Heavenletter #5215 Life Goes On, and So Must You, March 6, 2015

God said:

Never did I mean you to be the analyst of life in the world. You try so hard to make sense of life from the surface level at which you judge it. You can analyze backwards and forwards and never get the hang of Life on Earth. Life is determined from deeper levels than you credit it to.

You see life amiss. You blame yourself for what has gone awry. You ask yourself what you did to cause what you see as a mishap or worse. Or you look to your neighbor down the street or the driver of a car to foist blame on, or, you look to God and see Me as letting you down or even punishing you, and, therefore, you may see Me then as an Invisible Plotter up in the sky. You are sure I don’t love you. If I loved you, would I allow such things to happen to you and other good people? Of course not, you are sure, if I loved you. At the same time, you might think that similar disappointments could be suitable to some other human beings that you may see as deserving misfortune.

You must know by now to stop thinking this way. Thinking this way is not a way out of the perceived mire you find yourself in. Just as children might blame the sidewalk for their falling down on it – bad sidewalk -- you look for something to blame. Responsibility and blame are two different things. Come to the place where you can shrug off blame and admit to yourself that life is like this or life is sometimes like this and it is not meant personally to you. Perhaps you were just there. Perhaps you were incidental. Perhaps it is all right that Jack and Jill fell down the hill and Humpty-Dumpty could not be put back together again.

You’re not going to beat life into submission to your will. Just do the very best you can whatever life tosses your way. Call to you what you would love, and then let it go.

Desire that you are a free spirit and resilient to whatever comes. Persist in loving life. Don’t toss life away because of anything. You are to live life and be a good sport about it. Any diatribe you go on about the injustice of life isn’t going to make any difference. All you can do is to look at life and your place in life differently. This will change how you breathe. This will change your outlook. You can stand taller. You can stop from putting yourself down. You can stand up beside life and you can give goodness and mercy to life.

By the way, you can give as much energy into the welcome gifts that life pours on you as you have to the errors you perceive. You can give life half a chance. You can even applaud life because you are alive in it. You don’t applaud life for a reward, even as applauding life is its own reward. You are not trying to bribe life. You are not patting life’s back so it may pat yours. Do as you do because it is yours to do. It is the only thing you can do to be fair to life.

You are blessed to be alive on Earth. Stop thinking otherwise. Sprint uphill and downhill. However life changes before your very eyes, take the good in it and run with it. Be fair with life. Be a booster to life and everyone in it.

If there is a tree you don’t like the looks of, you don’t kick it. If your wife doesn’t make supreme coffee, still, you drink it graciously. And if life deals you what the whole world may say is a bad hand, wrest the best out of it you can. You are part of life. You are not here to redo or undo life. You are here to soar and, along the way, inspire others.

Do not dismiss the power of inspiration. Do not dismiss your place in the sun. Keep your place in the sun regardless of anything. Even with what the world calls blows, life goes on, and so must you.
