Take some time for yourself when you are going through the process of making significant changes. Learn why you have changed over the years. Realize and remember the impacts that have brought you to some of ways that describe you – be objective and honest with yourself, don’t bring colourful or exaggerated adjectives while looking back at your changes. See how you have grown and developed in mind, body, heart and spirit. Are you handling yourself better now? And if you are, what are the factors that have brought you into a deeper understanding of what it is you need for a richer and more fulfilling life that demonstrates balance and happiness?

Thank you Melchizedek and Julie!

Always be True to Yourself
Melchizedek’s Weekly Message ~ August 25 – September 01, 2013
 
Achieving whole balance and personal happiness in all areas of your life is not necessarily dependant on your ability to earn more money. We are positive that you realize there are much greater things that can impact your whole life and well-being that have nothing to do with material gains. 
 
There is so much that makes up who you are, from your upbringing, experiences, natural-born personality, etc., all give effect to what it means for you to be truly happy and live a whole and balanced life. Because of your experiences and never-ending learning, you are forever changing and adapting to newer ways of being and living – change is a constant part of your existence. There are many areas which over time many of you may have chosen to ignore or to give your attention and those areas, situations that are large and cumbersome eventually come back, sometimes seemingly bigger reminding you, you have work to do, some sorting out that is essential to your progression forward. 
 
We understand how hard it can be to manage every situation that crosses your path plus all the challenges in and around your personal life. You try very hard to sort out what is considered to be worthy of your pursuit to what can be done later. Balancing life is a constant challenge that never goes away no matter how hard many wish it would. We often see many dear souls watching what others are doing, not just out of curiosity but out of envy and they are taking mental notes on how to be like them because these other people have developed a way to be successful at something. Dear ones, you must choose what is right for you; learn what it is that will help bring balance and happiness into your life. Copying what another is doing for their life, will not make you happy because it’s someone else’s way not yours. Definitely another person’s way of life can motivate and inspire you to do better, but you must find your niche, what makes you feel good by listening to your heart and trusting yourself to make better choices that bring happiness and balance into all areas of your life. 
 
It is important dear ones to listen to the reminders that prompt you that there are issues still required for you to look after. You know very well some issues and situations cannot be left ignored for long. They have a way of creeping back into your present creating imbalance and unhappiness. When an unpleasant situation presents itself, deal with it right away, don’t sweep it under the rug and wish it away. Work through the difficult situation and learn from it, be grateful for the lesson it brings and then move on with a clear conscience that will help you feel more in control of yourself and promote an increased flow of happiness and the calm feeling of being balanced. 
 
There are many naysayers among you that find it incredible difficult if not impossible to attain a happy and balanced life, but truly dear ones such a life is attainable. To attain a balanced life that is rich with happiness it is essential for its development that you know your authentic self and all the causes of your well-being. Achieving balance dear ones does require planning, action steps that are truthfully designed to assist in the process of increasing your level of happiness and to maintain balance even while making changes and dealing with challenges. 
 
When it comes to creating the action steps for you to achieve whole balance and happiness, remember and understand achieving balance will be different from person-to-person. What is good for you may not be the same for another. Focus on what is good for you, what it is that makes your heart the happiest and work with that. Achieving balance can be a complex process or it can be simple and it all depends on your situation and where you are in life. 
 
There are many dear souls that focus primarily on creating a work-life balance where harmony is present in both places working together yet separately. Yet there are many others that are aiming to reach personal and emotional fulfillment, or reaching inner calm and contentment. There are many choices where balance can bring improvement to your life and you are the one who determines which areas require your focus, what needs balance the most, how much energy are you willing to apply, is it overall balance or just certain areas…choices dear ones never leave, they are a part of you even while choosing how to balance and bring more happiness into your life requires you to choose and this choosing requires you to be conscious and aware of what it is you truly wish to gain. 
 
Think about it dear ones, what is it that is in your life now that makes you feel balanced and happy? Your answers are clues that will help you understand what true happiness really means to you and what makes you happy is where you will also find the focus to bring balance into the rest of your life. 
 
As we talked about earlier, what makes a person happy and balanced will differ from one person to the next. And as you grow and mature your ideas of what happiness is and what it means to live a balanced life also changes. Sometimes because of busy lifestyles and work demands some areas become neglected and the areas that were pushed back eventually rise up when you least expect them. But by working through each situation, even the ones that you have forgotten will help bring new changes into your life and you create ways on how to bring balance from the new changes you have just made. Sometimes dear ones you have to let go of certain ideas that appealed to you when you were in your youth but, as a mature adult you discover and find different methods and ways of living is much more appealing. There is no right or wrong way, just a better way that fits you because you are the one making the choices that will bring balance and happiness into your whole life because you can’t truly focus on one area and not expect your new achieved balance and happiness to not bring affect into other areas. No matter how many different things or parts create who you are, all is connected to the other and when you bring balance into one place, it is felt in another and if balance is not felt in one place you become encouraged and empowered to bring more balance to the places that are feeling out-of-place and because you like the feeling of being wholly balanced, it brings about a steady flow of peace and overall happiness and it does feel good. 
 
Take some time for yourself when you are going through the process of making significant changes. Learn why you have changed over the years. Realize and remember the impacts that have brought you to some of ways that describe you – be objective and honest with yourself, don’t bring colourful or exaggerated adjectives while looking back at your changes. See how you have grown and developed in mind, body, heart and spirit. Are you handling yourself better now? And if you are, what are the factors that have brought you into a deeper understanding of what it is you need for a richer and more fulfilling life that demonstrates balance and happiness? 
 
Many times, dear souls suppress their natural-born preferences and personality because of social pressure and society. They end up doing work they dislike and give up their dreams that also hold their potential to demonstrate their true talents and strengths. Some dear souls remain in this tight grip of a lifestyle their entire life, yet there are others that find a way to break away from what is hindering their spirit and true self and they begin to live without falsifying their life any longer. No matter when the need to change hits you, it will have an impact on your whole life because you are upsetting what you have learned, what you have done up to that moment and stopped. You then come in with fresh new changes that turn what you have done upside down or at least a completely different direction. Many dear souls have met opposition but continued to persevere forward following their heart and soul to what happiness and balance is truly for them and they meet and bring into actual reality. 
 
It is essential and vital that you are always true to yourself. Only you know you best. Don’t deny yourself the peaceful life you are meant to have. Be honest with yourself, learn who you are and ask others that are non-biased for occasional feedback, learn from what they see and try learning from your mirror. What you see from your mirror beyond the nicely groomed hair or make-up is your true self. Get to know this person. Become aware of your whole self and discover what it is you need to let go and what you can do to improve or correct factors that will enhance your overall balance with life and produce a happier and more peaceful you. Strive for what makes you happy; believe that you reach the goals that your actions steps are helping you to reach. Follow your own path, not the path of another dear soul, what is meant for you is yours, not theirs. 
 
Never forget dear ones achieving balance and happiness that will affect your life and touch other dear souls that are close to you is personal and individual. This is your journey, do what is right for you. Allow your life to influence you to make different choices that are positive, strong and uplifting. We know you have the ability to bring balance and happiness into your life, and we want you to not only know this but to believe in this fact as well.

Mistakes Provide us With Unlimited Learning Potential  Melchizedek’s Weekly Message ~ August 18 – 25, 2013  Mistakes happen and there is no one that likes to make them. Without mistakes, the learning you accomplished afterwards would not have occurred. When you allow the mistakes to guide you correctly, you will progress forward along your current journey with confidence and you will achieve. Any mistake made gives you another chance to try again by making different choices in order to produce a better outcome. Opportunities of growth are exponential after a mistake is realized as you become conscious of the possibility of improving more of your Self, by learning what went wrong and discovering new ways to bring what it is you are trying to achieve into actual success. Don’t allow the mistake to overwhelm you with guilt, allow the mistake to become part of your steps toward success.  Dear ones, it is understood mistakes don’t happen just by your actions, they are also done through words you have expressed. If you have made mistakes and hurt others through your words or actions it is vitally important not just to the dear souls that received your thoughtless actions or words to apologize. When you apologize you are also releasing any lingering guilt, you accept the responsibility of the harm you may have caused and when you apologize sincerely and with dignity it will help to restore trust and goodwill. We know how difficult it can be to apologize to the dear soul you may have hurt; it can be embarrassing and make you feel uncomfortable. Being able to apologize allows the other person to forgive you and forgiveness in itself provides healing for the one who was hurt and for the one who caused the hurt. Owning up to mistakes requires great inner strength and bravery, but it also provides great growth in your own development and deeper self-knowledge and awareness.  So many dear souls are afraid to make mistakes, they move throughout their daily life trying to be perfect in every way. There is no growth potential within this kind of living. There is no stepping beyond comfort zones into the unknown, there is not exceptional learning, there are no mistakes to be used as stepping stones and there is a lack of responsibility. Comprehend dear ones; making the occasional mistake is an important part to your movement forward on your wonderful journey. Every time you add on more responsibilities you also increase the likelihood of making mistakes. Avoiding making mistakes can easily become a barrier because you become afraid to take risks, even risks that are important. Don’t allow the fear of making a mistake make you hard and unmovable.  So many dear souls find it necessary to justify their actions in everything even when it’s owning up to a mistake they made. Even though inside they know it’s wrong, they may pass the blame to someone else, as this is a first reaction when many step forward to reveal their mistake. If you are required to explain yourself to your manager or supervisor, most likely this person does not want to hear excuses, blaming or any kind of justifications, they really want you to step up and take responsibility for the mistake you made. So many times dear ones, what we witness is many dear souls try to justify their actions for the sake of their precious egos. Don’t protect your ego dear ones, allow your true Self that shines with the light of God to step through with dignity and sincerity when it’s time admit you were wrong.  When you know full well you have made a mistake, take the necessary actions and steps to learn what went wrong and these steps will help you learn to avoid making the same mistakes again. It is very important to understand the fundamental reason for the mistake before you can begin anew. If you have spoken out-of-turn and said words that caused harm, learn what it was that caused you to feel frustrated or angry. Were you tired then, maybe you were grieving a loss of some kind; become your own detective and learn what was happening before the outburst occurred and you spoke inappropriately possibly using words that were sharp and damaging. The more you learn of the reason behind your outburst, the better the other person who received your verbal assault will understand; they will accept your apology and forgive you. It is important dear ones to discover ways to detach from the stress your day may incur, find ways to relax and it is okay to let someone know ahead of time before you begin any conversation that you are feeling tired and the stress of the day is still working its way out.  Don’t become guilty when you make a mistake, and don’t go through your journey avoiding the possibility of making a mistake. What is needed dear ones is your perseverance to learn from them. If mistakes are repeated, this demonstrates that you have not learned and your progress suffers until the essential learning has happened and the repeated cycle of making the same mistakes comes to an end.  Many times, the mistakes that occur are created by conditioned habits. In order to break the cycle of making the same mistakes, you need to break those habits. A great deal of reflection is needed, as you must first accept this needs to be done and make a working plan that will bring the changes needed that will sustain a newer and more effective way of thinking, living and being. When you change your habits dear ones; you alter the course of repeating the same mistakes – the sooner you can let go of limiting habits the better it is for you and for those closest to you.  Look at making a mistake as providing you an opportunity to learn and to become more aware of yourself and your global environment. When you are able to learn from your mistakes, you grow in wisdom and you actually accelerate your growth and development in all facets of your life. Mistakes that are made have a relationship with risk and they are vitally important to success. Every time you step forward into an unknown direction or you move past your comfort zone, you are taking a risk and through your steps you are gaining valuable information that will provide you unlimited knowledge because as you step forward into new concepts, mistakes are bound to happen and they are useful and very much part of your growth. When you are able to see mistakes as being positive and useful stepping stones, you will create a newer and fresher perspective outlook on life.  Mistakes are going to come dear ones; there is no running away from them or hiding. Accept them for the learning they hold because without them, you would not have come to where you are now. Thanks to the mistakes you have made so far, you have gained so much knowledge and wisdom that could not ever be found through any book because you lived through these experiences, they are yours and they have helped you to become the divine and lovely person you are now.  Each of you have within you the source; the inner power to bring all the necessary changes into your life that will bring about changes to the direction of your journey that is positive, uplifting and successful. Be brave, reach down for that extra bit of courage and step forward knowing God is also with you and embrace life fully with your love and compassion being enthusiastic when you face something you don’t know. Life is a journey dear ones, a beautiful journey of endless possibilities, embrace all that life has given you so far and embrace what is yet to come as you are not yet done becoming all you can be, as that dear ones ...IS UNLIMITED.  I AM Melchizedek through Julie Miller

See all challenges as tests that are presented to you to experience for the purpose of achieving a higher level of understanding that will motivate and inspire you to focus more and apply more effort. Instead of thinking negative regarding the current situation, see it is a chance to bring positive change to not only your mind but to your whole beautiful being. Ground yourself and continue to move forward one-step-at-a-time. When hurtful words and actions are being done to you, this kind of experience doesn’t require you to respond the same way. Even during such situations you have the choice to not be drawn in to another person’s negative banter and actions. We know taking the higher road is not always easy when someone is in front of you or through written comments being judgmental and criticizing you. But by displaying love and compassion and turning away from being negative in return alleviates the harshness of the situation and allows the healing rays of God’s unwavering Light to filter in and Love you. When people do things that are considered wrong, see this also as a learning opportunity. Thank them for the experience because through their ill-choice words or actions you truly can see the goodness in yourself. You are able to see clearly who you are not and forgive them for their ways knowing they too are on a journey and the interaction provides growth and development to both of you.

Thank you Melchizedek and Julie!
*** WE ARE ALL ONE

Mistakes and Failures are Miracle Stepping Stones to Success Melchizedek’s Weekly Message ~ July 14 – 21, 2013   Sometimes dear ones, certain factors get in your way that creates heavy challenges that are really inevitable. It could be as easy as your normal daily routine becomes a disorganized or you forget to follow the diet your doctor has instructed for you, or someone has said or done something mean to you. You might have moments where you feel like quitting whatever it is you are doing or to scream or cry. Negative energy finds its way from the simplest of ways, and most time unknowingly. Life as you know dear ones can have some pretty unexpected turns that create discouragement, frustration, anger, powerlessness, and so forth. What normally happens when a dear soul enters this negative mind set, a mood settles over them where they really feel they do not care anymore and they find themselves in a mental and emotional slump.    There are easy ways to improve your thinking and increase the level of happiness in all facets of your life. Remember dear ones, negative thinking is in your head and you can change those negative thoughts. Your mind creates all sorts of images that increase the idea of failure when in fact you haven’t failed at all. In all corners of your current life stream you have infinite opportunities to learn and grow, when the feeling of failure enters your thoughts, look at this dear ones as an opportunity to try again instead of quitting. Make failure not an option.    If you take the time to think back on the many difficult challenges you had to face and remove the emotional and mental aspect that often creates negative feelings and pressure you will find what was so difficult was simply an opportunity to grow and develop your character even more. Once you realize the simplicity of all difficult situations that have crossed your path, you find yourself feeling liberated and very powerful and the power comes from your ability to change all circumstances. You can remain feeling trapped in the pain that the situation brought or you can choose to let go of the heavy emotions and feelings and free yourself.    We do understand dear ones that changing your thinking patterns is a difficult journey, but anything you ever really wanted all came from you applying full effort of your heart and soul. When you take conscious steps to change your mind you are also making steps to change your whole life and this great change will affect those closest to you and all people on a global scale through the new uplifting energy you will be emitting. We remind you that the energy you emit regardless if it is jealous energy, loving energy, frustrated energy, etc., is all felt by others that are not necessarily next to you. You are responsible for the energy you emit. And even though we stated changing your mind is a difficult process, it is not impossible to achieve as long as you are willing to follow through with your intentions and both your heart and mind are open.    There are many struggles that you face daily. Some of these struggles could be in meditation, diet, exercise, quitting a habit like smoking, etc. There are days when you do better than others, on days that you don’t feel like following a specific routine can create a stretch in inactivity and this kind of feeling can last longer than a day or two and before you know it you are off the path that was helping you to improve yourself. We see this occur often and what can settle is in is discouragement to get back on that path that was beneficial to your overall health. You can counter this change in your thought patterns to thinking more positively. Look at the time you had away from the path of self-improvement as stepping stones to your success. Each time you come across a day when you just don’t feel like following through, remind yourself each day you put forth your energy and you persevere you are bringing yourself one step closer to success instead of further behind. You always had the power to make choices to bring positive results into your life that will increase your happiness; there is never a wrong time to reassert that power for the betterment of your health that will increase a positive love-filled energy flow.    What we observe is so many dear souls are aiming at perfection instead of trying to bring better into their lives. The aim for perfection is singular and is filled with stress and pressure. It is important to accept the fact that you are already perfect as you are and accept any flaws as your opportunity to improve yourself. Patience and tolerance will always be required during any process that brings in improvement of Self. We know you will continue to grow and develop and you will in your own time. Congratulate yourself for what you have achieved so far. You have come a long way and you know there is more for you to see and learn. Embrace the unknown dear ones with gratitude and with love and when those difficult challenges come give thanks for them knowing in your heart you will learn valuable information that will increase knowledge that will lead to greater wisdom. Look forward to learning instead of seeing each new challenge as something dreadful and disheartening. By changing your thought patterns, you change the outcome and the effects of the challenge are less felt by your whole body. It is understood that worry often enters one’s mind during hard trials, but worry also creates deeper shadows to the situation that is before you. Worry can create large looming shadows over a problem that is really quite small. Rid yourself of unnecessary worry and see the situation for what it is, not what it isn’t.    When things don’t go your way and life feels heavy and discouraging remember these thoughts are formed in your mind. All negative thoughts can be countered by loving, positive thoughts. The power of positive thinking has been used to bring success into many difficult challenges. When you feel you wish to give up a specific task realize this is negative thinking and you can dissolve this quite easily. Replace all negative thoughts with positive ones. Remind yourself you can complete the task that is in front of you and that you can and will succeed. Allow Hope to be part of the process that will lead you to your eventual success and achievement.    See any concept of failing as opportunities for success. When something didn’t go as planned, look honestly and truthfully at the steps that were taken. Many times what is discovered is a deviation even slightly that took you off the path that would have brought success. It is there that you also discover what you need to apply to bring your efforts into success bringing fulfillment and happiness into the conclusion. Nothing is ever impossible when you apply all your heart and soul into every step.    Patience is one of the hardest attributes to master but it is one that is worthy to practice. It is too easy to allow yourself to freely express frustration and anger when difficulties arise. Find a way to vent that is not harmful to another person that will eventually bring clarity requires more concentrated effort. Then tackle the difficulty consciously practicing patience. Every difficult situation you are faced is your opportunity to practice patience and to improve this necessary attribute.    Within all situations, the good and the bad are incredible learning experiences providing you with the opportunity to become more ONE with your true self. You are able to see the impact you make upon others when you choose to express yourself with either negative or positive words or actions. You also are given the opportunity to learn why or how a difficult situation was created and what you can do to make it better. Learning is wonderful. Learn to see all mistakes as blessings that bring you to knowing more of your Self on a personal basis.    Overcoming difficult challenges that have brought in negative energy will make your overall character stronger and more resilient. Some challenges you face will be felt more exhausting than others. Give yourself healing time and practice self-love and compassion. Going through any problem doesn’t have to be feared or dreaded when you allow yourself to see the potential of your becoming when all is over. Embrace the situation for what it is, know in your heart you will be growing stronger and wiser. The knowledge gained will help you work through future problems more effectively and efficiently. The power of positive thinking in all situations is your key to a successful outcome.    See all challenges as tests that are presented to you to experience for the purpose of achieving a higher level of understanding that will motivate and inspire you to focus more and apply more effort. Instead of thinking negative regarding the current situation, see it is a chance to bring positive change to not only your mind but to your whole beautiful being. Ground yourself and continue to move forward one-step-at-a-time.    When hurtful words and actions are being done to you, this kind of experience doesn’t require you to respond the same way. Even during such situations you have the choice to not be drawn in to another person’s negative banter and actions. We know taking the higher road is not always easy when someone is in front of you or through written comments being judgmental and criticizing you. But by displaying love and compassion and turning away from being negative in return alleviates the harshness of the situation and allows the healing rays of God’s unwavering Light to filter in and Love you. When people do things that are considered wrong, see this also as a learning opportunity. Thank them for the experience because through their ill-choice words or actions you truly can see the goodness in yourself. You are able to see clearly who you are not and forgive them for their ways knowing they too are on a journey and the interaction provides growth and development to both of you.    To all the people that have done you wrong, find a place in your heart where you can love them. Forgiveness will bring you to this place and when you are able to love the people that have brought you hardship you relieve yourself from any lingering doubt, guilt or any other negative feeling and emotion that is created through difficult situations and interactions. Learn to drop your animosity and come from the loving place in your heart. Rejoice in the liberation you are giving to your whole self. Don’t look for new ways to bring in more negative thinking, look instead for new ways to bring in more positive thinking even during the most trying of situations.  Become the optimist instead of the pessimist.    And so it is…    I AM Melchizedek  through Julie Miller  http://lightworkers.org/channeling/185240/mistakes-and-failures-are-miracle-stepping-stones-success

In the Arms of Faith and Trust ALL is Possible Melchizedek’s Weekly Message ~ June 23 – 30, 2013   We understand through our observance that there are many dear souls that contemplate how God truly feels about them. This is an important and crucial step along your journey dear ones. It is through such a brave and courageous step that brings you into total awareness of any areas that are dark and unexplored within your own life. Being on the Quest of the Truth of God’s Love and how He feels also requires you be anchored in the present and Trust with the purest of Faith that He does love and He loves each and every dear soul that shares your global community – and this love He has for each dear child, your brother and sister is separate from any action you may have done. His Word is always LOVE dear ones and through this empowering Word of God you are equipped with the Inner Power to turn any weakness into a strength.    Unfortunately dear ones, you may stumble across other dear souls who may not wish for you to have this trust and faith in God and to strengthen this sacred relationship. There are those out there that are there to test your faith, to test your trust. Even though they appear to be the “bad guy” or some may describe this as being picked on. By looking at any confrontation of opposites truthfully and honestly, what you are developing dear ones is the strengthening of your confidence in God and in His love especially when you are not able to be derailed from any attempt of another. Every interaction, even the ones that house conflict have something to teach and through the lesson is an abundance of essential knowledge that will create deeper trust and faith – faith and trust not only in God but in your Self. Of course God wishes for His children to turn to Him in times of happiness and times of strife, but He also wishes you to have the confidence to turn to your Self. Many people can offer you advise, guidance and support, but remember dear ones, no matter how wise and caring their words are, it is not them that must make the decisions. It is you. When you decide something, it’s not because of what someone told you to do, it’s because of what your heart and soul has whispered to you – what is best for you and all that may be affected by your decision.    Understand dear ones if at any time you may have acted inappropriately, even unknowingly towards another dear soul, it is crucial to seek forgiveness from God; to repent what you know was wrong. Clearing your wrong with God should never be a struggle; it is a humbling and cleansing experience that is encouraged for each of you to practice.    When you are ready to confess to God through your own acceptance that you KNOW you acting inappropriately it’s important to speak to God with confidence with your Self, with respect and love. It is essential dear ones to have strong confidence in God’s love being equal to all people and through His love he will help direct your journey. Your journey will always have challenges and through each challenge your confidence will act as if it’s on a crazy roller-coaster ride – it will have ups and downs. The more you are confident in God’s love and in your loving efforts that are pure of actions of God working through you the more mature you become of spirit, heart, mind and body. Even when the struggles appear to never end, never cease your trust and faith in His love. Focus on His love for you and know deep within the warm recesses of your heart, His flame is alive and well.    A love that is felt as fragile is never thought as a weak or false. All love that is derived from the heart and of the soul is sincere love that helps you see with clarity where your journey is taking you. Your feelings and emotions often encourage and distract you from listening to your heart and soul. You must always maintain control of your mental and emotional faculties and through your efforts you will see first-hand why the necessity for being confident in God’s Love. The more faith and trust you have in God, the more faith and trust you have with your Self.    Many times you are visited by guilty feelings shortly after you know you have acting inappropriately. This is your actual signal to your Self that YES you have done something that requires forgiveness. Guilt is a heavy emotion and it is also a gift from God. Without the feeling of guilt, you would never be able to reach any realization of any wrong and there would be no forgiveness. These are lessons provided by God to encourage each of you the importance of admitting the actions you are responsible for and through them you are offered opportunities to remove that guilt through the positive action of forgiveness.   Reflect on your life up to now and through this quiet moment, truthfully and honestly acknowledge to yourself who you have possibly caused harm or hurt as well as where the path of your life took a wrong turn that strayed you from your own mission. Admit with spoken word that you are aware of the negative actions you have done towards another, and how this negative action has also hurt you and ask for forgiveness. You require no explanation, just the verbal and mindful acknowledgement of what was done and seek forgiveness. You must also forgive yourself as well dear ones. Even if you are the perpetrator, the act of forgiveness must also be applied to your Self in order for you to heal the guilt out of your heart.    There is not one person born evil. Each of you were born pure and with the best of intentions of the highest possibilities for the grand life before you. It is over time, through many challenges, distractions that derail your pureness and away from the empowering quality of God’s Light and Love. When you are able to repent your wrongs, you are aligning yourself back on the track of being pure of heart…it takes one positive, loving step at a time.    Through either your morning or night prayers or meditation use this quiet time to exercise forgiveness – take this time to focus on your feelings in order to clearly see where any lingering hurt may have stemmed from and recall this memory for the sole purpose to let it go through the Power of Forgiveness. During your prayer, also pray for direction from God and healing to your Self and to the other dear soul that may have been the brunt of your inappropriate behaviour. Ask God to direct you both back on the track from being lost to being found through His love and devotion to you both. Recognize and accept all your wrongs; don’t be offended by them, learn through them and become stronger from the inside out. The lessons that surround you each day, come from the moments you behaved inappropriately, choices made by you, your actions, even other people’s actions as well as the from the times you acted in good faith, love and compassion towards others, where joy was an outcome. Lessons are always with you, the question that can only be answered by each individual person, is: How aware are you of the lessons?   Every time you utter a confession either to your Self or purposely to God you are being responsible for your negative thoughts and emotions through verbal acknowledgment even if you are unaware of any harm you may have caused. When you allow yourself to repent, you are redirecting your Self to turn away from those negative thoughts and emotions and accept the direction God has before you. Through the action of repentance you bring yourself to end looking and pointing negatively towards the other person and begin looking within your Self.    We know and understand how busy your day can be and through the busyness of your day, you may forget the importance of admitting you owe any part to any problem. Every issue, and situation has sides and it’s important to not only understand this but to realize where your responsibility rests.    When you face certain challenges, remember God is with you shining His endless Light and infinite Love all around you. He is reminding you each challenging step is another step building a stronger and more confident You. At any time dear ones, you feel you are being challenged, ask God what is it He is trying to teach you to become stronger in. Is the current challenge teaching you to be more patient, resilient; is the current challenge teaching you to become more aware of your whole self. The more you consciously think about what it is you are to learn, you are actually beginning to learn and develop each characteristic.    Forgiveness is a divine and sacred tool during the bumpiness of your journey. Learning how to forgive and forgive with grace and confidence requires recognition and acceptance of the feelings of others as being important. Forgiveness allows you to rise to a deeper level within your spirituality and directs you to newer ways on how to live a more fulfilling life, a kind of life that encourages you to always live at your best potential and ability. Through the Power of Forgiveness you understand what it really means to love unconditionally.    We encourage you dear ones to cease seeking external sources in order to reach happiness. Focus from within on how to more thankful of what you already have and through your conscious acts of gratitude you will find your Self in the lap of happiness that will shine from the inside out. Liberate yourself through giving your Self-Image to the mercy of unknown and unpredictable events and situations in trust and faith in God’s unwavering direction. Trust each step you take and when the situation has reached its end you will understand what it means to appreciate and discover the happiness inside your own joy.    We know it can be difficult to remain positive when going through a difficult situation. We remind you that each situation that greets you is there to teach you more of your Self and where your journey is taking you. The event does not ever describe your entire life, only provides lessons for where you are right now, not where you were yesterday or what will become of you tomorrow. Focus on the NOW of the lesson without allowing the situation to overwhelm you. God already knows you can overcome any situation, you have already proved this fact repeatedly – now it’s time for you to believe in your power and ability.    Learn to take on the mentality that you are a student on the journey of your life and soul mission. No matter what you have read and learned through the many books your eyes pour over, the more you realize how much you have not learned. We commend you for learning what other people are speaking of; at the same time we encourage you to seek your wisdom by going within. Your experiences and your journey are not meant to be exactly the same as the next person’s and they are not.    It can difficult to control your biting tongue and more difficult to not reciprocate with another with your own hateful and negative responses but nothing is ever impossible. The more you become part of the problem through the negative actions the problem stimulates the longer the problem remains, creating an unloving and uncompassionate person. Resist the urge to reply to someone who has chosen to act unkindly to you with the same unkind remarks and inappropriate behaviour. You always have the power to choose. You can choose to NOT become angry and counter the challenge with Unconditional Love and compassion that will help maintain the happy and soulful person you are.    By training your Self and your busy mind to be more consistently filled with happy and positive thoughts, the more positive energy you will attract, including positive and happy people. No problem is ever solved dear ones when you remain at the same energy level which the problem was initially created. In order for you to remain in a positive mind-set we encourage you to remember the positive-ness of the Power of Forgiveness, letting go, the calming attributes of peace and the healing quality of love.   We do realize the challenge many dear souls already have with controlling their mental and emotional faculties. All is possible dear ones, when you have faith and trust in your Self, in God’s Love and in the fact that you will succeed because you are not meant to fail. Sometimes success takes a while to bring into fruition, but with your constant focus and love applied effort everything you do has a more than possible outcome. Learn to believe in your Self as we believe in You.    And so it is....    I AM Melchizedek  through Julie Miller  http://lightworkers.org/channeling/184190/arms-faith-and-trust-all-possible

End the self-judgments and criticizing of others. This kind of negative action does not propel you positively along your journey because these actions hold heavy negative emotions and are harmful to your Inner and Outer Self. Emotional residue from past experiences must be learned to let go. Don’t carry the past with you. Learn from the past, but let it go. You are here in the now, the present and this is where you create the choices that will bring in your tomorrow. Don’t allow the past to create an unnecessary handicap, dear ones. Remember you are a mirror image of God, God is infinite, this means you are as well. Realize dear ones you are productive, infinite and whole. Taking the necessary steps to change your ways, your thoughts and feelings cannot ever be rushed. Take the time to nourish each change, letting go of any residual emotional and mental effects and allow yourself to embrace the new and uplifting energy you will begin to receive from God. Re-balancing and re-creating yourself is a process of self-love and self-care. Honour yourself through the gentle nature of your own purification that will bring you out of your old limiting perception of your Self. Through your own self-care and self-love you will heal past emotional wounds and eradicate destructive patterns by creating new ways to overcome difficult situations that are effective, efficient and Light bringing.

Thank Melchizedek and Julie!

If God is Described as being Infinite… Then so are You  Melchizedek’s Weekly Message ~ June 09 – 16, 2013 Your journey of life surrounds experiences of joy and difficulties. What you are able to gain from all your experiences helps to develop and create the person you are now. The choices you have made that helped to bring certain experiences into actuality came to you as goals to achieve and to overcome previous ideas of limitations of yourself. Learning to face your limitations can feel like a daunting task but it is through each obstacle that you discover your Inner Courage, break hindering cycles and become more unlimited which is your true nature.  As you progress forward, moving yourself away from previously perceived limitations you understand the need to break certain cycles and overcome the negative workings of the busy mind. When you learn to change your thoughts, your perception also changes dear ones. Controlling your feelings and emotions is crucial to your success in all things you are part of.  Understand what limitation means for you. To be limited is not being able to complete or do something fully in basic and simple terms. When facing certain stormy situations many dear souls that consider themselves limited also have barriers set in place which can often increase the level of difficulty in any difficult situation. The journey of life dear ones is full of pleasantries and un-pleasantries. You cannot have one without the other, but neither means you are limited to succeed when you are actually unlimited. Remember dear ones you are created in God’s image and if God is infinite and unlimited, so then are you. The difference is dear ones, is you need to learn to re-teach yourself to believe this as part of your Truth.  Throughout your journey dear ones you will face certain difficulties. And many of them are there to test your resiliency, faith and Inner Strength. Depending on how you set your mind, will determine the outcome of your whole being when the challenge is over. Each challenge you face provides with what the outcome will be when all is done. They have the ability to discourage you and to take you off your focus of the expected outcome. It is up to you dear ones to allow the challenge to control you and undermine you or you can take a stand in your journey, become progressive and move forward in control because you do have absolute faith in yourself and you know in your heart and soul that you truly are an infinite being, a child of God.  Understand dear ones as you enter any challenge or life difficulty, they are not meant to be there for the rest of your current life – they are temporary. They come bearing many messages and sometimes more than one lesson. Through each challenge you move through you gain valuable experience and through your experiences you gain incredible knowledge that pertains to you and your development and a deeper understanding of those around you and who are also part of your global backyard. The knowledge you gain, in time becomes wisdom which prepares you for future difficulties. No difficulty that you have faced has been a waste of time. There are some dear souls that feel this way, but in truth nothing is a waste of time. Everything happens for a reason and a purpose.  If you allow your challenges to control you, you will remain being limited and unable to complete the current stage in of your journey and move on to what is waiting for you. You cannot move forward if you have uncompleted items left to be fulfilled dear ones. Appreciate the challenges that you face with thankfulness and with love knowing you will rise above them stronger than before you began. When you greet your challenges with appreciation and gratitude you are removing the fear they often bring. When you move away from fear of the challenge you have already liberated yourself and created ease into the challenge. You have connected to your unlimited knowing of your own strength and courage and this dear ones will nourish your faith and trust in yourself that you will progress and succeed each and every challenge that crosses your path.  What can cause you to feel and be limited is your own lack of faith in yourself and in God. A lack of faith in one’s Self is often expressed through self-criticism and other negative thought forms and negative self-talk. Understand dear ones regardless of what you have created as limitations through the labels you have designed, it is still up to you to change and improve yourself and to rise from the perception of being limited and become infinite and unlimited. The process you choose that will bring you out of your limited perception of your Self requires focused spiritual practice. You will gain deeper self-respect and see your Self as being worthy to being included as essential and infinite. When you choose to change your perception dear ones, a greater world unfolds before you that will help deliver you into the Wholeness of yourself.  End the self-judgments and criticizing of others. This kind of negative action does not propel you positively along your journey because these actions hold heavy negative emotions and are harmful to your Inner and Outer Self. Emotional residue from past experiences must be learned to let go. Don’t carry the past with you. Learn from the past, but let it go. You are here in the now, the present and this is where you create the choices that will bring in your tomorrow. Don’t allow the past to create an unnecessary handicap, dear ones. Remember you are a mirror image of God, God is infinite, this means you are as well. Realize dear ones you are productive, infinite and whole.  Taking the necessary steps to change your ways, your thoughts and feelings cannot ever be rushed. Take the time to nourish each change, letting go of any residual emotional and mental effects and allow yourself to embrace the new and uplifting energy you will begin to receive from God. Re-balancing and re-creating yourself is a process of self-love and self-care. Honour yourself through the gentle nature of your own purification that will bring you out of your old limiting perception of your Self. Through your own self-care and self-love you will heal past emotional wounds and eradicate destructive patterns by creating new ways to overcome difficult situations that are effective, efficient and Light bringing.  The success of your journey depends on you dear ones. Learn the difference of failure and indifference and through your discoveries understand the importance of clearly thinking before you make any choices that could create unnecessary discomfort. For those who see their journey with an air of indifference, clearly expresses their intentions that they do not care if they successfully reach any goal they have set out to reach. Basically their heart and soul is not into it and what they are striving to attain has little importance. Living in indifference for some dear souls provides a comfortable crutch. When the going gets a little challenging, they instantly retreat into an attitude of uncaring which is a limiting mind-set and reduces the opportunity to reaching beyond comfort zones that would have produced with patience what was wanted by the body, mind, heart and soul working together as one. We encourage each of you to break away from your limited ways and step forward with faith knowing each positive step you take creates greater spiritual growth and development.  We often see many dear souls judging and assuming their progress by what has yet to be achieved. Understand dear ones, even if you are given insight to a certain outcome, you are given only one possibility of endless possible outcomes. Comprehend dear ones the experiences you gained from the challenges that crossed your path have helped to mature your soul and to guide you further along your path with confidence into new challenges.  Regardless of where you are on your spiritual journey, there is always someone somewhere trying to overcome a situation and to develop further understanding of their current circumstance in order to move forward with deeper knowledge of their own truth, of what is light and right. Your journey, including your spiritual path is incredible. Your growth and development is not given to you, you grow these through your experiences and understanding of the messages and lessons each experience brought you.  There will always be a transition period when you make the conscious choice to become infinite as God. How long this takes has no time period…it cannot be rushed. Any success you create, illustrates the outcome as being true to you; the freedom of choosing to create exactly the steps needed to reach any goal that demonstrates your truest and deepest self that is truly infinite. The success of each goal you have attained has nothing to do with the need of being popular, as that would speak of the Ego at work. The successes you have attained is because you changed your thought process, attitude and added love into your efforts.  Becoming infinite instead of being limited is a choice dear ones. Don’t fear; embrace the unknown knowing each brave step you take is delivering you into a deeper understanding of yourself and of your connection with God.  And so it is… I AM Melchizedek  through Julie Miller  http://lightworkers.org/channeling/183476/if-god-described-being-infinitethen-so-are-you

Before you set out making grand goals to reach, it is essential dear ones to change your thoughts and let go of mindless indulgences. To achieve certain goals, sacrifices are required –-this is known and understood. In order for your plans to work successfully, you must be able to think clearly without any cluttering distractions that often sway to the negative side of things. Learn to develop a methodical mind and see your plans before you begin working and becoming all that you envisioned. Don’t limit yourself by holding onto limiting thoughts. Change your thoughts, and you change the course of all your actions. Any progress you have made so far is because you were WILLING to sacrifice something. You learned to rely on yourself rather than others, you at certain times were the master of your thoughts. You can be this master at all times, and you will achieve more success as a result in all matters that cross your path and you will achieve divinely.

Thank you Melchizedek and Julie!

YOU are the Maker of YOUR Self 
Melchizedek’s Weekly Message ~ May 26 – June 02, 2013
 
We begin with a reminder dear ones, the total sum of your thoughts is demonstrated through your character. It is important on this journey that you embrace your whole being, reaching every condition and situation with your complete heart. 
 
Everything you do is because of thoughts that are created by you. What you do, is not done out of thin air, but from you consciously choosing by what your thinking mind has created. And this is also the case for any spontaneous actions that were executed by you. You carried the thoughts that birthed them into action. 
 
Every action you take is considered as the blossom, or the flower of your thoughts. Any joy or suffering can be described as fruit of your labour. How you harvest your fruit, makes a great impact on how you will proceed in any situation. Will you react with bitterness towards the fruit of your labour or with sweetness regardless of the outcome? 
 
From what you think you build and create. If your thoughts are dark, many times you feel pain and discomfort and not necessarily physical pain. We have observed many dear souls become ill when they foster dark thoughts, even if they do not act on them; they carry destructive energy just as they are. But if your thoughts are pure of heart, joy and happiness will follow you in all things. 

Your growth and evolution as a physical being is part of the laws of nature, nothing of your fundamental nature that you were born with is artificial. You were born pure of any deviant thought or action. Understanding cause and effect as absolute came later when you developed understanding and a certain amount of awareness of yourself and others. Cause and Effect continues even now unswerving within your shadowy realm of thoughts in a world that is drastically emphasized by materialistic things. Achieving your God-liked-ness of character does not just happen overnight dear ones. This achievement is natural and it is the outcome of your continual effort to be in the right frame of thinking each time a situation is presented to you. By remaining with Un-God-liked-ness thoughts what is observed and felt is a brutish and cruel nature and many dear souls that continue in this process is because of their exaggerated thoughts that are not pure of heart or in nature. 
 
Through your thoughts dear ones, you either create yourself or you unmake yourself. You can be the creator of joy and build strength and peace from your thoughts that will have positive effects and benefits on those closest to you and will help to raise the Earth’s Vibration. The choices you make from the thoughts you carry does hold tremendous weight dear ones. Within each of you are the extreme sides of your nature, light vs. dark. These polarities are always with you. It is up to you to balance your energies and learn to harvest balanced thoughts that will demonstrate the goodness of your character through the pureness of your spiritual heart. Remember dear ones you are the maker of your Self. 
 
Each truth you face is beautiful as it holds many opportunities to better yourself and restore any diminished light in any area of your being. Because you are the Master and Maker of your Self, you alone hold the promise of how your personality will shape, and how to proceed within any condition, what will be your environment and how your future will unfold. It is you dear ones that make your life happen, and it is you as well that can destroy it. 
 
Due to your Inner Power, Wisdom and Love you have the innate capability to transform and regenerate every situation just because you Will it to be. Many of you have forgotten this fact, each of you have always been the master of your thoughts and of where your path goes as a result. No matter how weak you may feel, you are still the master of your thoughts. By allowing yourself time to reflect on matters that brought out certain situations, you will see through the purity of your heart how things became degraded and through your diligent search for inner answers you will discover profound wisdom on which you will act upon with intelligence and mindful of your thoughts. Becoming a conscious master of your thoughts, you explore within your Inner Being who you really are and this incredible helpful discovery will direct you to apply this new found knowledge in practical application through every experience you meet. 
 
Through your constant search for Inner Knowledge, you will achieve greatness as you discover your truth and your truth is Golden dear ones. With continual searching within your soul to learn of your Self, you will learn how to be more observant and how to make conscious and positive choices; you learn how to positively change your thoughts due to their impact on your whole self and journey. You learn from any mistake you created, you discover newer and more efficient ways of doing things by practice and exploration. By making use of the knowledge gained from every experience you have had, you are able to obtain peace of mind and become the master of your Self. 
 
Any thoughts that hold the image of weakness, strength, purity or impurity are yours and not anyone else’s. It is your individual responsibility to make the appropriate changes that will bring about joy and happiness. Even if the dear soul is weaker by character to someone who is stronger, the weaker one must want to be helped and even when the weaker one accepts help, they must find their own strength within the help they are receiving in order to develop strength that will help change his/her own perception of themselves. 
 
During moments where you may feel weak within yourself we remind you to practice compassion. Compassion is not only for the ones perceived to be weak and oppressed but is a necessary Right Action even for the ones who are untroubled. Compassion is not meant to be seen as one-sided. When you finally conquer your moment of weakness you will come home to the freedom of your whole and complete self. It is up to you to remain feeling weak and miserable. When you rise and lift your thoughts, then you become in control of your journey. 

Before you set out making grand goals to reach, it is essential dear ones to change your thoughts and let go of mindless indulgences. To achieve certain goals, sacrifices are required –-this is known and understood. In order for your plans to work successfully, you must be able to think clearly without any cluttering distractions that often sway to the negative side of things. Learn to develop a methodical mind and see your plans before you begin working and becoming all that you envisioned. Don’t limit yourself by holding onto limiting thoughts. Change your thoughts, and you change the course of all your actions. 
 
Any progress you have made so far is because you were WILLING to sacrifice something. You learned to rely on yourself rather than others, you at certain times were the master of your thoughts. You can be this master at all times, and you will achieve more success as a result in all matters that cross your path and you will achieve divinely. 
 
There is no favouritism from the Universe or even from God to those that demonstrate greed and dishonest selfishness. These dear souls may appear to have much in a material sense, but those that have virtuous thoughts have more. The dear souls that demonstrate this greed and selfish nature provide helpful reminders to those of an altruistic manner to remain this way noble and unselfish. The teacher isn’t always of a pure Faith or Right way of being; Some of the teachers you will cross paths with will be quite the opposite. Every person becomes the teacher and the student. 
 
Any intelligent achievements you have made is because of your thoughts and your search for deeper knowledge that feeds your soul and resonates with your heart. You find yourself in these discoveries and unravel many truths. The achievement of discovering your truth requires arduous effort by you with the understanding that your truth may not be EXACTLY the same as another’s. You cannot push your truth on another soul, as that would be an infringement of their own beliefs and their own truths. Learning to accept respectfully that each of you has your own truths to discover and each truth is worthy to be shared and accepted even if you do not agree with another person’s truth. You are grateful to learn of their thoughts, their beliefs and you honour them with your love and compassion instead of demonstrating any kind of indignity towards them. Each of you has something worthy and special to share. Be mindful and always act from the Goodness of your thoughts. 
 
Comprehend dear ones that all your achievements are the crowning of all your efforts that were born from your thoughts. When you maintain self-control, purity of thought and heart, up-righted decency in all things you will grow and develop in positive Light and Love bringing ways. By now you have learned those that maintain a lack of self-control, impurity and corruption of thought will not achieve in a positive Light and Love manner. There are always opposites to everything; two sides to every coin. It is up to you how to change your thoughts in order to change the direction of your path. Your thoughts become your actions; remember this dear ones. 
 
We have witnessed many dear souls rise in great worldly success even with great heights in the Divine Realm of Spirit only to fall because of their change of thoughts…they become lofty and arrogant instead of remaining mindful and pure of heart. Any victories that were achieved through your Right thought requires careful observation by you. Don’t lost what you have worked so hard to gain by losing control of your thoughts by becoming selfish and greedy. It makes little difference if victories won are through any form of business, intellectually or within the Divine Realm of Spirit because they became successful because of your definite directed thoughts and you applied yourself completely in order to attain the victorious object of your goal. 
 
To achieve greatly, you must be willing to sacrifice greatly and maintain order of your thoughts, as they do become action. 
 
I AM Melchizedek

There are many people who say sorry so much dear ones that they have forgotten what it means to forgive or why they are sorry. Forgiveness has nothing to do with being appreciative or ungrateful towards another person’s actions. Forgiveness is all about letting go of what has happened. When you are drawn into the negative vengeful pool, you are actually attaching yourself to the actual source of what has caused you to feel hurt and miserable. When you make the choice to react and respond in anger, resentment, revenge and even childish retaliation you are not gaining anything dear ones, but you are losing a precious part of yourself. Any one person that brings out such strong and negative reactions does provide you with much to learn from and with the opportunity to let this person go. Yes they can teach you much of yourself and you will grow with more knowledge and wisdom, but it is vital that you also surround yourself with people that support and influence you in positive ways that bring calm and balance to your emotional state. Remember dear ones, forgiveness is your ability to act and react responsibly without any amount of spitefulness. Forgiveness allows you to reclaim your creative spirit and energy, and to direct it in healthier ways that provides you with many growth potentials for your journey.

Thank you Melchizedek and Julie!

Indecision is a Choice
Melchizedek’s Weekly Message ~ May 19 – 26, 2013
 
How each dear soul thinks, behaves and engages in all the many aspects of their life are derived from certain beliefs and truths. In order for each of you to reach your highest potential in all areas, including your spiritual journey some of you may need to make a few necessary changes or adjustments.
 
There are many dear souls that live upon your earthly home that literally run on an autopilot sort of way. They go about their life, with little to no concern of others – they are mindless. We encourage each of you, even those working by spreading the Love and Light of God to be more mindful of everyone on a Global scale. The more mindful each of you can become, the more aware you also become of certain higher truths that will resonate with both your heart and your soul. When you reach these Divine truths, you grow more in ways that are meaningful and provides satisfaction in every area of your life. 
 
Meditation is a great way to apply focus on any one area that you know is weak and needs adjustment. Through meditation, many answers to solutions will be discovered once you learn to quiet the mind and let go. It is also possible to meditate on spiritual principles such as gratitude, humility, optimism, generosity, forgiveness, intention and expectation. 
 
Keep in mind dear ones, each day is given to you as a gift from God just as every breath you take, nothing is to be taken for granted, yet many forget the simplicity of their journey and become easily annoyed when reminded the necessity to be grateful for all things regardless how big or small. When you consciously fill your Self with the air of gratitude you are providing yourself with very uplifting and rewarding energy. Many dear souls do this throughout their day from the moment they wake until they retire to bed for the night…they live within the spirit of gratitude. 
 
It is understood that many dear souls do not understand what humility is. Humility has nothing to do with being an easy target for others to walk over, or to act better than the next dear soul. Humility provides you with the opportunity to be unbiased. When you demonstrate humility you are telling those around you in a quiet yet noticeable way that you have no need to think of yourself better or less than the next dear soul; you are able to let go of petty squabbles and carry on. We have witnessed many dear souls that have taken the stance of Humility have discovered that this way of dealing with situations that would have normally brought out heated words to be very liberating. Many have successfully reclaimed creative and productive energy that was derived from situations that they consciously chose to not take sides or engage heatedly. This is a time of great growth and development, when you are able to liberate yourself from the need to be better than others. 
 
Optimism is a word that describes much of your attitude and behaviour when you are setting goals to reach certain outcomes. All things will turn out dear ones once you learn to make the best of the way things do turn out. Each outcome is mainly in your control. There may be outside influences that you are unable to predict but when challenges arise it is up to you to choose the best solution that is optimal for all. You will always reach your outcome when you apply positive action from your positive thinking. By working with positive action you begin to capitalize on your ability to creative, innovate, discover or rediscover specific strategies that will assist you on achieving the goals you have been working towards. 
 
Even in your modern world there are many dear souls among you that live within the pockets of their Ego. They often exercise bitterness, resentment; sometimes they demonstrate negative self-pity, and for the most part describe a narcissistic attitude. It is essential that as you age, you are able to remove yourself from such ways of being and thinking. A life that is filled with happiness and fulfillment is a life that is filled with gratitude for each person that is a part of your life, even if that person occasionally annoys you.

When you are able to let go of old history of disagreements and welcome a lighter and more upbeat attitude you will dear ones become more happily engaged in the simple act of giving yourself to others. You will feel stronger and content. Even if what you give is saying something nice to your waiter or waitress, or offering supporting words to a weary cleaner, you are generously giving yourself to others and these little things will bring joy to your heart and to the people you choose to interact with and give yourself to. How wonderful you will feel when you agreeably do small favours for someone without being asked. If you have a disgruntled neighbour greet them with a generous hello and even if that person doesn’t reply in kind you still gave of yourself and showed that you cared and this is pleasing to both your heart and your soul. Giving of yourself is another area filled with great growth and development. 
 
There are many people who say sorry so much dear ones that they have forgotten what it means to forgive or why they are sorry. Forgiveness has nothing to do with being appreciative or ungrateful towards another person’s actions. Forgiveness is all about letting go of what has happened. When you are drawn into the negative vengeful pool, you are actually attaching yourself to the actual source of what has caused you to feel hurt and miserable. When you make the choice to react and respond in anger, resentment, revenge and even childish retaliation you are not gaining anything dear ones, but you are losing a precious part of yourself. 
 
Any one person that brings out such strong and negative reactions does provide you with much to learn from and with the opportunity to let this person go. Yes they can teach you much of yourself and you will grow with more knowledge and wisdom, but it is vital that you also surround yourself with people that support and influence you in positive ways that bring calm and balance to your emotional state. Remember dear ones, forgiveness is your ability to act and react responsibly without any amount of spitefulness. Forgiveness allows you to reclaim your creative spirit and energy, and to direct it in healthier ways that provides you with many growth potentials for your journey. 

When you move along your journey passively and path will lead you. It is important dear ones to make decisions and to choose what you want and how to get there. Don’t allow passivity to keep you stuck. Not only realize but recognize the necessity of choosing a goal as a focal point of your creative energy. It is understood that many dear souls remain stuck because they fear letting go of what is commonplace and known. You must break away from what is known and embrace the unknown in order to grow. There is always the possibility that any choice you make could be the “wrong” choice, but each choice you make is yours and each one has multiple lessons that provide incredible learning opportunities that will enrich your entire life. Comprehend dear ones, when choose to not decide to do something you are actually making a choice. It is important to make conscious choices and to commit to them, and claim them, as they are yours to own. Appreciate each choice you make and remember your intent that is fostered with great Will, will provide you with the outcome you are seeking. We encourage you to focus your attention and precious energy on what is important in your life and if there are areas that need a little tweaking then follow the guidance of your heart. 
 
Anytime you have succeeded or not succeeded in reaching a specific goal you realize it has much to do with the effort you put into each step. Please realize dear ones whenever you succeed or fail you are demonstrating the intentions of your effort. When the methods to reaching a certain goal doesn’t work out, don’t look at this a failure, see it is an opportunity to try again, but applying different methods, visualize its outcome and see it through each step of the way. 
 
Even if you do not realize this dear ones, you are continuously programing and reprograming each segment of your life. When you begin each step towards your goal to achieve with clarity of your intention you increase strength and focus and with your applied energy your outcome will demonstrate this collaboration of total working togetherness of your Whole Self. We remind you dear ones, where your energy flows is also where your attention will go. If your energy is all over the place, so will your attention.  
 
Your journey is filled with so much learning potential. The choices you make determine the course of your path. You must learn from all your experiences and figure out the lessons that come from each one, even if the experience came from difficult trials and tribulations. There is growth to be found even from the most tragic of circumstances. It is up to you dear ones to see this potential and learn from all that has crossed your path.
