Yes, it's nice to feel free, and yes, it's nice to have money, or a wide open afternoon where you can do whatever you want, but you can feel free without having money, and you can feel free without having a wide open afternoon. You can decide you want to create more money, and you can decide you want to create more free time, and all the time that you're choosing and learning how to create more money and create more free time, you can still feel happy and free long before you've discovered how to create more money or how to create a wide open afternoon every other day. You are always free to think what you want, and you can realize that all the things that feel limiting to you, and that feel like they're pinning you down and holding you back are just circumstances or situations that you have invested in as having the power to make you happy. Now, we want to say something that's really important, so please take it in. Discovering you are a soul living in a human form does not make life perfect. It does not give you the experience of never feeling challenged, or never feeling that life goes up and down. You are not here to have an arrival into some blissful state of being and never feel anything else. Please, if you want to start to live fully and freely, give up this idea of a destination, of an arrival. This idea of an arrival in which your human life no longer has all this variation, there is only one way to arrive that way. It's death. It's not life. If you want to have a sense of arrival in your human life, then die. If you want to have a sense of adventure, then live, and if you intend to live, which we sense all of you do, then expect variation. Expect that you can always choose to think differently, and look at life in ways that feel good to you. As you all know, it's always possible to find something to smile about. It's always possible to find the silver lining in any moment. It's always possible to find a way to make things different in your experience. Making things different is not the same as having a specific feeling. We want you to start disentangling this idea that circumstances and situations create the way you feel. They don't have to, although they might have for a long time, because you gave that power away. You are free to feel the way you want right now, and then to create the life you want from that state of being. Imagine how much fun it might be to go about learning and facing the challenges of life, feeling the way you want? Feeling the way you want now, not waiting for some moment, not denying yourself the joy of that feeling until you've accomplished some certain thing, but instead choosing to feel that way now and enjoying that feeling state as you go about the experience of creating your life. We'd like you to think about this today. We'd like you to think about how you might further untangle the way you want to feel from the things you'd like to create. Not only is it beneficial for manifesting to feel better, but it's just self loving. If you want to feel in particular ways, make those feeling states a priority, and use those elevated feeling states, because we assume most of you would choose elevated feeling states, use the experience of those elevated feeling states to create a happy life. From that happy life learn and develop in the ways that interest you, but start to disentangle the idea that circumstances and situations create your sense of freedom and happiness, and take back that power, and be the sovereign beings you intended to be. :Archangel Michael
