Earth School

Earth is like a school. Your attention is a channel for growth. Before we are born, we enter into destiny agreements with other souls we know. It's like agreeing to meet a friend for lunch in Paris when you know you will both be there at the same place and at the same time. The game plan can change, there is always choice. But life makes alot more sense this way. Knowing you came into it with certain "contracts" to fill with other souls, for mutual growth, theirs and yours.
The purpose of life is to realize our potential and to help the planet evolve. With this idea in mind, you can create a much more interesting and fulfilling life. Think back on some of your deepest associations with the people in your life. What was the outcome? Or what is the outcome thus far? It's an interesting reflection to find what the lesson in it is for you. It helps you become better acquainted with yourself and what you are and aren't. Some lessons really make us suffer. But you will find that with this new awareness-your brand new consciousness of yourself, so to speak and some diligent practice, you can learn to grow more deeply, quickly and painlessly. Not all lessons require suffering. Usually the suffering is tied in with our own unconsciousness of what's happening. We have acquired a habit of projecting all our cares and woes onto  "the other".
It is time to put this silliness to rest once and for all. You are responsible for everything in your life. Now there may be some really horrific things that one would say I never would have created this. But the one and only thing we can control is us. It's hard! But the only control you have in life is your reaction to the things you have scripted. We all have forgotten that we scripted this story before we came in so we could have lessons to reach our fullest potential and help others to do so as well. If something isn't workin' for you, CHANGE YOUR MIND!
It's truly amazing how invested people are in their own drama. The three reasons why people continue to suffer when they know better and could change are because they are too lazy to make the effort, they love their own drama and wouldn't want to part with it for the world and/or they are too afraid of the unknown.
You never know exactly what a change entails and the uncertainty is very scarey to some, ie: the devil you know is better than the devil you don't know. The reality is whenever you are going into the unknown anything is possible. Anything! That is fabulous! It's infinite! Once you know something it becomes limited, it's encapsulated. The unknown is sublimely full of billions of possibilities. It's an excellent opportunity to be creative and select the things you do want in your life. But you have to have awareness and exercise choice. You have to pay attention, focus and make an effort.
