Today has been a mixture of ups and downs, being confused on where to go from here. I decided to ask God for direction. As usual His answer came in loud and clear.

What's seems to be the problem?, he asked. I sense you are hiding something from me. So what's the big issue?

Well, I said. If you want to know the truth I am terrified about tomorrow. Not really tomorrow but the future in general. You see, I am getting well and ready to start living again and so afraid that I will mess it up again. Can you help me?

The answer to your question is, I could but I won't, he said. Don't get me wrong, son, but it would be much better if you did this on your own. After all you have come this far, it would be a shame if you didn't finish by yourself. However, let me give you some tips.

First of all, you have never made a mistake. Even what you think is your worst blunder has turned out to be your greatest breakthrough. What's so bad about that?

Secondly, you will never make a mistake. Oh there will be some do over and repeats until you get it right but that's all. Everybody wins on earth. It's part of your contract.

Thirdly, you will be graded on how many challenges you overcame instead of how many you avoided. Relationship challenges rate the highest. Followed by Self esteem and allowing others to be themselves. Success in power and money rate the lowest.

Remember that person that kept looking for perfection but never could find it? Well they were looking for the wrong type of perfection. People think that having everything wonderful is perfection but it isn't. Without change you cannot have perfection. Without upset you cannot have change. Therefore no upset, no perfection. Got it?

Listen kid, it was nice talking to you and I didn't even have to wear my George Burns outfit. Glad to see you are getting more comfortable seeing me as I am. See you later.
