Daily Tune-Up by Yehuda Berg

Messengers come in all forms ­ not only human. Sometimes we see a piece of paper on the sidewalk, or catch a glance of a bird out of the side of our eyes, or hear a dog barking. There is meaning in all of it.

Today, be aware of all the things you see and hear. Ask yourself what the Light is showing you by strewing these things along your path.

Life is forgiving. No matter what you have or haven't done, you can always count on a new day and a fresh slate.

Extend that forgiveness to someone today.

You are always a messenger for someone. Your talent and inspiration are meant to be delivered and shared. When you leave projects sitting half cooked, you are depriving someone of their Light.

Today, revive a project you've left sitting on the shelf. You never know whose life you can improve, or save, when you complete it.

Life is meant to be lived. You're meant to pursue your dreams, and take risks, in this lifetime. This means giving your doubts a break and giving your soul a chance to speak its truth.

The only thing standing in your way is you.

Today, get out of your way and explore your unknown.

Why do we yell at one another? In a word, fulfillment. Raging at someone gives us a quick, deep fulfillment. For a moment, we are in control. But like a drug, it goes away, and we need the next hit of anger to get us back in shape.

Today, when you want to yell - restrict. That's not to say you should stuff your anger. But it is to say, don't dump it on those around you.

What is this urge to be someone we're not? When we try to make everyone happy, we make no one happy, including ourselves.

If someone doesn't accept us for who we are, then maybe we've got to ask ourselves why we need their approval. We never need to be anyone but who we are in order to gain someone's love.

Today, you be you. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

You want proof of spirituality? Test it. Testing what you learn against your experience makes it more real and meaningful and less robotic & religious.

Today, look up and demand to receive messages & guidance that give you a deeper understanding of what you want to know for sure.

Nothing worthwhile happens overnight. You've got to put time and love into building friendships, careers, spiritual connections. When you rush the process, you get stuck.

Or worse, your impulsiveness may lead you to build something with a weak foundation that will crumble in time.

Today, don't rush the important things. Practice patience & perseverance so your creations can be strong and stick around a while.

Even with our eyes open we often go through our life asleep. We dream of what yesterday was or what tomorrow will be, all the while missing out on the opportunities to create tremendous joy and breakthroughs right this moment.

Today, be awake. Really awake.

The purpose of the body is to suffer, and the purpose of the soul is to enjoy it.

Before we are born, our souls requested a body where it could experience pain so that it could achieve its purpose of purifying itself. When we refuse the pain in our lives is when it becomes painful. When we embrace and learn from it, it doesn't hurt as much ­ and it passes faster.

Today, reframe pain as the actual learning experience. Only then will messages reveal themselves faster, easier and clearer.

This takes courage.
