You are My Goodness. Through you am I realized. You are My Ambassador of Good Will. It is through you and all My beautiful creatures that I am known. I am discovered through you. You are My adman. You promote and advertise Me. It is to you that I have entrusted the world. It is for you to keep the world afloat – much more than afloat. It is you who enriches lives on Earth. Through you, am I announced.

Even when you might forget Me and Our place in the world together, even when you may feel half-hearted about life, even then you point people to Me, the Source of All. Even in what you perceive as need, you point to Me. Souls on Earth can also look to where you are not pointing, and also be clued in to you.

There is no difficulty on Earth that does not have an answer. The thing is that the answer may not be the one you are looking for. Not always can you, My children, pick out your most desired answer. You may want a blue sky today, and yet the sky is gray. Gray skies aren’t all bad, you know. You can release your demands.

Gratitude wins the day! Is there a holiday called All Hearts’ Day? Every day is meant to be.

HJ: To be deeply loved and accepted for who we are is everyone’s most deeply held desire and yet it so rarely happens in this life… at least from other people.  But by more deeply connecting with your authentic self, you can create that love and acceptance from within, which is the only place you can ever count on it to arise.  True, some of us may be lucky enough to experience unconditional love and acceptance from other people, but if we don’t feel it towards ourselves, then we ultimately cannot accept it fully as it is given.

This article is about learning to accept yourself and your life experience deeply and completely, for this is one of the fastest paths to experience profound, lasting happiness, fulfillment, joy and self-love in your life.

Wikipedia describes motivation as:

a theoretical construct, used to explain behavior. It is the scientific word used to represent the reasons for our actions, our desires, our needs, etc.

Like an old steam locomotive that requires a train driver to toss coal into its boiler, motivation is the very fuel that spurs us to action. It’s a bit illusive though. Motivation isn’t itself any specific thing. Everything we do in every minute of every day is motivated by something. And that something can be anything. 

For the most part, we’re not concerned with motivation. We don’t usually question what makes us want to eat Cheerios vs. Raisin Bran in the morning or what makes us want to be Batman vs. Superman for Halloween. But when it comes to things that affect our greater well-being we become extremely interested in motivation and how to affect it.

Even if it falls from the sky, you’re not allowed to have it. Gary Harrington, a man from Medford Oregon, is learning that lesson well, serving out a 30 day prison sentence for collecting rainwater on his property. He was also slapped with a $1500 fine for diverting snow runoff and rainwater into reservoirs on his land. This action violates what some say is an antiquated law.

Harrington built the reservoirs, which hold around 13 million gallons of water, for personal use. It’s not all personal though; when wildfires hit the area, he opens up his reservoir for fire mitigation purposes. In his mind, it’s perfectly acceptable for him to collect water on his property.

An eighth grade boy from Weaverville, California was given a detention for sharing his lunch with another classmate and friend. 13 year-old Kyle Bradford decided to share his chicken burrito with his friend who wasn’t very fond of the cheese sandwich the cafeteria server him. Kyle didn’t see any problem in sharing his food with the other student, I mean, who would? My friends and I always shared food when I was a kid. Here’s what Kyle had to say about it:

“It seemed like he couldn’t get a normal lunch, so I just wanted to give mine to him because I wasn’t really that hungry… It was just going to go in the garbage if I didn’t eat it.”

The Northern California school district has rules against sharing food in order to prevent issues with allergies among students. The Superintendent of The Trinity Alps Unified School District, Tom Barnett, spoke with KRCR-TV and told them that hygiene issues are also a concern when it comes to preventing students from sharing their food.
