A Change of Direction
 

There comes a time in the life of each Human Being when a decision has to be made, do I go on as I am, or is it time for a change.

Many times it seems that a change is the last thing that you want or need and yet some how it seems to be thrust upon you.

Will it be for the good, better or will things become worse.

Worse than WHAT!

Your lives should be lived to the full. You are meant to experience life, all of it. It's good and bad, its ups and downs, and yes its happiness and sadness, for without one how could you appreciate the other.

Let me say this to you, that until you as an individual wish to change your life then there is only one person who can make it happen and THAT IS YOU. Be true to your own needs, yes care about others, but to thine self be true. Can you really say, "I am Happy and Content with my Life, with Myself and my way of life"

If your answer is YES, this is wonderful for you are being true to yourself and are reaping the rewards.

If the answer is NO, and you would like to change yourself then what is stopping you?

One thing and one thing only FEAR.

You ALL can find many different excuses for not being able to change, but I tell you this, FEAR is what grips you and HOLDS YOU to your unhappy existence.

We ask you to have faith in yourself, to have the belief that you know what's right for you and to find the courage to change all you feel you must. The hardest part for mortals is to accept and admit that they do wish to change…Why is this!!!

Are you worried about what family and friends might think, there are a million and one reason's you give yourself to enable you to do nothing and stay safe and secure in your life, your existence and sometimes your own and others misery and unhappiness.

Have the courage and faith to put your trust in the supreme ONENESS and this really means in YOURSELF for you are BOTH AS ONE.

There will come a time when many shall feel and know that changes are coming, it is a NEW AGE for all, reach out and grasp each new day as a NEW BEGINNING and slowly you shall see the difference in yourself, your friends and your surroundings. It won't happen over night and yet you shall feel much happier within.

If you know you are always critical, pessimistic, and negative in actions and words, then try to be exactly the OPPOSITE every other day for a week, and see and feel the difference inside you.

Bring to mind someone whom you admire or respect, and tell yourself what it is you feel they have got and you haven't (we do not speak of money or wealth), try to emulate what you feel but in your own personal way. Does it make a difference? Try It.

You have to now look at your self in a critical and honest way looking at who and what you are, --- CAN YOU DO THIS? --- Look inside yourself and choose one area you would like to change…THEN FOR ONE WEEK CHANGE ONE THING YOU DON'T LIKE ABOUT YOURSELF.

Laughter is the most wonderful gift God gave to Humans, use it more often. Laugh at your self. You all make mistakes, you wouldn't be human if you didn't. Laugh and show others you can see no shame in making mistakes, this is how you learn…BY YOUR MISTAKES.

Look for the happiness in your own life, be yourself, love yourself, forgive yourself, and be at peace, for all these things are yours by right. Every single thing on the world asks, needs, and will be given love… all you have to do is ASK FOR IT.

In some cases physical, in others tenderness, thoughtfulness, caring, beauty and a sincere acceptance that even what you may feel or see as ugly has the right to be loved for the only ugliness is WITHIN YOUR OWN MIND AND…NOT GODS or the ONENESS OF SPIRIT.

Stop and think what right do I have to be unkind, or insulting to others? If you stop this kind of actions and thoughts then so might others, and think of what changes this could bring to our world if love was shown by all to all. The next time you are hurt by the words, deeds, actions or thoughtlessness of others try to change your feelings and emotions around.

If you are abused verbally, feel sorry for the person that they so little love in their lives or themselves that this is the way they show their fear. If you are threatened have no fear for this is what they thrive on. Turn the other cheek could just as easily be said and done by feeling other emotions.

ANGER…………CALM/CONTROL

Try to dispel any anger when it arises within you for it is a most destructive force unless it is expelled or muted.

We do not expect you to believe all that has been said is easy, it isn't, but it is possible if you do it bit by bit. Think in hours, days, and then weeks and by the time you reached this stage you have almost begun your change of direction.

Begin with things you feel comfortable with and can accomplish easily, your hair, make-up, clothes, places you visit, work, and travel, little things grow into big changes.
Please think yourself worthy and give yourself a

CHANGE OF DIRECTION… GOD BLESS.
