Perform every act as if it were your last.

This is your card reading for Friday, July 17th/15.  Your card dropped to the floor from the 'Healing Cards' deck, authored by Caroline Myss and Peter Occhiogrosso.  Your card is 'Perform every act as if it were your last'.  Caroline and Peter's message for the card is this:
"All the spiritual masters tell us to make every decision and choice as if our whole life could be changed because of it.  Today, be mindful only of who you are in each and every action...
Marcus Aurelius was a pantheist and Stoic philosopher who believed in the Divinity of the cosmos as a vast, intelligent being with a soul.  He stressed the harmony of all things and the importance of resigning oneself to whatever occurred.  As Emperor of Rome from 161 to 180, he was also a remarkably moral philosopher-king who hated war and corruption, was magnanimous toward his enemies, and freed many slaves.  But his most lasting achievement is probably his 'MEDITATIONS', brief snippets of wisdom, many of which were written while he reluctantly led his army against hordes of invaders.  Some of his one-liners sound like they could have been written yesterday: 'Stop talking about what the good person should be, and just be that person.'  The maxim on this card is timeless, and captures the goal of putting yourself fully into each moment that all the mystics acknowledge."

My message for you today is this:
How often do we hear from the spiritual mentors/teachers of our time, 'Be in the moment'?
How fascinating that the very words and ideologies that we view as CURRENT were often proclaimed by philosophers and spiritual leaders so very long ago! 
Yet, it is my belief that we are, and have been, undergoing a massive shift in consciousness that implies that we, as a collective, are better able to receive and HEAR what is being shared than we were in the past. We are maturing, spiritually.
Due to the heightened energy that we are now experiencing---many have referred to it as a 'quickening'---this reminder to live CONSCIOUSLY is key at this time.  This does not in any way imply that we live our lives without taking any perceived missteps, or making any 'mistakes'.  It means that we live our lives 'on purpose'---that we pay attention to what is being presented to us and then we consciously choose to ACT rather than to REACT.  Can you sense the difference in the underlying energy behind 'action' and 'reaction'?  That is what is being brought to your attention in your message today.
You are so supported on this amazing journey of self-discovery and self-determination!  The opportunities for this are being offered to us now as they have never been offered before. But we still need to step into it.  It takes courage and conviction to live your life in a conscious way that honours who you are at your core. Embrace the opportunity being offered you!
Blessed be...
