Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and
with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

I want to first extend to each of you and your families a wonderful, joyous and peaceful holiday! This year has brought about change for so many of us. It is often difficult to see the “good” in a situation that you believe has brought you loss. During these times it is very difficult to bring your focus into the present. But once this is accomplished you find that you are no longer looking at the “loss” but instead see the door of opportunity standing widely open before you. You enter through this door, moment by moment, while staying focused on being present. You will find an unrealized reality that far exceeds anything you have hoped to experience.

Prosperity is in the present moment. Prosperity is not an isolated event but is a principle of Gods’ presence being everywhere. It is in the present that God is manifested as love, peace, joy and everything that you could ever hope for. God is not somewhere “out there”, but right with you in the present moment. He will not leave you…he can’t leave you because you are his beloved, in whom he is well pleased. But you will only experience this presence when you are present. You will not find God (the source of your creation) in your past or future. Your past and your future are based upon time and God is not limited by our belief in time. The present moment is the portal to eternity, never changing, never ending and always present for you.

In this presence your world must reflect all that God is. Prosperity has never left you, but you may have closed your eyes to its presence. Open up your eyes and become aware of the opportunities before you. Live as the divine being that you were created as. Live with the joy, peace and love that have always been available for you. The only requirement that is asked is that you be willing to accept and receive what is before you, the opportunities and reality that where made for you. That is all. Is receiving so difficult?

We have become so accustomed to feeling that our accomplishments must be evaluated by the amount of our doing. I want to suggest that our accomplishments can only be evaluated through our being in the present and receiving Gods’ love. When we are consciously joined with the only power in the Universe what could we possible need to do? In letting go of “our little self” we become a child of God. As a child of God we are protected, loved, supplied with everything that will bring us happiness.

Why would we choose for anything less than everything? Because so many of us have fallen asleep to the truth and reality of our being. We sincerely believe that our doing makes and guarantees something in our world. We have come to believe that self-sufficiency leads to freedom and we are determined to be free. We have become individuals, separate from each other, our creator, separate from the prosperity that
was meant to be ours. Is this really freedom? We are simply asked to change our minds. We are asked only to practice being present. The practice seems to be very simple, but practicing being present will be the most difficult task that you will ever be asked to achieve. Why? We have allowed thoughts about our past and future to keep us in a place where the present moment can not be experienced! Can we let those thoughts go! How do we begin this practice?

1). Spending some part of our time in the stillness (a place where we let go of every thought and listen for the voice of God to instruct us in our moments).
2). Meditation with the purpose of connecting with the presence of God.
3). Forgiveness-letting go of past thoughts and beliefs.

In order for change to come into our lives we much first prepare a space for it to occupy. We attract to us those qualities that we have opened up a place to receive. Are you willing to start this day with a new way to experience what you want? Prosperity is here. Gods’ love is here. Where are you?

Blessings,
