    Peacefulness  •  3 min read
    DAY 31 of 55: Aspect #25

    “You cannot find peace by avoiding life.”

    ~ Virginia Woolf

    ESSENCE: Peacefulness will emerge throughout the world.

    PEACEFULNESS is a state of tranquility and calm, free from disturbance or conflict. It is often associated with feelings of harmony, contentment, and well-being.

    Peacefulness can describe our inner state and our outer environment. Internally, peacefulness is a sense of emotional and mental serenity, often characterized by a lack of stress, anxiety, or worry. Externally, peacefulness refers to an environment that is free from chaos, hostility, or violence.

    As humans, one of our superpowers is the ability to remain calm and peaceful, regardless of what’s happening in the outside world. Our ability to achieve this takes tremendous strength and Self-awareness. Even so, there are times, particularly in emergency situations, when our emotions get out of whack. During these chaotic instances, the wise and strong ones know how to calm their bodies and clear their heads in order to best handle themselves with confidence and peacefulness.

    Cultivating peacefulness is a wise daily practice if our intention is to remain clear and confident, confident and bold. Ways to cultivate peacefulness include mindfulness and meditation practices, living a healthy lifestyle, sustaining positive relationships, dealing with conflict resolution, engaging with community, and supporting environmental stewardship. Peacefulness is an essential component for living a balanced, fulfilling, harmonious, and joyful life.

    Sleeping Souls tend to feel agitated, stressed, and/or disturbed when drama arises. Many hardly experience peacefulness, and if they do, it may include a few glasses of wine or a few puffs of weed to help them relax. Sleeping Souls tend to be rather wound up, living with anxiety throughout their days. Externally, they may act cool as a cucumber, even though internally they are an emotional mess. Many Sleeping Souls are programmed to seek pleasure and avoid pain. Some begin to seek.

    Seekers tend to be seeking peacefulness. Many have had life experiences of ongoing struggle, continually fighting for survival. One day they had enough, and they started to explore new ways of life. They know there is more to life than struggle. Yet they have grown to realize that living a fulfilling life means embracing all life experiences as they are, thus avoiding the tendency to relish the good times and discount, or even deny, the bad times. Seekers embrace life as it is.

    Awakened are peaceful. Many tend to perceive their inner peacefulness as among their greatest qualities. They tend to let go of the past, choosing to be fully aware in the present, while remaining confident about their future. Many are calm and centered amid the chaos of the noisy world around them. Awakened have experienced the power of allowing the outcome to naturally unfold by surrendering their personal will to Divine will….

    DAILY AFFIRMATION

    I experience inner peace
    as a result of doing my inner work.

    INSIGHTS

    Do you consider yourself a peaceful person?

    Do others view you as being peaceful?

    How can you make your life more peaceful?

    Divine Will  •  3 min read
    DAY 32 of 55: Aspect #26

    “All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen.”

    ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

    ESSENCE: Divine will allows an outcome. Personal will imposes an outcome.

    Divine Will is a perspective of the Creator having a plan for humanity and a desire to see this plan fulfilled. Divine will allows an outcome, while personal will tends to impose one. Energetically speaking, Divine will and personal will are opposites. Personal will pushes. Divine will pulls.

    Western societies are embedded in personal will; Eastern societies practice Divine will. Personal will is a demonstration of fear; Divine will is a demonstration of faith. Personal will derives from the ego in one’s mind; Divine will derives from the opening of one’s heart. The Creator desires us to allow Divine will to reshape how we humans live on Earth, manifesting a New Earth Civilization.

    Nonetheless, humanity must go through extreme darkness to get to the Light…. From the political divide of the United States, to the illegal immigrants crossing our border. From BlackRock’s intention of owning and oppressing the world, to the assassination attempts on Donald Trump. From the Russia-Ukraine war, to the Israel-Hamas war. From the threat of a nuclear World War III, to the mounting tensions with China and the Middle East. From the forest fires in California, to the explosion of Yellowstone’s Biscuit Basin…. most of humanity is frozen in fear. It’s time we thaw out by trusting the Divine order of life, surrendering to Divine will.

    Sleeping Souls tend to live in their minds. Many get ahead through imposing their personal wills. Because of their forceful actions, society tends to ironically label them positively as achievers, go-getters, and leaders—validating and supporting their aggressive actions. For many, the thought of allowing Divine will to determine the outcome is ridiculous, because it means surrendering control. Many Sleeping Souls must control. And most times, their need to control is fueled by their fears, insecurities, lack of faith, and/or lack of trust. Some begin to seek.

    Seekers generally have learned that Divine will directs the Divine order of life in the perfect Universe. They understand that Sleeping Souls imposing their personal wills add energetic resistance to the equation, disrupting the Divine flow of life on Earth. Seekers tend to examine how to get in sync with the patterns that allow their bodies to find their own rhythm without adding any resistance. In other words, through spiritual practice, they allow their bodies to come into harmony with the Divine flow, living according to Divine will.

    Awakened tend to know that if the world‘s people simply moved their egos out of their minds through opening their hearts, choosing to listen through deep, reflective meditation, trusting what they heard, while allowing Divine will to unfold in their lives, we would instantly begin to eXpand into the new paradigm of conscious and regenerative living, bringing about peace and harmony throughout the world. It is then that our rhythm and internal timing will be in sync with the Earth’s heartbeat. Awakened realize that most humans are out of step with their body’s natural rhythm. In other words, their heart, body, and mind are out of balance with their Spirit energy and Soul. A global realignment is necessary to move into a harmonious flow with Nature and the Universe. Awakened have also come to realize that living in alignment with the spiritual realm, allowing Divine will to unfold their lives, requires bravery and a tremendous amount of patience….

    DAILY AFFIRMATION

    I surrender my personal will to Divine will.

    INSIGHTS

    What are your thoughts about synchronicities?

    Do you have a tendency to impose your will to get what you want?

    Do you have the confidence to allow Divine will to determine the outcome of your life?

    Patience  •  3 min read
    DAY 33 of 55: Aspect #27

    “I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion.
    These three are your greatest treasures.”

    ~ Lao Tzu

    ESSENCE: Living with Divine will requires patience.

    Patience is the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset. Patience is a virtue, which is a behavior showing high moral standards. Patience requires trusting the Creator’s pace. Along with forgiveness, patience is among our greatest powers, and is one in which many of us need to strengthen.

    In our modern world, patience has really waned. The increasing speed of technology and artificial intelligence, along with an emphasis on convenience, has made the world very impatient. The pace of our lives has continued to
    increase, while our moral standards have decreased. Short-term gains and immediate gratification prevail.

    The brutal media continually reinforce ongoing violence, sexual lust, inequality, discrimination, materialism, and separateness, while doing next to nothing to promote goodness, simplicity, compassion, and well-being. They have also created a superficial world living in denial of its own power, fueled by the corporatocracy. Our impatience and desire for immediate, short-term results, combined with our disregard of long-term ramifications, has led us right to where we are today, which is literally at the brink of an intentionally triggered global economic collapse in order to centralize political, social, and economic control.

    Every thought, idea, emotion, behavior, and action have coalesced to create our impatient world at the present time, in 2024. Just know that all of this chaos throughout the world shall pass, like clouds floating across the sky. Divine will and patience are the swords that will slay the evil dragons.

    Sleeping Souls tend to be rather impatient. Many of their mindsets are fixated on immediate gratification. Many fill their days seeking what they want now, regardless of future consequences. Many are impatient with their kids, bosses, parents, teachers, classmates, customers, clients, coworkers, and friends. Impatience rules their lives. Some begin to seek.

    Seekers tend to learn patience through aligning with Divine will, and realizing the Universe evolves infinitely and at a very slow pace. They learn the definition of Divine timing, which means that an event occurs in Divine order at the perfect time. Seekers learn that by living fully in the present time and enjoying life as it is, they allow Divine will to unfold naturally in their lives. Therefore, they live with the awareness that everything occurs in Divine timing, which requires patience.

    Awakened tend to be patient and tolerant people. Their open-heartedness enables them to embrace the differences of others, and helps them to relate to others regardless of where they are on their personal journeys. Awakened tend to plant many seeds of opportunity, and then allow each one to grow in Divine timing. Awakened realize that patience is not waiting for things to fall into their laps. Rather, inspired action is required to manifest their dreams, which requires the application of bravery….

    DAILY AFFIRMATION

    I listen to the rhythm of my Soul.
    And I trust the Creator’s pace.

    INSIGHTS

    Are you a more patient person now than when you were younger?

    In what instances are you patient?

    When are you impatient?

    Do you know that being patient is a powerful strength?

    Bravery  •  3 min read
    DAY 34 of 55: Aspect #28

    “The bravest are surely those who have the clearest
    vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike,
    and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it.”

    ~ Thucydides

    ESSENCE: Bravery is required to carry out our life purpose.

    Bravery is courageous behavior or character. Bravery is required when carrying out our life purpose, as there will be many challenges along the way.

    Bravery provides us the strength to charge ahead, taking action in a positive way. The mindset of conscious and regenerative living is that unless everybody does well, nobody does well. In our self-indulgent, modern world, this may be a hard pill to swallow, but it is a necessary cure for the state of planetary health today. Sustaining this mindset takes bravery, as many people remain out for themselves. Bravery will prevail, leading us to a New Earth Civilization.

    Sleeping Souls tend to use their bravery in destructive ways, including being judgmental, vindictive, callous, controlling, and/or cunning. Many Sleeping Souls are in need of bravery to break free from the shackles of limitation. They must take bold actions to create positive changes in their lives. For many, redirecting their bravery by focusing this energy in productive ways will move them toward living more joyous and prosperous lives. Some begin to seek.

    Seekers tend to realize that it takes courage to grow to their next level of eXpansion, displaying their bravery through focus, patience, gratitude, and selflessness. They tend to disregard pettiness in their world, not through anger but through living their truths with a compassionate understanding for those who remain asleep. Seekers tend to lead by example, exhibiting their truth and bravery.

    Awakened tend always to be on alert to call upon their inner resources, having the willingness to take on the challenges of their present situations with bravery. They realize that their only barrier to advancement is their refusal to acknowledge the strength they possess within. Fortunately, most Awakened exhibit their strength through bravery, dealing with their challenges in a forthright manner. They realize the benefit of continuously addressing their challenges in present time, enabling them to be even more self-confident in future situations. Awakened tend to be fearless in pursuit of their life purpose, realizing their spiritual journey requires a tremendous amount of bravery, strength, and patience, combined with unending perseverance….

    DAILY AFFIRMATION

    I live my life with bravery.

    INSIGHTS

    Do others think you are brave? Who? Why?

    What is one thing that you can do today that requires bravery?

    Perseverance  •  3 min read
    DAY 35 of 55: Aspect #29

    “Grit is that ‘extra something’ that separates the
    most successful people from the rest.
    It’s the passion, perseverance,
    and stamina that we must channel in order to stick
    with our dreams until they become a reality.”

    ~ Travis Bradberry

    ESSENCE: Perseverance illuminates the pathway to success.

    Perseverance is doing something despite difficulty and/or delay in achieving success. Perseverance is the strength we have to help carry us through difficult times. Perseverance is an intangible muscle, as the more we use it, the stronger it gets. We must adopt a never quit mindset.

    The illusion that money solves life’s problems is just that, an illusion. Meaning, wealthy people encounter challenges too. The point is, every single human needs perseverance to thrive in life on Earth. There are no exceptions.

    Sleeping Souls tend to view problems as problems, adding more negativity to their lives. Many tend to hesitate, and not persevere, due to the fear of the unknown. Many persevere in areas that may not serve them well, such as dwelling on the negative, constantly complaining, gossiping about others, and/or being obsessed about making money at the expense of ignoring their families, friends, and the Earth. Whereas others persevere in their careers, only to end up disengaged with their work, company, and/or colleagues. Many feel stuck in a job and life they despise. They feel powerless. Some begin to seek.

    Seekers tend to view problems as challenges, eXpanding their perspectives to see, what otherwise could be viewed in a negative context is rather viewed in a positive context. They generally know that they are here for a certain purpose, and therefore, cannot stop moving toward their goals. Their inner knowing fuels their perseverance, and they have come to realize that a secret ingredient to success is to persevere, to never quit.

    Awakened tend to persevere with grace and ease. This is due to being in alignment with their heart, body, mind, Spirit, and Soul. In this way, they naturally attract the resources required to manifest their true heart’s desires and fulfill their life purpose. They tend to avoid establishing preconceived timetables for when things will happen. Rather, they persevere with inspired action, enjoying the process of creation, with no attachment to the ultimate outcome. They know that attachment equals expectations, and expectations create energetic resistance, impeding their forward momentum. Awakened align themselves with the Divine flow, allowing the events in their lives to unfold according to Divine timing. They have learned that the best way to persevere is through having a high degree of gratitude…. our Self-awareness, awakens our inspiration, and unleashes our power from within. Inspiration is energy in action. Through taking inspired action, we will transcend to a new regenerative world, filled with love, joy, freedom, prosperity, and peace.

    DAILY AFFIRMATION

    I will continue to persevere on my journey
    until I manifest my true heart’s desires
    and fulfill my life purpose.

    INSIGHTS

    When times get challenging, is your natural tendency to persevere or to quit?

    Do you persevere in fulfilling your life purpose?

    What is one powerful example of when you wanted to quit but you persevered instead?

    DAY 36 of 55: Aspect #30

    “He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things
    which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.”

    ~ Epictetus

    ESSENCE: Gratitude is the foundation of happiness and prosperity.

    Gratitude is the quality of being thankful, the readiness to show appreciation for, and to return, kindness. Gratitude includes celebrating life and acknowledging the beauty and potential of one’s Self. Gratitude provides the basis for true happiness and prosperity to emerge.

    Many of us take our health for granted, until we get sick. Many of us take family and friends for granted, until someone close to us dies. Many of us reminisce about the good old days, yet at the time they didn’t feel so good. The point is, gratitude is generally realized after the fact, reflecting on the past.

    Our world is plagued with a lack of gratitude in the present moment. Perhaps it’s time for many of us to be grateful for what we do have, and stop comparing and complaining about what we don’t have. Perhaps we begin with being grateful for waking up this morning!

    Sleeping Souls tend to be so caught up in their drama-filled lives that gratitude is reserved for birthdays, Thanksgiving dinner, and religious holidays. Many Sleeping Souls rarely take the time to count their blessings—such as family, friends, food, health, shelter, love, fingers, toes, and senses. Many of them have difficulty expressing their true feelings of gratitude because they are living in their minds, not in their hearts. Gratitude emerges from an open heart. Many Sleeping Souls are extremely materialistic, never having enough, focusing on what they don’t have. The more selfish and greedy they tend to be, the less gratitude they tend to have in their lives; a strong correlation exists. Some begin to seek.

    Seekers tend to see the beauty of the world around them. Many will discover their renewed connection with Nature. Some will make watching the sunset a part of their day, and admiring the new and full moons a part of their month. Some will discover their renewed connection with family and other personal relationships. Seekers tend to express gratitude by letting other people know how much they appreciate them. Their foundation of gratitude eXpands. Their happiness and prosperity increase.

    Awakened tend to count their blessings every day. Gratitude is at the core of their existence. As they go through their day, they tend to acknowledge the gratitude they are experiencing: being grateful for waking up from sleep, being grateful when buying groceries, being grateful to spend time with family and/or friends, and being grateful when they secure a new client. They tend not to take anything or anyone for granted. Awakened realize that gratitude is the ultimate state of existence for receiving, gracefully attracting into their lives the experiences they desire. And through eXpanding their gratitude, they tend to become very humble….

    DAILY AFFIRMATION

    I am a peace with myself and am grateful in every aspect of my life.

    INSIGHTS

    Do you know that gratitude is the foundation of happiness?

    Do you spend time contemplating what you are grateful for?

    Do other people consider you a grateful person?

    Humility  •  3 min read
    DAY 37 of 55: Aspect #31

    “Humility does not mean thinking less of yourself
    than of other people, nor does it mean having a low
    opinion of your own gifts. It means freedom from
    thinking about yourself at all.”

    ~ William Temple

    ESSENCE: Learning humility is often a humbling process.

    Humility is a modest view of one’s own importance—a sense of humbleness often acquired through tremendous struggle. Humility comes from having an open heart. It involves being down-to-earth, not prideful or arrogant, while remaining open to, and learning from, one’s own limitations, mistakes, and (so-called) failures.

    Humility often enables a grounded state and a humble Self-awareness to coincide with success in life, and involves an eXpanded sense of Self and respect for others. Humility involves the avoidance of self-promotion, while not exaggerating one’s own abilities and/or achievements.

    Sleeping Souls have a tendency to adopt arrogance when they are successful in life, as their egos are in their minds, which means their hearts are closed. Too often, Sleeping Souls have a difficult time admitting mistakes, as their self-righteous attitudes convince them why they are right. Their tendency is to compare themselves to others through a lens of prestige, power, money, and control. For many Sleeping Souls, success breeds arrogance and self-righteousness from living in their ego mind. Some begin to seek.

    Seekers have a tendency to adopt humility when they are successful in life, as their hearts are opening wider and wider. They tend to learn that they must become humble, dropping their cynical ways. They realize that the wonder of life is alive in those who replace their fear with faith. Seekers generally learn to take responsibility for their mistakes without making excuses and/or blaming others. They learn that humility involves treating others with respect, regardless of their title, position, or status. Seekers tend to value other people’s
    perspectives and contributions. And with many Seekers, success breeds confidence.

    Awakened tend to be humble, living their lives with an open heart. For many, they haven’t always been this way. Rather, they’ve acquired wisdom through enduring extremely difficult times. As a result, they come out of those times a different person. Through wisdom, they have learned gratitude. Through gratitude, they have learned humbleness. And through humbleness, they have learned simplicity….

    DAILY AFFIRMATION

    I am humble and kind.

    INSIGHTS

    Are you humble? In what ways? Describe.

    When others describe you, is being humble a part of that description?

    Are you getting more or less humble as you age?

    Simplicity  •  3 min read
    DAY 38 of 55: Aspect #32

    “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”

    ~ Leonardo da Vinci

    ESSENCE: Simplify, simplify, simplify!

    Simplicity is the quality or condition of being easy to understand or do. Simplicity captures the ESSENCE of regenerative living; simple is good.

    Mahatma Gandhi wisely stated, “There is enough for everybody’s need, but not enough for anybody’s greed.” The abandonment of our materialistic mindsets is what’s called for at this time of our human evolution.

    Become practical. Contemplate every purchasing decision. Vote with our dollars. Eliminate debt. Ensure that our thoughts, emotions, decisions, behaviors, and actions align with the well-being of the Earth as well as Self and others. Reconnect with Nature. Reconnect with family and friends. Take contemplated risks. Live in the present time. And simplify, simplify, simplify!

    Sleeping Souls tend to feed right into the corporate marketing tactics that exploit the seven deadly sins—wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony—because that’s what sells. Violent movies, sexy advertisements, luxury cars, extravagant jewelry, cool sunglasses, designer handbags, and a host of other products all feed into the materialistic, self-indulgent wants of society. Many Sleeping Souls acquire so much stuff that their lives are filled with clutter. Some realize that a cluttered house is a cluttered mind. So they declutter their homes, as they begin to experience a sense of detachment from their stuff. This is when many Sleeping Souls come to realize that all their stuff is rather empty, and they begin to prefer a sense of freedom instead. Some begin to seek.

    Seekers tend to no longer want clutter in their lives. Some of them imagine that each possession they own has a golden cord attached to it that is connected to the heavens above. These cords surround them, so the more cords they have, the more constricted they feel. What becomes paramount in many Seekers’ lives is freedom—freedom to move around, freedom to have balance in life, freedom from debt, freedom from clutter. They tend to become very selective of their possessions, many times choosing increased freedom over stuff. With newfound freedom, many Seekers rediscover joy, happiness, love, and companionship, all of which have been long overdue.

    Awakened tend to live simply, enjoying the freedom of their lives. With their deemphasis on materialistic pursuits, time and energy opens up to nurture other aspects of life, such as relationships, physical activities, personal spiritual practices, hobbies, learning, reading, and napping. Many Awakened discover their ability to create and maintain deep and meaningful relationships with other people, doing so through a means of collaboration….

    DAILY AFFIRMATION

    I live my truth, as it protects me.

    INSIGHTS

    Are you truthful?

    Collaboration  •  3 min read
    DAY 39 of 55: Aspect #33

    “Teamwork divides the task and amplifies the success.”

    ~ Author Unknown

    ESSENCE: Collaboration multiplies the success.

    Collaboration is the action of working with other people to create something. Collaboration occurs with an open heart, and is an integral part of regenerative living.

    Separateness, competition, power, greed, and conformity led us to our COVID-19 global economic depression. What will change this economy is the banding together of conscious and regenerative leaders whose businesses are serving conscious consumers who vote with their dollars and hearts.

    Before too long, the corporatocracy will wane while a meritocracy prevails. Divine consciousness will return the economic and political power back to “We the People”!

    A conscious collaboration is emerging that is grounded in good intentions. Through behavioral economics we are able to create new regenerative markets by simply agreeing to change our behaviors, knowing that the economics will automatically follow. For instance, if we unite and agree to only purchase bottled water in 1 gallon jugs or larger, then the entire small bottled water industry, which creates loads of trash, will be wiped out.

    When we unite as One collective purchasing group, then we reclaim our power, forcing corporations to change their ways in order to meet our consumer demands.

    Sleeping Souls tend to have an every-man-for-himself mindset. The concept of replacing competition with collaboration is foreign for many of them, because they live in their minds, not in their hearts. The separation of races, religions, corporate cultures, political parties, and countries all stem from mind-centered egos and a lack of collaboration. Many Sleeping Souls compete in almost everything they do. Some thrive, while others become disillusioned and exhausted from competing all the time. Some begin to seek.

    Seekers generally become adept at sharing their abilities, resources, and experiences. They choose consciously and carefully to spend their energy in ways that are productive, avoiding relationships that are high in drama and/or energy draining. Many reevaluate those they have chosen as friends, and begin to establish connections with new acquaintances who tend to be fellow Seekers or Awakened because of their collaborative nature, openness, and broadened perspectives on life. They tend to realize quickly that their drama-filled lives are a part of their past. They are stepping into a new life of collaboration, sharing, kindness, compassion, and a host of other positive attributes.

    Awakened collaborate. Most tend to realize that “no man is an island,” as we all depend upon each other, influenced by Nature and the Universe. Because Awakened are open-hearted, they tend to not ignore the needs of the next seven generations. They are inclined to collaborate, developing new ideas and creating new innovations to live in harmony with ourselves, each other, and the Earth. Awakened tend to realize that for systemic change to occur, it must begin with a brilliant idea that morphs into a compelling vision….

    DAILY AFFIRMATION

    I work in collaboration with others
    to help fuel our collective success.

    INSIGHTS

    Is your tendency to work alone, or to work with others?

    Do you enjoy collaborating with others?

    DAY 40 of 55: Aspect #34

    “Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible’.”

    ~ Audrey Hepburn

    ESSENCE: If we have all the answers, then our vision is too small.

    Vision is the ability to think about or plan the future with creative imagination and wisdom. A vision provides direction and meaning. Visionaries are open to the infinite, having an uncanny ability to see opportunity amid the chaos.

    The successful manifestation of a vision into physical form requires leveraging our heart, body, mind, and Spirit energies. Every thought of every person reflects the collective consciousness of our society. Every thought, Light and dark, is already created as a potential outcome in the higher dimensions. Based on our own personal energetic vibration, we are literally able to choose which potential outcomes we are attracting into our lives.

    To varying degrees, all of us are alchemists, possessing magical powers of transformation and manifestation. However, low Self-awareness keeps these alchemic powers dormant in too many of us. Learning to unleash our power from within begins with increasing our Self-awareness, leveraging the potential alchemical powers that we all possess.

    Sleeping Souls tend to believe that their success is driven by their determination, fueled by their egos in their minds. Their never-quit attitude certainly helps them to achieve. However, what many Sleeping Souls fail to realize is that no matter how successful they become, unless they tap into their inner knowing and leverage their innate alchemic energies, they will NEVER fully maximize their potential. Many Sleeping Souls don’t believe that dreams can come true. Hence, they are incapable of bringing their visions to life. Others have their minds so cluttered with negative thoughts that there’s no room for new visions to even enter. Some only experience visions or dreams when their conscious minds have quieted during sleep. Some Sleeping Souls desire to make their dreams come true. Some begin to seek.

    Seekers generally learn the power of manifesting their dreams into physical form. They tend to learn how to align their energies to vibrationally align with the potential outcomes they are attracting into their lives. Many find life boring unless they are building their dreams. As they envision the future, many are willing to ask for the resources to bring their dreams to life, and they are willing to receive these resources as they appear in Divine timing. They generally learn that if they have all the answers, then their vision is too small, as they always leave room for the higher realms to assist.

    Awakened dream BIG. They tend to always have their eyes open, noticing the world around them—the ocean, the mountains, the life-energy force in every living thing. They see everything and everyone as their teachers. They see the precious gift and beauty of life. They live their dreams through building their visions with creativity and passion. And when building their visions into physical form, they do so with tremendous focus….
