What is Your Impression of Your Future?

Are you delighted when you think about your future? Stop for a moment and check out your most likely future. Do you see yourself happy, healthy, and creative? ? With a bright, sharp mind? With great relationships? Serene? Sensitive to the Soul's presence? Aware of its guidance toward this future? Do you see yourself deeply joyful? Achieving your highest goals? Learning new skills? Teaching something that you know? 

Once we are standing in light of the soul, we feel a profound sense of our future. We feel enthused about the future of our world as well. The light of the soul reveals the traits within our personalities to eliminate, and new ones to add.

We  have friends in their 80's and 90's who enjoy taking singing lessons or dancing, who keep challenging their minds to learn more, to make better use of their time, and to be more useful in the world. They travel to distant countries, sometimes to train emerging women leaders in Afghanistan or engineers in Kenya. They stand as role models for all of us.

It is tempting to think that they are just lucky. Yet they have recognized the simple requirements of the body and mind. They eat fresh the fruits and vegetables, nuts, and omega 3 seafood that nutritionists recommend. They turn down most processed foods to avoid hidden sugars. They faithfully follow a daily exercise program. They have a sense of purpose, of making a difference in the world, no matter how small that difference may be. One mother of five recently enrolled at a local junior college to take advanced math courses. She felt that solving these equasions would be wonderfully challenging for her brain after 12 years of home schooling her children. 

The first step in changing unconscious expectations about our remaining years (after 40) is to realize that we can create a healthy and energetic life, an energetic, resilient mind and body. It is never too early.to begin, and it is never too late.

Here are a few practical steps for creating a great future. Add more as you think of them.

1. Set your intention for the life you want, and visualize a happy, expanded, purpose-filled life.

2. Use your creative imagination to create your future (including body and mind) as the most creative, joyful and enriching life you can imagine.

3. Strech your vision to sense the divine within each person you meet and all those you know. Speak to the divine point of light within others. A finer love and light exist within all of us.

4. Let go of our past experiences and let new ones come forth to teach us greater wisdom.

5. Release the habit of telling others where they are missing the boat to a great life. When they see us living a great life, they will watch our every word and deed to see how we are doing it.

6. Ignore all fearful messages about the world. Humanity is going through a crisis as they take an initiation into greater light. The world conflict is the outcome of the the personality and soul struggle to prevail. As a personalitiy we are selfish and desire material things. As the soul, we offer all that we know and have. Humanity is beginning to stand in massed intent for universal freedom, for order and happiness.

7. Consciously create and then celebrate a beautiful future for your life. Celebrate an emerging civilization of goodwill and cooperation spreading around the planet.

Link with the soul. Ask for guidance about your future, and sit in utter silence for 15 minutes. Do this every day until you can see which images are lighted up. Create several images for your future and project these images on the screen of your mind.
