Have Fun!!!
4:00 p.m.
I had a message come through for a client today that God wants us to have fun and enjoy life. I am going to let my Spirit Guides tell more.
Spirit Guides: God does want everyone to have fun and enjoy life. The lessons you choose to learn while in a human body, can all be done with fun and joy. It is a gift that came with the body. You connected with fun and joy as a child and many of you let responsibilities override the fun. It is not your fault that you let fun go for responsibility, it is what your family, teachers and community taught you and you learned well! It is your fault if you don’t reconnect to the fun, in whatever you are doing. YOU can make responsibilities fun, YOU can find or bring fun to any situation you are in, even if it is in your own head. If you are somewhere that you don’t feel you are allowed to have fun outloud, have fun inside your self. If the people you surround yourself with are not fun, create new people to surround yourself with. You say that is impossible or hard, that you have no control of the people in your life, especially at work. There is a simple little prayer or mantra to say, thank you for taking the unfun people out of my life and bringing the fun people in. YOU have the power to make the changes you want in your life, just decide to do it!
How Do You Find Balance?
I want to look a little bit more at the message from my Spirit Guides to live today like it is your last day. Since we still have to provide for ourselves and our families, since today is not really our last day, how do we find the balance in providing and throwing caution to the wind to live it up?
Spirit Guides: We love that you are looking for balance. That was really the point in that earlier guided writing. So many people take life so seriously, we would love to see them enjoy it more. By incorporating living each day like it is your last into your workload, it will help bring the fun back. Instead of putting your head down and moving with the grind, you will be able to keep your head up, see the joy you might have been missing and bring some of your dreams to fruition. WHY NOT ENJOY YOUR LIFE? Truth is, this could be your last day. Get the most out of it no matter where you are, who you are with or what you are doing. Turn work into play!
What Are You Waiting For?
I was thinking this morning about all the things I am waiting to do. I am waiting to have lunch with a group of my friends until my schedule clears up and I have an opening. Why is it I don’t just schedule that lunch? Why do I let what I feel my responsibilities of my career take over my life? I am waiting to take my husband to Vegas to see the Blue Man group once our kids are out of college and self sufficient. What if we die tomorrow and he never gets to see the group he wants to see, what would be the point if we don’t have fun along the way? We waited to buy a new couch until the kids moved out, three boys and their friends are hard on a couch. We love the couch and there is really no reason we could not have had new one earlier and then got a new one after the kids moved out. How many of you are waiting to invite friends over until you have new carpet? Then what, will you wait for new appliances? Is new carpet or appliances more important than spending time with friends or family? So, what are you waiting for, give to yourself and allow for the stuff you want to do before you don’t have any time left to do it.
Choose to Have a Glorious Day
Spirit Guides: Today can be a glorious day if you choose to allow it. No matter where you are or what you are doing, you can choose to see the good that will come of the moment and you can choose to make it fun. There is always more than one way to view a situation. If you saw somebody get covered with mud would you choose to be grossed out or choose to the see how funny they looked? Choosing to find the humor in any situation will help your day be glorious as opposed to hum drum. Choosing to see that you are learning and growing no matter what you are doing will help your day be glorious. If you do not like something about your day, ask yourself if you can change it and change it. If you cannot change it, decide to find the humor and enjoy it! Try saying I love my life to yourself regularly and see if you don’t start to love your life even more than you do.
Be o.k. with whom and where you are.
My dumplings were a hit; I think my family liked them better than the stew. It is so nice to sit down to a leisurely family meal every now and then. It seems like it gets harder and harder to plan a meal around everyone’s schedules.
I tend to feel that I am always pushing myself to be better, to do better, and to do more. And then I am frustrated when I don’t get it all done. My guides keep saying be o.k. with who you are now. Be o.k. with where you are now. I wonder if I was o.k. with whom and where I am at this moment, what would motivate me to move forward. How would I spend my time, how would I pay my bills, how would I make a difference to others?
Spirit Guides: Being o.k. with where you are now really means accepting yourself for who you are, not who you think you want to be. This does not mean you will not continue to have goals and ideas of things to create and people to spend time with, it simply means you will be more content doing it. Being in the moment, enjoying it, treasuring it, no matter how big or small the occurrence is the most important part of the human experience. If you are not in the moment, but thinking and planning out your next steps, you cannot get the most out of the experience you are in. Once you accept that you are good enough right now, believe it or not, it will make it even easier to reach the goals and dreams you are after. Take an inventory of your day, was it nice or are you just glad it is over? Ask yourself what you can do to enjoy your day even more; the more you enjoy it the easier it is to be in the moment, to be o.k. with whom and what you are.
43 How to stop being let down by other people.
At one time or another everyone feels let down by people in their lives. I started thinking that we can’t be let down if we don’t have expectations of them. However, how the heck to we keep from having expectations.
Spirit Guides: You are on the right track here. There are times when you need other people to help you in your life, and quite often, humans do not ask for help. They expect the people in their lives to know what they need and expect them to meet their needs. So for starters, let people know when you do have expectations or they will fail and you will be hurt.
When you do have an expectation that is not serving you, one thing to do is to look at what need you have that is not being met and why you think you need this need met through a particular person. As you look at this need, you may start to realize that this is something you already hold within you and may find you don’t need outside help at all.
Being able to let go of expectations and except people the exact way they are at the exact moment is possible. You will have a hard time letting go of your expectations of others if you think or say things like, “I would never treat them that way” or “my friend Suzy would never act like that” you have moved into comparing and judging. Letting judgment go, will help you let the expectation go. Whenever you have an expectation, you can tell yourself that you are deciding not to have any expectations for this person and if they do something more than the normal, see it as a gift. You can use your grounding cord to send the expectation down, or put the expectation in a rose and destroy the rose. Making the conscious decision to let the expectation go is the first step that will lead into less and less expectations and away from further disappointments.
