For all those who are floundering, financially, in business, personally.  Get on your knees and ask God for Guidance.  Ask to be shown the next right thing for you to do.  Ask that your business (or finances or relationship) be healed if it is for the Highest Good.  Ask to help quiet your mind so you can hear the Messages.  Ask for Grace, Love and Forgiveness for all your transgressions.  It is a Beginning to a new way of life where all shall prosper and grow.

Meditate daily, alone or with loved ones.  Meditation is powerful.  It helps connect one to higher levels of Consciousness.  It is another tool for our use on our journey of Enlightenment.

There is no short cut to greatness.  It can take years and lifetimes.  It can take Hard Work, Ethics and Reform.  But greatness is not just the greatness of Napoleon or Michelangelo.  Greatness comes in all forms.  It can be a great teacher, influencing future generations for years to come, it can be a great mother, instilling a firm foundation in her offspring, a fireman or police officer who is above the take.  One never knows whom one is influencing, when one is not corrupt.  There are many eyes that watch us, many who size us up, but money is not the only measure of success, seen in a child’s eyes of love.

But greatness also requires excellence, to do the best one can, to keep growing and learning, new things, as well as about oneself.  For even the best can stagnate, when they refuse to grow.  For Life is about growth and learning, otherwise we wither and die, years before our time. 

The Ten Commandments.  How many more laws would we need if we obeyed these?  Don’t steal — embezzling, forgery, identity theft, scams of all kinds would be eliminated.  Don’t covet — which leads to jealousy, theft, adultery and sometimes murder.  Honor God — which leads to courtesy and respect for others, you get the idea.  It’s time to simplify, back to the basics.      

In the Moment is where the Past, Present, and Future collide.  The Past must be dealt with and healed, for all our experiences help mold who we are.  The Present is pre-sent from our past mistakes — or accolades — and is the fulcrum to create the Future.  For it is in the present Moment that choices are made, actions are taken or delayed, decisions, wise or foolish.  And all will have an outcome, coalesced at some distant time — perhaps tomorrow or next week, perhaps future generations, for nothing is lost and everything gained from Wisdom learned and applied.

It had to get bad enough, economically, politically and socially, for us to pay attention and to want to change, to do things differently.  It had to get bad enough environmentally so that people from all walks of life knew that something had to be done and were motivated to do it.  Otherwise, we will continue our descent into chaos and destruction, the Hell we have created.  It has begun.  It is the best of times, it is the worst of times.  Always has it been so. 

The Past will never be washed away until we are debt-free, individually and as a nation.  Until then, the Past will be a chain around our feet, dragging down our economy and our recovery.  Right now our debt may seem insurmountable, but that is an illusion.  Time, patience, and a Plan will work miracles when we learn to do things differently, and balancing the Budget is the first step. 

Our beliefs about God are not unbiased.  They are based on the beliefs of our parents, our society and culture, our churches and its dogma.  God is All Things to all people.  And that is why there have been Holy wars throughout the Ages.  God is filtered — and distorted — by our human beliefs, and none are immune from mistakes in interpretation.  The Bible is our closest Truth about what God wants us to do.  And God wants us to love each other, unconditionally, no matter what. 

At our core we are Divine Beings of Light.  That is why wealth and material goods alone will never satisfy us.  That is why people may accumulate more and more “stuff” and still want more, because it is vacuous, never satisfying the void within that is unrecognized, unacknowledged, unappreciated.  Love, Light, Happiness and Joy are attributes that can only be temporarily gained in the material world, but true Joy is Eternal and Everlasting when one connects with their Divine Essence, their union with God and All That’s Holy.  Then will the Peace of God be Everlasting.  Then will there be true Joy and Contentment.  It is within that the soul is found.  Nothing about you is sacred.  All is within.
