MUSE-INGS: You Choose!

Seems this message keeps popping up, doesn’t it?  ‘You are always at choice in your life.’

I used to argue with the Universe about this one.  ‘But what about [fill in the blank] where I don’t feel I had any choice?’  The answer always seemed to have been, ‘You could have chosen to do nothing. You felt that you had to make a choice because you didn’t like the consequences of not choosing or of choosing other options.’  That was correct.

So how in your life today are you making a choice that you don’t realize is a choice?  Look first at those things that you feel are ‘givens’ in your life, the things that feel as if they can never be different.  So often these are the places where we must begin to reclaim our power by observing the ways in which we take away our own ability to choose by refusing to see that we have an ability to make a choice.

Often the most powerful moments in a coaching session come when the client begins to see that they actually have a choice in a situation in which they were feeling trapped, believing that there was no choice other than the one they had made.  Opening up to the possibility that you have chosen something, that decisions you have made along the way have brought you to this moment, does not have to feel like a criticism or a judgment – it is really just an observation.  And it is an empowering observation.

Are you in a job that is not satisfying?  Didn’t you make the choice to accept that job?

Are you in a marriage that is not fulfilling?  Didn’t you choose to marry that person?

The list goes on, and what matters is not that you beat yourself up for making that choice, but that you see there are choices now that you can make to change things.  If you believe that you cannot leave your marriage, then you must realize that there are reasons that you are choosing to stay but that you CAN leave, you just choose not to [perhaps for some very good reasons, but you still have a choice].  Do you feel that you cannot leave your job because there are no jobs out there?  You CAN leave your job but you might like the paycheck more than the uncertainty of finding another job.

Owning your power to choose can make a huge difference in living a conscious life.  When you view your life as filled with choice, then you become empowered to grow, to move forward, to reach for your dreams.  If you continue to view yourself as the victim then you are stopped dead in the water, unable to muster the energy or the power to direct your path forward toward your dreams.

Which way do you choose to live?  Choose to be a victim and stay stuck or choose to see yourself as empowered to make choices and move in the direction of your dreams.  It really is up to you.

I remember a time when I was just old enough for my parents to leave me at home alone.  The family was going to visit grandparents and I wanted to stay home alone.  My parents allowed me to make that choice.  But as soon as they pulled away from the curb, I wished I had gone with them.  I think I was exercising the right to choose without thinking about what the consequences of that choice might be.  I was suddenly lonely.  But I had made my choice.  And I made a different choice the next time based on what I learned, the feedback I received after that first choice.

This is the cycle that is empowering.  Make a choice. Notice the results of that choice.  Analyze the feedback and decide to continue making that choice or to make a new choice.

You can change your life but only when you realize that you are able to make choices.

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Learn to Discern and Choose!

Dear Ones,

There are people around you who are misleading you about the way that the Universe operates and they are doing this in subtle ways that may not be easily discernible by you.  We wish to educate you with this message.

When you are told that you can’t have something, you are really being told ‘We (whoever that is) don’t want you to have this.’  This is not about politics or governments, but about people who believe they have the right to control another person’s life and decisions.

You are a Child of the Universe and, as such, your only contract is with the Universe, or Source, or God/Goddess.  Other people cannot deny you that which you desire because they are not the ones with whom you have an agreement about your life.  You are the one who makes the choices about how you will live your life.  You are, in every moment, able to make choices.

We know that there are many of you encountering these words who are already thinking about those situations in which you feel you have no control, but we would tell you to look for the aspects of those situations where you have the ability to make decisions.  Understand that you have made decisions in the past that have led up to this present situation.  This is not a criticism or a judgment.  It is a statement of fact.

If you don’t like your job, then remember that you agreed to take that position.  Even if you feel that you had no choice because it was the only opportunity at that time, you still had the option of taking no job, although that option might have brought with it some unpleasant consequences.  You will never feel empowered in your life until you see that you always have the power to make a choice.

When others try to control you by keeping you fearful of something, whether real or imagined or described as dangerous when it is not, then they are trying to steal your power of choice away from you.  When someone tells you that you can’t get a job making over $100,000 per year or that you can’t drive a luxury car or you can’t meet a partner who is wonderful or you can’t sell your house or retire or travel, then you must understand that they are merely demonstrating their own limiting beliefs.  You do not need to agree with them.

On one day, the economic news is disheartening, on the next it is encouraging.  The statistics about something are disturbing one day, hopeful the next.  There is nothing being told to the population that has all the truth within it.  Every report is slanted, sometimes by the omission of other information that is available, and sometimes on the ignorance or lack of understanding of the reporter.  Sometimes the report has been deliberately manipulated.

None of this matters, though, because you are responsible for making the choices in your life.  You must sort through information to decide what resonates with you.  The tool that helps you to do this is to learn to connect with your Inner Guidance to discover what is accurate in your world in this moment for you,

Go within, for the answers to your question reside there.  Make your choices after you have consulted your Inner Guidance.  Explore ideas within yourself, or with a guide who can help you determine what you feel, believe and need.

Run away from those who would try to force their will on you, or who purport to have all the answers for you so that you don’t have to think for yourself.  You are always at choice in your life. Sometimes it is best for you to ignore what you are being told from the outside and listen to the voice on the inside.  And if the inner voice seems to be judging or criticizing or demeaning, then get some help in clearing that voice so that you can connect with your true inner wisdom.

You’ll feel much more empowered when you are living your life from this place of connection!

And so it is.

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “Choosing to Pay the Bills? “

Dear Ones,

We are aware that many people spend much of their time worrying about money. Or should we say, the lack of money. We wish you to change your thoughts.

Money is not abundance or prosperity. Is it REALLY money that you lack or is it a feeling of freedom, abundance, prosperity? What is it you are really feeling when you focus on money or the lack of money?

You can take something whose only value is created when two parties agree on the value and make that thing the essence of your thoughts and, thus, your Life. OR you can change your thinking, control your thoughts, and focus on abundance, prosperity and freedom.

For many of you, you have equated money with these qualities of Life. That is a false equivalent. Would you not feel freer without a mortgage to pay? Would you not feel more prosperous if you felt yourself making choices from a place of empowerment rather than from a place of lack (“I could do that but I choose something else” rather than “I can’t afford that”)? And wouldn’t you feel more abundant in your Life if you appreciated and cared for what is in your Life especially if you have only those things in your Life that you love instead of focusing on what you don’t have or dealing with /feeling burdened by the things in your Life that you don’t love?

You do have the power of choice when it comes to your thoughts. Even those thoughts that arise unbidden in your consciousness can be attached to or let go of – it’s your choice. Where you focus your attention is also your choice. The Law of Attraction states that you attract into your Life that which you magnetize with the energy of your thoughts. What have you been thinking about today?

Now if you are saying that your Life is a struggle to pay the bills then we would tell you to take heart and heed these words today. You are choosing to struggle. Let that go. You are choosing to have those bills in your Life today, perhaps because of decisions made when you did not have the consciousness and awareness that you have today. That is okay. Every day contains new lessons for you to learn and today is no exception to that.

Think differently about the bills you have to pay. Move into gratitude that you have always been making the right choices to learn the lessons of your Life. Rejoice in the empowered feeling of continuing to make choices. Even if your choice is about which bill to pay and which bill to delay, make a choice. You focus on what you don’t want [a consequence] and you energize that. Focus on feeling empowered instead of victimized and you will attract greater empowerment.

There is a difference between bringing your focus fully into the present moment and focusing on ‘what is’ instead of what you desire. There are two aspects to this that it is important for you to consider.

The first is that you must pull all your energy into this present moment because this is your Life. All you have is this moment.

But when you are in this moment thinking about what you don’t have, you steal energy from this moment, your magnetizing/attracting energy, and you give it away to the lack of what you desire.

Think instead of how it will feel when you bring what you desire into this present moment. Energize and ramp up that feeling. Add gratitude to that emotional experience. Smile – with your facial muscles and with your heart.

This is how you attract that which you desire.

When you focus on lack or on the difference between what is and what you desire you make yourself unhappy. When you live in acceptance of what is and an appreciation that you always have the power to change your thoughts – about what is and about what you desire – then you can live an abundant, prosperous, empowered Life in freedom.

We realize that this is a complicated issue but we invite you to start today practicing these techniques. Energize abundance, prosperity and freedom by thinking thoughts and feeling feelings of abundance, prosperity and freedom.

And so it is.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “What Needs to be Restructured in Your Life?”

Dear Ones,

It is time for each of you to decide what it is that you are going to do to assist Mother Earth in the coming transformations that she must undergo. Are you tuned into and aware of the shifts that are happening on Planet Earth at this time?

Many have asked about the energies of 2012, sometimes with fear and trepidation about what is coming. We would tell you that you have nothing to fear. The shifts that are about to happen have already begun in three-dimensional reality. People are starting to feel the shifts even if they don’t know how to talk about them or can’t quite describe what they are feeling. Many people are reacting to the shifts as if they are afraid of what is happening but what they are afraid of is change.

For some the changes coming will be changes in the amount of power they are able to exert over others. These changes require the toppling of some empires that have been built upon the backs of those who toil to support the structure but who are not able to be recompensed at a level commensurate with their contribution. Some structures that have endured for a long time will no longer be able to function as they have because there is more Light entering the world and they operate in darkness.

You will see throughout the times that people and organizations and, indeed, even cities, towns and government structures, will shift in big ways. Some will topple and some will morph into new forms. The cities that are clinging to the ways of darkness will no longer be able to operate. The government structures that do not support all of the people, especially those who have the least power, will become reversed as all people will be finding ’empowerment’ that comes from within, instead of giving over their power to someone external to them.

So what does this mean to you, Dear Ones? You must be the ones who find that your source of empowerment is the Light Within. Get in touch with your Soul’s purpose and live it – today! Ask yourself how your Life reflects the reason you incarnated on Planet Earth in these times.

Many of you are fretting about finances or jobs or relationships, but are you BEING in the fullness of your humanity? Some of you pay attention to the news and are disheartened or disturbed, but the news is the reporting of events with a commentary to try to get you to think a certain way about those events. This is not about YOU.

What is important to you? Have you done a values assessment lately? Do you know what your highest values are and are you prepared to live those? Or are you succumbing to worry about that which is not the most important part of your Life and allowing the important things to diminish in your attention?

Take some time to list the important values in your Life and then look at your schedule to see if you are devoting a proportional amount of time to those high values. Shifting your thinking about this will help you to understand that you are not a victim of events in the news. You are a person of the Light. Shine that Light in your Life on what really matters. The rest will sort itself out according to your personal value structure.

While other entities topple or restructure, the only one over which you have total control is your own Life. Make the choices that support your purpose. Listen to your inner guidance. And if some area of your Life is not what you desire, then make the changes that you can make, firstly in your thinking about where your empowerment is sourced and then in whatever external circumstances that you can change.

This is YOUR Life. Live it in the Light and be the shining Light that radiates from within you!

And So It Is!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “What’s Going into Your Unconscious Database?”

Dear Ones,

Be careful of the books you read, the movies you watch, the games you play. What ideas and images are you storing inside yourself?

For what you input into your consciousness is stored away and later used by your Unconscious Mind in the decision-making process. Everything that you have input is at work in your life, whether you are conscious of it or not, unless you have done some work to clear thoughts and beliefs from your memory and your Unconscious Mind.

Do you read material that makes you feel good – about yourself, your accomplishments, your life? Do you escape into a fantasy world to relax? With whom do you identify in the books, movies and television shows that you absorb?

What kind of music do you listen to? Is this uplifting to you or does the vibration or the lyrics drag you down? What kind of art or pictures do you look at? What form of entertainment do you enjoy?

Our words are not to make you feel guilty, judged or upset. They are merely to make you conscious that every choice that you make has an effect on your vibrational level. When you are conscious about your choices then you can consistently make the choices that raise your vibrational frequency to the highest level of your inner spirit.

Too often we see that human beings are making their lives like a robotic imitation of Life. They go through the motions of living but allow others to make decisions for them or even refuse to see that the possibility of choice exists in their life at all.

Do you know people who go through life as if there is never any choice for them, in anything? Are you one of these victims?

Dear Ones, you are always at choice in your life. Just because one choice might be more painful or disturbing or upsetting that another does not mean that you have no choice. For example, are you in a relationship that is uncomfortable or even painful for you and yet you stay? Are you working in a job that is unfulfilling and yet you stay?

You might think that you have no choice but is this really true? You could leave your relationship but there might be ramifications – financial, emotional, etc. You could leave your job but you might not have the money to pay your rent.

You choose what you believe. You choose what to think about. You choose how to spend your time each day. You choose who you spend your time on and with. You are constantly making choices in your life.

If you put violence into your mind through reading or TV or movies, then violence becomes an option for you when choosing what to do in your life. When you input meanness or anger or hatred or intolerance into your mind, then those become options for you to choose. If you allow others to put beliefs or thoughts into your mind then these become options for you.

Become conscious that you are constantly making choices and become aware of what you are putting into the database from which you make your selections.

You must periodically clear out this database of input that you do not want to be there. Clear beliefs that come from someone else. Clear out the lower vibration options that do not serve you now. Do the work.

To live a Conscious Life you must be aware of the choices you are making and the source of the possibilities you consider. Awareness leads you into a clearer field of all possibilities!

And So It Is!

MUSE-INGS: Choose to Sail with the Wind!

There really does seem to be a big shift coming. Can’t you feel it in the air? Or maybe I should say in the ground?

Certainly the weather shifts bring us to the question of “What’s going on?” We just returned home from a trip across country [Los Angeles, Annapolis, Maryland and New York City] and while visiting friends and family we heard stories about tornadoes in Maryland and the damage they have done. Our daughter and her family have been awakened at night twice by the emergency radio warning them to go to the basement with the kids because there was a tornado nearby. Scary!

And I have lived most of my life in that area where I can remember a few hurricanes over the decades coming up the Chesapeake Bay but tornadoes were something that happened to the middle of the country, not Maryland! My husband grew up in Wisconsin where there were frequent tornadoes but they didn’t happen in the middle of the night, where they are now occurring and are more deadly for those who are not forewarned.

But there are subtler levels of change on the planet that have an even more profound effect on us and on our lives. The energy shifts that are occurring are inviting us to grow into our ‘biggest selves.’ How are you growing today? What actions are you taking that propel you forward in your personal growth? This is the most important work we can do on Planet Earth as this time – our inner work, our own personal growth work.

We might be allowing economic news to have us focus on financial issues like making more money, finding a new job, selling our house [which we are doing, by the way, if you want to move to Colorado Springs!]. We might even be listening to disturbing news and finding ourselves moving in a downward spiral as we allow that news to shift our thoughts to the negative instead of positive thoughts of growth.

How are YOU responding to shifting energies around you? What is your pattern? Have you done the inner work to develop strategies to help you shift? Or are you clinging to the familiar to attempt to control your environment and the people around you?

Sometimes we don’t like the answers to these questions but I am seeing such amazing growth in the clients I work with who are ready to do the deep examination and ask the hard questions that I urge you to be one of them. Ask the questions that might be hard to answer and then answer them honestly. ARE you trying to control the people around you, wishing things were different? Or are you noticing how things are different and helping the people around you to be who they incarnated on Planet Earth to become, even if it doesn’t mesh with what you want for them? Are you railing at the shifting environment, weather or work, family or financial, instead of seeking solutions from a new set based on new energies?

Remember that integrity does not just mean not stealing from someone else. It means staying true to your own highest purpose in being here in this lifetime. And loving others, including Mother Earth, means that you allow everyone else to grow into the person they are here to be.

Work WITH the shifting energies and you will be sailing with the wind! Work against them and you will feel buffeted by those same winds. Which do you choose? You DO have a choice!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE: “Do you think as a Citizen of Planet Earth?”

Dear Ones,

Who are you in the global sense?  Do you think of yourself as a citizen of Earth or are you wedded to your own town, country, continent or hemisphere?  The time has come for every human being on Planet Earth at this time to lift up their consciousness and consider themselves to be a citizen of Earth.

If you are wondering why this is so important at this time it is because there are so many problems that are global issues and thinking in small-minded approaches to these problems will not yield the best results.  The citizens of one country who do not consider the effects their decisions have on others in the world are missing the opportunity to participate in far-reaching solutions.  History will deem them very small-minded indeed.  And the solutions being found for global problems by other nations will ultimately cause economic and social harm to those who persist in their limited thinking.

In times past people did not traverse the globe for short trips or business meetings or short vacations with the family to a foreign country.  When someone traveled in the past they were often gone from home for months or years at a time.  There were no telephones or computers to use to connect with others across the Planet.  Now, however, people will fly across the country for one day, or hop to another continent for a weekend.  Computers and telephones allow people to be instantly connected with others anywhere in the world.  The world has changed dramatically in the last century and, yet, there are many people who have not expanded their thinking into this global perspective.

Think about those around you who have never left the country in which they were born.  What is their perspective on the bigger issues facing humanity today?  The television has certainly brought into consciousness many global issues because the images are put before people who are not directly involved.  Computers hook up those who live on opposite sides of Earth so that collaboration can take place without regard to physical location.  Shouldn’t these advances also have an impact on the search for solutions to those problems that are global in nature?

How do you answer questions from friends in foreign countries when they ask about your country and its impact on theirs?  Do you even think about this when you are considering decisions that you make?  Think in the microcosm, such as recycling your waste to help your local community and not putting into landfills that which is toxic to the environment, and then extrapolate into the macrocosm and consider how your choices can have an impact in the two dimensions of space and time.  What are the choices that you are making for the Planet and what is the impact on your descendants?  How are the choices you are making having an effect on your environment?

Every choice that you make today will have an impact, both on Planet Earth and on future inhabitants of the Planet.  Do you think in these terms?

Become conscious of your role on Planet Earth as a global citizen.  Are you being a good steward of the Planet in this time and for the future?  Are you relating harmoniously to your immediate environment so that your footprint will not leave a permanent impact?  Are your choices today good for those who live in other countries, on other continents, in the other hemisphere?  Can the choices you make today be sustained if everyone else on Planet Earth at this time made the same choices?

Consider these things so that your conscious decisions are made from the global perspective.  At this time, Earth is the only Planet you have to live on!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: What’s on Your Gratitude List?

Sometimes it’s difficult to access gratitude when we are feeling overwhelmed with our life or with our circumstances.  There seem to be a lot of us who are undergoing major changes and transitions in our lives.  Are you?

A friend of mine recommended this exercise to me:  Write out 100 things for which you are grateful and read the list every morning and every night.  This helps to focus your energy in gratitude instead of worry.  If you know anything about the Law of Attraction you know that you attract that on which you focus your attention.  If you are constantly worried then you are energizing and magnetizing the very thing you are worrying about, which is probably NOT what you want to have happen!

But if you go into a space of gratitude for what you do have then you energize more of that in your life.  ‘This or something better’ is the energy of attraction when you express and really get in touch with gratitude.  This is why affirmations work, because, when created properly, an affirmation is stated in the positive, in the present, and as if it is already reality so it is stated with gratitude.  When you send out this message of attraction the Universe arranges things to provide what you are focused on, or something better.

There are critics who do not hold that the Law of Attraction works but I believe differently.  Even when I didn’t know about the Law I could see that my thoughts were creating my reality.  Or did the thoughts create the lens through which I saw my reality?  Does it really matter?

Finding gratitude in the little things in your life will propel you forward into finding more things for which to feel gratitude.  Make up your list of 100 things and have fun with it.  Maybe ‘fun’ is on your list!  My list has things as prosaic as ‘My iPhone’ and as esoteric as ‘Seeing a Great Blue Heron, 2 foxes, a golden eagle and a coyote, all this week’ on it.  No matter what, there is always something to be grateful for.

I remember my beloved Aunt Margaret on her last day of life.  My family had been on vacation when we learned that she was unwell and not expected to last very much longer.  We hurried to her bedside and she had waited to see us to say goodbye.  After we left her a nurse came in and offered to get her whatever she wanted.  My aunt asked for a ginger ale and told the nurse where to find some money for the nursing home soft drink machine.  The sweet nurse said, ‘Don’t worry.  This is my treat.’  And my aunt’s response was,  ‘Thank you.  In my condition tonight I’ll accept your treat.’  She died a few hours later.

We can choose to be in gratitude or we can choose to find something to get upset about.  We can be sweet to other people or we can be mean to them.  We can create affirmations from gratitude or desires from greed.  All of Life is about choice.   Oh, maybe not about consciously choosing everything that happens but certainly about choosing what our response will be.  When we start each day in gratitude, our choices will come from an expanded awareness of how our lives are unfolding.  This expansion guides us to better choices throughout that day.

I am grateful to you for being a subscriber to this ezine or a reader of this message.

Now, 99 more and I’ll have a new gratitude list completed!

MUSE-INGS: “Practice Making Conscious Choices!” by Rosemary Bredeson

Choices.  Choices.  Choices.

Sometimes it feels as if we have too many choices and at other times that we have no choice.  It really does help to move up above a situation so that we can gain a bigger vantage point and see that there are always choices to make.  When we focus so narrowly on only one possible path, seeing only one possible choice, we limit ourselves and can feel powerless over our lives.

The first step in improving a situation like this is to pause and breathe.  Taking a deep breath actually moves our internal state into one that can see beyond the tiny perspective we have when we are holding our breath or breathing in a shallow manner.  So take a deep breath now to remind yourself how it feels.

Then allow yourself to metaphorically step back from the situation and look for the list of all possibilities, include those you might laugh at because they seem so outrageous.  Go ahead and laugh but put those outrageous possibilities on the list.  Then keep listing options until even the outrageous ones are exhausted.  This keeps you moving beyond feeling powerless and into a bigger energy.

How do you make a choice from among the list of possibilities?  Do you have a system that you have been using?  How is that working for you?  Do you feel confident in your choices?

For some people, the best choice is to delay making a choice.  Some people need time and space for decisions to percolate within them.  Others need to discuss the options because they process better by talking than by sitting alone and thinking about them.  Some might flip a coin or ask a trusted advisor.  What is your system?

If whatever you’ve tried in the past doesn’t give you great confidence in the decisions you make now, try a different system.  If you’ve relied on the past in working it out by yourself, why not try discussing a choice you have to make with someone else?  If you’re used to asking for advice, why don’t you try examining your choice from every angle by yourself first?  If you’ve never tried dowsing, why not get out a pendulum or consult oracle cards or try some other divination tool?

The point is to try a new approach to bring you into a consciousness about making choices in your life.  You are always at a point of choice if you allow yourself to see your life that way.  Learning to see your choices and to get in touch with your own empowered inner self leads you to become stronger in making those choices.

Find the Confident You by practicing your decision-making skills from a place of empowerment.  Notice how many choices you make in a day and then become conscious of every choice.  Are you ordering the same thing for lunch every day or can you make a different choice?  How about that Starbucks order – are you consciously choosing that latte or are you doing it out of habit?  What about the route you are driving – is it the one your intuition is leading you to drive or are you ignoring that inner signal to go a different way today?  Follow that inner guide.  Make each choice count today.

You will find that confidence depends on the skills you exercise in making choices, big and small.  Practice different skills to build your confidence.  Make conscious choices starting NOW!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “What choice do you have?”

Dear Ones,

Where are you going in the future?  Do you have a clear direction for your Life?  Do you know what your next step is to be?

We see that many people are moving in a direction that feels as if they are floating forward rather than actually choosing that direction from a place of consciousness and awareness of their Soul Purpose.  We wish you to be one who makes a conscious choice about every step that you take, in every area of your life.

Are you one who waits until others make a choice before making your own?  Do you charge ahead with the feeling of the moment without any analysis or consideration?  Or are you stuck in place wondering what your next step should be without taking any actions to clarify that step?  Whatever your current situation might be, you can always become conscious of the choices you are making, how you are making those choices and why you are choosing what you are choosing.  This is what it means to live a Conscious Life.

In these uncertain times there are those who would love for you to remain in uncertainty so that they can make your choices for you.  Do not succumb to the fear of the future for that causes you to give away your power.  You have no need to fear the future – it will arrive in its own time and in its own way.  But you have control in this present moment over what choices you make.  You can make the choices that will lead you in the direction of the future you desire so that you do not need to have fear about that future.

Do you feel empowered about the choices you have made so far today?  You have made a choice to read this.  You have made a choice to breathe and to be alive today.  You are living in relationships that are the result of your choices.  Your body is in its current condition because of choices that you or your spirit made so that you could learn today’s lessons.  Every choice you make is a part of living the learning of your lessons.  Every single choice.  Where you live, which influences the air you breath.  What you eat, which influences how you feel.  What you do for your work, which can influence many areas of your life besides finances and job satisfaction.  Who you connect with, which can have a great energetic influence on you.  The list goes on and on.  Every single choice that you make has far-reaching effects on you and on your life.

Let this lead you to make those choices that enhance your feelings of self-empowerment.  You are hereby empowered to make choices about everything today.  Focus especially on the choices you make regarding your responses to things that happen around you.  While you may feel that you cannot control what happens around and to you, you can control your responses.  Choose life-affirming responses from the center of empowerment within you.  Make every choice in your life from this place so that you can live an empowered life.

Conscious Living is the goal of every individual who is awake and aware that Life contains the Greater, the Universe within oneself.  Be the person who is committed to living a Conscious Life, starting with the very next choice that you make today!

And so it is.
