A very big aloha.

I'm Reverend Cindy Palos.

And I wanted to talk about how life changes can present opportunities.

Now,

They're not always easy.

Changes are depending on how your psyche build up and how you perceive them can be very difficult or very wonderful.

Now,

I know that there's a different attitude that sometimes people in different signs have,

You know.

There's fixed position signs,

Which I happen to be,

Which tend to want things to stay stable.

I found that this is not the way it's always going to be.

We know there's going to be changes in the world.

We're not immune to those changes.

And I think in some ways that we're seeing more of those changes happening because the world is changing pretty rapidly.

Now,

The thing that I do know is that every change,

Although they might be difficult,

Presents an opportunity.

And that's the key that you have to be able to embrace.

And there should be a bit of a process after you've gone through some major longtime way of living and all of a sudden things change.

You have to give yourself time to reflect.

And in some cases,

I think it reminds me of what people go through when there's a death process,

Same process of major life changes,

If they're really major life changes.

And you give yourself that space and time to go within,

To go within and really reflect on what opportunities and what these changes are bringing to your life.

Now,

We've seen that this has happened obviously with some of the major fires that have happened in Los Angeles and here on Maui and other places.

There are more and more of those fires happening and people are at this point having to say,

Okay,

Well,

Here can be a major life change and what am I going to do about that?

Am I going to stay?

Or am I going to go?

Or am I going to get another job?

Or,

You know,

Major changes.

You know,

Some might be all of the above.

If you go,

You might have to have another job or you might have to get another place to live,

Which involves a lot of changes to move.

And then there's that question of where do you move to,

Etc.

,

Etc.

And people are going through this right now.

Plus,

There's obviously a change in the government and the way things are happening and things that were solid a certain way before and not necessarily the way they are now.

I mean,

We can see it in the stock market and people don't like necessarily drastic changes if they don't and can't predict what's going to happen.

So I think in this time of change,

We have to really be objective and go into that objective observer state of mind and then go from that place to really question what is the best move to make in our lives?

What is the best way to embrace the opportunity to finally make some changes you might have been delaying making?

Now,

I've definitely seen this in my life and I've been going through it,

So I feel like that's part of the reason I wanted to talk about it.

It's very interesting when you see,

Okay,

I kind of knew this was always going to happen.

Now it's here.

Now it's time to make those changes and how you're going to do it and what you're going to do and the way you're going to follow the best way to go through that process and those changes.

And it involves a lot of things.

It involves changing friends sometimes or close associates sometimes.

It involves changing sometimes where you're living,

A house.

It changes maybe your income.

So it's a rather drastic life change that you might go through in this situation.

And if you haven't been in that situation,

I can tell you one thing,

At some point you will be.

At some point in your life,

You're going to have to face the fact that there's going to be some major changes.

And how do you face those changes in the best way,

In the best attitude?

And I really do believe the best way is to take some time to reflect.

Take some time to meditate.

Take some time to pray.

Take some time to go in and really check out what's going on in your life and where the next move and what would be the fulfillment of your life purpose in the best way that you can then move to.

This is kind of involving your sensitivity to what rings true,

What feels right inside,

And at the same time,

Respective of trying to be realistic as far as what you really can afford and what you wish to do.

I always kind of was impressed in a terribly strange way by this being enacted here on Maui when,

Years back,

A couple decided they wanted to come and visit Maui.

And they told everyone that was like,

Well,

We just decided we'll do it and the universe would support us.

And they didn't have the money.

They rented a very expensive hotel room and a car and they couldn't pay for any of it.

And thinking and saying,

Well,

We just trusted that it'll all get taken care of.

Not a good idea.

It didn't work well for them.

So there is that realistic part to be,

Okay,

This is what I've got.

This is how I can do it.

This is what really can work.

Not just this is what I want and this is what is going to happen if I demand making it happen.

That's just a side note because that's so important.

I believe in positive thinking.

Believe me,

I know how important that is.

And I believe in trusting the universe.

But the old statement,

A lovely phrase I always go back to is trust in God,

But tie up your camel.

It comes from,

It's not from America,

Obviously,

Because we don't have a lot of camels to tie.

It's a soupy statement.

Trust in God,

But tie up your camel.

So do that trust and have faith in God,

But make sure that you have the ability to really get to that point in how to make that happen as well.

And that's a really important life lesson for people.

You know,

There's a lot of people that go into the spiritual field and think that there can be shortcuts.

So that one example isn't rare because there are,

I know many people who go into the spiritual field and think that they can really just think positive and have everything taken care of for them.

Now,

The thing is,

It's wonderful to think positive.

It works.

It's wonderful,

But it only works to the degree that it gives you the power to take the right steps to make it happen.

It doesn't take away the hard work.

It doesn't take away you really putting your energy into it in a positive way and with time.

And I just had to put that in there because it is important to remember that there was a tendency by a lot of people that was going through the new age for a while to think that,

Well,

You know,

I can become a Reiki master and I can make a living doing Reiki,

Becoming a Reiki master.

Now,

There were some people who were very,

Very good at it and could do okay with that,

You know,

But it didn't take away from the fact that you had to do the right proper portion and really deliver on the end result and make people happy,

Etc.

And it's not really a shortcut.

It's a job,

You know,

And you do everything you do in that job knowing what you can make and what you can't make and what the limitations and what the rewards can be.

I mean,

There's so many ways to do what you wish to do,

But you can't usually overestimate,

And you don't want to overestimate what you can do if you think that's the only way you can get where you're going and you don't have the proper background or proper whatever it takes to make that successful.

Now,

I'm seeing some people really making it work beautifully,

And I really am amazed at how creative people are getting.

But I do see that the people who are telling other people how to do it seem to be making the most amount of money.

The ones that are saying they can teach you how to get where you want to go and teaching you all those things sometimes are doing classes and sometimes doing a few parts to their classes and work that they are doing,

And they seem to be able to market that very well,

And they can make money telling you what they need to do.

You know,

I have to say it's pretty amazing when I do see people creative enough to do that.

You know,

I've seen many books become successful,

Some of them being the most successful if they're telling people the how-to books,

Right?

So,

There's options.

There's options out there,

And there's ways to approach your dream,

And there's ways to approach the reality as well.

And it's always,

Always,

Always valuable to go within and really make some wise decisions based on your highest good and the highest good in the way that you can serve others as well in integrity,

You know,

With a real amount of honesty and caring,

Because you can't fake that.

That caring,

That honesty,

That integrity is so important and so valuable to you in your life purpose.

So,

Let's just take a few minutes here to meditate and reflect on this and kind of use it as a reset to think about major life changes.

And as we always do,

We just kind of go to that place that is so sacred within by sitting erect and by breathing deeply in and breathing deeply out.

And as you breathe in,

You go deeply in and seeing that light within,

And then you just release the tension and whatever might be out there in your body that you have to get aligned and straight and relaxed.

And just enjoying and embracing each breath in and each breath out.

Doing this now just to calm down and be centered and be able to really take a deeper dive,

A deep dive into your true life purpose.

And you can go to that center of your heart and go into that place there within your heart of hearts and be okay with just really asking your heart of hearts what your heart would love the most to do.

Just breathe into that and be with that.

Just breathing in and out from the heart,

Letting it speak to your mind.

Let it be reflected,

And let it be given the opportunity to have your highest soul light come down and shine upon that perfect way for you to find what you're meant to do in your life.

And ask that that be made clear to you,

And that everything that's needed to put that into alignment in the process of making it happen falls into place in a way that makes it go with ease,

With clarity,

With inspiration,

With guidance.

Take a few moments and let that settle.

Let that be present to you.

And ask that all those pieces to that puzzle fall easily towards your life and into all the ways that you need to make that possible and happen.

And allow yourself to slowly come out of this meditation and ask that you take the time to let what comes to you be written down.

And if nothing seems to come to you,

Still allow that opportunity to write down.

Write down what you think is really the right thing for you to do with your life,

For the highest good,

To serve your highest purpose in the best way possible.

Remember to take that time to let the pieces of this puzzle fall into place so that you can fulfill your true destiny in life.

I send you my deepest love and blessings on this beautiful journey.

God bless you.
