Making a Living

Making a living comes naturally. Making a living occurs the way breathing occurs, the way the heart pumps, the way eyes see, and ears hear. Making a living is as natural as breathing, and just as vital to one’s wellbeing.

Your inner knowing knows how to breathe, and it knows how to make a living. Just like breath or a beating heart, this knowing occurs irrespective of age. Your financial needs may change with age but your ability to satisfy those needs does not. Listen to your inner knowing. Then take action on the things that interest you, that are inspired in you. It may not look like what you thought it would, but you will know because it will be like picking ripe fruit. Your heart will expand rather than contract with the thought of it. Don’t try to talk yourself out of it or justify why you can’t achieve it. Just say yes.

Where Did You Go?

Cheryl: You were prompting me regularly for a short time to post every day. Then you disappeared. Where did you go?

Higg(in)s: We have not gone anywhere. We are right here, as we always are. With you. You are correct that we stopped prompting you, but that does not mean that we are not with you. We stopped prompting you to allow time to monitor the effect our recent posts.

Something Nice for Thanksgiving

Cheryl: Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the United States. Will you tell us something nice for Thanksgiving?

Higg(in)s: Giving thanks is a powerful tool in your creational toolbox. What a wonderful thing it is to set aside a day for gratitude. You celebrate bounty on this day. We encourage you to thoughtfully consider the bounty you receive on every topic. Below are some examples.

  1. Safety and Security
  2. Good health
  3. Pleasant interactions
  4. Prosperity
  5. Relationships

We think you will find this practice uplifting.

Bright blessings to you all.

More About Choices

Cheryl: I asked you about making choices that will result in a more positive future for us. (Posted November 20, 2023.) I was surprised by your response because I thought you would talk more specifically about intentional creation.

Higg(in)s: Intentional creation is easy once you know how. However, we have monitored the result of years of conversations with you regarding intentional creation and we know that most of you understand our words but do not understand the technique. The comment we provided earlier about choosing the most positive thought and emotion in each moment of your awake life is the portion of intentional creation that you most need to master, followed closely by learning to take immediate action on your inspirations.

Choices

Cheryl: Will you talk about how to make choices that affect our future in a positive way?

Higg(in)s: Every waking moment you affect your own future. The emotion you experience with each thought has the potential to return to you as life experience. Therefore, we encourage you to look for the best possible thought you can muster every waking moment. As your thoughts and emotions return to you in physical format, you will always be visited by the best possible thoughts and emotions rather than the harder, more difficult ones.

Check-In

Higg(in)s: Are you finding something to appreciate about yourself every day? If not, establish a daily routine of doing so. Those around you will begin to treat you better. You will be stimulated with good ideas to make your days better. It is easy and it is useful.

What Stops Aggression?

Cheryl: The news reports this morning show a peaceful protest in Washington, D.C. turning aggressive. I have come to believe what you say about aggression not stopping aggression. What does?

Higg(in)s: Peace. Peaceful humor. Peaceful words. Peaceful acceptance of differences. Peaceful agreeable-ness. Peaceful hope. Peaceable attitude.

Cheryl: You do say that sometimes an emotion is too far from our current emotion to be accessible. Is that what is going on here, between Israel and Palestine? Between the demonstrators and whatever it is they are fighting?

Higg(in)s: Very astute of you to grasp this. If you will maintain yourself as a harbor for peace, that which is not peace will move away from you. If it can’t move away, it will fight sort of like a cornered animal. (That is what you are experiencing at work. *) The other person has to bring you into their emotional control so that they can feel better.

In this peaceful protest turned aggressive what you are seeing is people who have become disoriented. They do not realize that their aggression is the same aggression that they claim to be protesting. The solution is for those of you who do remain centered, your emotional compass rests where North is Peace, to start a new conversation. Talk about peaceful resolutions in your own home. You don’t have to fix anything else, just talk about, and initiate, peace and peaceful resolutions in your own lives. This will create opportunity for those who can, to shift just a little, then a little more. It is like turning a car around in a tight space. You must make multiple forward and back motions with a little turn at a time. These who are fighting, these who protest aggressively, these people cannot make an about turn. It can’t happen. It is the equivalent of cornering an animal. You have to provide an environment where they can make a little bit of a mental shift at a time.

*Note: See posts from November 13, 14, 15, 2023 regarding Higg(n)s responses to my adventures with a difficult coworker.

More Clarity Regarding My Difficult Coworker

Cheryl: Regarding my questions that past few days about a difficult coworker, yesterday my workday actually flowed along pretty well. I found myself smiling for no apparent reason. In some ways my day flowed more pleasantly than before the negativity arose. I’m having a hard time wrapping my mind around the possibility that I did this by keeping my Mona Lisa Smile in place, and doing the other things you suggested, but I really did not see a good way out of this and now it seems to be smoothing out on its own.

Higg(in)s: It’s not smoothing out on its own. Your attention to your thoughts, words, and actions smoothed it out. Let us provide a simple metaphor. You are driving your vehicle down the road towards your destination. From time to time, you take a detour down a bumpy gravel road and through puddles of water. The scenery is interesting and you like the change although the driving is more difficult and requires you to drive a little slower. Eventually, you get to your destination regardless of the route you chose.

We suggest you continue to define and refine your desires. Make a list of the qualities you want in your co-workers, in your work environment, in the feeling you have when you perform your job duties, the rewards you receive. Your desires continually evolve. Continue to plan in advance, and to adjust your plans whenever it suits you. Believe with unwavering commitment that your desires are granted. The essence of that which you desire is on its way to you. It may arrive differently than you expected but it will arrive, and it will be good. As you become clearer on your creative focus the responses will become overtly as you wish.

Fixing the Mess I’m In

Cheryl: Regarding your posts of November 13 and 14, 2023 about my difficult coworker, how do I fix this mess now that I’m in it?

Higg(in)s: Keep that Mona Lisa Smile pasted on your face. Continue to define the qualities you would like to see in your coworkers. Reading your new and improved list on a daily basis is a powerful tool. Acknowledge something you do like about each player in your workplace adventure. Again, do this daily. (Yes, we know it takes time to do this. Once you get this situation resolved and you move into your future you will spend less time cleaning up messes.)

The harder part of cleaning up a mess is that there are few good choices. Listen for inspiration and follow your intuition. You will at minimum be guided towards least worst options. When you speak for yourself do so without heat. Continue to treat those involved as though they are important and valuable. They are. Remember, no matter how uncomfortable the situation, you created it, and you can learn something from it that will help you the remainder of your days on earth. This person is doing something for you, not to you.
