The Truth About Frustration

God said: 

Rely on yourself.

It is not for you to wait for the outside world to smooth your path. You have to be your own savior. You cannot wait for the world to change for you. When you are feeling incessantly frustrated, the ball is in your court.

It may not be possible for you to change outside circumstances. You may not be able to remove the causes of all the frustration that you are currently experiencing, What you have to do is to change your take on the frustration.

Frustration arises in you because certain events are not going according to your plan or are not going according to your convenience. I do not want you to feel so frustrated and thwarted, and so I ask you to find a place of calmness within you.

Perhaps you need to give yourself a break. Perhaps take the day off. If nothing is going right for you today, do something else. Who is saying you have to fight frustration tooth and nail? Who is saying you have to get your dander up? Who is it that says that you have to continue in the frustration mode?

Throw your hands up then! Get away from it. Do something else. Remove yourself from the situation for a while.

From Love, Create Your Life

Heavenletter #4717   October 24, 2013

God said: 

Consider this: There is no penalty. You are not in danger. There is no danger.

Yes, yes, you imagine penalty and/or danger around every corner. You do not need to wear a knight’s shining armor. You do not need protection. You are safe. You are well taken-care of.

Ah, but you choose to be what you perceive as a realist, and you feel pursued by all that you do not want. You make friends with it.

Will you, as a favor to Me, please start feeling safe and secure and know that I forever hold you safe in My arms of love?

The world is fraught with change, and this worries you. Begin to remind yourself that the world is filled with love as well. Love is inevitable. Love is secure. Love from Me to you is a constant. Love you have, only, you hide so much love from yourself. Perhaps you do not feel worthy, and so you deny yourself security. You deny yourself love. You give yourself suffering in advance. Perhaps you feel that, by suffering in advance, you are lessening your chances of pain. Beloveds, what you are doing is making sure that you receive what you consider your allotted pain. It is like you make a reservation for it, as if you desire a front-row seat, as if you don’t want to miss the performance.

You do not need to draw any kind of suffering to you. If, as you seem to think, pain is inevitable, why, then, draw it to you? Don’t keep count. Don’t run toward it. Don’t have your arms wide open for it.

You find life scary. Therefore, you are scared. Yet fear does not protect you. Why do you act as though it does? Fear may well actually draw to you that which you fear.

Give up on suffering. You have learned suffering. You have been taught it. You were a good learner. You believe pain is inevitable, and so you lie in wait for it, as if lying in wait is somehow a repellant, or, perhaps, that being alert to suffering, suffering will pass you by as a courtesy or as a delaying action. But the thing is, you tend to wait for the other shoe to fall. What you wait in watch for, often occurs, or you call it to you, and it comes.

Perhaps you consider the world a jungle. Think a different thought. What you think matters. It matters a lot. What you think is like a map you follow.

Better to take initiative and chart your course. Draw your own course. Call it a map of your life.

Draw pictures of what you welcome to your side. Write descriptions. Immerse your thoughts in what you desire. Believe in desires at least as much as you believe in bad news.

Change your ideas. Have different ideas. Offer yourself treats every day. Look at the sun. Watch the clouds roll by. Immerse yourself in the life you want. Create it. From the silence of your love, create your life.

To some degree and much to your protest, you do. Life is not all cards that are dealt you. Even when you have been dealt a rough hand, it is up to you how you are to deal with it. Even when you have real trouble, you have choices to make. You can choose to elevate your life and the lives around you, or you can feel sorry for yourself and take the line of least resistance. Or you can stand tall and be strong in the glory in which I made you.

12 UNIVERSAL LAWS

The 12 Universal Laws
An extract from Milanovich and McCunes book "The Light Shall Set You Free"(1998).

1. The Law of Divine Oneness

The first out of the 12 universal Laws helps us to understand that we live in a world where everything is connected to everything else. Everything we do, say, think and believe affects others and the universe around us.

2. The Law of Vibration 

This Law states that everything in the Universe moves, vibrates, and travels in circular patterns. The same principles of vibration in the physical world apply to our thoughts, feelings, desires, and wills in the Etheric world. Each sound, thing, and even thought has its own vibrational frequency, unique unto itself. 

3. The Law of Action 

The Law of Action must be applied in order for us to manifest things on earth. Therefore, we must engage in actions that support our thoughts, dreams, emotions and words. 

4. The Law of Correspondence 

This Law states that the principles or laws of physics that explain the physical world - energy, Light, vibration, and motion - have their corresponding principles in the etheric or universe. "As above, so below" 

5. The Law of Cause and Effect 

This Universal Law states that nothing happens by chance or outside the Universal Laws. Every action has a reaction or consequence and we "reap what we have sown." 

6. The Law of Compensation 

This Law is the Law of Cause and Effect applied to blessings and abundance that are provided for us. The visible effects of our deeds are given to us in gifts, money, inheritances, friendships, and blessings. 

7. The Law of Attraction

This Law demonstrates how we create the things, events, and people that come into our lives. Our thoughts, feelings, words, and actions produce energies which, in turn, attract like energies. Negative energies attract negative energies and positive energies attract positive energies. 

8. The Law of Perpetual Transmutation of Energy 

This 8 out of the 12 universal Laws is a powerful one. It states that all persons have within them the power to change the conditions in their lives. Higher vibrations consume and transform lower ones; thus, each of us can change the energies in our lives by understanding the Universal Laws and applying the principles in such a way as to effect change. 

9. The Law of Relativity 

This Law states that each person will receive a series of problems (Tests of Initiation) for the purpose of strengthening the Light within. We must consider each of these tests to be a challenge and remain connected to our hearts when proceeding to solve the problems. This law also teaches us to compare our problems to others' problems and put everything into its proper perspective. No matter how bad we perceive our situation to be, there is always someone who is in a worse position. It is all relative. 

10. The Law of Polarity 

This Law states that everything is on a continuum and has an opposite. We can suppress and transform undesirable thoughts by concentrating on the opposite pole. It is the law of mental vibrations. 

11. The Law of Rhythm 

This Law states that everything vibrates and moves to certain rhythms. These rhythms establish seasons, cycles, stages of development, and patterns. Each cycle reflects the regularity of God's universe. Masters know how to rise above negative parts of a cycle by never getting too excited or allowing negative things to penetrate their consciousness. 

12. The Law of Gender 

This last out of the 12 universal Laws states that everything has its masculine (yang) and feminine (yin) principles, and that these are the basis for all creation. The spiritual Initiate must balance the masculine and feminine energies within herself or himself to become a Master and a true co-creator with God 

 

Life Is A Surprise - Heavenletter #4715

Life Is a Surprise

Heavenletter #4715                                                        October 22, 2013
God said: 

No one knows what tomorrow will bring. But who is it who says you have to know? What makes it better to know what is going to happen tomorrow than it is not to know? Why does certainty seem right and uncertainty doesn’t?

What is certain is: If you were born, you were meant to be born. And when you live on Earth, you were meant to live on Earth. And you are meant to learn and grow. There is not a minute really that you stay just the same. Growth is the name of the game.

It’s really true that you do become wiser.

If you could live your life over, would you make the same choices? Probably. Even when looking back and you regret some choices you made, you might make the same choices again that you made before and now rue. At that time and place, you were up for that choice. Whether wise or sorry in hindsight, it would seem that you followed a star not really knowing what you were doing. Most likely, you were in a kind of daze. You took a gamble, as in life you must, and it came out the way you wanted, or it didn’t. Sometimes it may seem to you that your life was rigged.

Anyway, you can’t turn back. This life is a one-time opportunity. Every day is a one-time opportunity. Besides, you can’t really trace the course of your life any more than you can predict it. Sure, one thing seems to lead to another, but does it? In Truth, there is no sequence, and there is no consequence. It certainly seems so, but, then again, what do you know? You mostly guess, and tomorrow you will guess again.

Life is a surprise. It is a surprise a mile a minute. Even when life seems to turn out the way you expected, it is a surprise. Life seems to have you twisted around its little finger, and it would seem you do life’s bidding.

No one knows how he or she is going to turn out, as if there is such a thing as turning out. No one knows how any another will turn out. Nobody knows.

Is there a conclusion to how people turn out, and in whose estimation? You see what you see, yet that doesn’t mean you know the half of it.

The surface is only the surface, and the surface may not reveal the depths. Whatever you think you may know a lot about, you may know little. In terms of the surface of life, there is little to know. Now, the depths, that’s another story. The depths are endless. There is no ending. The path continues to wind and unwind.

From the human point of view, life is perilous. Even so, there is no peril. You lead a sanctioned life. There is truly no end to life, so what can you be in danger of? Naturally, you think of many dangers, and those are your fears. All fears are unfounded. Your deepest fears are unfounded. There is no foundation for fear. Fears are a kind of temperature changes, that’s all. Be wary of your wariness.

Life is a shoe-in. You just have to meet up with it, and life will take you on your merry way. There are no close calls even unto death of the body. All that you fear is a surmise. It is a supposition. Even when you lose a bet, you don’t miss a strand of life.

Finally, I ask you: Why does winning seem better than not winning? What do you win when you win?

Relationships That Are Centered on Saving the Other Will Fail - Gratitude for The Other Will Succeed

You decide the value of everything in your life expression. You do so through your focused attention, and your gratitude. The word appreciate means to give thankful recognition, to increase or raise the value, to give favourable evaluation. It is a means of giving the universe your personalized feedback to even better define your unique life expression. Think of it as a sorting process. What you express appreciation for, you are saying you wish to keep and experience more of, what you ignore, you are simply withdrawing your energy from because it is not something you wish to experience more of.
Your gratitude and appreciation are what waters the beautiful flowers of your gardens, and brings more joy and beauty to your life.

Have you ever noticed how delightful your partnerships are when they first begin? They flow, they are accepting, you are filled with the wonder of the other person, and your heart swells with love for them. But, invariably, over time, the “bloom is off the rose” and before you know it, you start arguing and finding the other person’s faults. What happened? How could you go from finding nothing but perfection in the person to barely being able to stand being around them?

 The answer is simple, Dear Ones. You haven’t fallen out of love. You have fallen out of gratitude. If you put yourself on high alert for all the wonderful traits your beloved has and choose to concentrate on and express gratitude for those many aspects that made you fall in love in the first place, you will find yourself falling back in love with your partner and using energies that will help your relationship continue to bloom and grow.

 Some of you say, “Well, he/she doesn’t appreciate me! I’ll be thankful for them if they start to appreciate me.” If you are feeling that way you are missing the point. While it is certainly nice to feel other’s gratitude, and we do encourage you to share it with others because it feels good for everyone involved, it is a tool you use for universal feedback, not a gift you bestow upon others. It is your power tool to help energetically announce and create what you want more of. It is how you choose the energies you wish to live with and experience, and no one else can give that to you. It is from BEing grateful that you will draw to you the gratitude you seek.

 Like everything else, the shifting of energies must come from within in order to have the profound and lasting effect you seek. So celebrate the blessings that are all around you, Dear Ones. It is the easiest way to bring desired flow back into any area of your life.

Surrendering into the flow means committing to operating beyond resistance. Resistance is the cause of physical and emotional discomfort. Therefore, you can also consider surrender and flow to be vital tools for healing.

Freedom, the true freedom your soul craves, comes from embracing who you really are, from living your life according to what is best for you and your unique path, choosing activities that bring you joy, seeing yourself as already having everything you need, and surrounding yourself with people and energies that love, encourage, support and uplift you in all of those areas. By doing so you will continue to shine brightly in your truth, and encourage others to do the same, supporting the energies of acceptance, allowing, and divine self expression, which will only continue to further expand, enhance and beautify not only your life expressions, but your beloved planet, as well.

Dear Ones, it is your natural instinct to love. As a piece of God, love is your source, it is your true state of being. Many of you have been hurt by others and have decided to be guarded with your love, which really only amounts to denying yourself.

 Love! Love because it is your natural state. Love because it feels good to do so. If you have forgotten how to love, or how wonderful it feels to feel love, spend some time with babies, animal or human, and feel your heart open and expand. Take notice of when you are in that love space – you feel absolutely delightful – so present and alive! You feel whole and healthy in all ways.

 Many of you think you will experience the flush of falling in love for a short period of time and after that love becomes work. This is such a limited idea of what love is! Love is what allows you to express your beauty, your light, your essence and is what opens you to experience the entire universe loving you right back.

 So come back to love, Dear Ones, as an element that is just as important to you as the air you breathe, and surrender back into that universal stream of divine connection where you give love, receive love, feel love, BE love, all at the same time.

Many of you deny love because you were hurt by someone you loved. But Dear Ones, don’t you see that it was not love that hurt you? It was the absence of love that hurt you. And yet you deny love as if love were to blame, which only makes you more in line with the very thing that hurt you in the first place. Do you see? Do not give an old, out of alignment experience the power to make you forget your true essence or stop BEing who you really are. Your light, your beauty, your essence, your LOVE, is far too glorious, far too required, to withhold from the world.

Many of you are interested in finding new love relationships that are more in line with who you are energetically. Many of you know what didn’t work for you in the past but are not sure how to choose your next relationship. There are many factors that will indicate whether a relationship will be sustainable over a longer period of time.

 The most important is similar levels of integrity. This is the largest predicator of whether a relationship will last. If you have differing ideas of what is right or wrong, the relationship will eventually fail. Integrity is an indicator of the level of soul growth the person is operating by. If your partner has a far lesser level of integrity, it is a clear indicator that you are not operating from a place of soul resonance. These partnerships are frequently based on “saving” the other, and are doomed to fail.

 Energetic resonance is very important to relationships lasting. You do not have to have the same energetic vibration, but it does need to be harmonious.

 A commitment to growth. If one or both partners in a relationship become resistant to growth over a long period of time, the relationship will fail. Relationships are created to support growth and experience. Should the growth stop, so will the relationship. This does not mean that both need to be learning and growing at the same pace. Often one partner will grow and expand, then the other will. But what it does mean is there needs to be some form of individual growth for each within the relationship. If there is not, the relationship no longer serves a purpose and will break apart.

 The last aspect is gratitude. Truly appreciating and supporting your partner by having gratitude for them and their unique traits and essence is one of the surest ways to ensure your relationship lasts. Think of those wonderful love stories you hear from older humans who have been together for decades. The common thread is that they respected and appreciated their partners, on top of loving them. Gratitude is what gives your love relationships longevity.

 If you start to look at your potential partners through these new filters, Dear Ones, you will very quickly find yourselves with partnerships that will be built on firmer foundations than you have experienced in the past and that honour and celebrate you like never before.

Your Egos Are Like Teenagers Lacking Wisdom to Guide You

YOUR EGOS ARE LIKE TEENAGERS

All are One, and daily this truth seeps into the conscious awareness of more and more of humanity, as you all – well the vast majority of you – move closer to your awakening. It is a done deal, you are going to awaken, it is inevitable and nothing can prevent it, so focus on the inner peace and joy that you encounter when you go quietly inwards in relaxation, prayer, or meditation knowing that this is the divine Will for you all. Doing just that is extremely healing for you and for all with whom you interact. It is what you came on Earth to do, you can do it beautifully, and that is all that you need to do. Truly it is very simple. Focusing on your anxieties and fears is very counter-productive, although they do often seem extremely important as they demand an enormous amount of your attention; just continue practicing letting go of them except when you are dealing directly in the now moment with issues that cause them.

You were created in joy for joy, that is your natural state, and when you focus on what disturbs you or makes you unhappy you are effectively withdrawing from that state. As you are well aware worrying changes nothing, it just adds to your stress and unhappiness. Be loving, of yourselves and of others, whatever the situation and refrain from judgment. If an error has been made forgive it, correct it if possible, and then move back into your peaceful inner space where you allow the thoughts of worry, judgment, and fear that arise to flow past you like the weather, without engaging with them. It is a bit like going out in the rain, you dress appropriately, take an umbrella, and the rain ceases to be an issue.

Every day you are moving ever closer to the moment for which you have been praying and hoping, and your intent that it happen is bringing it towards you, and because you know that, it makes perfect sense to be joyful, cheerful, and upbeat. Remind yourselves, when you observe the pain and suffering of others in the outside world, that this will pass. No one is undergoing something that at a deeper level of their being they did not agree to undergo. If possible offer physical assistance or comfort to any in your vicinity who are in need, hold them in your hearts compassionately while lovingly intending for them, and for every other human apparently caught in painful or catastrophic situations, to pass quickly and easily through their suffering, and onwards towards their awakening.

Awakening, as every channeled message is telling you, is your purpose, and not yours alone, but the purpose of every human everywhere on Earth. I cannot stress strongly enough that fact and the divine truth of the Oneness of all that exists. The sense of separateness that you experience as humans is illusory, no matter how real it appears to you, and the more you involve yourselves daily in the mundane activities and thought processes that seem to be so essential for your earthly well-being the more difficult it is for you to access your quiet inner space where you are always connected to your Source. It is from there that you can get a sense of that Oneness, of your connectedness to one another and to your Source that will uplift and inspire you, because that is how you access the field of divine Love in which you are eternally enveloped, and by which you are embraced.

Taking time out daily to go within and welcome the divine embrace in which you are enfolded is essential for your health, both physical and spiritual, because doing so brings into your conscious awareness the knowledge that you are spiritual beings whose real nature is Love. And by opening your hearts to accept what is always being offered to you, you will feel that Love. When you make a point of keeping that knowledge consciously in your awareness as you go about your daily activities and chores it enables you to operate from your true nature in all situations, even when you are under attack, and to respond with love and compassion regardless of any provocations that you experience.

Yes, of course your egos will continue to look for and immediately sense any attacks or provocations, warranted or unwarranted, directed at you, and encourage you to react to them forcefully to establish your boundaries by defending yourselves against them – and they nearly always appear unwarranted, do they not? But when you are making contact regularly with your true nature through your periods of rest, relaxation, and meditation or prayer, you are constantly intensifying the power of Love that flows through you at all times, by removing any obstructions or restrictions to Its onward flow, increasing your awareness of It, and thus enabling you to respond to any attack or provocation with Love, despite the calls from your egos to go to war!

As humans your egos are always with you, but as you focus more intently and consciously on the Love that is your nature, that is your Life, you become increasingly aware that your egos are not very wise, that they lead you into situations that are not conducive to peace, and you then find it easier to ignore or bypass their “guidance,” and their demands for knee-jerk reactions. Your egos are like teenagers, always powerfully expressing their rights, their individuality, and demanding instant gratification and satisfaction, or else! That is rather a sweeping statement because obviously not all teenagers behave like that, in fact vast numbers do not, but it is a useful analogy to which most of you can relate, even the teenagers among you, and there are far more of those than you can imagine now that the New Age has arrived.

So once again the message is about Love, which is your eternal and divine nature, and how to engage with it by bringing It into your conscious awareness so that the engagement becomes constant instead of sporadic, uncertain, or fitful. The point of life is to be fully aware at all times of your true nature, and when you are then that is what you will display and operate from, instead of from the confused and fearful mini-selves that your egos made for you and want you to believe in and spend your time protecting.

It does seem, when in your limited human state of consciousness, that to operate from Love instead of from your egos is to lay yourselves open to untold abuse and betrayal. That you are making yourselves utterly vulnerable, defenseless, weak. But, as you will find, that is not the case! When you are vulnerable because you are engaging with and operating from and through Love, you are invincible! When you are attacked or betrayed it is your egos that are hurt, that suffer, not the real You, and as your hearts open in Love the true You becomes ever more present, the ego’s importance and influence declines, and what used to hurt or upset you no longer does, or only does so far less forcefully.

You are not your egos, you never have been, and you never will be. They are like auto-pilots, and their purpose is to bring your attention to issues that need physical resolution in the moment – the stove is hot, don’t touch it! This is your turning! The traffic lights are red! – things that can cause your own or someone else’s body harm, and that is all. But what has happened is that because of their efficiency at those tasks you have granted them autonomy over you, you have given your power to them, and they have neither the intelligence nor the wisdom to use it properly.

When you reclaim your power, by consciously taking it back from your egos and their knee-jerk responses, and then intend to live lovingly in every moment you will find peace and contentment such as you have never before experienced in your human lives. You can only be hurt or offended if you choose to be. The true You would never make that choice, and no more does God, because there is only eternal unconditional Love and acceptance, anything else is unreal. Attack and provocation are of the illusion, not of Reality, and it is in the illusion, in the pain, suffering, confusion, and betrayal that are almost constant there that the ego has its existence, and so it defends it viciously. Do not be deceived by this insane and almost imperceptible part of yourselves that appears totally real – and in others often seems large, powerful, and threatening to you – and which lives in constant fear while trying to convince you that its fears are real, even overwhelmingly real.

As you move more and more firmly, positively, and, of course, consciously into acceptance of the knowledge that you are pure Love and nothing else, that small terrified part of you, your ego, will be lovingly integrated and subsumed within You, and all fear will dissolve as You once more come to know Yourselves as One with each other and with God.

Your loving brother, Jesus.

Discipline - A Teacher of Accountability, Consideration, Freedom, Liberation, and Positive Energy

DISCIPLINE AS AN ESSENTIAL SKILL

Discipline is an important ingredient to your spiritual development and personal growth. Even though there are many among you that are aware of this concept, fewer understand its purpose and that it is required to be a part of your life every day, not just when you feel like it if you want to succeed and progress. If you look closely at those that are most successful, you will see behind their story that discipline and focus was an important asset to their journey, and discipline dear ones is vital to all that you set out to do and to accomplish.

In order to lead others, the leader, teacher, instructor, etc., must be able to demonstrate great restraint, tolerance and patience – this takes daily practice of working with your inner most feelings, learning to let go of what is not really important and focusing on what is that will lead to the further development of your strength. Anyone who has dieted, tried to end a debilitating habit, began a new project or task understands how easy it is to be distracted and that it takes great strength to remain firm and on target. It does get easier with practice and with practice your confidence also rises which helps to promote what it is you are trying to achieve that is positive and good.

You can have all the movement you want dear ones, but unless you bring in discipline to hone your skill, what you demonstrate will be erratic; there will be no smoothness or direction. Take a look at the most influential athletes, you will learn they follow certain rules and regulations and you will also see they train not only their physical bodies, but work on their self from the inside by making healthy choices because they have a goal in their mind and their focus is sharp. This does not mean mistakes cannot happen to those that are firmly disciplined, it just means when errors occur, they are already in-tune to what is occurring and know quickly how to proceed to make the appropriate corrections that will bring about better results next time.

It is well understood dear ones that when you enable discipline as one of the tools to your success you are also bringing in stability and a firmer foundation to your whole life. Discipline has a way to teach and instruct you to become more responsible for the choices you make and to respect what you have chosen without ridicule or harsh judgements. Understand that if there was absolutely no discipline the world would be in even deeper chaos than what is going on now – every single person would do what they wanted, without being accountable for any harm possibly being done; it would a world devoid of compassion, respect and love. Fortunately when you add discipline you are showing consideration, you are promoting good and God-Loving behaviour that makes life a lot more enjoyable for you and those closest to you.

When you consciously demonstrate discipline and self-restraint you are illustrating to those around you that you have control of your Self because you comprehend that without control of your mental and emotional faculties that disaster can result and we understand you are aiming for favourable outcomes from any and all situations you are currently working through. Mental toughness may seem difficult dear ones, but truly it isn’t. Becoming more disciplined does require a certain amount of sacrifice, but the rewards are always worth the effort. If you only put in partial energy into a task, then your outcome will be incomplete – less than what you truly wanted to achieve. When you commit with discipline, and you apply this skill in each step, your outcome will be that much greater. Focus is a key player dear ones in determining a successful outcome. Learning to stay on track and not to deviate from your goal takes great strength and determination, but nothing is every impossible when you wish to achieve something enough.

Becoming more disciplined is not an entrapment to hinder your growth, it’s actually freedom from lethargy and slothfulness, it also brings liberation from astronomical demands and expectations of others; becoming more disciplined will help to dissolve fear and bring you into understanding that your path will lead you to new and unexplored areas for your discovery pleasure and it’s okay to step forward gleaning all you can in order to attain more knowledge and apply this information as wisdom once you have absorbed it through daily application and understanding.

Under the positive influence of self-discipline and restraint you will be able to come home to your own individuality and discover your strength within the goals you have set out for yourself to accomplish. You are no longer a slave to something; you become master of that particular skill. Learning how to see your journey with a positive mind-set that is disciplined will provide you with incredible inside information of your Self. Only you can bring this knowledge to the surface, and we are confident that with patience, tolerance and time you will come to know every part of yourself with the understanding every day will bring new and exciting possibilities for you to learn and grow from.

There are many among you that don’t follow the understanding of discipline being a form of freedom that is because for some folks, discipline is merely a word that means they must work harder without freedom. Have you ever tried to learn a new language, possibly from having to move from your birth country? The discipline required to learn the verbs, nouns, how to make sentences and to converse requires a great amount of hard work, but in the end the person learning the new language can communicate effectively and through the ability to communicate new knowledge is able to be gained and life continues to bring new joy, love and consideration along the way. Sometimes dear ones, hard work doesn’t bring rewards at the end of the day, sometimes your efforts accumulate and over time they create something big and fantastic. Be steadfast in your efforts, focus on what you wish to achieve with all your heart and soul and you will succeed. Challenges will always present themselves and learning how to deal with them effectively and efficiently will help speed up the process and continue the flow of positive energy.

Comprehend dear ones that working more disciplined and restrained your actions are in accordance to what you are thinking rather than what you are feeling. When you are on the path of bringing change into your life through dieting, overcoming a unhealthy habit or something of a similar nature you may be tempted to want what you know is not good for your body, when you make an alternative decision that is healthy and equally satisfying you are staying true to your goal and not promoting the feeling of guilt that often comes after indulging in a temptation that you were trying to avoid.

Understandably dear ones, your modern world is filled to the brim with temptations even if you are not dieting or trying to end an unhealthy habit. Bringing in change always comes with obstacles and challenges and for each person they will be different. We know it can be difficult to stay on track and to maintain your focus but think ahead dear ones and envision how it will feel when you are done – imagine your success and how good it will feel that you stuck with it until the very end. We know instant gratification leads to instant pleasure but then it flees and is gone, leaving you with wanting more soon after. Discipline is crucial to your journey as an essential skill as it provides you with different options depending on the choices you are about to make that will bring you to your goal. When you have everything under control and are moving forward with every effort to accomplish what you set out to reach, you have also given yourself complete authority to take on any challenge and overcome it because you are confident and know where you are going with or without the hindering ability that some challenges come with.

It is understood dear ones that discipline is a skill that can be strengthened at any time when you put your mind to it. If you are going to make a promise to yourself or to another dear soul, make sure you come through and keep your promise. Learn to align your actions with your thoughts and exercise your mind and body into better shape. When seen objectively and with a positive mind-set, you will be able to see even while practicing discipline and self-restraint life can still be enjoyable. It’s important to find a healthy balance between your work and leisure.

Becoming more balanced can be a struggle for some dear souls, but with daily work and effort, little by little this skill can and will become improved because your goals and dreams depend on you growing a strong will and unwavering determination. Regardless how you may feel some days, discipline reminds you that perseverance brings you to what is good for you and to the outcome you have been looking forward to.

Learn to understand the enemies of discipline and how to maneuver around them. Certain pleasures and desires can be powerful and can easily derail you from your goal. When you are hit with difficult situations, or doubt has crept in, this is when the outcome to your goal becomes harder to see and you need to focus a little harder to get through the doubt that has clouded your vision. You will find a focal point that will help to prevent you from being too distracted by the many temptations that have the potential of bringing your goal to a halt or to becoming incomplete. The focal point you choose that will help you to stay strong will help you remember what it is you are working so hard to accomplish; it could be your child, your partner, maybe a promotion or a move to a new neighbourhood. We know within you, the Will that has always been there can be made stronger. Having stronger discipline and more restraint will improve your life and give your journey an enormous advantage – remember discipline is the connection to your goals becoming accomplished.
