CEO pay continues to skyrocket at an exponential pace, as do the wages of the top executives beneath them. This is that ‘rat race’ we all live in, which sees all of us chasing money — at the expense of nearly everything else. While money is admittedly necessary at this moment to survive and put food on the table, how much is enough? If you view social issues like poverty to be the result of a lack of resources and money, why do so few of us question the current wealth allocation and distribution on the planet? If we were to take very small percentages of pay from the elite ‘1’ percent, we could use that money to feed, clothe, and house everybody on the planet.

As a result of this skyrocketing trend, the money of millions of people with pensions, IRAs, and 401 (k) plans continues to be expropriated, and there appears to be nothing we can do about it. Robert Reich, an American political economist, explains the severity of the situation in a recent post on his Facebook page:

For thousands of years, people from around the world have used aloe vera for everything from soothing sunburn to oral wounds. In recent years, research has suggested that the plant may boast even more health benefits thanks to the properties and compounds found in its leaves. A South Korean study reports that aloe vera supports the immune system. [1] Another study has indicated that aloe vera can fight harmful organisms in the digestive tract. [2]

Aloe vera is great for flushing out toxins and waste from the digestive tract [3], which in turn helps the body to absorb nutrients more effectively. This also supports circulation and gets more oxygen-rich blood to cells throughout the body. Today, we’ll look at how aloe vera supports heart health.

To grow you will need to release the old.  The hurts, rejections, resentments, negatives, and any unrequited experiences from the past will keep you exactly where you are now.  It may be challenging letting go of the things that have provided you with safety for so long, but it can be done.  My love, release what no longer serves you!  You are worthy and deserving of receiving the best of your Earth plane existence. ~ Creator

Acceptance is the most powerful tool you have to move beyond judgment and resistance. It is the divine calm that allows you to be fully present in the magic of the Now. It is the foundation of patience, of peace, and of unconditional love. It is demonstrating your complete faith and trust in the universe, in your guides, and in your own highest self to deliver exactly what you need. More than that, through its gift of balance and presence, it allows you to become a safe person for others, an energetic anchor in the storm. It is a great gift! We encourage you to embrace this element as a vital resource for your day to day comfort and satisfaction as you learn to navigate your life expressions in a far more empowered way. ~Archangel Gabriel

God said:

When I view the world from the Blessed Seat of Consciousness I sit on, sometimes I think the world functions, not so much on illusory time as much as it functions on excuses. You know what? Excuses are lame. Excuses are a dime a dozen. Excuses are no excuse at all. There does seem to be a kind of mutual consent, as if the sellers of excuses and the buyers of excuses wink at each other.

A given reason is rarely a true excuse, yet My children parry excuses in order to get by in life. There is such an abundance of stand-by excuses that My children could make recordings of a few of their regularly-used excuses and save themselves much time and energy.

By and large, an excuse is an excuse is an excuse. It is a fill-in. Cotton stuffing.

Probably you have heard all the excuses in the world:

"I didn't have time. I had to eat. The bus was late. I forgot. I got busy. I had to go shopping. I was too tired. I'm just too kind, and I can't say no. This is how I am. I can't help it."

Are these familiar to you?

My children tend to believe in their excuses as virtual reality when the truth is that excuses are weak fabrications that can become a way of life.

The truth of a situation is more likely: "There is something else I wanted to do. There is something else that is more important to me than what I promised you. I don't like to be depended on. I take on too much. I make promises I cannot keep."

The truth is you make promises, and you break your promises meaning to justify your innocence.

It’s easy to ignore our personal issues by focusing solely on what’s wrong with the world, but in doing so, we enable our shortcomings to continue and avoid crucial lessons that contribute to the growth of the soul.

We should obviously raise awareness of the dysfunction in society, but we can do it without ignoring our own issues. If our personal choices affect the world like some say, then we can enable the changes the world needs by making personal changes of our own.

In my opinion, the best way to help the world is to match our personal changes with dedicated activism. We can strive to become better and make the world a better place, and one of them doesn’t have to replace the other.

The ideal world-changer recognizes their flaws and works to resolve them, and the hole in our hearts will grow until we look within and discover that beyond the pain we subconsciously cling to exist nothing but love, divine emptiness and inspiration to change.
