So many of you live your lives with a focus on what is unwanted. You are attempting to live by exclusion. What about navigating your path with a focus on what is wanted? Then you would be living by inclusion, by acceptance, by love. Such a subtle, yet profound shift, wouldn’t you say? ~Archangel Gabriel

God said:

It may seem to you that I let you pass Go, or I do not let you pass Go. It may seem to you that just when you are crossing the draw bridge, it raises up, or some kind of axe does fall. You get skittery with life. You jump around here and there, and can’t seem to get past something and find your direction.

Life seems to delay you. People delay. Everything seems to conspire to make you wait for life to begin or, at least, for life to get up off the couch. It may seem to you that you are waiting interminably in the Waiting Room of Life.

How does one individual of billions on Earth jump-start his or her life? It takes great courage for you. It is not easy for you to feel that you are the Captain of Your Ship. You feel more like you are caught in the doldrums or in a swirling eddy, neither of which leads you where you want to be and who you wish to be.

You are sure that life was meant to be different. You hustle and bustle. You stay still. It doesn’t seem to matter, for your life seems to wait in line. It is like you have been caught at the starting gate all your life long.

You might like to light a fire under your life and get momentum.

You have been idling in a sailboat, and now you want a speedboat.

You feel that you and your life are staying still in a lagoon. Oh, how you want to get somewhere.

You may feel that you sit out your life in a rocking-chair on your front porch.

You might have heard about a few of them, but not as much as you should. Here’s our pick of the last 12 month’s top news stories, all pretty much ignored by the corporate press.

Whistleblowers, Ecocide, top secret trade deals, and shady ties between the Islamic State and the West’s closest allies…here are a few hot topics the mainstream media barely covered in 2015.

1. Any Tragedy That’s Not Western-Centric

Perfectionism is sneaky – on the surface it sounds like it could be a good thing. After all, what’s wrong with perfection?

It is true that perfectionism is a strategy for success, but when you measure success by your ability to be consistently perfect, success is perpetually out of reach. The strategy of perfectionism, sooner or later, does the opposite of what it was intended to do.

If you look closely you will see that, like a wolf in sheep’s clothes, perfectionism is just another name for self-judgment. In the name of perfection, we give ourselves permission to be self-critical and undermining every time we fall short. Never quite meeting our own standards of perfection, because good is not good enough, we become our own worst enemies. If there is such a thing as perfect, and we believe that we must live up to this unrealistic ideal in order to succeed, we set ourselves up for perpetual disappointment, failure and maybe even depression.

Joy is an attitude. It is a choice one makes every moment. The key to joy is gratitude. When you are thankful for every experience you are having, your whole Being energetically opens to the possibility of feeling joy.

We encourage you to spend time this week being in joy, every moment. Continue with this practice until it becomes habitual. You came from a place of joy and soon you will return to that place. In the meantime, you have the right to be filled with joy. It is your choice!   Be in joy! Be joy!  Men 1

Dear Ones, there are going to be times when you find yourselves uncomfortable – out of alignment, resistant, feeling frustrated or angry. All emotions are part of the human experience, and no human being is going to stay balanced and positive all of the time.

You may find an energetic shift particularly challenging. You might get busy and forget to practice the things that help you stay in balance. As a human on the planet, you are always being exposed to different energies and changes, and there will be some circumstances you may find more difficult to deal with. That is quite normal.

So what do you do about it? If you are finding yourself suddenly feeling uncomfortable, the first thing we recommend is that you don’t push against it. Resistance will only dig you deeper into the energies you are finding undesirable. Think of quicksand. The more you fight, the more you get stuck.

Just stop. Still yourself. Recognize you have landed in a place that is not your preference. Be kind and gentle with yourself. This is not the time to berate and abuse yourself! You are not bad or stupid for landing where you are. You are now in awareness and can do something about it.

Scream and shout, dance and sing, live and love. The most amazing things happen when you open yourself up to experience. ~ Creator
