Michael: "Yes, My beloved brothers and sisters, a happy attitude is a choice. As children, you learned the art of manipulation. You learned this form of control at a very young age. So many children rule the kingdom of their parents by their attitudes. You know this is the truth; the children rule the roost. How has this happened? All by attitude!

"Why wouldn’t you? A smile can change the whole course of the day in an instant. That is a good controlling factor. Learn to smile often, for you can actually bring sunshine, even on a cloudy day, by just a simple and very worthwhile attitude adjustment."

Michael: "Change your thinking, My Brothers and Sisters, and you change your world. I would tell you today that so much of your thinking is a waste of precious time. You are all very talented, each in your own unique way. Yes, you are creative beings, and yet you busy your thought life with non-essentials. During your lifetime you have all become creatures of much non-essential thinking.

====A Reminder to Forgive====
    
Michael: "I will return your thinking today, My Brothers and Sisters, to a review of the important universal principal to forgive one another. You need to be reminded often, for you habituate un-forgiveness. You are far too judgmental of your brothers’ and sisters’ failures. You demand far too high a standard of behavior of them; one that you, yourselves, have great difficulty living up to.

"You adopt a gloomy attitude to fit your gloomy circumstances. This is a habit. You can just as easily adopt a happy attitude for every circumstance. Change the gloomy attitude whenever it occurs by remembering that all your attitudes, whatever they may be, are all personal choices. Remember always Whose child you are, and Whose image you represent."

Michael: "Today, My brothers and sisters, may offer you a challenge or two. Expect the unexpected, for in truth, there will always be little surprises along the path, and not always will they be pleasant ones. Be prepared to look at every challenge as simply a place for growth. You do not grow in the pleasant places. These are little rests in your evolution. You grow in the challenges.

"You are our Father’s children on a path as both students and teachers in the great classroom of this life experience. Learn your lessons well, My brothers and sisters, and put away the habits you learned in childhood. Put away the anger and disappointment as you greet your challenging path. Let your attitude of acceptance be the greatest lesson that you teach, for many are watching your evolution and are learning from the way you yourselves grow in the challenges."
