Heaven Letters

Rising to the Occasion

God said:
Being true to yourself doesn’t mean that you do not also set an example for the world. If you are in a position of leadership, you do not let everything hang out.

If you are a manager, you are a leader! If you are a teacher, you are a leader. As a matter of fact, everyone is a leader, and everyone has responsibility to all ends of the Earth.

If you are the manager of a company, no matter how tired you may feel, no matter how much you have not wanted to come to work this morning, it is not for you to tell your employees that you didn’t want to come to work. If you do so, you de-inspire your team. You do not have to tell a lie. You do not have to say: “Wow, was I eager to get to work this morning, to battle the traffic, to put on a suit and tie.” You don’t have to say: “I always love to come in to work. Gosh, on weekends I wish I could be coming in to work instead of going fishing.”

It is incumbent upon you to rise to the occasion, however. There is no rule of honesty that you have to tell the world you didn’t want to come into work. Be cheerful and pleasant. You may truthfully find that you are re-enlivened. You may begin to truthfully feel more energetic.

You can be true to yourself and inspire others. Look at it this way: You are not true to yourself when you cast a shadow. Besides, everyone else may well follow you.

What if I said to you: “Look, I’m just too tired and busy to inspire anyone today.” Of course, I am never tired or too busy and all that. There is no possibility of this with Me.

And you are a responsible person, and you have responsibility to others. It is being true to yourself to recognize that others follow you. This is real. You are not a fake. You are true to yourself and true to Me and true to the needs of others as well as your own.

When it comes to moods, you don’t have to say anything. You certainly don’t have to say everything. You can keep silent, why not? You can be discreet. It’s no small thing the example you set.

You may truthfully have a hundred difficulties. You don’t have to describe them. Sometimes you simply have to say nothing.

Once in a while, it could be more responsible of you to rest and stay home.

If you are a receptionist, you are a leader. You greet everyone. Greet everyone well. Being a receptionist is not about your convenience or inconvenience. Remind yourself that you, inevitably, when it comes down to it, are a receptionist for Me. You are My receptionist to the world.

Long ago, I told you: “Say, Yes!” I also tell you that absolutely there are times when you must say No. You cannot be the answer to everyone’s prayers. You are not at the beck and call of everyone. There has been a tendency in the world, however, to say No. Sometimes No is an automatic response. No is not necessarily more valid than Yes. I am suggesting that you pay attention to Yes. Pay attention.

Know when to say Yes. Know when to say No, and know when to say nothing because there is more to a story than how you feel at any particular moment. There is also how you influence those around you. Now We come closer to Greatness.
