Thought Adjuster: “Many [[movements]] taking place in several parts of [[this world]] are just [[manifestations]] of [[higher consciousness]] that many are [[experiencing]]. Some things that had been [[accepted]] until now will not be [[tolerated]] anymore. The [[abuses]] and [[falsehoods]] that remained ignored before are being [[denounced]] now because they go against the new [[ideals]] that are arising in [[the mind]]s of members of the [[civilization]] of this world.

“The level of [[progress]] of any civilization is simply the sum of the [[individual]] progress of each [[individual]]. Only when each and every one of you endeavor to be the best you can be will your world be better as well. Strive to [[become]] better every day and to follow the [[inspiration]] [[your Father]] has placed within your being to keep progressing and [[growing]]. This is the best thing you can do for [[humanity]] and for your world. The [[changes]] you make in yourself and the [[experiences]] that make you attain new realizations and [[values]] will serve to [[illuminate]] others — even beyond your personal reach since all experiences of spiritual value are treasured by the [[Supreme Being]].”

Thought Adjuster: “The most powerful agent of [[change]] and [[inspiration]] for people is the display of an exemplary [[life]]. Live your life in such a way that it [[becomes]] an eloquent lesson to your [[siblings]] and provides a clearer [[vision]] of a better world. Bring [[light and life]] to your own [[experience]] and you will directly bring light and life to [[your world]].
“An exemplary life – a life well lived – is a life of [[growth]] and sustained [[progress]]. It is a life in which a [[creature]] starts being just a little more than an [[animal]] and obtains enough [[wisdom]] to become the master of her [[destiny]] and her [[relationships]] with her siblings. Such a life is a life of [[happiness]] and [[satisfaction]], that seems to be independent of anything external. Those who live such lives are joyful, [[courageous]], and [[trustful]] because they know that really nothing can cause them real damage.
“An exemplary life is not a life without [[difficulties]]. It is not even a life where all [[decisions]] are right. It is a life where there are still [[mistakes]], but they are called lessons and they bring about [[learning]]. It is not a life where all the answers are known. It is a life where all the answers are [[discovered]] as the person discovers within [[the Source]] of all wisdom.
“An exemplary life is not a life of great [[deeds]] or [[perfect]] outcomes. It is instead a life of [[intentions]] that are increasingly more perfect. It is a life where a person does what she [[believes]] to be right, [[true, beautiful and good]] in her [[heart]], regardless of what others may think or the apparent results. Many times the best decision can be made without getting the [[expected]] results. Only in your heart will you know if your intentions were the best at the time of your making a decision. However, all decisions made [[considering]] your most [[spiritual]] impulses and your most sincere [[love]] for your siblings will always bring good to somebody.
“An exemplary life is not a life of [[glory]] and [[honors]]. You could help many and [[achieve]] great things in your world without anybody knowing your name or what your contribution was. Many of the things you enjoy today are the result of the efforts of people you will never know. Strive to give the best of yourself to every [[person]] that crosses your [[path]] and you will be giving your best to the world. This world has great [[problems]] and needs great solutions, but the great solutions are always the sum of many small [[efforts]]. One great man with the clearest [[mind]] and the best [[ideas]] will never achieve as much as a group of [[average]] men doing their best to solve a problem.
“An exemplary life is not a life of [[satisfaction]] in great [[things]]. It is a life of excellence in the small things. Do today whatever you have to do — your role as a [[parent]], your job, your [[relationships]] with your [[family]] and your [[siblings]] in this world — the best way you can [[imagine]] and leave the outcomes in the hands of [[the Father]], because all the [[good]] you do extends well beyond your personal [[influence]], even beyond [[time and space]].
“An exemplary life is a life [[dedicated]] to [[Doing the will of God|the Will of our Father]]. The [[mandate]] of [[the Father]] is [[perfection]]. To reach perfection is the main task of [[the universe]]s of [[time and space]]. Therefore, when you strive for [[perfection]] in your own life you are working directly on the plan of the Father. When you try to be better every day, when you search for a life [[experience]] more fulfilling and satisfactory, you are doing precisely what your Father expects of you, improving your world and creating a [[reality]] closer to [[light and life]]. Such is the [[beauty]] and [[wisdom]] of the divine plan.”
