An Angelic Reflection

“Those who do what they love are in tune with their purpose on earth.”

This was the message that Alberto received yesterday when asking the Universe for guidance. He had randomly chosen a book from the shelf and opened to this page, the full details of which are at the end of this entry.

We had been debriefing from our latest event, and looking at the ways in which we can do things better.

We also admitted that it was, at times, difficult to maintain our positive energy and vision, and to not allow the fears of others to influence who we are.

Because of low attendance figures at the show, we witnessed around us all manner of techniques to get the few customers who were there to make a purchase…and not all of them felt very good. The fear of not making enough money to even cover costs was palpable.

At the same time, several authors and artists were expressing their frustration at having to create crowd-pleasing work to attract customers because those same customers were not buying their unique creations. The fear of not being able to make a living being your authentic self and selling your own unique creations was also there.

It’s funny….the more you think you’ve healed something, the more it reveals itself in subtle manners to really see if you have indeed healed.

Of course, Alberto and I can have illustrations and material that cater to fans of these events. It’s not a question of ability. It’s always come down to one question for us: is what you are doing an expression of who you are?

We know that our work is an expression of who we are, and that our greater purpose – not only at events, but anywhere – is to stand confidently in that knowing. No need to defend. No need to convince. Simply to express.

The doubt appears merely to remind us that we are not standing in that place of knowing.

So, I went around to those artists who shared their frustrations with me, and reminded them of the beauty of their creations, that they are here to express that and honour the sacred gift that only they possess to bring that beauty into the world. And as I spoke those words, I could feel the fog lifting, and a calm knowing settling.

The message from the angels was a powerful confirmation of the path that we choose to continue walking, even when we sometimes stumble and forget.

One step at a time…

“Too many of us have been brought up to believe that work is not meant to be enjoyed, let alone loved. Work is meant to give us a paycheck , not excite, energize or fulfill us.

The angels, however, know that the opposite is true.

Not only can we earn a living doing what we love; we owe it to ourselves to pursue that end.

When we find ourselves in jobs we dislike, that frustrate, sadden or otherwise enervate us, our souls are telling us that that we just aren’t in the right place.

When we are doing what we love, by contrast, we feel and radiate joy and enthusiasm, improving not only our own lives but also our environments.

The angels want us to know that our LOVING can be our living, and they will instantly answer our requests for help and guidance in aligning our souls with our sources of income.

Do you believe that you can make a living doing what you love?

If you would like to believe this, make a list of the jobs you have enjoyed and the ones you haven’t. Try to find the distinguishing features within each category. When you have discovered what jobs made you happy and why, fashion the perfect job for yourself, using all the positive elements you’ve listed.

Now, visualize yourself in this job, believe that you will have it, and ask the angels to send you the energy and opportunities you need to create it.

An Angelic Reflection: When I do what I love, I create the kind of environment in which abundance flourishes.”

From the book “Angel Wisdom” by Terry Lynn Taylor and Mary Beth Crain
