Today is the first day of the rest of your life! No matter what has passed or what is to come, today is the day you can make changes for the better, if that is what you need or desire. No-one can change your life but you — you have made your decisions, spoken your words and done your deeds. You are living the life you have chosen and you are responsible for your situation, no matter how it came about or who else was involved.

As inflammatory as these remarks may seem and despite the ire they may cause, the fact remains that all people on Earth act and react in accordance to their self-belief systems and conditioning through childhood, school, peer and societal influences. The desire to be liked, to fit in, to have friends or to gain approval may all contribute to decisions that have either negative or positive consequences. Personal grief, emotional trauma, physical, mental or emotional abuse, lack of nurturing, deprivation and poverty — all of these and more can lead to lack of self-love, confidence and sense of self. Like a self-fulfilling prophesy, the subsequent behaviours continue the cycle and people find themselves in situations that seem to have been thrust upon them by others but which, in reality they have attracted through their negative beliefs about and lack of love for themselves.

Making positive changes in your life is as simple as recognising that they need to be made. Staying in denial will only perpetuate the cycle and the possibility of making the same mistakes, attracting the wrong type of people, lack of financial abundance, continuing illness or the continuation of the cycle of abuse. Whatever it is that needs changing or lifting from your psyche may not be evident or transparent, for instance, emotional trauma can present as physical symptoms that have seemingly no cause. Sometimes you may need assistance from a healer, psychic or counsellor to help you to unravel the cause of your issues. Trust that it is worth the time and effort to do so because, when you are free of emotional trauma and past baggage you are free to get on with your life without any extra burden.

The world is weighed down with people’s negativity which is resulting in major upheavals on a global scale. As enormous as the problems of the world may be, the impact of each and every individual who releases their emotional burdens and brings in the light of the Creator cannot be underestimated. The more you let go of the past and of the negative beliefs you have about yourself the more light you let in and shine out. When you heal yourself you also heal the world around you. It is that simple.

I AM Saint Germain

Blessings to you all.
