The ultimate alignment you can make with the Universe, the big U Universe, AKA Spirit….is to simply be willing to be used for good….
I remember the day that I realized I needed to change my consciousness, and create a new life. I had been getting along pretty well until that day, knowing deep down that I was lucky and blessed. My life was good, and getting better, but I realized that I wasn’t giving enough back for all the blessings I had received.
I woke up that day….and I’ve been determined to stay Aware and Alert and Awake ever since! 
Sometimes, I remember, and actually succeed in doing that!
We hear the term, Consciousness, tossed around, yet not defined. I love this definition of consciousness by Eric Butterworth, one of my greatest inspirations....
"Consciousness might be defined as: All your ideas & attitudes & beliefs…..both the things that come to you, and the things that have been accepted by you. It is your feeling about life, about God, about yourself. You are a spiritual being, living in a limitless spiritual world, but you manifest only as much of that limitlessness as you feel at one with. This is consciousness."
Most of us go through life trying to be a "good person." When I heard someone say one day, "What I’m receiving now, I’ve given in the past," a heartbulb went off. If a person is happy, prosperous, and loved, that truth sounds good…If life is sad, lonely, and lacking, it’s a hard pill to swallow….but, it’s still true.
There are few of us who wouldn’t like to receive more LOVE, SUPPORT, KINDNESS, PROSPERITY, AFFECTION, JOY, ATTENTION, COURTESY in our lives. An ancient principle applies here….the law of Cause & Effect is absolute law, and never fails. It took me years to acknowledge this principle, and honor it in my life…."We get what we give"….tough to believe when it’s teaching us hard lessons, but in some way, we’re receiving what we’ve given in the past….pure and simple….and since I haven’t yet attained sainthood, I get some pretty stinky stuff sometimes.
I have a little box…I like boxes….the box says, "Dance like no one is looking, Sing like no one can hear you, Love like you can’t be hurt." I added, "Give like you have plenty."
You know why you have to give unconditionally…you know in your heart…Giving, being of service, making a contribution, is a JOY CHOICE…You benefit everytime you give, even if it’s not received…and many times it won’t be received…Keep giving anyway. You will open up the flow to bring more consciousness into your life everytime you give.
My dad’s name was Worth…it’s one of my favorite words for a multitude of reasons. Dad was a giver. He and my mom taught me to give…I’ve had lots of givers in my life. They taught me that it doesn’t work if you give to receive….If you give, you feel worthy of receiving, and then you receive naturally.
What can you do today?…BE OF SERVICE ON THE PLANET…..GIVE!
Giving comes with a guarantee from the Universe….you got it! The big U Universe!
- Go way past just thinking of service as time or money
- Give anytime you can…we’re not talking about Sacrifice…that’s an S word that’s not connected to Service!
- Give to friends, strangers, loved ones anyway you can
- Take time for living things! Communicate with people…talk to the elderly woman in the supermarket, acknowledge a service person, hold a door open, smile at someone, help!
-
Give more than is asked of you
Don’t store it! Share it! You learned that at 3 years old…share your joy, share your abilities, share your attention, share your time, share your love.
Complete the assignment you have here on earth….remember that assignment….the gifts you’ll receive are priceless!
Joy & Blessings, Carole xxx
