CHOICES MADE

In your world, it is difficult for you to believe in the choices of your future if you are still buried by the pain of your past. Once you are enlightened, you will believe that if you live your truth, you will have a better life given to you. This is not always true. In fact, you may find it difficult to look at yourself as enlightened if your heart is still broken from the past. If you could only see the path you have created from your past, you would know that you not only left a trail of rose petals, but also a trail of thorns. This makes it even more difficult for you to feel good about the choices you make for your future if your heart is still broken from the patterns of the past.

You have what you need for tomorrow

You are the one who makes the choices today about the carvings that you want in your world tomorrow. The only way you will have those carvings is by being attentive to the design you have already created. You are the one who holds your future for tomorrow in your hand because the choices you make today will mold your future. Therefore, if your thoughts are positive today, you will have what you need tomorrow. If you strive for abundance today, you will create it for tomorrow. If you respect your body today, you will be strong and fit tomorrow. If you stay focused in daily life, you will appreciate the efforts of that tomorrow. However, if you are negative and fearful in your thoughts today, you will create stumbling blocks for yourself tomorrow. If you stand behind someone else today, you will never know which path is yours to walk tomorrow. If you only stand beside others, you will always feel limited in the choices made for tomorrow. This is why it is necessary that you stand first in your life, so that your belief in yourself is enough to give you the wings for the flight of tomorrow.

Life is a fine instrument

As your teachers, we know that in living life you may become overwhelmed by many of the challenges you face. Even though you may live life with an open heart and believe that you have tested all aspects of your being, the only thing you will take with you is the memory of the light in your heart. That, my dear ones, is what life is all about - growing and becoming whole emotionally.

However, life is like a fine instrument. It can play many cords, but you choose which sound to create. More importantly, it is your responsibility to make the music that is best for you. You have only one responsibility to your inner God, which is to stand tall in the tower of what you are. If you lose sight of this, you will become weak. You will never find the strength to make the choices for your tomorrow or feel secure in your world. You will always stumble in your steps and be alone when you fall. Above all else, work to see yourself as wise, for this is the part of you that you know best. If you leave this earth and know that you have conquered this truth, the joys of your journey have indeed begun.

Use this exercise to open the album of your life

Use this exercise to help you better understand the choices of your past. In your mind, imagine that you are holding a notebook. As you open the notebook, you see a picture of your face, either current or past. Turn to the next page of the notebook and there you see the picture of a celebrated event in your life, past or present. Again, turn to the next page of the notebook. On this page, there is a number representing a certain age. Turn the page again, seeing the face of someone you either know currently or someone in your past.

This exercise is important because as you open the notebook, you are opening to a photo album of your life. These pictures which will help you connect to a deeper level of who you are today. The picture of your face is a picture of your true self, regardless of the age shown. The celebration on the next page represents a turning point in your life. On the following page, the number shown was the age at a time of inner healing. And, on the last page you are shown one of your greatest teachers thus far in your life. This individual has helped you become the person you are today. Good day!
