Within the last few months, I did a reading, that I forgot all about… until something on the recent news jarred my memory. The angels told a woman I was reading for that in her previous life she had been put to death in the gas chambers during the last world war. She had been a little girl at the time. She knew they were all going to die. She felt the fear in that room, and wanted to help everyone feel better, so she started to sing.
Her sweet, fearless, little angelic voice entranced the entire group and she sang even as people began to pass out and die. She sang until her body could sing no longer but her soul continued to sing as they crossed into the light, and the absolute beauty of that one loving act served as a point of focus to carry the entire group into the light with her. This little angel of mercy, in a simple act of goodness, lifted the entire group of souls beyond the horrors of war and into the light of heaven. I was near tears sharing the angels’ words with her. I felt her goodness.
I was touched to the core, when soon after I saw a story on the news about a little girl in the Ukraine who held an entire group of families in a bomb shelter in rapt silence, as she sang “Let it Go” from the movie Frozen in her native language. Her voice was pure, angelic, innocent, and she sang with passion and zest. She had the heart of a true performer. She wasn’t focused on the bombs, the fear, and the possibility of death. She was present in the moment, singing her heart out, and clearly wanting to help everyone feel better. I’m sure she had no idea at the time that she helped an entire world feel better, or at least the thousands who saw her story. As it ends up she escaped to Poland where she sang her national anthem in front of a huge live audience and raised over $650,000 for relief efforts. One small act of goodness rippled outward into a wave of huge proportion.
There are horrible things going on in the world… but there is so much good! The angels have taught me, and constantly remind me, to look for it, to embrace it in my daily life, and to give myself permission to be happy every day so that I can be a force of light and goodness in this world as well.
Far from burying your head in the sand, looking to the good is a forward focus, beyond that which has already been created towards that which we still have the influence to empower, and to create.
I can’t change the actions of others but I can choose to focus on the vibrations I wish to empower. I can’t stop tanks halfway across the world but I can stop the attacks of self-criticism. I can make certain I’m not “shooting down” anyone else’s perspective or beliefs. I can make sure I’m not invading or trying to overtake someone else’s free will choices about how they want to live their lives. I can prevent the million mini-wars that are choices throughout the day. In so doing, by connecting more and more deeply to the One love trying to express itself in all things I become, and you become a powerful force of good.
As we look for the good emerging from the horror, we empower more of it. A woman sits at her dusty white piano that is miraculously preserved in the rubble of her bombed-out apartment and plays a final, beautiful, piece of heavenly music. People sing in the streets. Celebrities give over their Instagram pages to charities to reach those in need. Polish women leave strollers and baby supplies for the Ukrainian women and babies who had to leave their homes with nothing. Strangers offer refugees food and a place to stay. Compassion, kindness, and evidence of the goodness in human hearts is everywhere. Beauty is in your backyard. Love is poured with every glass of coffee or tea. There is light everywhere.
Our focus IS powerful. We ARE able to attune ourselves and more of the collective to the loving vibrations. We DO change the world with every choice, every thought, every emanation of our own thoughts, emotions, and spirits. Best of all, in connection to love, when we focus on the good to the best of our ability, we can feel, hear, or sense our own guidance. We will know what to do – physically and spiritually – and when. We will know when it is our turn to be the heart, hands, eyes, and ears of God, and when it is our task to remain silent and peaceful and be the vibrational change… or perhaps both.
When we raise our vibe by focusing on the good, we no longer have to agonize over what to do, how to serve, what value our life has, how to make our businesses work, our relationships work, and so on. Our focus on love, our connection to the Source will give us the perfect feelings to do the perfect things, at the perfect time, for all. Source is win, win, win. Guidance from the higher realms is win-win. We hear it and feel it so much more powerfully when we choose a focus on love.
So while the world is offering more than its share of horrors, and we DO care about the people who are enduring them, it is so important to remove our focus from the horror, the minute we see it and move our focus to love. Pray for those people in bomb shelters and fleeing their homes. Pray for the ones shooting at them. Pray for the lost, possessed, and disconnected that the light of God’s love rise up within them and remind them of their true nature.
Then look for the good in your own personal life and in the world, because great good is rising up. Great movements of love are being triggered by small acts. A single child sings in a shelter, and thousands are moved to tears. Hearts and pocketbooks are opened to support those in need. Thousands look at their own lives, and question, “What simple thing can I do to make the world a better and more loving place.” We are humbled by this child. We are inspired by her. The light within her lives in you and me and all, and we, through our focus upon it, are like the sun shining on the seedling sparks of hope in every human heart. You do matter. You are important, not because of your accomplishments on this earth in human terms, but because of every single kind and loving choice you make.
Here are a few tips to help you shift your focus to the good
1. Look for good news
It is easy to swallow the news we are “spoon-fed” and think this is the majority of our reality but it is not. There is good news every day. There are websites such as tanksgoodnews.com, goodnewsnetwork.org, and positivenews.newsdedicated to it. There are amazing people sharing inspiration, talent, music, and recipes on youtube and tik tok. There are quiet and simple examples of good people doing loving acts in your own home, neighborhood, or grocery store.
If you look for the good, you’ll find it. Seek out the important news – all those tiny acts of love that cumulatively are moving the world forward on a kinder trajectory.
2. Have a few Vibe-Boosters on hand
Have a few books on hand that inspire you when you flip a page open and read a passage. Find a channel on youtube that inspires you. Have a few movies that lift you up or a playlist that elevates you. Save a few bags of tea or some good coffee for when you need a pick-me-up.
Sometimes you just feel overburdened by challenges in your life, dense energy, or bad news in the world. By keeping a few sources of inspiration and upliftment on hand we have access to an instant vibe-booster.
3. Focus on Joy
Give yourself permission to be happy! When you feel happy and good you focus on good, do good, and notice more good. Every day I do something no matter how small or how late at night that gives me joy. I was making easter bunny outfits last Sunday, for example. This certainly isn’t meaningful in any conventional sense but I know that every time the recipients look at their cute little bunnies, they’re going to feel loved. They’re going to smile. My joy will inspire theirs and who knows who their joy will inspire. A small act done with joy and love ripples outwards. We never know how far.
4. Focus on Service
When you feel like there’s not enough good in the world, get out of your head and do something good. Be the change. Perhaps you can leave a little note on someone’s car, “Your angels love you. Just a reminder!” Perhaps you can leave a penny for someone to find. You can volunteer with an organization or simply perform random acts of kindness for friends, family, or strangers.
If you’re not sure what to do, pray and ask how you can serve because God will only ask you to serve through your own joy. In our service, in sharing the good, we become it, we feel it, and we see more and more of it. We inspire ourselves.
It isn’t always easy to look for the good when life is hard, the world is nuts, and the energy is chaotic, but we can, and when we do we reap the rewards and become a powerful contribution to this world. The more of us that seek it, see it, and be it, the more quickly our world shifts the balance towards a lighter and brighter future.
