When we are buying into the ego’s false concepts as true, unconscious as it may be, we are choosing hopelessness over hope, darkness over light, and a judgment-centric, fear-based mindset over God’s mercy and grace. This can manifest in numerous forms, such as when we choose judgment over forgiveness, anger over peace, sadness over joy, or worry over trust. Today, if you find yourself entertaining any of the ego’s thinking, do not despair. Do not put yourself or others down for being in a state of unconsciousness. Instead, let this trigger you to take your thoughts, and thus your mind, back from the ego. The more you practice shifting out of the ego’s mindset, the more control you will have over your thoughts and thus over the life you live. Today, know that every decision you make moves you toward God, Love, and thus to hope.
Today, if a sense of hopelessness comes knocking at your mind’s door, do not put yourself or others down for this. For that would only sink you deeper into its darkness. Instead, recognize it. See that it is not offering you the life you want. Recall that you have free will, and stop supporting the thoughts that foment hopelessness. No longer support thoughts that don’t support you. You have the final say over the thoughts you think, and thus of your attitude. Today, focus on and nurture thoughts that will support the life you want. Stop giving your energy to thoughts that fuel the false concept of hopelessness. Then place that same energy into looking for and supporting thoughts that move you in hope’s direction. When you do, you will see despair fade away and hope rise before your light and understanding.
All glory to God.
Peace, Health, Happiness, Love, Laughter, and Light.

It is very hard to see happiness. Thx.
Thank you for your comment and I’m very sorry that you are going through what you are going through. I understand your journey with terminal cancer more than you could imagine.
What I can say is to try to go from focusing on your life as a whole, to focusing more and more on each and every moment and interaction, and making them the best, most joyful, hopeful moments that you can. Keep figuring out what each day you can add to bring peace to your mind and joy to your heart.
Write it down on a piece of paper: “Things/thoughts/words/actions I can do each day and interaction to bring more peace, hope and joy into my life and into the lives of others.” Then little by little add to that list and begin to proactively implement them. Then on another list write down: “Things/thoughts/words/actions that I am doing that are diminishing my peace, hope and joy.” Then practice ending, little by little, the time, focus and energy that you are dedicating to them. This way you become less of a victim of your circumstances and more in control of your thoughts and thus of your mind and life.
One of the numerous things you can add to your day that will help you align your mind with the type of day you want are these free 365 daily inspirations. I also have free videos you can watch each day. And so little by little you begin to fill your day with positive thoughts/words/actions which then give less space in your day and life for negative thoughts/words/actions. The more you practice doing this the more you will begin to realize how much power you indeed have to create the day you want.
You’ll be forever in my prayers.
Peace. JBC
this made me realize just how precious life is that is given us to learn the way to go to be happy and whole. It is truly beautiful if you look at it in the right way as a teaching yourself and a learning experience applied to everyday life. I believe we are here learning these valuable lessons given to us by James who is commissioned by God to do so…as to be in everlasting life with the Creator, Life is a school and by choosing to learn these truths we choose in this life who we will serve and it is not the devil which is the ego.
Thank you Susan for your kind words and for being open to the message.
We are here to be the light that our Creator created us to be.
We are here to experience some of the darkness that others are experiencing, so that we can understand its illusionary nature, overcome the darkness, and become examples to other that the darkness can be overcome, because the darkness was never the truth in us.
Today, let us not put ourselves or others down for buying into who we in truth are not. Instead, when we find ourselves lost in the darkness, let that simply signal to us, that it is not within the darkness that we belong. Let us then use such instances to practice recalling our light, and that we are all the sons and daughter of The Light. Let us put all our time, focus and energy, on thoughts the brighten the light in us. Then let us serve as examples to others that only God, The Light, the Love in all of us, is true.
All glory to God.
Peace. JBC
