Everyone I Love Becomes My Family - and I Love Everyone.

GOOD MORNING FAMILY!
Human Race Yearns to Renew
The human race now yearns to renew itself. You can sense this everywhere. You can feel it in the air. All that people are waiting for is someone to stand up and show the way. Someone to get the ball rolling. One person to topple the first domino.
Yet let me make something clear. The era of the Single Savior is over. What is needed now is joint action, combined effort, collective co-creation. What is called for now is not one person only, but a large number of humans willing to be the "one person" in their family, in their community, in their circle of influence who will take on the task of bringing about change right then, right there.

I see this story every so often on the internet... Well yesterday, I saw it on Facebook, and I thought it was so inspirational, I decided to share it here.
This is one of the SADDEST stories ever told in Hollywood.
His name is Sylvester Stallone. One of the BIGGEST and Most famous American Movie superstars. Back in the day, Stallone was a struggling actor in every definition. At some point, he got so broke that he stole his wife's jewellery and sold it. Things got so bad that he even ended up homeless. Yes, he slept at the New York bus station for 3 days. Unable to pay rent or afford food. His lowest point came when he tried to sell his dog at the liquor store to any stranger. He didnt have money to feed the dog anymore. He sold it at $25 only. He says he walked away crying.
Two weeks later,he saw a boxing match between Mohammed Ali and Chuck Wepner and that match gave him the inspiration to write the script for the famous movie,ROCKY. He wrote the script for 20 hours! He tried to sell it and got an offer for $125,000 for the script. But he had just ONE REQUEST. He wanted to STAR in
the movie. He wanted to be the MAIN ACTOR. Rocky himself. But the studio said NO. They wanted a REAL STAR.
They said he "Looked funny and talked funny". He left with his script. A few weeks later,the studio offered him $250,000 for the script. He refused. They even offered $350,000. He still refused. They wanted his movie. But NOT him. He said NO. He had to be
IN THAT MOVIE.
After a while,the studio agreed,gave him $35,000 for the script and let him star in it! The rest is history! The movie won Best Picture, Best Directing and Best Film Editing at the prestigious Oscar Awards. He was even nominated for BEST ACTOR! The Movie ROCKY was even inducted into the American National Film Registry as one of the greatest movies ever!
And do You know the first thing he bought with the $35,000? THE DOG HE SOLD. Yes,Stallone LOVED HIS DOG SO MUCH that he stood at the liquor store for 3 days waiting for the man he sold his dog to. And on the 3rd day,he saw the man coming with the dog. Stallone explained why he sold the dog and begged for the dog back. The man refused. Stallone offered him $100. The man refused. He offered him $500. And the guy refused. Yes,he refused even $1000. And,Believe it or Not,Stallone had to pay $15,000 for the same,same dog he sold at $25 only! And he finally got his dog back!
And today,the same Stallone who slept in the streets and sold his dog JUST BECAUSE he couldnt even feed it anymore,is one of the GREATEST Movie Stars who ever walked the Earth!
Being broke is BAD. Really BAD. Have You ever had a dream? A wonderful dream? But You are too broke to implement it? Too tiny to do it? Too small to accomplish it? Damn! I've been there too many times!
Life is tough. Opportunities will pass you by,just because you are a NOBODY. People will want your products but NOT YOU. Its a tough world. If you aint already famous, or rich or "connected", You will find it rough.
Doors will be shut on You. People will steal your glory and crash your hopes. You will push and push. And yet NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.
And then your hopes will be crashed. You will be broke. Damn broke. You will do odd jobs for survival. You will be unable to feed yourself. And Yes, you may end up sleeping in the streets. It happens. Yes, it does.
BUT NEVER LET THEM CRUSH THAT DREAM. Whatever happens to You, Keep Dreaming. Even when they crush your hopes, Keep Dreaming. Even when they turn you away, Keep Dreaming. Even when they shut you down, Keep Dreaming.
NO ONE KNOWS WHAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF EXCEPT YOURSELF! People will judge You by HOW you look. And by WHAT You have. But please, Fight on! Fight for Your place in history. Fight for your glory. NEVER EVER GIVE UP!
Even if it means selling all your clothes and sleeping with the dogs, ITS OKAY! But AS LONG AS YOU ARE STILL ALIVE, Your STORY IS NOT OVER. TRUST ME.
Keep Up the Fight. Keep your dreams and hope alive. Go gerrit.
Like and share if inspired. Lovely day people!

Heavenletter #4612 A Many-Splendored One, July 11, 2013
God said:
What do you say as you spin around the world? Are you speaking for Me?
As a matter of fact, you are. You are speaking for Me, with Me, or you are mumbling. Which is it?
I am not on a popularity campaign. I do always seek you to gain trust, trust in Me, trust in you. Confidence in Me, confidence in you.
I have climbed the mountain, beloveds. I am the Energy of Creation. I do not wish to leave even one of My children on an isolated island. I bring you to the Land of Vastness, and here We abide. Here We abide as One. We are not only on the same side, We are One and the Same. Because of your immersion in ignorance, this isn’t easy for you to accept. You understand so far with one eye open and one eye closed. Know I am for you.
Trust is that frequently offered word that can propel you. It puts discussion aside. It says, “Okay, God, with You, I go. Take me by the hand.”
It is not just a coincidence that sometimes you refer to Me as Father. What a connotation the word Father holds. Father.
I, God, am Everything to you. I am the rising of the Sun and the tide of the Ocean. I gave you life. I give you life still. You exist with Me. In My image, you come to know yourself. This is how it is with Us, the imagined you who sets yourself aside from Me without Whom you do not exist to even set yourself aside!
We are each other’s right arm. We are like twins of Unity. We are the lay of the land.
Dip into My heart, My beloved. Reconcile yourself with Me as We take a jaunt through this spectacle called life. We are on the trip of Our lives. You, that aspect of Me called you, not only travels on the Earth, but embraces life on Earth and makes it your own. You claim your life. You whiz through it, and you stumble through it, and you call My Name. “God, God, God.” And you may despair of Me, wondering where I am and how it is that you cannot see Me and know what I am thinking.
You bring out smiles in Me. Your notions make Me smile. With affection, I smile.
We come from Heaven. If Truth were known, you would know that you are here still with Me, you in love, you, very much at home here in Heaven.
I said a word, and you came into existence, an image of Me. I took you on. I brought you, the speculative you, to My house of many mansions. I took others on as well who each had a relationship with Me as you do. Some know it not that I am here with you through thick and thin, only there is no thin. You perceive thin when you feel far away from Me.
Do not despair. It is not possible for you to shake loose of Me. I am with you. I am Father. I also am Mother who secures you to her heart. You are My first-born, as it were. We are not only like One. We are One. We are a many-splendored One. We are the One of All. We are the Light of the Universe, and We are the Light of Heaven, and We are the Light of all that transfers on Earth, in heart and mind, in everyone and everything. Without the One of Us, what exists? Without the One of Us, what love would there be, and Who would know it, feel it, and give it?
