Good Morning Angels and Welcome to a new and improved day. Things are all around us at times that may remind us of ways we have been irresponsible in our past . It is important when it comes to things like this that we acknowledge where we are at right now. History only repeats itself if it goes undealt with. Don't feel bad for not always doing the right thing, but rather not stopping from doing the wrong thing. That is where we as human beings get caught up. It is hard to be in our bodies and not think with them. God says to not think in the flesh which is a true challenge. How do we do that? What happens if we don't think in the flesh vs. what happens if we do?

Love. If we do think in the flesh we usually end up more impacted by the event when it ends. I know that has helped me in relationships to not give all of myself physically to a man. It hurts when the relationship ends but it hurts a lot less. That would be one example.

How do we do that? You reprogram your belief system and decide what is more important to you. One's mind, body or soul. All three are important to me but one will keep a relationship interesting and the other will keep it together. Both not of the flesh.

Anger is something that the flesh responds to causing present and future consequences. It is so hard to do the right thing when you are angry or have any strong feeling for that matter. How to handle yourself during that would be best handled walking away and giving your self a minute. That is not always possible at work or doing a task that requires your focus. This is when you have to create an escape within yourself even to the point of closing your eyes and just hearing your self think. We have to be patient with ourselves and our emotions because they come from so many different places and events from our past and present. You may think you're feeling anger from something about one situation when its really from something else.

Negativity. We don't control anything but who we allow to take our power. Beware of people that provoke for their own selfish reasons because they will take advantage of anyone. You may cross paths with this type of person. If you do, let them keep walking - if you are talking to someone that does that, end the conversation or change it. If they refuse to, refuse their company.

Angels, life is about giving and being gracious to those that are inside and outside of our lives. But don't forget that in order to give to others you have to have something left of your self to give. Restore your own energy and recharge yourself up to being able to be dynamic for both yourself and others.

That is one sure way your flesh will know it isn't supposed to think for you, just take you where you need to go!

Until next week Angels, I wish love dedication to you all and I will be in touch with soon.

God + Challenge + Self Love = Your Life's Compass
