Light is energy. You are made of light. You are energy. Remember when you were excited about life and you leaped out of bed, so eager were you to get going. You may have great purpose now, and yet you might like stay in bed.

Return to the days when you are excited about what the day will bring, when you are smooth-running, when life becomes an inciting event, and you can’t wait to meet it.

Do you remember days like this when you could hardly wait for your day to begin? Something wonderful was going to enter your day. You were going to have a great surprise or even several great surprises. You knew today was a new day never lived before. You were eager to hop to it.

You didn’t formulate the words: “I am tired.”

You would wake up in the morning, and you didn’t want to go back to sleep. You wanted to leap out of bed. You wanted to open the envelope.

This enlivenment was more than mood. It wasn’t exactly like Christmas where you knew gifts were coming.

This joy of life came from something inside you. Your favor wasn’t being bought. It wasn’t that you were waiting for a great promotion at work, or winning the lottery, though these are perfectly fine. There was something inside you that was raring to go. You were your own incentive.

You weren’t making the best of something, although that isn’t a bad idea either. There was something more. What gives you joy? Have something in mind simply for the joy of it. Perhaps do something you have never done before. Yes, this is a good idea I am giving you.

Here is the thing: Happiness is yours. Joy in life is your birthright. If you are dragging, it’s possible that you have given up on life. You may have forgotten that you are entitled to joy. Perhaps you have the idea that life is sufferance, and you just put your time in, you go through the motions, and live life, as it were, just by your fingertips. You while away time, and you get through the day. Another day, another dollar.

Let’s get your spunk back. Regain your sense of excitement in life.

Perhaps you are playing it too safe, holding life too close to your chest as you might cards in a poker game. You are so anxious to keep your life to yourself that you forget for a while that you have a purpose here on Earth, a purpose without limits. Go for it!

Limits don’t usually give you joy. There is some way to lift your heart higher than the daily grind. What a wasteful expression that is. Daily grind. Putting in your hours. What kind of ambition is that?

If you find yourself with the idea that life is just to get through and be done with, I wave My finger No. Sadness and unrequited dreams do take place in life, yet you are not to stop there.

Hoping is passive. Life requires more than hope. Life requires more than entertainment. Entertainment is a stop-gap. It doesn’t require enough of you.

There is something in you to come forth. Life – your life – has to be more than a surface experience. There is a way for you to refuel yourself and speed ahead.

When you are tired and yearn to stay in bed, it is very possible that you will do well to do more and not less. You may have to spend more energy. Maybe energy is like love, and the more you spend, the more you will have.

If you require a new lease on life, sign one. Start anew, beloveds.
