A Little Reminder

Glory on high from the highest … Do not forget God in all of this.  Yes, focus on your friends and the joy they bring you.  Focus on loved ones.  Focus on your guides and angels and Jesus.  But what of the highest Power?  Where does God fit in?  In the spaces in between; that is where.

God is in your friends and family, and all of your helpers for sure, but also in every nook and cranny and space you can imagine … and even in those you can’t.  God is the all-pervading Force …the joy and the sorrow, the pleasure and the pain, the All That Is.

Give thanks to God.  Give thanks FOR God, for without God, there is nothing.  But even in the nothingness, there you will find God. 

Note from Suzanne:  Thanks, Sanaya, for this reminder.  And a reminder from me ... go back and read this again, substituting other words for God.  Start with "Love," then try "Spirit" and any other term that can increase your understanding of something that is beyond our understanding to begin with.  Have a blessed day!

Raising The Spirit

Do not sit in a corner alone and sulk.  Get out with others and laugh.  It is far too easy to fall into a trap of sullenness and self-pity lost in your own thoughts.  Do not get us wrong … there is quite a difference between sitting in the silence and retreating into a shell.  The former is done with the intention of communing with your Higher Self.  This is a far cry from being alone.  The latter is a form of Self deprivation. 

The higher energy engendered by being part of a group cannot help but lift you up.  Soak up this higher energy as a means of raising your spirit’s own vibration.  In so doing, you will have truly raised your spirit.

Roles

Boys will be boys … another of your expressions.  Yes, and girls will be girls.  These are stereotypes … roles you have assumed.    And what of it when one deviates from the accepted role?  That one is open to scorn and derision.  Do you fit in a box?  Do you sometimes wish to escape from the roles you have assumed?  We speak not of gender roles, but of the many labels you have pasted onto your body in this incarnation.  Do they suit you?  Is it merely stereotypes that keep you acting and thinking as you do?

Break out of the mold.  Do not allow yourself to stagnate.  Refresh your mind and your labels.  Be creative.  Surprise those around you.  As you stretch and flex, fill all of your thoughts and actions with love and enjoy not only the reactions of those around you, but the fit of this new skin you wear.  We think you will find it quite enjoyable.

The Most Potent Potion

Love is the elixir of life—a strong, potent potion that will heal all ills.  Begin with the emotional imbalances such as anger and fear.  Have you not thought of this as mental illness?  It is quite rampant in your society.  How do you cure this illness?  Bring in what is missing.  Of course, it is far easier to change the self than others once the intention has been set.  Turn up the love.  Turn it up full force and it is impossible to feel anger, hatred, and fear.  So radiate your true nature that soon you begin to have an effect upon others without their even being aware.  Now, is that not a potent potion?  Ingest it from moment to moment and proceed with your healing.

The Eyes of the Soul

See into the eyes of the soul.  Yes, the physical eyes are a gateway, but so is the heart.  You hear the word “see” and immediately think you must gaze with your physical eyes.  This is not so.  You have eyes of spirit that are not located in the head.  They are not shaped like eyes as you know them.  We call them eyes only because they are used for perception and lead to greater knowingness.

Seeing with the eyes of the soul means tuning into the heart and the spirit as a whole.  Much greater awareness will accompany your every step and breath when you see with new eyes.  Yes, use your physical eyes to see more deeply with those eyes, but only because in so doing you connect the physical with the spiritual.  But realize that you could be physically blind and still see in this way.

Gaze about today with new sight and rejoice in further awakening.

Who's In Charge?

Nary a moment goes by that ego does not try to tell you that you are different.  Nary a moment does pass that ego does not try to cement its grip on your heart.  It knows that if your heart were fully open from one moment to the next ego would no longer play the starring role.  If the heart were fully open to all others, you would feel the real connection you all share and would finally realize you are no different at the soul level.  Then what would ego do?

Do you see why you continue to have thoughts of separation?  At the moment, ego plays a starring role, and so its voice is much louder in your thought.  Gently tell ego to step aside and then listen, listen, listen.  As the voice of spirit grows ever stronger you will be able to put ego in its proper place.  It plays a vital role as human operations manager, but spirit rules the heart.

In the Garden

Growth is slow for some and rocket-like for others.  Why is this?  Look at your plants.  They grow in such a disparate way as well, do they not?  Some sprout and grow and blossom far faster than others.  Does this make one more beautiful or more valued than others in the Creator’s eye?  Of course not.  All are beautiful, treasured creations, all expressing themselves in their unique way, exactly according to their design. 

Do not worry if your fellow flowers are growing faster or slower than you.  Merely lift your face to the sun and blossom … exactly as you are supposed to.

When You Feel a Bite

You cannot please everyone at all times.  There are those who will misinterpret your motives and your meaning and your intentions.  Do not fall into the same vibration.  Look for the lesson in this encounter.  See our previous message about seeking perfection.  Where two humans interact, there is likely to be imperfection.  This is the beauty in relationships.  Do you grow defensive when accused, or do you step back and say, “Perhaps I could have done better.  Perhaps I did the best I could have under the circumstances.  Perhaps I will change my way of doing things the next time.  Thank you for the reminder.  May you grow as well from this encounter.”

When something causes you anxiety, angst, anger, or anything less than peace, it is always, always an opportunity for growth.  The other may not see it as such, and that is not your worry.  Grow, grow, grow in peace and love.  Correct your thoughts and actions as necessary, thank your teachers, and send love and compassion to self and others.  A simple recipe for life, taken one bite at a time.

Dusting Off

How often do we ask you to have compassion for others?  But what about yourself?  You are not perfect as you walk about learning, nor are you expected to be.  Perfection—or at least the striving for it—comes at a cost.  The price is disappointment and disillusion.  Have compassion for your self.  Just as you laugh with joy when you see a baby take its first steps and fall, laugh at yourself when you do the same.  Life is all about learning and growing.  Harsh judgment and criticism serve no purpose.  Those are human traits.  See yourself from the heart … at a soul level … and laugh when you fall.  Then pick yourself up, dust off your bottom, and get on with your learning.

Nothing to Fear

You allow yourselves to be frightened by ghosts.  You have heard stories from a young age about hauntings and frightening creatures like your boogey man.  The heart pounds and adrenaline courses.  Some actually enjoy this drama.  What are ghosts, but the very same spirit beings as you, except these no longer have a physical body.  This is quite a natural state.  All is consciousness, therefore, all spirit is quite conscious.  You are aware that you are in a body.  The so-called ghosts, however, are not aware that they have left the body, or they do not wish to face this fact.  They linger in a place for a while, hoping not to have to move on.  They do not like change.  They may bang about a bit if change is put in their way.  Do you like change?  Most likely not.  Can you see how some would balk?  They do not come nor stay to frighten.  They are lost or frightened, or perhaps merely stubborn.  As all is spirit/consciousness, you can communicate with them.  Open your heart and gently tell them they may move on to a new and far greater experience.  Allow them to feel your love, and tell them that far greater love awaits them if they move toward the light.

Does this sound like a silly movie … like your silly Ghost Busters?  This is quite real, but happily, quite rare.  You may pass an entire lifetime in human form and never encounter a lost spirit, but there will be one or two who read our words today and find comfort as well as much-needed guidance.  For the rest of you, know that when you pass from the physical body you need merely follow the tugging in your heart along the path of bright light and it will lead you directly home.

Progress

Despite your fear, you will progress.  “But I am not changing fast enough,” you protest, and we understand your impatience.  Once you have witnessed the Light and felt true Love, you thirst and hunger for more.  More is coming.  Rest assured.  Notice the words we use:  Rest.  Rest, assured that progress is ongoing.  Be not discouraged that the destination seems ever more distant.  See this another way …

As you progress, you allow in more Light, expanding the path.  The destination may now appear farther away, but because life is about eternal growth, and there is, in actuality, no destination, what appears to be farther and farther away is merely a grander and grander reality which you are creating through the very illumination of your consciousness. 

Shine on, and continue broadening the path with your light.

Sound Bites

A sound bite … this is what you call a short burst of information in your news.  It consists of only a few words meant to capture a larger message.  Beware of what was not said.  This you can infer.  You often only hear parts of the story from others.  They give you carefully selected sound bites, either as a protective measure or as a means of manipulation (which is naught but a means of protecting the ego). 

Tune into the energy carried by these sound bites.  Do so with an open heart and full compassion.  What are they really trying to tell you?  What do they truly need?  See beyond the sound bite and feel the need.  Now, how can you fill that need?  Do not let these words bite you.  Send love in abundance until the other is ready to fill in the blanks.

Like the Sunrise

You never know when your greatest lessons will appear.  They may enter softly, and only later will you recognize them for what they were.  They may hit you over the head and knock you to your feet with no subtlety at all.  In all cases, they provide what you would know as an awakening such as you experience each day when the sun rises above the horizon.  With this light comes dawning comprehension … “I had no idea,” you realize, but now that you have awakened, you see the beauty in the lesson and are grateful.  In this way, the lesson, no matter how painful, becomes a precious gift.

Be not bitter as you question the pain you may feel now in this lifetime.  Surrender to that which you do not yet understand and simply await the great awakening which will bring all into the light of consciousness and thus reward you for your suffering. 

Blessings be upon you in this journey you call life.

Out From the Shadows

Hiding in a closet is no way to face your fears.  There you are only surrounded by the very darkness you are running away from.  Step out into the light and allow it to fill your soul.  At first it will blind you and hurt the eyes, but they will quickly adjust.  Now show yourself to the world, warts and all.  Hold your head high as the light shines upon you.  Draw it inside for strength.  It is not so bad now that you can see where you’re going. 

In the darkness, all was fear.  In the light, what is real can now be tackled.  Yes, there may still be challenges, but in the light you are equal to the challenge.  That Light is your very salvation.  That Light is what is inside you … not demons.  Turn up the Light inside and chase the demons away.  They were never really there anyway.

Balance.  Seek this in all things. 

Picture your see-saw with challenges at one end and joys at the other.  Yes, you would like to sit up high at the end with your joys at all times, but that is not how your world operates.  Sooner or later, you would slide down to the other end.  It is the Law of Balance. 

And so, you can slide back and forth from one end to the other, riding up and down, which can be enjoyable for a while, or you can have a seat in the middle at the balance point.  This may seem boring to you, but it is a peaceful place to be.  You can go there any time the ride gets too extreme. 

Balance.  Seek out the middle and you will find it … before you get to the tipping point.

A Little Extra Today: More on the Oversoul

From Suzanne:  I have received some requests for more info on the oversoul (a topic raised in yesterday's message).  There is very little written about this in books, so I went to Sanaya.  To read more, click here.

Transmutation

Karma is not a punishment.  It is a vibration.  All is energy.  All vibrates and tells a story: “This is the experience this being has had to date, and this is the level of evolution they have achieved.”  When a being returns to the state of pure spirit, it is decided how one will continue to grow.  Should one decide to experience the human realm, one begins at the level one has achieved.  It is a state of vibration.  Karma is carrying that vibration in an effort to transmute it even higher.

Not all challenges you now face are brought on in this lifetime, but have been carried with you in the form of vibration to be transmuted—not a punishment at all, but an opportunity for growth.  How do you handle these challenges?  Do you respond with fear or with love?  Love is the great transmuting Force.  Respond to all with naught but love and change your very make-up, for in so doing you raise your vibration to be all the more close to your natural, essential state.

How do you habitually respond to your present challenges?  It if is not with love, then you are merely transporting karma and may likely carry this baggage farther forward.  Change the pattern.  Respond with love, and rather than transporting the energy, transform it once and FOR ALL.

The Oversoul

Note from Suzanne:  I received an email yesterday from a woman asking if I knew if the oversoul is the same as the higher self.  I answered her with what information I currently had.  It appears that Sanaya must have felt my answer was inadequate, because this morning's message addresses the issue in more depth...

The oversoul … yes, you would know it as the higher self, but not the Highest Self.  You are an aspect of the Creator, one facet of a vast, unlimited jewel that sparkles and is recognizable as that facet.  You are also a facet of a smaller jewel than the limitless one just described.  This one we ask you to visualize as grand and multi-faceted.  It consists of all of your personalities-in-form … your so-called “souls” out having their various life experiences all at once in their individual now-moments.  When you pass from this existence, you will rejoin the oversoul in awareness completely, but you have never left it.  You are part of the oversoul now, which is having multiple incarnations at once. 

Do you see why we do not discuss these issues more often?  It is quite difficult for your current lower self to grasp.  So, if you will allow us, we will return on the morrow to the topic that we hope will concern you the most:  the growth of the soul through ever-increasing expressions of love.  Why?  So that when your soul rejoins the oversoul in full consciousness after this human experience, the oversoul is all the greater and can add to the whole of the Creator.

In Waves

The flutter of a bird’s wings … so soft you barely hear it.  The flap of a butterfly’s wings … this sets up a vibration.  You have heard that such a vibration is felt around the world.  In a sense this is true.  All is energy and everything vibrates –even your thoughts and most especially your emotions.  These go out from your mind and body in a wave of energy much like that caused by the wings in motion.

Where does a wave stop?  It goes on and on in the great sea of energy in which you swim.  You are touched by the waves of billions of others.  The mass consciousness does have an effect on each of you, but so do your individual thoughts.  What you send out does come back to you and does touch others. 

You do make a difference.  Flap your wings and soar, sending out wave after wave of love so as to raise the vibrations of those around you.  Be a healer in your own right and help to heal the world.

Rungs

Steps on a ladder … that is where you stand each moment.  All of life is about climbing that ladder ever closer to the highest rung.  Your Source resides upon every rung, but you feel It the most and have the most all-encompassing view from the top.  Meanwhile, as you climb you will leave some at the lower rungs and encounter others on those higher.  One rung is not better or worse than another.  These different levels merely represent greater awakening. 

Have compassion for those whose view is not yet all-encompassing.  They are on the self-same journey.  The climb is not always easy.  Help them along, but aim always for the next run.  Be satisfied, yes.  Know that you may slip back to a lower rung from time to time, but always will there be a loving hand reaching down to help you ascend higher.

A Little "Extra"

Note from Suzanne:  I received an email from one of Sanaya's followers who felt the need to vent.  This person said that they did not know how I felt about the recent elections and knew that it didn't matter.  They wanted help from Sanaya in dealing with their emotions over the results of the election.  I went to my reading room, entered a state of deep meditation, and asked Sanaya what she/they had to say to this person.  I recorded the words that came out, transcribed them, and sent them to this person.  Sanaya's answer helped the person for whom they were intended, so I am sharing them here in hopes that they will help anyone else who may benefit from them.  I have since seen several emails being sent around the internet that reflect incredibly heated emotions that only serve to divide us. When those emails full of anger, fear, and other low vibrations find their way into your inbox, may I remind you of Sanaya's advice to step back and say:  "Isn't that interesting!" 

Wishing you peace in your heart...

Sanaya says:

To the one who is grieving the perceived loss of the country, we wish to ask you, what is a country, but an arbitrary delineation—a grouping of peoples based on geography within your world.  Country borders can change.  The make-up of those individuals living within these borders can change, and HAS changed in that which you call “your country.”  It is not a thing, but in actuality a concept.  And all concepts and all things are constantly in flux, subject to change.

The problems begin when you hold this concept so firmly in your mind that you do not allow for growth and for change.  You see, the Creator has endowed each of you with free will … the ability to choose.  And it is this very free will, and the very choices made by human beings, which bring about change.  When you are stuck in a pattern and that around you changes, you do experience angst.  You make the choice to be at peace with change or to suffer. 

The only thing which never changes is you as spirit.  It is part of the human experience to experience change.  How you react to it determines the level of peace you find.  This change in your so-called government is the result of free choice, of the use of free will given to you by the Creator.  And now it is up to you how you choose to respond.

When there is a death of one who is close to you, yes, you grieve.  If there is a death of one who is not close to you, you pay no attention at all.  The very fact that you are grieving the so-called “loss” of your country is because you held it so near and dear to you.  But nothing stays the same.  It is you who needs to change if you wish to feel peace in your heart.

You make the choice whether to change along with things that are changing, or not change.  And if you choose to remain rigidly stuck in a concept which is merely an illusion, then you will experience continued angst.  Why are some rejoicing whilst others are suffering?  All is perception.  Is one wrong and one right?  Ask one who is rejoicing.  You will experience quite a different opinion.  This is not to say that you need to change your opinion.  The choice, my friend, is how you choose to react.  Can you look upon those who are rejoicing and see that they have made a choice? 

Perhaps your economy will be different than you envisioned.  Perhaps your version of government will be different than you envisioned.  But all of this is a learning experience, and all of it giving you repeated opportunities to look upon the changes for what they are:  opportunities for growth (in learning to respond with peace). 

You are buffeted about by the changes around you, and you allow them to affect your moods.  Rise above all of this.  Rise above the challenges and the changes and simply be that which you are:  the state of love … a state of consciousness that never changes.  Pay attention to your moods and see how you are allowing humanness to affect the spirit, when in fact, life is the other way around.  It is Spirit that is in charge.

There is not right or wrong, merely opinions of what is best.  And it is those opinions which shape your reactions to the world around you.  In reality, what has changed from this time and moment now and one now-moment one week ago in what you would know as time?  It is all perception, and that becomes your reality.  But the only reality is that you are spirit.  That never changes.  Do you wish to continue grieving?  That is your choice.

Peace is a choice.  When you get to the point where you could perceive that all is falling apart around you and still find peace within your heart, for you know that the temporary world is not your true home, then you have arrived.  Until that time, beware of the grief.  It is not necessary.  Rise above it.  Look down upon yourself with compassion.  When you can feel the same compassion for those who make choices apart from those that you would make, then you will truly find peace.

Suffering is not necessary.

Never Alone

How oft you are tormented.  “What should I do?”  You cry these words into the ether—a random question filled with pain.  You feel as if no one hears your cries or cares to answer.  It is this thought alone which keeps you in torment.  Realize, my child, that you are not alone. When you cry out, “What should I do?” direct it to God, your Source, your Highest Self, and know that it is heard. 

If it is not yet cemented in your belief system with utter conviction that it is heard, then pray imagine it so.  This is a start, but in so doing, you have opened up belief and set in motion a current.  Now your cries are answered more clearly, for you have asked directly.  Sit back and listen, or go about your business if you will, but the answers will come, for you are never alone.

Roots

As a tree grows tall and strong, its roots extend even farther into the ground, giving it a strong foundation.  With these roots it can withstand the harshest of storms, and at the same time these roots provide nourishment, soaking up water that is vital to the tree’s existence.  Your roots are not in the physical world, but in your true home:  the realm of spirit.  It is these roots that allow you to remain strong when winds storm about you.  It is these roots which nourish you when the well seems dry.  It is these roots which feed you when you thirst.

Go back to your roots.  Soak up the nutrients that Spirit sends you from within to grow ever stronger in this earthly existence until you return to your true roots.  Rest assured, it is these roots that anchor you.  Know that you are firmly planted in your spirit existence and cannot fall.  With this knowledge, face your trials and stand tall.

Survive and Thrive

When you see with the physical eyes, there is a tendency to pick out the differences.  When you hear words which differ from your own, there is a tendency to compare.  When you pick out differences and compare, there is a tendency to judge.  When you judge, there is a tendency to focus upon separation at the cost of seeing your connection.

You cannot see and sense the spirit within whilst caught up in judgment.  Return first to that place inside which knows you are all one—all connected by the same God Force.  Allow this Force to fill you, flushing out all thoughts of separation, then see with the eyes of spirit, hear and think with the mind of Magnificence, and commune with the other in a state of Love. 

This is how you return to the basics of surviving and thriving in this temporary sojourn in a body.

A Reminder

It is time for another reminder. You hold yourself back with your thoughts and your language.  Ban the word “can’t” from the mind and there is nothing you can’t do.  Yes, we see the humor in these words, and we do recognize how challenging is the task to see yourself as capable of anything, but it must begin with the belief.

If you believe you cannot do something, then that becomes your reality.  You can still the mind.  You do have the discipline to sit in the silence regularly.  You are far more powerful than you think.  Make the effort today, once again, to catch yourself any time your mind holds you back from anything less than your full Magnificence.

Picture your cities as seen from above at night.  You look down upon millions of sparkling lights and proclaim, “Oh, what a beautiful sight!” 

This is how we view your earth when seen from our perspective.  Each of God’s creations is one sparkling light.  Some shine brighter than others, wholly dependent upon the degree of their self-realization as an aspect of Love.

Just as in your actual photos of the planet, there are patches of darkness and areas of intense sparkles.  You are a light … a twinkling star upon the earth.  Your radiation of the light within causes those around you to shine ever brighter. 

Shine on, little star, and light up the grid.

Only This

From Suzanne:  I received the following by email and want to share it with Sanaya's followers.  This beautiful verse was written by Nancy Baker-Shearer, also a follower of Sanaya in Sarasota, FL, who was inspired to write these words after listening to Sanaya's recorded message from November 4th ... Thank you, Nancy!

 ... my choice, my child, my voice, I am

I, am magnificent
I am, magnificent
I am...

great is the blessing I received

speaking through the eyes of Sanaya
each word I heard is
love
pure in form
this I am –

all that is anything but this

is mine to deny
I am love
I am magnificent
blessed with the holiest of light
pure and white
God’s light

is all that I am
magnificent
pure
love
God’s love
only this
I am
in all ways
always –

Red and Blue

Yes, it matters to you now who wins and who loses.  This is because you are a star player in your reality, and you have chosen to remain in a reality where those with free will choose a leader.  Never forget that there is no true leader.  Only Love rules, and it is Love that has given you the choice.

In the grand scheme of things, it matters quite little who wins and who loses, for none of it is lasting.  Yes, we hear you protest, and in the time it took you to protest, even the cells of your own body did change.  This is because you are focused in the physical reality where everything is in constant change.

Be the presence of peace today while your physical world which you call a nation is split in two divisive halves.  Will one half be happy and another sad, angry, and disappointed?  Rise above the division and see it all for what it is … a temporary manifestation of consciousness.  You have free will.  Will you allow the results to take you farther away or closer to Love?

Note from Suzanne

I did a session with Sanaya last night for about 60 people.  The love in the church was palpable.  To hear Sanaya's incredible message of love and healing (listen to the recording) and read the full transcript, visit the attunement page on my website (accessable from the "links" section at the bottom right of the LoveAtTheCenter.com homepage) or click here.  If the message speaks to you, please pass on the link.

Gratitude

Gratitude goes a long way.  It establishes a connection … taking a connection that has already been established in your direction and turning it back to the sender.  Gratitude closes the loop.  This is a circuit of giving and receiving.  What is a circuit, but a never ending loop of gifts.  One gives, one receives, and that one gives gratitude in response, and the other receives.  Thus you have established a permanent connection, for you now are entangled, as your scientists would explain it.

Spirit is most appreciative when you express gratitude for the gifts in your life.  Why?  Because you are acknowledging a Source beyond yourself.  You are allowing that you do not stand alone.  You are completing the circuit, acknowledging your connection—your oneness—in the grand circle of life.

What are you grateful for today?  Close your eyes and light up the circuits.

Symptoms and Signs

Do not become a slave to the physical body.  A symptom is but a sign, not a command.  Do you follow every order of one who is not in charge?  That would be quite senseless.  Acknowledge the signs your body gives you, then give it over to Spirit.  “Is this real?  What is it trying to tell me?”  Once you have heard the answer, take action.  Give the body rest or treatment as guided by Spirit, but give no power to the reality of sickness.  Continue to focus on wellness and harmony, all the while treating the body as necessary. 

Do you see the paradox?  Take care of the illusion of anything less than perfection, but focus only on the perfection.  “I am perfectly balanced.  All is harmonious.”  This is the goal, not its opposite, but oh, how often you feel a symptom and immediately make illusion real. 

No Less Than That

Less than?  That is not you.  Inferior?  That is not you.  Worse than?  That is not you either.  Beware of comparisons.  These exist only in the physical world.  As an aspect of Spirit you are not more or less, better or worse, greater or smaller. 

Spirit IS.  It expresses itself physically in the world of duality, but in your most pure state, you, my friend, are love.  You are beauty.  You are worthy.  You are valuable simply because you ARE—not because you are more or less than. 

You exist, and that is because you are loved.  Anything less than that is illusion.

Above the Pettiness

Rise above the pettiness.  Rise above it all.  Do not allow yourself to be dragged down.  For this you are given free will.  It is your choice.  Do you succumb, and become irritable, and lash out, or do you go within and find peace?

Peace is always waiting.  It is a state of consciousness you know quite well as spirit, but in physical form you oft forget.  Whatever tricks you need to employ to tell the ego to get out of the way, employ them.  Beyond the physical world with its ups and downs and instant changes from good mood to bad lies a state where nothing changes.  It is the state of simply being … the state of pure consciousness which simply IS and simply knows naught but love.  How could such a state have ups and downs?  How could it be anything but peace?

When your state of consciousness rises and falls like a wave, go within to the deepest part of the ocean of which you are a part, and there find peace.

A Chance to Serve

Do you cringe when more work comes your way?  Do you feel overwhelmed?  Do you avert your eyes or wish to run and hide when certain people come into your field of vision?  You have programmed these reactions.  They have become habitual and robotic without you realizing it. 

Everything and everyone that comes to you is a gift—each an opportunity to serve.  In serving you increase the love in your world.  Notice your thoughts and reprogram them.  Why do you feel as you do?  Are you overwhelmed?  Make a change that allows you to see these opportunities as love offerings. 

May “a chance to serve” become your new mantra whene’er the human mind wants to say, “Oh, no.”  Say the new words and feel them in your heart.  Make them real. Not only will your days be easier, but so will the lives of those you help, now that you have changed your tune.
