Give joyfully, with an attitude of gratitude for the blessings that already are.

Many people who come to me ask how they can learn to receive. But really what they are asking is how they can give in a way that is free from conditions, because when we give freely and unconditionally, we automatically create the place where we can receive.

The Soul is our truest essence. It's the divinity in you, in me, in everyone. When it stirs, there is a brief glimpse of something more than the physical reality, a sense of presence, a sense of Spirit. Sometimes the energy of that is so strong you can ride on it for years.

Regardless of what is confronting you or the difficulty you face in any moment, you always have the opportunity to change and direct your choices into greater blessings. Your choice for greater blessings always begins with you.

It is your attitude toward things that either blocks you or frees you. The key to spiritual unfoldment and, of course, development beyond the personality is to deal positively with situations. It's not hard. What's hard is the negative attitude that goes before you. The best attitude to have is where, no matter what someone may say or think about you, what's important is what you say and think about you, because after they're gone you are still with yourself.

When you move into the consciousness of service, you start realizing that the first thing you have to do is love. When you love, you do not look at anything as being a burden or sacrifice. Being of service is freely doing, without any other thought in mind than freely doing. To do something freely is to put aside all the things you want and do what needs to be done without expecting anything back. It is not, "I'll be of service so I can gain." It is more like, "I'll just do to do, to do, to do, to do." And that is it. If anything comes back, it comes back, and if it does not come back, that is quite all right.

You never turn completely from the Light into the darkness. You can turn to a lesser degree of Light, a Light expression less than what is possible for you. And when you do that, you might see a lot of shadows and it might be a little dark and murky. There is Light, however, in all extensions of God in all universes. The mind, the body, the words, the emotions are so very far from perfect it's sometimes a wonder that we get the body out of bed in the morning and safely back there at night. If that doesn't require a form of God consciousness, I don't know what does.

There is a way out. It is not through blaming others or feeling like a victim or judging. That traps us in the false self's field of behavior. The way out is through the true self, which is unconditional and unconditionally loving.

Often the blessings begin with learning what can change -- indeed, what needs to change for the better -- and calling for whatever can serve the blessings to become. We can begin making better choices that contribute to the blessings. So come into the awareness that God is always blessing you and all in creation.

When we give, at the very least, we are more likely to experience that our life has meaning; that we are living our life on purpose. We sometimes find our lives in losing it in service to others.
