Self-Talk

In going back through some of my older files this popped up. I no longer remember what quandary I thought I had, but I find that the answer I was given still pierces in all of the right places.

Higher Self: “You have proven (and manifested) that you do not have to do anything that you do not want to do.  But are you happy with the end result? Here is an elevated approach. Do not focus on what you perceive as the obligation of the action so much as the beauty of the end result.  Experience the joy and therefore the ease of the beauty – actualized by your action.

Should you think that beauty is fleeting, know that this is not actually so.  It is an appearance only. Understand that standards require maintenance, and thus the impression of fragility/impermanence.  Learn to reside in the beautiful “place” so that your desire does not slip away from you.  Consider, you keep your cats in and from a charming place where you love on them.  You stroke them, you hug them, and you speak to them in a way that they find comforting and familiar.  You feed them your energy and respond to their joy.  Now, you must learn to do this to and for yourself.  Create and RESPOND to the delight your actions can create – on a loop. Up until now you have just been performing perfunctory actions – with little to no appreciation for the end result towards yourself.  You want beauty in your life.  It is better that your life is beautiful.”
