Timely: as of late I’ve begun noticing how I had become stuck in the “what is” of life. Trying to figure out the HOW’S to accomplish what I desire and hoping to change people and situations to fit what I desired. Of course everything is a part of me, mirroring back to me what I am. It’s great to have this big hall of mirrors in which to observe myself. As Ghandi says “Be the change you wish to see in the world”.

Leading By Example DailyOM

We all know from experience that we can’t change other people, yet most of us have a tendency to try. This is because we naturally feel the need to do something to change situations that we find troubling. It often doesn’t occur to us that the best way to create change is not to try to convince others to change but to change ourselves. When we make adjustments from within, we become role models for others, and leading by example is much more inspiring than a lecture or an argument.

We sometimes look outside ourselves for what’s wrong with the world, but the outside world is really just a mirror reflecting us back to ourselves. When we encounter negativity—anger, depression, fear—we empower ourselves by looking for its roots inside of ourselves. For example, if you have a friend who is unreliable, observe yourself and notice if there are ways in which you are unreliable. You may be surprised to discover that you have your own struggles with this issue in ways you weren’t able to see. Once you own the issue for yourself, you can begin to work for change within yourself. This will also enable you to have more compassion for your friend. At the very least, as you strive to become more reliable, you will become more of the person you want to be. In the best-case scenario, you will be an inspiration to others.

You can apply the same method to larger issues. For example, if there is something you see in the larger world that you would like to change—let’s say, greed—try taking responsibility for changing it in yourself. Instead of being angry with those you see as greedy, seek out the roots of your own greed and come to terms with your power to transform it. This may be the best way to lead the world toward greater moderation and generosity.

Daily Wisdom from CoffeyTalk.com

“You may choose your word like a connoisseur, And polish it up with art, But the word that sways, and stirs, and stays, Is the word that comes from the heart.” -Ella Wheeler Wilcox, 1906

When we communicate, we want to choose our words carefully to be sure that we are completely understood. And yet, when we want to express our feelings, sometimes it helps to just let those feelings flow, to think with our hearts more than with our heads. The words that come from our hearts are so true and real that they can’t help but have an effect on anyone who hears them. -Lissa Coffey

Question: “Dear Kryon, thank you for your teachings and for touching my heart. Being aware that doubting is an issue for me, I can’t help having this question in my mind for some time and I long to receive your comment on this. So let’s co-create an answer to my seemingly silly but true question: Am I allowing or am I being lazy? Thank you for your attention and care.” - Amsterdam

Kryon Answer: “Dear one, neither. You are co-creating doubt! Who said that co-creation was always in one direction? Many co-create darkness and negativity, and even depression. It’s knowing how powerful you are that is the key.

“So… answer this first: Do you believe that you can co-create anything at all? There is actual comedy in this, in that each day you co-create your reality… dark or light. Some of you enhance it daily, telling your cellular structure that you are “never going to make it,” and actually giving it directions and a time of demise!

“Do you believe that what you think and do can cause reactions in matter and your own cellular structure? If not, then that is your reality, and you have created it very well. If you do believe you can change matter, then you also understand that what you do and say can be designed to start changing your reality. Thousands have done it, so this is not a mystery.

“Being lazy is also an issue too! (That’s why you asked it) Just like exercise. If you just sit there and do nothing, will “nothing” be the result? The answer is unfortunately, no. Instead the energy of whatever is your reality will reinforce itself and continue. A body in trouble will continue its troubled ways and build upon that scenario until death. A mind without direction will go to the most common level of consciousness, often one that is shaped not by your intent, but by those around you and their influential energy.

“Blessed is the Human who asks: “Can I really change things?” That is the Human who is most apt to try to do it! Here are some helpful hints:

1. Start each day with an affirmation out loud so that your own ears hear it, and so it goes right into your cellular structure.

Here is suggested one: “I am a piece of creation. I have created my current reality, and will create all of what I experience in the future. Therefore all that is before is my doing. Today I choose to raise my awareness. Today I choose to slow down the aging clock in my cells, and create divinity in my daily workings. Today I instruct my cellular structure to vibrate to my intent and directions. I create a peaceful balance in all things, everywhere I walk.”

1. Never beat yourself up! Everything you say is “heard” by your cells!

Even at your lowest ebb, don’t do it. Instead, say: “I thank Spirit for giving me the ability to know that all this is temporary. I am peaceful in my power.” Then wait for the pendulum of depression or sickness to correct itself. It will.

1. Even if you doubt that you are making a difference, do it!

Your duality is built to be biased in these things. Let the results support you. Your intellect will kick into high gear when it sees things changing in your life. Just like exercise… when you start to see the results, you won’t doubt it any more! -Kryon

Negative Pull DailyOM

Sometimes we start out with the best intentions to think and speak only positive thoughts, but the people around us throw us off course. Not everyone fully understands the power our thoughts and words have, or even if they do, they may be stuck in old patterns of negativity. Much of our habitual communication takes the form of complaining and criticizing, and it can be hard to find a way into certain conversations without lapsing into those old habits. However, we always have the option not to participate in negativity or to find a way to influence the situation in a positive direction. In the right company, you may even be able to directly acknowledge the fact that things have taken a negative turn, thus freeing yourself and others from the negative pull.

Not everyone will respond to your cues, and there’s no need to become overly attached to the idea of changing other people, because people have to choose for themselves how they will be in the world. Many people choose negativity because it is familiar to them and feels safe. It is important to give people the space to find their own way, but you can always set an example, subtly representing the power of being positive. At times you may interject an affirmative statement into the conversation, and at others you may simply change the subject. You may also simply withdraw your energy and presence, which also makes a subtle statement. If you feel comfortable enough with somebody that is always negative, perhaps you can have an honest conversation with them; after all, awareness is the first step to change.

A powerful way to free yourself from the negative pull is to enlist allies who are similarly minded. You and a friend, coworker, or family member may agree to work together to continually shift the energy in a situation in a positive direction. The power of two people working to promote the positive is exponentially greater than one person working on their own. As you and your allies work together to lift the energy around you, you will be amazed to see how quickly the positive pull begins to draw people into its orbit, freeing one mind after another from negativity into light.
