\n~ James Allen ~<\/p>\n

I move and breathe and have my being in God.<\/strong><\/em>
\n~ Oprah Winfrey ~<\/p>\n

Settle in.\u00a0 Consume a large glass of clean, clear water.\u00a0 Give yourself a deluxe bath\/shower complete with your favorite soaps and lotions.\u00a0 Wash away your cares, and You sing to yourself.\u00a0 Slip into your most comfortable lounging clothes.\u00a0 Breathe.\u00a0 Keep breathing.\u00a0 Play soothing music.\u00a0 Light a scented candle, and enjoy delicious aroma filling your space.\u00a0 Dim the lights to a festive glow.\u00a0 Light a fire in the fireplace (or imagine one).\u00a0 Make your favorite warm beverage, coffee, cocoa, eggnog, tea, and the like.\u00a0 Slip into a cozy chair.\u00a0 Wrap yourself in a soft blanket.\u00a0 Imagine You in your ideal place, your paradise, whether it be a castle, swanky penthouse, a ranch, a rustic cabin in the woods, an exotic private island, and the like.\u00a0 This is your moment.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dorothy: Oh, will you help me? Can you help me?<\/strong><\/em>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Glinda: You don’t need to be helped any longer. <\/strong><\/em>

~ The Wizard of Oz ~<\/p>\n

Today’s message is important because it is especially for You and holds tools to help You successfully move forward.\u00a0 The wisdom for which You have been yearning is here.\u00a0 The change You have been desiring is here.\u00a0 The answer for which You have been praying is here.\u00a0 That which You have been seeking has been inside You all along and is revealed by your willingness to open the door and listen to the Divine Voice in your heart.\u00a0 The life You dream of having and who You dream of being are through the door.\u00a0 Accompany me, and meet your true self, a clever, fabulous, gorgeous, intelligent, powerful person making the world better simply by “being”.\u00a0 Are You ready?\u00a0 Here and now is your moment.<\/p>\n

Sometimes it’s the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.<\/em><\/strong>
\n~ Keri Russell ~<\/p>\n

The universe and the world were created in a very orderly, specific fashion.\u00a0 Energy was organized into distinct forms governed by specific laws.\u00a0 Every living being serves a beautiful and specific purpose in the circle of life.\u00a0 Every atom, every cell, every fiber of life is crucial to the success of the universe as a whole, and every life is important and precious.\u00a0 You, yes, You, are crucial to the entire universe\u2019s operation and why it is imperative You step up and claim your destiny now.\u00a0 You are God’s\/J’s glorious masterpiece.\u00a0 You, whether You feel it or not, willing to accept it or not, are divine art.\u00a0 You simply existing and being contributes to the successful operation of the entire universe.<\/p>\n

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. <\/em><\/strong>
\n~ Marianne Williamson ~<\/em><\/p>\n

You were created for a special reason, a unique mission implanted as a seed in your heart, a voice defying all logic and reason whispering, “Yes, You are.\u00a0 Yes, You can.”\u00a0 Your heart seed is your purpose for being here and contains the blueprint for You to be perfectly, wonderfully, uniquely You.\u00a0 The key is, like an apple tree growing and an egg gestating, trusting the seed to bloom perfectly.\u00a0 You are a rare gem with a razzle dazzle only You bring to the world.\u00a0 Consider yourself a diamond, and, like the diamond, your shine is revealed by extreme pressure.\u00a0 You may be experiencing some stress; use it to reveal the very best You.<\/p>\n

A real decision is measured by the fact that you have taken new action. <\/em><\/strong>
\nYou haven’t truly decided if there is no action.<\/em><\/strong>
\n~ Anthony Robbins ~<\/p>\n

You have an immediate opportunity to choose how You perceive what is happening in your life, which ultimately determines your destiny.\u00a0 Does life happen to You or for You?\u00a0 Are circumstances obstacles or opportunities?\u00a0 How You view what happens for You determines your choices, emotions, actions, and results.\u00a0 You can choose to view pressure as an opportunity for growth, an invitation to clear out the old and welcome the new.\u00a0 You can refine your character.\u00a0 You can embrace change.\u00a0 You can establish new habits and a new standard for living.\u00a0 You can receive blessings and rest in divine favor.\u00a0 You can step into your dreams and allow them to become reality.\u00a0 You can be empowered.<\/p>\n

My son, do not make light of the Lord\u2019s discipline, <\/em><\/strong>
\nand do not lose heart when he rebukes you, <\/em><\/strong>
\nbecause the Lord disciplines the one he loves.<\/em><\/strong>
\n~ Hebrews 12:5-6 ~<\/p>\n

You may feel as though You have taken all You can.\u00a0 You may feel persecuted.\u00a0 You may wonder where God\/J is, and maybe even ask if He has forgotten Your or is punishing You (which is false).\u00a0 You may ponder how your life got here and feel it is not working even though You have done everything You can.\u00a0 You may feel it is not going to get better.\u00a0 You may even feel like giving up.\u00a0 You my friend, are in an excellent place.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 You are ready.\u00a0 You are ripe for change.\u00a0 You are primed for something new.\u00a0 You are open to receive, and You are willing to let go.\u00a0 Surrendering is the key to your freedom and catalyst You have been seeking for change.<\/p>\n

Beyond sculptures and symphonies, beyond great works and masterpieces, <\/em><\/strong>
\nis the greater, finer art of creating a conscious life. Genius appears everywhere <\/em><\/strong>
\n…and so magnificently in a life well lived.<\/em><\/strong>
\n~ Karla McLaren ~<\/p>\n

2011 is a significant year and guiding You to step into a higher, more powerful, simpler consciousness, a space of mind where You recognize your power of creation and live life by design. The following insights may help You find peace, understand more about the macro-picture, and successfully navigate 2011 while preparing yourself for your stellar future.<\/p>\n

What is 2011?<\/strong><\/p>\n

1)\u00a0 2011 is The Year of Enlightenment and Truth.<\/strong>\u00a0 Love is the only Truth, and everything else is falling away.\u00a0 The beliefs and memories hidden in the emotional closet and swept under the mental rug are being brought to Light.\u00a0 The veil of illusion is being torn to reveal Truth.\u00a0 The Truth is Love, and Love is You.\u00a0 You are God’s\/J’s BeLoved just as You are in this moment.\u00a0 Relax and be.<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0 You are a new creation.<\/strong>\u00a0 (“Anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come; the old has gone, the new is here!” ~ 2 Cor. 5:17.)\u00a0 Be new, and do new.\u00a0 Old habits, patterns of being, and ways of operating are void.\u00a0 Today is the dawn of a new era of awareness, creativity, innovation, and simplicity.<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0 You are a clean, fresh canvas.<\/strong>\u00a0 Old beliefs are disintegrating as people become so exasperated by the status quo that they are willing to experience something new.\u00a0 Let go of the meaning You have attached to things.\u00a0 Forget the past, and start from here and now.<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0 Data collection is complete.<\/strong>\u00a0 Today is an opportunity to integrate knowledge, and discover areas for expansion and growth.\u00a0 Recognize and welcome possibilities as the origins for miracles.\u00a0Don\u2019t forget there are plenty of other great online casinos in the United Kingdom if you want to entertain yourself, learn more info – www.nonukcasinos.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5)\u00a0 Students are the new teachers.<\/strong>\u00a0 Great instructors, like Oprah Winfrey, are moving into new life phases, creating space for other teachers.\u00a0 World-changers and leaders, like Steve Jobs, are leaving the planet to pave the way for others leaders.<\/p>\n

6)\u00a0 Authenticity is power.<\/strong>\u00a0 People are discovering their genuine selves.\u00a0 False identities found in things of the world are eroding and making way for people to recognize themselves as souls with spirits living in bodies.\u00a0 Everything with which people identify themselves, including: career, finances, health, home, and relationships, is transforming, offering people the opportunity to experience their true identity in God\/J as God’s\/J’s BeLoved.<\/p>\n

7)\u00a0 Embrace lessons in the temporary and transitional.<\/strong>\u00a0 This moment, and these circumstances are ripe with education and training preparing for what is to come.<\/p>\n

8)\u00a0 Be your best with what You have and who You are now.<\/strong>\u00a0 Be happy now.\u00a0 Choose wisely.\u00a0 Create empowering beliefs and habits.\u00a0 Cultivate yourself.\u00a0 Learn.\u00a0 Harvest wisdom.\u00a0 Live fully your best day today as your actions, beliefs, feelings, and thoughts devise the foundation for your future.<\/p>\n

9)\u00a0 Release and surrender.<\/strong>\u00a0 Miracles happen through a change in perception.\u00a0 Let go of your ego\u2019s desire to \u201cdo it myself\u201d and to be \u201cright\u201d.\u00a0 God\/J has wonderful plans to prosper You when You cooperate and trust His Way, especially when it does not make sense.<\/p>\n

10)\u00a0 Be still and listen.<\/strong>\u00a0 The collapse of the old world is a faith opportunity to rest in Grace, walk by Faith, and recognize God\/J as the sole source of protection and provision.\u00a0 Heeding and obeying God’s\/J’s instructions reveals blessings and allows divine favor to flow.<\/p>\n

11)\u00a0 Ground yourself in God\/J.<\/strong>\u00a0 God\/J is aligning all things for good even when it does not appear as such.\u00a0 He is providing tools that to sustain and prosper You moving forward.\u00a0 The devil is working tirelessly to coax people into disbelieve God’s\/J’s Promises, which is part of the transition in career, finances, health, home, and relationships.\u00a0 God\/J transforms tests into testimonies when You align with Him.<\/p>\n

12)\u00a0 You are the artisan of your destiny.<\/strong>\u00a0 Words have power.\u00a0 You bring about what You speak and think about.\u00a0 Command things not as they are rather as You desire them to be.\u00a0 Keep claiming your destiny.<\/p>\n

13)\u00a0 Be kind.<\/strong>\u00a0 Be kind first to yourself by loving yourself, nurturing yourself, and caring for yourself the way You would care for the person You most Love.\u00a0 You are filling your cup and can share your overflow with others.<\/p>\n

The highest form of wisdom is kindness.<\/strong><\/em>
