The message my guides had been giving to me was one of trust and of not trying so hard to make things happen. I was burning out. (Clearly, I hadn’t heeded that message well.) With the pandemic, I started to see things differently. I softened my stance. I saw better than ever before how the fates of all people are interwoven. The desire and urge to struggle receded within me.
A shift in mental energy can make a huge difference in how you feel (and vice versa). And then both shifts work toward affecting even the energies around you. It’s so true—but so very hard to believe and remember in our cynical world—that living a life that makes us happy can change the world, starting with us.
We influence the world tremendously by living a life that makes us happy. I found myself unhappy but finally realized I was the source of unhappiness, by keeping myself in a “devil you know” situation. I had already created a plan for how to get out of this situation; [to get happy,] I simply need to follow the plan.
