Follow the golden path. Follow the law of least resistance, with you in the boat that will take you forward, with the flow of the water. There is nothing you need to feel resistance to.
What other people do, say, think is according their free will. And there is no reason to try to control that, since it has nothing to do with you or your choices. Even if what they do, will affect you in your life - which is normal with the people you love - it still has nothing to do with you.
Nothing will happen to you, that you have not already planned. That does not mean that you are a puppet or that you have “right answers” to follow. It is your free will how you choose to act, say, think. It is your free choice. And if you want to choose to follow the law of least resistance, you will follow the way of Love and Light.
It does not, however, mean that it is a simple or relaxed way. On the contrary. You need to often actively reject the way of the ego and that it often difficult. The ego wants to manipulate, force, win. But it also the way with the greatest resistance.
Which doesn’t mean that people who haven’t - yet - started to choose the way of Love and Light, are not protected from getting hurt. Of course they are. Love surrounds you all. They just don’t now it yet. So when they react, talk, think in ways that is not filled with love, there are consequences that is followed by those actions, words, thoughts. According to Law of attraction. What you are filled by; what you do, say, think is also what you will meet and be surrounded by in your world.
So nobody is “punished” for “bad” behavior. The world you choose to create, is the one you are surrounded by. And there is always an active choice to choose another world. Follow the way that will give you more of what you want. Do you want more love in your life? Love more. Do you want more money? Act as if you are rich (which you are). Do you want adventure, be adventurous. It is a simple mathematic formula. What you want to see more of, you become. Simple to understand, sometimes difficult to follow in a human life. Because what you physically see, hear, experience is not always what you want to see, hear, experience. So live more in your inner world than in the outer world. That is how change is created.
