We are given advice and guidance constantly but often, because of the ego, we do not realize it is there to help us; the ego gets in the way. I still feel myself reacting when I am given advice and guidance, but these days I listen carefully, do not let it bother me, and try not to give energy to it. By doing this, I allow the Universe to change things (which they usually do) and lead me to the opportunities I need in order to grow. I am very blessed that I can recognize it. Spirit will use friends, family, even our enemies to help us if they can. They will use the mail, e-mail, the spoken word, whatever, but they will do all they can to guide and advise us.
I will never forget the man in New Zealand who was told he needed to slow down and not be such a workaholic. He would not listen to his wife or to the tape of the reading. Eighteen months after the reading he was dead of a stroke! He came back from the other side to say he was sorry, not only to his wife, but also to me, for I was the one who gave the reading and told his wife to ask him to be careful, and to try to get him to listen to the tape of the reading. Watching his energy on the other side was so very hard for me and for his wife, as he realized he did not have to be where he was and could still be alive. But then we are our own worst enemies. Talk about sabotage! The next time something is given to you and you do not like it or take offense to it, really ask yourself, “What am I being told this for?” Instead of being angry or upset, let it pass over you, and you will probably get the message you are meant to get, not what your Self wants you to see.
