Advice for living.

All life evolves.

It is constantly changing,

Transforming,

And being altered.

That is the way of the world.

It can be no other way.

Although things will always change in your life,

Your response to the change determines your reality.

Change often occurs when you least expect it,

So learn to become more comfortable with it.

By doing so,

You will minimize your stress and suffering.

You can never control all that comes your way,

So learn to be resilient.

Accept what is beyond your control and have the courage to change what is within it.

Change allows you to more fully experience yourself and the world around you.

Be open to allowing your experiences to show you the way.

Experience can turn your knowledge into wisdom.

Learn from what you like and also learn from what you don't like.

Through contrast,

You can come to appreciate what you truly want.

Allow life to be your teacher and guide you forth on your journey.

Open your mind and open your heart so you may live life to the fullest.

Don't worry too much and don't allow your fears to control you.

Look to the world with love,

Compassion,

And greater understanding.

Do not judge,

But instead,

Simply observe.

Participate fully in all that life has to offer.

Don't hold back,

But don't be in a hurry.

Be patient.

Don't just take,

But also give back.

Allow your life to flow and unfold with beauty and grace.

Connect with your spirit often.

Treat yourself with loving kindness and treat others that way as well.

Look for the joy in your life.

That is your purpose.

Find joy and happiness wherever you possibly can.

Keep your life in balance in all things that you do.

Choose your perspective wisely and choose it of your own free will.

Find your truth and always speak it,

But do so in a loving way.

Keep your dignity and integrity no matter how tough life gets.

Live a valued,

Centered life.

Become more aware of everything going on around you.

Don't miss the opportunities that life presents because you are asleep.

Wake up and see fully all that is around you.

Let go of the chatter in your mind that distracts you.

Live your best life always and don't fret about the small things.

Reach for the sky and never be concerned if you don't get what you seek.

Allow failure and mistakes to be your greatest teacher.

It is the experience of trying that counts.

Don't ever give up on your desires.

Keep dreaming big dreams.

Live your life with gusto and enthusiasm.

Let go of the opinions of others.

Don't let guilt and shame deprive you of your happiness.

Find everything you have and don't focus as much on what you don't have.

Give thanks every day for the life you are living no matter how difficult it gets.

Always look for something to be grateful for no matter how much darkness is all around you.

Create nature in all its splendor.

See the magnificence in the trivialities of life.

Enjoy a sunrise,

A sunset,

Or a stroll in nature.

Listen to the birds and watch the clouds roll by.

Observe the beauty of all God's creations everywhere.

Go inward and find your oasis of peace and calm.

Go there when the storms around you get too severe.

Think about others but realize you are the most important person in your life.

Don't always be consumed with your problems.

Learn to be as positive as you can even when that is challenging to do.

Hug yourself often and hug others as well.

Spend time with yourself and find who you truly are.

Allow that person to be seen and heard more of the time.

Be your own person,

Be authentic,

Be unto yourself true.

Show up fully and allow yourself to be seen by the world.

Don't hide from your greatness.

Have the courage to move through your fears.

Or on the other side of your fears,

Live your best life.

Live each day to the fullest without regrets.

Seize the moment and live in that moment.

Stay present as much as you can.

Let go of the past that no longer serves you and don't be too focused on the future you cannot control.

Always be learning.

Forgive yourself and forgive others.

Connect to your emotions and always express them in a healthy and appropriate way for they are your truth.

Find love,

Become love,

And share your love with the world.

Thank you Jeffery. As usual, it is a message packed with bits to digest. The quality of your voice is different in this recording. Although we know a lot of this already, it’s good to listen to these reminders now and again, especially when we pass through difficult moments.
