Wow! God is AMAZING!!! I just received these two messages back to back. I would like to share them with you so you too can be encouraged and inspired today! ♥
I received this first message from an application on Facebook titled, "Message from God". This is such a beautiful and DEEP message for everyone to enjoy!!! So TRUE! ♥
On this day of your life, Josette, we believe God wants you to know ... wealth does not come from your bank account, wealth comes from the depth of your heart.
What you really want is happiness. You might believe that a fat bank account will get you there, but that's false. Happy people are happy rich or poor, unhappy people are unhappy rich or poor. Money simply masks your real being by giving you activities to occupy your mind. Don't fool yourself, recession or not, your true wealth comes from your heart and is always only there.

Then I went to check my personal email and received this timely message. I would like to ADD that I have never had personal contact with this person. I somehow ended up on her email list and am now receiving a weekly message from her. So with that being said, that's why this message came as a welcomed surprise because she had no idea this subject was on my mind... BUT God did. ♥
Dear Josette,
A number of my clients come to me for assistance in helping them find their life's focus or passion. Of course I use my skills as astrologer to help them, but just knowing the things that will fill them with joy and fuel their passion isn't enough. The truth is that living your dream often involves taking risks in the pursuit of your passion. And I have an excellent example I want to share with you.
Just the other day, I ran into a man at the newspaper stand who was avidly discussing golf with a teenaged employee, giving him tips about purchasing clubs and offering his time to help the lad improve his game. Looking up and seeing my interest in the conversation as I checked out, he introduced himself and asked me if I was interested in learning more about golf. His question led to a more extended conversation about how he, I'll call him Elliot, got into golf and why he was so excited about what his new profession.
Elliot told me that he was once a corporate executive with a fabulous income, but he wasn't happy. One day he had a conversation with his mother about his discontent and she asked him if he could choose what he wanted to do all day, what would that be? His answer was that he had just discovered golf, was in love with the game, and wished he could do that all day long. His mother surprised him, Josette. Instead of encouraging him to go back to his job get over his discontent, she told him that if golf made him that happy he should find a way to make his living at it.
After considering his mother's words, Elliot took a risk, found a job at a golf course, and quit his high paying job. He laughed as he told me how he started out as a janitor just to get in. After a couple of years he was moved up to cart maintenance and later was taught how to do club fittings. Elliot said he had the best job in the world, because when he finished work he would spend the rest of the day on the golf course. In the end he became a golf instructor and manager of a golf-training center where he teaches adults and children how to do the thing he loves most in the world, play golf.
As he spoke about his experience, Elliot's face absolutely glowed with joy. Towards the end of our conversation, he confided that he didn't make as much money as he used to make as an executive, but he insisted that he felt more alive, more relaxed, and happier than he had ever been in his life.
Josette, we may not all make the leap to follow our passion in the way that Elliot did, but maybe his example can help us to be a little more willing to take a risk when it comes to following our dreams.
Your friend and astrologer,
