Making Change Possible

If an angel came down and whispered into your ear, "Change these few things, and you will get everything you are looking for," what would you do? Naturally you would change.

But how would you know what to change?

If you find the behaviors you think are "impossible" to change, you'll have your answer.

Yes, if you have an addiction you're not facing, overcoming it may be the single, solitary thing you need to do to open the gates of harmony and blessing in your life. But because your Opponent knows your weakness and how it blocks your Light, it convinces you there is nothing you can do about it. Or it makes the thought of trying seem overwhelming. Or it scapegoats other behaviors, taking the focus off the real culprit.

Last week, I wrote that when we talk to people, we want to talk to their souls, not their reactions. By the same token, addiction (or any dysfunctional behavior) is also a reaction. If we wish to uproot it permanently, we must look beneath it to the cause level - lack.

We must find the lack we are trying to fill.


This week, a great exercise to get you started is listing the things that are hardest for you to change. Sometimes I give you tasks to help drive a spiritual principle home, and I wonder how many of us take the time to do them.

So this week, I'm going to ask you to hit reply and share with me your list. Once you do, find moments throughout the week to sit with your list and think:

What is really making me act this way?

What lack is the behavior trying to fill?

I look forward to reading your responses. I hope by holding you accountable to doing this, you will reach a greater level of clarity and finally realize that the angels have been talking to you all along.

Shower of Blessings,
