The Clear and Simple Way

June Message
In
our last message, we talked about creating a sacred sanctuary as a way
to connect with your inner sanctuary. When we live from and connected
to our inner sanctuary, we stop living in separation. We begin to
experience the entire world as our sanctuary.
We build a relationship of trust with our self in the same way we build trust with other people - by being consistent and honest with ourselves and honoring the commitments that we make to our own self!
The first step to positive change is awareness. So make a commitment to become aware of the unconscious habits, attitudes, and addictions that weigh you down, wear you down. If you are sincere and ask God to help you, these will begin to be revealed to you, as you are ready to receive them.
The second step is to bring small changes into your life. Sit still with yourself and inquire within - What is one small step I can take today?
Please notice that we are asking you take one small step at a time! You cannot reach the top of the mountain with one gigantic leap. And you cannot reach it at all if you are not adequately prepared with food, water, equipment, and a lot of other things.
Lazy people often do not appear lazy at all. They can look very busy, doing one haphazard thing after another, but never really getting anywhere simply because they are too lazy to investigate what their first step must be and take it. People may also avoid that first small step because they are caught in grandiosity, low self-esteem (the other side of grandiosity), afraid of success or failure, or just afraid. There are many reasons why people get lost in busy-ness or even lost in taking no action at all.
Today the angels lovingly suggest that you begin building a better relationship with yourself by keeping your commitments to yourself. Whatever journey you are on, whatever vision you want to achieve, requires an intelligent appraisal of what you need to do in order to get there.
When you are actively involved in taking small steps, you are living in the present while connected to the future. You come out of vagueness, laziness, fear, and isolation. You begin to Be Your Vision! - living enthusiastically and joyfully in the NOW, while taking the necessary steps toward the realization of your visions.
No one can do this for you. Only you, with the help of your Higher Power, can accomplish the tasks you set for yourself. The climb to the top of the mountain really is that clear. And simple. The clear and simple way.
