Start by asking yourself this first, Dear One:
Do you really need help, or do you simply need to remember just how strong, capable, resilient, and powerful you are?
The reason we are asking is to help you figure out if this is going to be an outside job or an inside job.
It will be much easier for you to find the help you are looking for if you know where it is that you need to begin your search.
We really think that you are in need of a surprise today, Dear One.
So, surprise yourself!
Do that which you have been afraid to do.
We already know that you can, that you are able, that you are capable of doing these things, Dear One.
We just think it’s time that you knew it too.
Take a moment, Dear One, to feel the beating of your heart.
It is the energy of the universe that is powering it don’t you know.
It is the vibration/the energy of your spirit that is powering your heart, that is rushing the blood through your veins, that is moving the air through your lungs, that is animating you in this physical reality.
Your soul/spirit powers you just like your creative energy powers the world around you.
That is why creation is considered a sacred act, Dear One. Because when you create, when you expel your energy out into the world, you are breathing life into it, you are animating the universe, keeping it alive.
Spirit and physical realities need each other to exist. We power and empower each other, Dear One.
This is how spirit perpetuates itself.
Do you want to know where you belong, Dear One?
You belong in a place that makes you happy. You belong with people that you love, and that love you. You belong wherever it is that you feel strong, supported, powerful, and creative. You belong where you feel encouraged, inspired, and energized, hopeful, courageous, accepted and safe.
That is where you belong, Dear One.
If, when you look around you, you find that you are not in a place like this, then perhaps it is time for you to acknowledge that where you are, might not be the right place for you.
The realization that you are bound by nothing, Dear One, except for the limitations that you place on yourself, your beliefs, your choices, and your own imagination – that is what true independence is.
Celebrate, embrace, and take advantage of the contrasts in your life, Dear One, don’t curse them. They are a gift.
Without them you would have absolutely no way of judging just how far you’ve come or in which direction you need to be headed.
Don’t help because you think that you should, Dear One – because you think that someone is watching – because you think it is the right thing to do – because you feel pity, fear, guilt or obligation.
Help because you want to. Help because it feels good to you to do so.
Remember, what you put out there is what you get back.
If you don’t mean it Dear One – do yourself a favor, and don’t do it.
However…
Well, you get the idea.
Don’t fake it, Dear One.
Choose a different attitude instead, and then help.
Do you want to know which of your relationships are sustainable, Dear One, and which are not?
If you do, ask yourself this question:
One of the two is sustainable, and the other is not.
It’s just that simple.
But remember this; that letting go of the attachment does not necessarily mean letting go of the relationship. It could mean that. But it could also be the start of something new, something different, something really great.
If it comes down to having to choose, Dear One, between them and you, always choose them.
Always choose them, and you will know what being unloved, what believing yourself to be unworthy of love feels like.
Always choose you, and you’ll never have to know, you’ll never have to experience that pain again.
^^
We want to make this as simple for you as we possibly can, Dear One.
Forgiveness has absolutely, positively, nothing whatsoever to do with them.
It is simply the act of releasing your connection to something that no longer serves you, releasing your bond with something that you no longer want to remain connected to.
It is letting go of the rope, removing your hand from the hot stove, exiting the burning building.
