Are you aware that right now, at this moment in time, you are creating your life and all you experience and see around you? Literally what you are thinking and feeling right now, and giving your focus to right now, is planting the seeds of your future for you.

Sure, we all know the choices and decisions we make affect the outcome of our lives through the consequences of our actions. What I am talking about, though, is very different than the seriousness of all those choices, decisions, and consequences.

I’m not talking about bad karma, good karma, or rewards for your just and proper life. I’m talking about real living. Living from your heart and the core of who you chose to be here, and what you’ve sent along with yourself here to create this life with.

Find a way to be grateful for each and every negative experience you have been through in your life.  Through those experiences that you planned for yourself, you have grown to where you are. Each and every one of us can look back on every single negative thing we have been through, and find grace in it by acknowledging all we learned from those experiences. Thank our creator for allowing you to learn and grow from those experiences and release the hold they have on you. Say goodbye and be refreshed, no longer allowing them to “be who you are”. You are not your experiences. They were there for growth not to become one with.

Do not let others define who you are. Better yet, do not let yourself be defined at all! What do I mean by that? I run across many, many unhappy people who have lived a certain life because it was expected of them. I’ll give you an example. A rare and talented artist, for instance, who didn’t believe in his talent, miserably unhappy and not painting at all, striving in business, and surrounded by negativity crossed my path one day.

I am here for rescue, so when someone crosses my path like this, I know I am to pull them out. Through reading him, I discovered his talents lying dormant, and what his fears had created in his life through not living real. I helped him to see why he was given these gifts, helped him gain confidence, and point him in the right direction for living the life that will give him the pleasure that his spirit seeks here. He is now sharing that art with the world, and everything around him, and the support he so desperately has needed is falling in to place. He is now beginning to experience real living.

We are given gifts for a reason. That reason is to share, to bring others light, and hope, and to love using the gifts we brought with us to create a better world for ourselves and all those around us. No matter what your gifts, when you live from the heart, others will be touched.

We all have gifts. Do you know what yours are? I truly believe, right down to the moment we are born, and how that relates to our talents and gifts, is planned, and we assist with that planning. Our strengths, talents, and information about what drives us, can all be found in our astrological birth charts.

This is yet another benefit of meditation. Connecting with your higher self is essential to really know what purpose your talents and gifts bring. This is invaluable to help yourself through the challenges and blocks that stand in the way of your full potential in this life.

I believe also planned, are our weaknesses and what we must overcome for our own unique spiritual growth. Understanding those challenges helps us get through them . Getting through them means we are able to radiate our talents and gifts to help others, and use them for the benefit of all.

Most of us know what our gifts are, but may not use them. Many have blocks or fear associated with their gifts, or what I like to call “family programming” to overcome. Some just haven’t yet discovered how to get from point A to point B. Wherever you are on your spiritual path, there is always more to learn on every subject.

I believe we are happiest when using our talents and gifts to help others, and in doing so, we truly live the life of our dreams.

Do you know yourself? Do you know the spirit who lives within you and has chosen this shell, this skin you are in, to house it in this lifetime? Do you know why you have chosen this particular shell? To everything, and I do mean everything, there is a reason.

Take the time to get to know the real you. There is an incredible bright spirit that lives within you. That spirit is you. If you don’t already meditate, learn to. Learn to look at your shell from the inside out to understand who you have chosen to be in this life in order to achieve the growth and learning that you have come here to achieve.

We, as a whole, look from the outside in. We are programmed that way. The key is in reprogramming yourself to come from inside out. We are programmed to think of ourselves and view ourselves as a product of our “outside” world, or a product of our environment. What goes in from outside, combined with the gifts and tools we brought with us, becomes who we are. If you come, though, from the inside to the outside,
you will come to see a beautiful difference. Your outside circumstances such as a neglected childhood, or other traumatic experiences, that you may feel have shaped who you are in a negative sense, become, instead, blessings, as you will start to see the underlying reasons for those situations or circumstances in your life

You have chosen this shell because it fits in with the other tools, gifts, talents, obstacles, situations, and growth you chose to help you with achieving your mission or purpose, but it is truly not who you are. It is only part of the package you chose in order to have the best circumstances for success.

If you really want to get the most out of this life, get to know your shell. Really get to know your personality, positive and negative points. Overcome the negative by turning them into positives, and use the gifts, and the tools you’ve brought to make a positive difference in this world. We all can. It is no one’s choice but yours whether the difference you make is positive or negative.

Each and every person has brought a unique set of tools to work with. Your gifts or tools, are simply what you’re drawn to, and what things you do best. Other tools are things such as personality traits, life circumstances, special skills, or special areas of interest, and believe it or not, even obstacles.

I am not at all saying that everything in life is predestined. I am only saying that certain life situations are part of our greater plan to learn and grow from. What we do with it from there, is up to each one of us as individuals. We have free will to make choices and decisions that, most certainly, can and do, affect the outcome of our lives.
