Before you do anything else today Dear One, stop and do something that makes you smile.

Think a happy thought, dance a jig, tell someone you love them, eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, anything at all will do.

If you can’t do it, if you can’t think of even one thing to do that will make you smile, stop, sit down, and do nothing else until you can.

Trust us Dear One, this will not be a waste of your time.

In fact, it just may be one of the most productive things you do for yourself all day.

Do you want to know what you can do to feel braver Dear One, to be braver?

We’ll tell you.

Being braver does not require that you become physically or emotionally stronger than you already are. It does not require that you become more fearless or aggressive than you already are either. Nor does it require you to take more risks, be more courageous, or be more willing to just-do-it.

All that is required for you to be braver than you already are Dear One, is for you to trust more.

The best way to start getting what you want Dear One, is to stop giving your attention to all of those things that you do not want.

That’s all there is to it!

Do you think that you could decide right now Dear One, that you are going to look for, acknowledge, and speak about only the positive, the promising, the possible, the best in every person that you interact with today?

We know it won’t be easy, but we promise you that what you’ll discover on the other side of doing so will totally be worth it.

Are you up for the challenge?

You and you alone are responsible for your experience on this journey Dear One.

• You are responsible for your feelings.
• You are responsible for your actions.
• You are responsible for your reactions.
• You are responsible for your beliefs.
• You are responsible for your words.

Do you get it?

If we were you, if we were the ones standing in your shoes in this physical reality, we would spend as little time as we possibly could indulging in opportunities that inspired us to feel inferior, offended, disappointed, discouraged, let down, powerless, angry, or unworthy, and instead spend our time indulging in opportunities that encouraged us to feel powerful, worthy, loved, motivated, optimistic, connected, compassionate, generous, joyful, happy, centered, and at ease, as often as we possibly could.

But that’s just us.

Do you want to know what you can do right this minute Dear One, to start turning things around?

We’ll tell you.

• Start choosing things that you want over things that you don’t want
• Start choosing activities that you like over activities that you don’t like
• Start choosing people that make you smile over people that don’t
• Start choosing thoughts that make you feel good over thoughts that make you feel badly

That’s how.

The time to compromise Dear One, is not when you are feeling compromised, weak, ill, needy, or out of sorts.

That is the time for you to practice radical self-love.

And while we understand that choosing to do so may feel like the selfish choice to you, especially because it means that you are potentially letting someone else down when they need you, we can assure you, that it most definitely is not.

Choosing to practice radical self-love when you are not functioning at full strength, is actually the most selfless thing that you can do to serve the greatest good of all parties involved.

Here’s why:

1. It will help you to heal and regain your strength as quickly as possible so that you will once again be in a position to be able to confidently and generously share your energy with those around you.
2. It will give them an excellent model to follow so they can begin doing the same for themselves.

Are you having a hard time finding love Dear One?  Do you feel as if you have been looking for it everywhere and that it is constantly eluding you?

If that is the case, we may be able to help. We may be able to shed some light onto the subject of why your search has not yet yielded you the results that you were hoping for, that you were expecting .

Love is not something that you search for.  Love is not something that you find.  It is something that you allow.

If you want more love in your life Dear One, try changing your mindset, try changing your approach.

Try opening yourself to allow love into your life instead of trying to chase it downs and see if that does not change the ease with which it flows into your experience.

You’ll always find what you are looking for Dear One.

That’s just the way it works.

So what is it that you would like to see more of today?

• The best in them
• The worst in them
• Or the God in them

If you want to see more of the divine Dear One, experience more of the divine in your life and in the world around you, all you’ve got to do is  remember to look for it.
