God said:

One difference between you and Me concerns how We feel about responsibility and the carrying out of responsibility into the world. You may feel responsibility as heavy-duty and, perhaps, feel heavy-hearted altogether. You may feel responsibility clinging to your shoulders. You weigh responsibility, and find it heavy.

Likely, you worry responsibility back and forth like a cat with a mouse. You may have the idea that responsibility is too much for you. In that case, you may shrug your shoulders and find one way or another to get out of it. If you believe that responsibility is too much for you, then responsibility will be too much for you, and you will shrink from it.

You lump responsibility together with worry. You doubt you worry about how well you will do and how well you may be thought of. Will you do a job well-done, or will you be a flop at it?

You don't want to feel lacking. You don't want to put yourself in that position, so you may decline responsibility. You may excuse yourself by saying: "I'm someone who never liked responsibility. I'm not good at it. I don't even want to be good at it."

The Game of Life is not all about-approval ratings, yet approval-ratings matter a lot to you. You would love to be appreciated beyond your wildest dreams. At the very least, you don't want to feel disapproved of. You may well have had too much criticism and too little sanction given to you in life. You not only disallow some choices, you may dribble along in life, seemingly without a care.

The universe is always presenting you with ideas and opportunities. Think of the universe holding something up to you and asking, “This?” You, as the creator of your life expression, get to say yes, or to move on. You give your approval through your focus, choice, and appreciation.

Your life is much like a buffet. You will always have a myriad of options you can choose from. You get to decide what you put on your plate and what you leave behind. You certainly don’t have to stay there wailing, “Oh no, there’s tomatoes again! WHY does there have to be tomatoes every time I go to a buffet?!” They are there because some people like them, but it doesn’t mean they ever have to be part of your personal experience if you don’t want them to be.

The universe is not out to vex you, Dear Ones, or test you, or try you. The world is filled with enough options to satisfy the billions of souls on your planet. There is not something innately wrong with you that needs fixing if you keep drawing tomatoes into your experience. Feel free to move beyond whatever is not a match to you, but understand it is a blessing to live in such a diverse world that can serve everyone’s needs. ~Archangel Gabriel

Step outside of your story. Look at it from the outside. Only then will you discover the truth about yourself. ~ Creator

God said:

Infinity exists. The word Infinity is the same as to say that time is non-existent. There is no past, present, or future. There is no time-line, not even a soupçon of time, not even a teaspoonful of time. Everything is simultaneous, even as simultaneous also aligns with time. In life in the world, timing plays a great role.

You are often advised to live in the present. What does this mean really? We can say it means to be focused on Infinity. There is a double-cross here because Infinity is timelessness. Infinity is Vaster than the Vast.

Infinity is certainly more Being than Doing. How many times has this been said?

Yet, there is agreement that it is advisable to live in the moment. Living in the so-called moment can be an Act of Will. I don't suppose that living in the moment is a decision you make. Living in the moment can be a desire and an intention, yet your awareness of "the present" does not happen by dint of a snap of your fingers. You cannot so easily turn yourself off to the past and the future, even as you would wish you could.

Living in what is called the moment takes no focus. You can't focus on being in the present. You are where you happen to be, mildly or full-force all over the place. You are unable to turn the jets of life on and off, any more than you can truthfully turn love on and off at your will. You are where you are.

Where you are right now is not where you have to be or where you will always be. You will sail new seas. You can count on it.
