It's a beautiful day, and you're the reason why.

No matter what may be on the horizon, and in truth, we may never know what is coming down the pike, but no matter, you are the reason that this is a beautiful place.  Yes you!  We are what is best about this planet.  We are what's best about this place we call home.  We are simply the best.  It is our presence that creates a beautiful environment.  It is our energy, and vitality, that draws others to us.  It is our spirit that undoubtedly will be the catalyst that brings about the needed change most are so desperately seeking.

Today I just want to remind you of who you are, and why you are so important to the rest of humanity.  In trying times we often forget what is most important, and what is most important is your own realization of your significance.  What's most important is your ability to rise above all the negativity and doubt and simply be you.  What's most important is that you walk in your destiny, and be there to help others discover their own destiny.  One of the most important factors in coming to terms with who you are, is realizing that you are not simply you. You are so much more than you.  You have within you amazing power.  The power to create your own reality.  You have the ability to walk in abundance, if abundance is what you desire.  You have the ability to walk in joy, happiness, and love, if that is what you desire.  You can, if you so choose, create a utopia.  This may all seem impossible in light of the times that we are living in right now, but there are certain universal truths that will never change no mater what the rest of the world might be going through.

As I sat down to write this morning I was unsure of what direction I wanted to go.  I've seen the trouble that surrounds us at this moment.  I see countless people worried about this pandemic that is taking hold of our planet.  It would be easy to fall into the pattern that so many others have fallen into, but you have a choice in what  happens to you, and it is my hope that you choose wisely.  We as humans all too often feel as though we have no choice in what is happening.  This is false.  You do have a choice, and a choice is what you are going to have to make if you want to rise above all the problems that appear to be out there right now.  We have been conditioned to believe that we have no say so.  We have been conditioned to believe that we can only live with what is happening.  We have been conditioned to only see with our eyes, and not with our spirit.  For years I have been digging deep and trying to discover the meaning of life.  I have put aside what I was told was reality, and decided that I wanted to create my own reality, not someone else's.  It's easy to go with the flow, but the flow is not always the best way to go, especially if that flow is contrary to what you know to be true, or at least what you hope it to be.  I know of very few people who given the option to live a life of pure joy, who wouldn't choose that instead of a life of pure drudgery.  I truly believe that we are entering into a period of enlightenment.  This enlightenment is what has been needed for a very long time, but it is only beginning now, as now is the right time.  The Universe is perfect in its design and timing.  We tend to get into trouble when we try to create our own timeline of things, instead of allowing what has to happen, happen in the perfection of the universe.

We've all heard the term, "Let go and let God."  What most people fail to realize is that your creator has given you all the ability that creator has.  Shock, disbelieve is what generally comes from people when you state this, but why?  If you are every bit of your natural parents, then why wouldn't you be every bit of that which truly created you?  Man's conditioning has done nothing but rob you of your true abilities, because man over the generations has been taught that they are nothing more than average.  Nothing more than human.  Nothing more than someone who simply must roll with the punches, and accept what has been dealt to them.  Quite frankly I'm tired of having to do what others think I should do, what others think I should be.  I'm fed up with so many people who live defeated lives, when they have the ability to rise above it all.  I'm not saying that there will never be a time when you are tested, when you are tried, but for goodness sake, given the option to rise above it all, why would you choose anything else?

No matter what is happening around you, it's still a beautiful day, because you are beautiful.  It's still a beautiful day because you are present in it.  It's still a beautiful day because that is how you see it.  If you look for doom and gloom, I promise you, you will find it.  On the other hand, if you want to see the beauty, the splendor, the amazement that life has to offer, you will find it.  If you want to experience all that life has to offer all you have to do is receive it.  I Know how hard it is to rise above all the doom and gloom when all you see around you is press coverage of what is happening.  All this negative press, the television coverage, is coming from those who can't, or choose not to see, what is inherently theirs by virtue of their birthright.  Let me ask you a question: aren't you tired of having to fit into others ideas of who you should be, or what you should be doing?  Aren't you fed up with having to justify your existence to others who feel as though the world is coming to an end and you might as well just give up the ghost?  I can't, and I won't subject myself to this kind of thinking, and I suggest you do the same.  If this is indeed a period of enlightenment, which I believe it to be, think of how much we can accomplish if we just band together and be what we were always intended to be.  We were created to create.  Maybe it's time that we start creating the life we truly desire and not accept what others say we must do, or be.

If you want to live a beautiful day, then see your beauty.  You really are the reason that this world is beautiful, without regard to what may be going on right now.  You are the reason that others will be able to rise above all the fear, all the turmoil, all the dread.  If you will take a stand, be the real you, walk in your power, you will begin to change humanity one person at a time.  If ever there was a time to embrace the real you, now is that time.  If ever there was a time to step out into your destiny, now is the time.  If ever there was a time when others needed what you have to offer, now is that time.  Let go of the fears, release your self from the expectations of others, and simply be the you that the world  really, really, really needs right now.

There is power in numbers, and the more we stick together, the more we can accomplish.  It's such a beautiful day because you are present in this day.  Never forget your beauty, and what you bring to those around you.  Love and light to you.
