God said:
Sometimes you would prefer to be in the doldrums. Perhaps it gives you an opportunity to feel left out of joy. This can be called self-pity or drama. Dismiss the idea of your "lot in life." Your lot in life is your prerogative. Your lot in life is up to you.
From the outside, someone may live a most difficult life, yet he or she may be happier than someone else who, on the surface, leads a most blessed life.
Your life is what you name it.
In any case, you are a self-made man or woman.
Of course, some things in life are out of your hands, yet how you receive and deal with what life hands you – this is up to you. Therefore, your life is up to you. You are the weaver of your life. You have a vision of it, and you live up to your vision. Have a Grander Vision.
Perhaps you have never thought you could have a joyous life. Take to heart the idea that you can and will have a very happy life. Don't go by the past. Don't hold on to it. Don't salvage old ideas.
You are ever on a new cusp of life. There is no separation between you and Me except as you think so. Oneness is true. Separation is illusion. The idea of separation between Us is a perception in the world. It is not Truth. It doesn't matter if the whole world thinks we are separated, it is not Truth. It is a weird fantasy you have told yourself, and this fantasy doesn't serve you. It holds you back.
You have heard the expression: Attitude is everything.
