God said:

Don't think I tell you to dismiss the world. I exalt you to love the world. Just don't make the world your God. Do not worship World Palaces. Do not give the world dominion over you.

Obey the laws, and be true to your Self. True to your Self, you are true to Me. By Self, I mean your True Self. I do not mean your personality. Enjoy your personality, yet not be overtaken by it.

Just as you do not know what life may bring to you, you do not know what wonders you are yet to perform. Of course, it's not exactly that you perform wonders. You ARE the wonders. You wield the wand of wonderfulness. There are treasures within you that you have no idea of. These treasures humble you, not inflate you.

Treasures may fall from your hands. They may fall from your tongue. You are a Messenger of God. The treasures may be silent. They may appear as invisible. Right now, most of these jewels in your possession are invisible to you. It is like you have squeezed your eyes shut.

Jewels from you will venture forth. Rubies and diamonds will fall from your love of their own accord. They know when and where. You don’t have to know. You are an instrument of My Love and Will.

All this I planted in you. Blossoms know when to blossom. According to its season, fruit knows when to appear, and it is beautiful. The world is beautiful. Life is beautiful. You are beautiful. Beauty is made of love.

You may have been lead to believe that ‘finding your purpose’ is the be-all, end-all of your Earth plane existence.  Not so, my child!  From the moment you were born, you have actually been living your purpose here.  As a student, teacher, observer and participant in life.  Please remember to release the focus on that one thing and know you are indeed living! ~ Creator

Dear Ones, many of you are coming to the end of one phase of your life and about to shift into new areas, new experiences, new service contracts. How do you know you are close to that shift? When you start to feel very uncomfortable and yearn for it.

Think of sailors who have been out to sea for an extended period of time. When they are at the start or middle phase of their journey, they are in acceptance of their situation but when it starts to be near the time their voyage should be ending, they start to feel uncomfortable and antsy. When they finally see their destination on the horizon the excitement and impatience intensifies but it still takes a while to reach land.

That is the phase so many of you are in right now. You can feel the new land is close, or perhaps you can even see it, but you haven’t quite arrived on shore. You feel cramped and impatient because your soul is so excited for the next phase to begin. Please know an increase in your discomfort is often an indicator that profound change is about to break through. Keep focused, do what you can to prepare and keep yourself comfortable until you land in the new energies, and know that evolution is a constant you can be sure of as an enlightening human being on an ascending planet. ~Archangel Gabriel

God said:

Certainly, ego can motivate you toward success. At the same time, great ego does not make you great. Great results are nice, very nice, very wanted and very welcome, yet results do not sustain you. All the success in the world does not sustain you. All the money in the world is nice, very nice, very welcome, and yet, as you have heard, you can't buy happiness with it. Success is not an external matter.

Just as the secret of happiness as well as unhappiness lies within, the same secret goes for success, of course, regardless of what you say qualifies you for success.

By no means do I say you are to scoff at success. Success is worthy. All kinds of success are worthy. Be wealthy. Be a movie star. Write a great novel. Be famous. Invent something wonderful for mankind.

However, sooner or later, success in the world wears out. It's not everlasting. It just isn't enough for you. Even if the world bows down to you, it's here today and gone tomorrow. Let love over ego motivate you.

There is no being the fairest of all as the queen in a fairy tale wanted to hear every day. That's ego. Sooner or later, ego lets you down. That's the nature of ego.

Have fun with fame, success, rolling in dough, etc., yet keep your wits about you. Don't let world success go to your head.
