More

We all classify ourselves as not one thing but many;  for example we may be a parent, a son/daughter, niece/nephew, aunt/uncle, friend, colleague, neighbour, carer, lover etc. 
If you were to take a pen and paper and list all the labels you use to describe yourself now, how long would the list be?  

But these words are just external labels if you were to continue and create a new list with labels for what you consider to be the inner true you, how long would this list be?

Now you have at least two lists of words.  But they are just words they aren't you, there is more to you than just labels.  You could add to your lists daily but they would still not even represent a fraction of who/what you are.  

We have been taught to classify and separate ourselves into measurable boxes to fit in with our social idea of where we fit in our lives and the lives of those around us.  As a child you were told 'what a beautiful little girl you were' or 'what a cheeky little chap you were' and our parents unwittingly guided us on by using comments like; 'if you work hard and do all your homework you too can be a great .....', 'If you want to be a doctor then you will need to spend your time reading lots of books and studying hard,', 'if you join the local football team you will learn great leadership and sharing skills,', 'If you want to get a good job you will have to give up your creative ideas of studying art/dance etc.'  The list is endless but i'm sure you get the idea.  

But what truly are we saying to these children?

We're telling them frankly they're not good enough.  
They are not perfect. 
They require more to fit into our society.  
They will need to work harder and accomplish more to be accepted.

Wrong message. 

When you look at a little baby just a few days or weeks old you don't use comments like, 'he'll be a great 'whatever' some day if he does his homework.'  
No you breath in and absorb their innocence and purity because as you look into those beautiful deep eyes you see the divine in all its greatest majesty looking back at you and looking into your soul.  The baby is perfect; sweet, innocent, pure and totally perfect.  

So what changes?

It's simple - we do.  
We impose our 'learned' beliefs and wants and needs onto the child and in doing so we tell them they are not enough.  

But the truth of it all is completely the opposite.  

Just like the little baby we don't change.   The same divine majesty is still within us, although we have covered it over with lots of 'rubbish' it is there gleaming strong and bright.  
We only need to remember and reconnect with it.  We don't change we just take on the 'rubbish' of life and pile it on top and thus carry it around with us all our lives, constantly telling ourselves that we are not good enough, not deserving enough, not entitled enough etc. 

We are so much more.  
More is such a small, tiny fragmented word to explain what 'IT' is, but it is beyond our greatest imagining, more intense than our wildest dreaming and more beautiful and amazing that we can comprehend.  

Remove the rubbish you have been carrying around all your life, let it go.
  
Instead reawaken your Divinity and know that you are more. 
You were created perfect and you still are perfect, totally, magically, and divinely just the way you are. 
Let Divine joy radiate in your life, spend tomorrow accessing your more. 

Self Respect

We hear a lot in spiritual circles / events about loving yourself and sending love to others especially those who are negative or offend/hurt us.  Most people find this difficult to understand let alone to do.  

So let's simplify it - whatever you wish to achieve be it spiritual or for yourself then the very first step you have to start with is yourself.  

It all stems from you, your belief, your confidence, your faith, your abilities, your loves, your opinions etc. 

If you can take yourself and apply the idea / principle of self respect, and put that into action - you will find it works and in working you can apply it further; to your life, your work / career, your friends etc.  The only thing that stops you or causes concerns / difficulties is FEAR.  Fear of the unknown, fear of failing, fear of what people will think or say and so on.  So again you return to you and your ideas, opinions, feelings, etc.

If you cannot love yourself 100%, be honest with yourself 100%, question yourself, trust yourself, be confident in yourself then you will have difficulties in moving these concepts to others.  You must love yourself 100% not 90% not 99% if you don't then you have to ask yourself why can't you love yourself 100% - what's stopping you?  I mostly love myself, but I don't deserve to be loved 100% do I?  Why don't you deserve to be loved 100% ?

There it is again FEAR.  

It's the biggest hurdle you have to overcome in most areas of your life.  

In beginning with yourself you can be honest, brave and unashamed of your emotions, feelings and loves.  You can apply pure honesty to yourself and how you see and understand yourself.  

We are not taught real Self Respect in school or even at home, it's something we pick up along the way, although some are born with it - an inner knowing that something is wrong, someone is lying to them or deceiving them.  We are taught to have manners, not answer back and the social graces although many of the youth today seem to be lacking these. 

Today the angels ask that you believe in yourself, have self respect for yourself.  Start with You, ask the angels to help you recognise the signs / signals that will empower you to connect with yourself.  

In connecting with your inner self you will find connecting to you higher self easier.
