LETTER to my God(dess) Daughter – November, 2008
“Financial Well-Being — No Matter What the Stock Market is Doing!”
My Dearest Darling God(dess) Daughter –
Our intention — and “life-mission” — is to live joyously, no matter what is going on. This is why we dance. It brings us joy. It brings joy to those around us — when they watch us dance with exuberance, and when they see our lives shaping up so wonderfully! Our joy encourages others to seek their own joy and happiness, however they create it or bring it into being.
So if we listen to the news (and this is not a practice that I recommend), there is not much of “joy” in this particular moment. That is, in addition to the usual stream of violence and mayham, we have the extraordinary churn on Wall Street. Everyone, it seems, is tuned into the “bail-out” package. Darlings, this attention is not healthy or happy for our souls.
I grant you, there is a situation unfolding. It has come about because people made unwise choices, and were aided and abetted in those choices by others who added short-sightedness and greed to lack of wisdom. However, since you create your own life, and you are 100% entirely responsible for what you experience, your focus — especially at times like this — needs to be on your overall state of happiness and well-being.
So when everyone else is losing their heads (and I do mean that in a near-literal sense), you must gain control of yours. Yes, darling, you must firmly and fervently decide where you will put your attention, focus, energy, and passion.
This is a time to return to basics. This is a time to practice self-discipline. And remember, discipline is remembering what you want.
So this letter is going to be very prescriptive. It is going to tell you what to do. Whether you choose to follow any of these (strongly worded) “suggestions” is, of course, up to you. However, I have found – in times of crisis — that it is very useful to have a sense of structure. To have a master plan, a checklist, that says, “first do this” and “next do that”. This letter is desigined to serve you in just that manner.
Rigorously filter what you take inside your head! Now, more than ever, you need to be careful with what you “feed” yourself. If the news is troublesome — after you have taken all appropriate steps and actions (see below) — then listen to something else. Turn off the radio and TV. Open the windows (if you can), and listen to nature sounds. Failing that, put on “nature” CDs. Or put on CDs from people whom you know have something good, useful, uplifting, and empowering to say. From now on, only pay attention to the good stuff. Go here (link to come) for some good recommendations.
More to come, sweethearts! (Promise!)
Live joyously, my darlings! – Alay’nya
