RESPECT IS FUNDAMENTAL

Without respect no life form could survive. The sun would not shine upon the fields,if the fields did not appreciate it. The rain would not fall upon the earth,if the earth did not welcome it. Without respect the galaxies and the entire universe would not hold together. No society could exist without respect. No collaboration,no lasting relationships. Respect is fundamental to existence.

***Never give your power away to anyone or anything

Most people in this world feel powerless. They give their power away to other people, outside situations, their emotions, physical body, subconscious mind, inner child, lower self desires, dreams, the weather, and so forth. Never give your power away! Not even to God and the Ascended Masters! They don’t want your power, they want you to own your power in service of God and unconditional love. They want you to own it so you can become a master in your life and then dedicate your life to empower others as well!

It isn’t something you get over or suddenly get about this stage of life. Tears still fall. Good news, a freedom and joy do show up.

Dealing with Anger & Frustration

In your everyday life, you may get impatient with the person on the highway in front of you, the checkout attendant at the grocery store and the car in front of you who ordered the ultra-supreme wash that takes twenty minutes. Watching the clock in the mid-afternoon, wishing it was five o’clock and time to go home. The minds tell you that you would be happier somewhere else, you are going to be late or, worse yet, someone is going to be mad that you kept them waiting. You forget that there is nothing you can do to escape the situation that is causing the delay.

On one hand, one can pay attention to their own needs and do what they can to fulfilling them, and on the other hand, they can focus on others people’s needs and do what they can to fulfil them. If their life is a reflection of the former, it is likely to be far more fulfilling than if their life was a reflection of the latter. However, just because one focuses on their own needs, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they won’t be there for others.
