It is a privilege to serve. Each time we give, we are affirming, "Thank you; I have more than I need."

A great part of our success has to do with clarifying what we want and what we're ready to do to get it. Some people think that their purpose on this planet is to make money; others, to "live happily ever after"; and still others, to be of service to their fellow man and woman. My theory is that we -- all of us -- are here to fulfill our individual plan of unfoldment. What is there, once we have unfolded? Our true wealth, which is beyond what you might think of as success. And each of us will find the wealth awaiting us according to our own rate of progress, as we seek our particular way. Or, as the song goes, "I'll do it my way." Of course, sometimes "my way" is not the only way; in fact, it may not always be the most effective or easiest way. Nevertheless, each of us has the inherent right to do it "my way," regardless of considerations.

Be thankful for what upsets you, seeing it as a teacher of what you need to learn. If that seems strange and outside of your reality, then you have something to learn. If you realize you don't know how to gain from what upsets you, then you have more to learn.

As you begin the inner journey, you will find that you are the only one who can decide what is right for you. You become responsible for yourself and to yourself, and to no others.

Love is the healer. Joy is the expression.

In Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," Brutus says to his friend Cassius upon going into battle, "If we do meet again, why we shall smile; If not, why then, this parting was well made." I've often reflected on those beautiful words. No matter how we leave people, whether on a journey or in what we call death, let's make it a "well made" parting, where we part without remorse but with joy and love and perhaps a tear in the eye. In that joy we bring whomever we are leaving into right now, and we never miss them. We always have them in the loving consciousness within us. We have the inner fulfillment without the tugging, theirs or ours. And we are okay missing them because we have the fullness inside -- there is no lack. In this way we walk with the Beloved, the spiritual consciousness that we all are.

You may be blind to your own gifts, but within yourself you can become acquainted and familiar with your true nature and gain the skills and confidence to use your inherent gifts.

What most people want is to be recognized, loved, and appreciated. We can verbalize those by just saying, "I love you, I care about you. I want to know what you're doing, not out of meddling, out of caring for you. Because maybe I can assist you." That's called being a human being.

You can feel happy simply because you experience happiness in your nature. Real, lasting happiness does not come at the detriment of others or through againstness or denial of reality. You can learn to be happy and not in conflict with others or situations, regardless of what is going on. Others may not agree with your happiness. They may think that you are responding inappropriately. Clearly, there is too much pain, suffering, and misery in the world, so there is no need to add to it. If your happiness is misunderstood or judged by others, you can turn it to peace, understanding, and compassion by choosing to be happy regardless.

The Soul comes from and has its home in the Soul realm. It takes on a physical body and comes here to gain experience, and Earth provides many, many experiences.
