There is a momentum in life. Sometimes you run up a hill, and sometimes you fly down a hill. You have a certain momentum in life. Sometimes the more uphill your journey is, the higher your energy lifts you up. Perhaps obstacles move you right along and get you hopping.

An easy life is perhaps what you might like for only so long, for resistance in your life gets you moving. Were everything to go your way, perhaps you would be like a sluggard sitting there with your feet up, waiting for all the goodies to come to you without your lifting a finger.

Too often your life does not seem to be your choice, yet, for all practical purposes, you may be choosing exactly what you get. You may see previews. You may partly know what’s coming when you stay as you are, and yet you stay. You saw the warning signs, yet you went ahead anyway. You practiced self-determination and were foiled.

Have no regrets. If you chose one path instead of another, no matter what hindsight says, you fulfilled something. Sure, you may have put yourself in a spot, and now you have a precise path before you to shake loose.

You have heard there is a reason for everything. Sometimes you can see a reason or possible reasons, and sometimes you simply can’t. You defy the turn in the road you took, and forget that you had choices, even as you may have chosen by default. No one put you against the wall.

Holding yourself responsible does not mean you are to feel guilt-laden. Guilt is a much lesser state of consciousness than responsibility. Responsibility holds you accountable. Somehow you got here, and now it is your choice to find a way out, or, if not out, a way to accommodate a choice you made earlier without understanding the ramifications. By and large, you caused yourself to land in one place instead of another. You are your own prow.

In one sense, everyone is blind. And, everyone, sooner or later, begins to see more clearly. For the most part, you may be the culprit in your life, and you carry the responsibility for your scrapes and bruises.

Follow your heart. Before you can follow your heart, you are called upon to find out the direction your heart really wants to go in. Take responsibility before the fact.

You have limitless choices before you. Two advices are: Look before you leap. Another is: Throw cautions to the wind. Beloveds, in terms of the world, you can be trust-based or fear-based. Which do you imagine works better?

Always look before you cross the street. Every time. Because you looked last time doesn’t apply to this time. You are responsible to know what you are doing and where you are going. Not from the weight of fear, however, do you.

Whoever you are, and wherever you are, whether or not you see yourself as worthy or unworthy, this is My advice to you:

"Don’t look over your shoulder. Don’t look back. Forgo the past, and move right along."

You may well want to know your future before the fact. You may crave to know with exactitude everything that is going to happen. You may think how lovely it would be for you to know your future, even when your future might not be what you wanted. You want to get ready for all that will come, as if you can really prepare ahead of time for all that will occur in your life.

Look to the good, beloveds. Bet on the good. Prepare for the good. Set your heart in the direction you want to go in, and simply set sail.
