Just when I finally gave up last night…I find this in my inbox. Maybe I shoudn’t give up after all? I’ll just have to work it out in the next life anyway…and I’m too lazy to come back for another round of this. Let me know what you think of this lovely little message…
Peace-

Lightening the Soul
Soul Evolution
From the moment we are born, our souls may feel heavy because they are carrying the weight of all we have lived, loved, and learned in our past incarnations. It is only when we actively seek to work through our issues that we can lighten the load and our souls can evolve. Divesting ourselves of what no longer serves us, such as unwarranted fear, the inability to feel empathy, or self-limiting behaviors, are just some of the many challenges we may face in this lifetime. While some issues we face are easier to deal with because they are the final remains of residue from a past life, other issues offer greater challenges because we are meant to work through them throughout this lifetime.
Often, we expect ourselves to recover quickly from difficult or painful circumstances. When we do not or cannot, we may feel emotionally inept or hopeless. The evolution of the soul, however, is an ongoing process that can take many lifetimes. It is a matter of accepting that even when we do our best there are going to be situations, people, and outcomes that we cannot control. It is also important to remember that your experiences now may be setting the groundwork for future healing—whether in this lifetime or the next one. The more you release in each time, the more you grow and the more your soul will evolve.
Although it is not always possible to work through all of our issues in a single lifetime, it is important that we confront what we are called to face in this life and do the work we need to do. It is also important to remember that the most effective way to let your soul grow is to be an active participant in life. Be present in each moment and your soul will do this work for you.

Jonas, you are the incarnation of altruism. In what you are doing, you are putting aside your fears and intentionally enduring the many hardships of homelessness in order to gain empathy towards those who are homeless. Perhaps what you learn from this experience will allow others to be inspired by your empathy.
Jonas, perhaps you will discover much you can share and teach those of us who will listen… God Bless and God Speed
I am learning that success and/or failure is defined most importantly by oneself than by others. Personal growth can only be measured by comparing you to yourself. If at first you don’t succeed, try try again… not necessarily right away. There may things that you didn’t take into account… there will be another opportunity for growth … there always is…
