THE MESSAGE

Good day to you again. My topic today, is one you’ll be a tad familiar with you at this moment in your time. It is that of over-indulgence.
Yes, I’m aware, by how your body energy is feeling to me, that you’ve done a bit of over-indulgence yourself in the past few days.
But there is more meaning to the phrase than eating and drinking too much. Of course, that is over-indulgence, but the words stretch way beyond those simple pleasures.
There are a great many other words that can be closely connected with over-indulgence. The root of it is greed -a negative emotional state to avoid.
People in your world nowadays appear to obsess with things like food, drink, drugs, assets and possessions, sex and even other people.
Greed is an unpleasant trait for anyone to partake of in no matter what form or manner. Greed is a personality disorder that can, and often does effect the physical, biological and emotional state, not in a good way.
People seem to want everything now and often without waiting and working for it. When someone saves their money, the thing they want becomes more valued and looked after. But when their greed, their over-indulgence rules their decisions, their desires become the least important, whereas then greed drives them to get it, by whatever means they can, immediately. That is over-indulgence at its worst.
Everything on God’s earth has value. The humble lettuce, the loaf of bread, the fresh water, the sunlight and the air. But because these things often appear in abundance, the person’s drive to be greedy, to over-indulge takes hold of their morals and their thoughts on life.
Just because something is available doesn’t mean that you need it. Just because you don’t have it, doesn’t mean you need to get it. Especially not, just because your neighbour has it.
A good word to throw into the mix now is restraint. People that restrain from things are usually always the ones that are better off for it.
Compare the two emotional traits side by side. Over-indulgence and restraint. Which feels right, and which wrong?
Those people who choose to participate in habits for the pleasure alone, soon find out that all they want is more of it. And then more still. Greed is the outcome.
Fame and fortune is another example of over-indulgence. Wanting more attention, more of the spotlight, without reason or rhyme, other than to over-indulge their egos.
My dearest friend, walking, and breathing God’s air as a person of restraint is a wonderful quantity and more inline with the desires of your soul’s purpose. To give and not to takeover when you could. To stay silent even when you have words to share. To wish someone well, even when you might perceive them as an enemy or rival. Those are the ways of the restrained person.
Some might even consider over-indulgence as a disease, a mental disorder. It’s not. Its greed at it’s worst. My lesson for you reading my words this day in your time is to work with the word restraint at the forefront of your mind. Remember that common phrase,
” Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should”.
Think, “I can, but I won’t” instead. Live your life with restraint, reserved and in order. Everything in proportion. Anything else is over-indulgence and as I’ve said, that is nothing more than greed.
My friend, thank you for transposing my words so enthusiastically and as I wanted them. You go and have a good day.
Goodbye.
