On this day of your life, dear friend, I believe God wants you to know…

….that love is not what you want; it is what you are. It is very important to not get these two confused.

If you think that love is what you want, you will go searching for it all over the place. If you think love is what you are, you will go sharing it all over the place. The second approach will cause you to find what the searching will never reveal.

Yet you cannot give love in order to get it. Doing that is as much as saying you do not now have it. And that statement will, of course, be your reality. No, you must give love because you have it to give. In this will you experience your own possession of it.

Love, Your Friend….

Neale

On this day of your life, dear friend, I believe God wants you to know…

…that vocations which we wanted to pursue, but didn’t, bleed, like colors, on the whole of our existence.

Honore De Balzac said that, and he was right. Do not let one more day go by without honoring the vocation your soul calls you to pursue. And don’t pretend you don’t know what it is. Of course you do. You can feel it in your stomach whenever you think about it, whenever you see another person doing it.

Life is so very short. Do now what you yearn to do in your life. You do not have to “quit your day job” in order to do this. You may do so if you choose to, but you do not have to. Many people advance a vocation while holding down their “regular job.” You can, too. Then ease into your vocation and turn it into your “regular job.” But you must give energy to your vocation starting today. I mean, today.

Love, Your Friend….
Neale
