You Empower Yourself

Your deep sense of who you are has been talking to you.

Are you listening?

Your resources come from within, not from without.

Listen until your ideas are so powerful that they overflow into action.

This is the life you were meant to live.

Your individual ideas, solutions, applications, inspirations are the key to your wealth and authenticity.

They are the key to your power.

You are not a separate entity walking on the surface of the earth begging for shelter and food.

Your ideas, the ones which uplift yourself and others, are the real power on this earth.

Empower yourself and express them.

You ARE Here to Change the World

The old resources are gone and you have brought your new ones with you.

They are within, and you are learning how to listen for them and to use them.

The new resources come from your soul.

You are here to bless and be blessed.

You are here to be useful and perpetuate usefulness.

You are here to be inventive and creative and to develop a new way of life.

There is a way of life which could value everyone.

Some cultures practice it now.

There is a way of life which could take care of everyone.

Some cultures practice it now.

There is a way of life where people can do the things that they love and contribute and uplift society and civilization with their love.

Some individuals practice it now.

You will have to live differently.

You arrived here at the cusp.

Something new is happening.

And you are the ones who are doing it.

The Old Path and the New Way

We are evolving from a consciousness where we need to be taken care of to where we take care of ourselves and others.

The need to be taken care of allowed the evolution of mass processes over long distances regardless of cultures or bioregions.

The awareness of our ability to take care of ourselves is causing different requirements to come to the forefront.

Localizing food, redeveloping local communities, and recognizing cottage industries are bringing us forward into a new appreciation of ways we can take care of all of us.

Because we know about worldwide resources, but we feel so impersonally toward them and vice versa, we are now at a point to appreciate and utilize our local resources in many new ways.

After the shock or transitioning to local resources, I expect a completely different set of relationships to emerge.

Not Your Advertising Budget

My husband has had a dream for over fifty years, since he was about seventeen.

When we began courting, about twenty-eight years ago, he shared his excitement about his dream and we spent hours over all those years detailing every aspect of it.

I have watched him continue to commit time and resources to his dream.

And finally, watched him break the last hold, the last obstacles to accomplishing his dream.

It is not his “advertising budget” or anyone else’s capital investment, or even a bank loan that is bringing it to pass.

It is the overcoming of every tendril of self-doubt built up and perpetuated by life experiences.

Finally, after all these long years, the necessity of choosing between the dream and the self-doubt forced the issue.

I am amazed and privileged to witness this action and I tremendously respect the man behind it.

The World's Path is Not Your Path

The world’s path is breaking down.

But your path is opening up.

Your unlimited spiritual nature is guiding you to do the simple unlimited things first.

As you become unselfish and competent at those things, you will be given more.

the more you increase your service, the more opportunities will continue expanding for you.

You are a precious and valued member of society and civilization.

Your work is to realize this and to see where that reality takes you.

You are here with a purpose and it is not the world’s purpose.

It is the path within you, longing to be expressed.

Until You Find Your Own Path

You work for someone else until you find your own path.

You apply yourself to your job, practicing the principles you want to express along your own best path.

By valuing the way you express your core beliefs, and listening for your unique contribution, you will find your path.

From your deep listening, you will draw all the resources you could ever need, all exactly at the right time.

They appear as you become aware of your need.

The world’s pattern is not your pattern.

Yours comes from deep within and you express it outwardly.

You have all you need, and even more to share as you continue on your listening path.

Lookin' Good

Posing for selfies is a fun way to keep track of what is going on and how good you are looking.

Going “within” is a good way to keep track of who you are and what you are doing from your deep down core.

Creating the match between who you are and your “gifted” work is the best of what can happen in your life.

Look well and deep.

Try out the feeling of being the best that you can be doing the work that enriches your soul, i.e., pleases you, the most.

Try out the feeling of doing something until you can do the work that really pleases you.

The good feeling will take you there faster, much faster.

Getting discouraged and annoyed will also take you there as you desperately work to turn your life in the direction you really wanted to go in the first place.

So, in making a good life for yourself, really consider what you are here on earth to do.

And get to it as soon as possible.
