There are times when you look at life as if it were a boxing match. Life -- the boxing champion -- and you, the unsuspecting, punched and knocked out for the count underdog. Then you see yourself carried away from that particular arena to face another match anon whenever life says so.

An area of your life is taken away, and another area left which you desperately want to evade and/or desire at the same time. In any case, you hold on tight and keep your feet where they happen to be. Sometimes you lash at life to stay just where you want it to stay.

You may or may not consciously decide the turns life takes, yet you feel that sooner or later, life socks it to you. Life trips you up and knocks you off your feet. Of course, time and time again, you get up.

It is a good idea to lose the idea that life is something you face. Who wants to face life as if life were a mighty opponent who gets in your way, the same way as you don’t want to face a judge’s gavel or a physician’s needle.

How about viewing life as a friend you meet with and walk along the road with, arm in arm? How about a friend who cares about you and often hears your thoughts and dearly wishes to respond to your wishes?

Your wishes are not separate from your thoughts, voiced or unvoiced. On some level, your thoughts and words are telling life what to deliver to you. You and life are like twins. Life is the twin who knows what you are thinking about and will do everything for you, even displease you if that’s what it takes.

Life is innocent. As best as life can, it reflects you.

You are responsible for your thoughts. Life is an order-taker. I speak of right now and not from the long past of speculated other lifetimes. I speak of this life you are living right now. It is for you to right yourself. Life is your servant. It means to do your bidding, and I look in on you and love you every moment. Will you believe Me?

Life is a constant companion during your stay on Earth. I, God, am also your Constant Companion. You, I, and Life are a Holy Trinity. 

Not a day goes by that is not a miracle. I am aware that you may feel that you are neglected. You have no idea how you are looked after. You may be so busy facing Life that you don’t see the Miracles that surround you and lift you higher. This whole Story of Your Life Is a Miracle. You yourself are a miracle, an amazing miracle of sorts that you do not heartily embrace.

Bless the ground you walk on and everyone you meet and all the others you don’t meet, yet whose hearts are enjoined with yours -- all the brothers and sisters of yours who inhabit the Earth with you, and who are uplifted or pulled down by each and every life. You are so entwined, you hardly realize.

You have been so engrossed in yourself as a separate individual, humbly and arrogantly at the same time. Even so, you are so much more, and you make a far greater impression upon the whole world than you have any clue to.

Start getting clues now. Just as when you and a friend were to jump on each end of the bed, you affect each other tremendously. The idea that the World is One isn’t merely a saying.

This is the scoop: You affect everyone on Earth. You affect everyone’s life, and everyone’s thoughts, actions, deeds, and moods. You are a catalyst of life. You are an intricate part of every life. You affect the life of your neighbor next door, and your neighbor affects your life. The same is true whether your neighbor is far way in another country or lives downstairs from you. There is no far away when it comes to Consciousness.
