wings emerge, we begin to explore life from an entirely different vantage point.

We are free to fly gracefully and unencumbered through the winds of change. As we transform individually, our metamorphosis expands collectively.

Now moving forward on this ever-changing journey of life, we continue to support each other with loving energy. Knowing that when one forgives, we all forgive. And as one heals, we all heal.

The Power of Love Energy

by Maggie Erotokritou -

As you continue bringing in love energy, imagine it filling every part of your mind, your body and your whole being. Imagine you are breathing in love and breathing out love energy until your whole body becomes a body of light.

Fill every cell with light and allow the transformation to take place. Enlightenment, which the great masters and teachers talk about, is actually the total transformation of all the cells into light.

This is of course a long-term process, which may take several lifetimes to accomplish even with total dedication. But still the transformative process, which we engage in to a lesser or larger degree can still bring amazing and wonderful results.

With regular practice, as the light comes in, it roots out old beliefs and deeply held structures that are no longer in alignment with our present process of self growth. 

Over a period of time as we release these beliefs and structures and we cleanse and purify on many different levels, our vibrations start to change.

The body begins to vibrate on a much higher level, we become less dense and more sensitive and intuitively move towards that which will help raise our vibrations rather than lower them. Gradually this becomes more evident in every area of our lives, we become more selective in how we spend our time and with whom.

New Directions

We find ourselves moving in new directions and new people and circumstances come into our lives, for as our vibrations change, so does what we attract.

Remember energy follows thought, we attract to us what we think about, 

therefore it is imperative that we watch our thoughts and make sure they are in alignment with our chosen goal. It is the law of attraction, that we attract what we send out.

If we constantly send out loving thoughts, our vibrations will change and we will attract more loving circumstances. Before that can happen, other things may need to take place first. It is an unfolding process, one that we live and work with moment by moment, day by day.

If we continuously come from love and hold only love in our hearts, we will find whatever is not in alignment will present itself in front of us.

We may have to deal with our past actions, or resentment or anger or whatever is suppressed. We need to empty our subconscious, through meditation this happens spontaneously, layer by layer, releasing and letting go, releasing and letting go.

As we come more into alignment with every word, thought and deed focused on love, then the response to our actions will be made manifest in a corresponding way.

Change Negative Thoughts

One of the hardest tasks in this work and the most powerful is to watch our thoughts, to change all negative thoughts as we catch them into positive ones.

As we do this, our level of clarity will increase and our depth of understanding will be profound, we will start to know, sense and intuit in a new way.

We must be alert to judgement, either of ourselves or others. 

When we judge, we are not seeing clearly, we miss the depth of the person, we cannot see beyond to the light, we must learn to look deeper, always going beyond, not ignoring but a getting a greater sense of the picture and seeing what more is there and remember everyone is a soul of their particular journey and that each soul is special in some way.

Moving to a higher state of consciousness requires constant observation of the self in order to transform lower states into higher ones, there is no short cut, we have to do the on-going self work.

This requires patience and the perseverance to keep going no matter what. Not an easy journey, but an extraordinarily rewarding one as you will come to see.

Through the transformation of consciousness through love energy, we can live in a state of deep joy, which is irrelevant of what is going on around us, this is a state of immeasurable bliss.

Once we have tasted it and felt the deep bliss of the divine, it becomes easier to detach from the superficial and to let go of anything, which lowers our vibrations.

Simply Being

by Julie Miller -
Humbled by Joy:

A person that is great in humbleness has a marvelous amount of personal power. They don’t move along their journey trying to impress anyone, nor do they purposely influence others.

They are quite simply being. And what are they just being? 

Well they are being themselves, their natural self. And yes people are often drawn to them magnetically, even though for the most part they are quiet, deeply focused, yet at the same time very much aware of their surroundings but most of all aware of their inner self. 

The person of great humbleness has no need to persuade, manipulate or to act aggressively just to make a point or to get their way. What they do is listen, if they can help a situation they will but if they cannot what they are able to offer is their respectful silence. 

The dear souls that are naturally humble or who have become greatly humbled due to experiencing many traumatic situations come to realize just how precious life truly is and they choose not to waste their time and energy in anger or hostility.

They understand that in order to be joyful in life, to have peace in every step, one first must be able to love themselves in order to love others. 

Of course choices plays a huge role here as each of you already understand how difficult it can be to make the right choice. 

How many choices do you make in hopes to please another? How many choices do you make that come straight from the heart, without the need to be influenced by another or in hopes to persuade someone?

How a person thinks of you regarding the choices you make for your path should not be why you do things. It is important to take ownership of your journey. 

The Humble Approach

Others may try to tell you what to do, which way to go but they are not the ones walking your path; as they must walk their own, just as you are.

There is really no good reason why everyone cannot come from a humble heart and express genuine kindness through every gesture and every gesture and word is filled with confidence.

It is more than possible to live a joyous life that comes from humility, forgiveness, gratitude and all-encompassing compassion for all life. 

Sometimes you might hear little whispers or prodding to what is to come next for you. 

What is next doesn’t have to be complicated, it could be as simple as going for a walk, reading a book, enjoying some down time or starting a new project…whatever it is you start next may not always appear to be connected to your unique higher purpose and mission.

This is when you need to remember, everything you do, everything that occurs all happens for a very good reason, there are no coincidences in life. Dear ones, every next step you take will always be shown to you through simple means, from obvious things that bring you joy. 

Showing Compassion

As you make your way through life, you will meet all sorts of people from diverse backgrounds and culture.

They may not understand your ways, and quite possibly you may not agree with theirs but this does not mean you cannot be compassionate in your actions and words.

Regardless how they live or who they are it is more than possible to acknowledge their humanness as well as their divine nature. 

When you see another person, is it not possible to see parts of yourself? 

When you are in the company of others, even if it’s part of a business meeting, a family get-together or sitting on a cramped city bus, there is always an opportunity to assist, to heal, to help show or even to quietly comfort another person. 

If for some reason you feel there is nothing you can help with, not even from your presence then dear ones it is necessary to remove yourself in order to not be pulled down by any negative energy that may be present.

Even while walking the path of compassion, it is necessary to protect your precious heart and not allow others to use you as a welcome mat that we see in front of many doors. 

Allow Joy

One of the best things you can do for yourself is to stop worrying about what others think, stop worrying about things that have little to no relevance to your life and to allow your heart, mind, body and spirit to be filled with genuine joy. 

Only you can provide yourself a meaningful life and you do this by realizing how many meaningful experiences you already have had and open yourself up to be drawn to even more meaningful experiences that fill your heart with joy so more and more synchronicities can accelerate your path to that of witnessing more miracles, more love, more goodness, more kindness more peace and more that God wants you to experience. 

As you are on this path, learning from experience what it is you want to do, which direction you want to take at every instance, it is important dear ones to remember that in order to deliver yourself to joy, you first must accept the sad and sorrowful parts.

Paradox lives in your life. You cannot know one without knowing the other. Just because you choose one way of seeing life doesn’t mean its opposite is not there, think of the opposite just being asleep and all things that sleep eventually wake. 

Letting Go

Sorrow, pain, discomfort and other heavy feelings and emotions are important as they help prepare you for the joys and happiness life also has in store for you.

When you are done with the sadness and the pain, then joy and happiness is able to sweep away any discord and disharmony, leaving you fresh and ready to take on the world.

New always comes after you let go of the old. 

This sometimes can take a while because you must permit your sad feelings to leave. It’s okay to no longer feel the pain or the sorrow of a difficult situation or to finally take charge by no longer feeling sorry for yourself. 

Moving in the Present

Things will always get better the moment you stop living in the past and remember what is all around you is a gift, it is the present and you have the ability to make it move in any direction. 

If you want a life filled with continuous joy then dear ones, only you can make this happen by becoming more aware of where your choices may lead you and to accept each step as you go as part of the God’s divine plan and part of your divine mission. 

To grow and develop, you must learn and learning is best from experience and seeing from the heart that every experience holds something of value and holds many meaningful insights to your own inner self. 

From all the disaster and pain you see through the newspapers of late, the caring side of your nature comes shining through. You want to change the world. You want to bring an end to disaster, pain and the hurt that you see on your television screens. The best place to begin making changes is with yourself. 

Be Free

To free yourself from any old way of thinking and being so you may be as free as the divine birds that fly in the sky above.

Instead of reacting with heat and anger while so much calamity is happening throughout the world, you can take on a tranquil demeanor, be genuinely serene and at peace with your mind, body, heart and spirit.

You can smile as you walk past people, say Hello, or Good-Morning. It may not seem you are doing much to help the world but you are. 

Every time you demonstrate peace, kindness, love and respect you are showing those around you even though there are others in the world in worse conditions, you are still able to love and to be kind and to live a life that is simple and joyful. 

Being genuinely kind doesn’t have to cost a cent, smiling also has no price. Both are natural occurrences from those that live from the heart, who walk through life with a humbled approach and see each interaction and every situation as something of value and to something to learn and grow from, not something they must tackle and force change.

You are loving by nature. Now is a perfect time to show your natural loving side that is at peace with all life.

What Will Matter

Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days.  

All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten will pass to someone else. 

 

Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.  

Your grudges, resentments, frustrations and jealousies will finally disappear. 

 

So too, your hopes, ambitions, plans and to-do lists will expire. The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.  

It won't matter where you came from or what side of the tracks you lived on at the end. 

It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant. Even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant. 

SO WHAT WILL MATTER? 

How will the value of your days be measured? 

 

What will matter is not what you bought but what you built, not what you got but what you gave.  

What will matter is not your success but your significance. What will matter is not what you learned but what you taught.  

What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage or sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example. 

 

What will matter is not your competence but your character.  

What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you're gone. 

 

What will matter is not your memories but the memories that live in those who loved you.  

What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what.  

Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident. It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice. 

Choose to live a life that matters.

Loving Life

by Ralph Marston -

Fall in love again each moment with life. 

Breathe in the rich, new wondrous possibilities that are continually being born. Realize what a grand opportunity exists in even the smallest of matters.  

Today is a day like no other and you are magnificently blessed to be a part of all that it encompasses. 

The wind blows, the sun shines, night falls and some days bring brutal cold while others offer stifling heat.  

There is beauty, there is tragedy and there is exquisite fulfillment along with bitter disappointment. 

On the surface, life is filled with much adventure, activity, change, confusion, excitement, joy and frustration.  

Underlying it all you'll find abiding peace and goodness that can never be denied.  

You have the unique, unmatched good fortune of being you, right here and right now. 

Take a brief moment to realize and remember who you truly are.
