Your Master Teacher is reminding you that nothing is entirely good or bad, even people, and that every person has their own version of reality, which may not necessarily agree with yours. Instead of arguing with or feeling wronged by those who refuse to submit to your point of view, give up your righteous and rigid demands, and broaden your perspective to include the interests of those you struggle with now. Mentally move toward center, and open your mind to look at the situation from their point of view.

Although it’s easy to feel indignant and defensive as you deal with this current impasse, the truth is that no one’s trying to harm you. Instead, your detractors are simply supporting their own interests and priorities, which are different from yours. Rather than reacting emotionally to their resistance, strive to understand them. Be mindful not to be overly self-centered, however justified it may feel. Strive to be fair instead. Your Master Teacher’s message: “Accept that your interests are no more or no less important than those of people around you, so the only way to progress to higher ground is to compromise.”

Sooner or later in our evolutionary process, each of us begins to realize that it’s not the having that fulfills our soul, but rather it’s the act of creating that brings us satisfaction. Contentment in what we’ve created—no matter how grand—inevitably subsides, and our creative juices once again long to flow. That’s why the once-ideal partner ceases to mesmerize, the perfect job eventually becomes mundane, and the great adventure becomes tedious. Although there’s a lot to be said for enjoying what we have now, we must nevertheless respect the fact that our basic nature as creative beings is . . . to create. Without the process, we can’t be fully content—at least not for long.

Your Muses are present, and they call on you now to embrace your creative discontent and undertake new projects. Their message: “See your frustration as a longing to learn more, expand more, dare more, and create more.”

Your Divine Helpers are present, bearing the good news that whatever you’ve been working on will succeed. The bad news . . . well, there really isn’t any bad news, but there is reality, which in your case suggests that you can fully enjoy your success only if you recognize that you didn’t get where you are by yourself.

This isn’t to suggest that you must diminish your light or be falsely modest in your achievements—not by a long shot! You deserve to shine, so please do. Your Divine Helpers simply remind you to be grateful, and acknowledge the contributions of those who have helped you get where you are. This includes your spirit helpers and guides as well. One final word: With success comes the challenge of standing alone in your light. Of course you’ve heard the saying “It’s lonely at the top.” But it doesn’t have to be if you remember how you got there. Your Divine Helpers’ message: “Share the spotlight.”
