The message is in the moment ...

I have written to you before about the importance of living in the moment - you cannot change the past, you can only digest it, learn from it and move one - it is insane to worry about the future, unless there is a positive action that you can do today to assist the future, then do not waste time with worry.

When you can be aware of the moment the Angels and the Universe are able to bring you messages of guidance that can help you heal - creating a positive future - this is not wasted time. This is taking guided action, leaving you with plenty of time, that you did not realise you had to play!

These messages do not necessarily have to be received during meditation they can be in the form of synchronicity, a moment of inspiration, a book that falls open to a page written just for you, a phone call from a friend and so on....

If you are not in this moment, these messages will pass you by ... and so will life.

Yesterday I wrote about allowing others to push your buttons. I then sat down to have a well deserved cup of tea with a book I have just ordered, it naturally fell open to this page, bringing a smile. I would like to share it with you ...

As long as you feel you have behaviours you cannot change,
you will be in a prison whenever anyone pushes one of your "buttons".
Your options will diminish. If you are angry, jealous or resentful enough, you will have no options at all. Until you change the part of your personality that reacts when it is frightened with anger, jealousy, or resentment you will remain in prison.

The next time you feel an impulse to engage in behaviour you think you cannot change, imagine that you are about to put yourself in a jail. If instead you choose to think, speak or act differently, imagine you are walking away from jail.

Begin to observe when you put yourself in jail and when you choose to set yourself free.

This is taken from a book called the Self - empowerment Journal by Gary Zukav and Linda Francis. It might just be well worth a read *smile*.
