God said:

You are free on Earth. It may not seem so to you. You may feel bogged down in so many matters that you are overwhelmed.

Dear Ones, you are free even to be overwhelmed. It is not a stretch to say that out of a peck of opportunities, you may well have chosen one named Overwhelmed.

There are so many choices in life before you. All of them are for you to choose from.

You even have the choice to run away from what you would love to choose. You may put your hand out, and then pull your hand back. You do not give yourself credit for the ability to achieve your desires, and so you back away, or, perhaps, it can be said that you back away from fulfilling a desire of yours out of timidity or, perhaps, from some kind of fear of success or failure. In any case, it can be that you accept less than your full quotient.

On one level, it doesn't matter. On another level, it matters very much. Well, who in life knows for a fact what his best choices are? You can only guess.

Perhaps you can build yourself up to say Yes more often to what you desire than you say No to what you desire. If Life has picked a flower for you, it may behoove you to accept the flower and not throw it away.

Regardless, Life is your choice, and you choose one way or another.

Caution tells you that you can't accept everything that comes your way. On the other hand, you want your heart to flow where it wants to flow.

Do not be afraid to show your soul to the world. For every one person that turns away, there are ten willing to see, love, appreciate and respect you for who you truly are. ~ Creator

Dear Ones, did you know that loving yourself actually improves your relationships? When you don’t make decisions based on what is best for you, you will experience resentment. There is no energy that will erode your feelings of love faster than resentment.

You see, if you make a choice that is not in alignment with how you really feel, you will feel angry and resentful in the action. So automatically you will feel resistance to the activity. You will then be angry at having to do it, and angry at yourself for agreeing to, and angry at the person for having you do it, even though it is something that you agreed to, or even offered!

Because you have made a choice that is out of balance with your own needs and feeling that resentment, you will be prone to lash out, making you seem unpredictable and unsafe to the other. Further, that seething resentment will make you feel like you are sacrificing so much for the other, but because you have not been honest about your feelings, you will never feel the level of appreciation you feel you deserve for such efforts.

Look, no one can see ahead of time all the questions that you might ask before you take a leap into living life. 

You learn as you grow. You grow as you learn. You move forward, one step at a time. This is how you walk, one foot after the other. A pattern evolves and comes to light. This is Life – the Surprise of a Lifetime. 

You walk in a mist, as it were. You may have no idea where you are or how far you have come. You may think you trudge when you are actually flying as free as a bird. 

Life does not come to you prepackaged. Life is not all neat and wrapped up as you might like it to be. Life has a thousand ways – a million ways – a billion ways – to find its way to you and hand you a message. 

Life is always barreling on its way to you, seemingly like the childhood game of Tiddlywinks where you flip little discs into a cup -- and there you are – your Life made up of little circles reaching you. These little circles become the building blocks of your Life in the World. What a Fantastic world you are in!

Look, Tiddlywinks come in all colors, and all colors enter your Life and take their place. Life may seem incidental, accidental or coincidental, yet Life is not hit or miss. Life is indeed purposeful. Life is always leading you somewhere even as you may not have a clue to where Life is leading you or what your next step will be, yet your next step is right here before you. Take your chances. 

Life may seem more like a chess game to you, and you may hear Life say to you: "Checkmate!"
