Today we say goodbye to you Dear One, and we ask that you say goodbye as well.

We say goodbye to all of your sorrows, goodbye to all of your grief, goodbye to all of your old hurts and goodbye to all of your uncertainty, insecurity, worry and fear.

We are sure that they have served you well, but if you need them no longer, it is time to say goodbye.

Say it with us.

• Goodbye troublesome thoughts.  Goodbye worrisome feelings.  Goodbye sleepless nights. Goodbye sadness.  Goodbye anger.  Goodbye anxiety, worry, and angst.
• Goodbye to all of the things in my life that I no longer need, that no longer serve me.
• I release you.

You can choose to say goodbye Dear One and mean it, and make room in your life for something new or you can make a different choice.

But either way, in this moment, in every moment, you must choose, to say goodbye or to hold on.

In this moment, what’s it going to be?  What are you going to choose?

Our greatest wish for you Dear One, our only wish for you, is that you feel worthy, empowered, inspired, motivated to pursue people, passions, pleasures and pastimes that you love, that excite you, that have meaning for you, that make you smile, laugh, connect, feel.

Why?

So that you will experience greater joy in your life.

And why do we want that?

Because when you are joyful Dear One, you are bringing more joy into the world, into existence — You are creating, expanding and shaping your world and all that is through joy and THAT benefits us all.

(And we also do it for the pure pleasure of it, for the fun, enjoyment and satisfaction that it brings us to do so.)

We are not going to try to discourage you from making self-destructive choices, repeating self-destructive patterns or engaging in self-destructive relationships Dear One.

This is your life and you are free to make any old choice that pleases you.

But what we are going to do is try and help you to become more aware of the fact that you are doing so.

We want you to think about/be aware of every single choice that you make.  We want you to make each choice purposefully, deliberately and consciously with the intention of allowing/experiencing greater joy in your life.

If you are making choices that are harming you, we would like for you to be fully aware of the fact that you are doing so.

This is your life Dear One and you are free to make any old choice that pleases you.

If the choices that you are making are not pleasing you, then we are going to encourage you to start making different choices.

Whatever it is that is bothering you Dear One, whatever it is that you are struggling with, deal with it/face it/confront it or choose to let it go.

Those are really the only two options available to you that will ever serve you in any positive way.

All others; anger, resentment, denial, rationalization, self pity, self righteousness, and so on,  will only serve to prolong, intensify or increase your suffering.

But don’t just take our word for it.  Experience is a far better teacher that we ever could be.

When you are in doubt Dear One, and don’t know what to do next,  what choice to make next, what direction you want to move in next, instead of getting caught up in an exhausting cycle of uncertainty, choose to be grateful instead – find something to be grateful for instead– and trust that when you make room for it, the answer that you are looking for will come to you.

And if it does not come to you right away – at least the time you spend waiting will be time well spent.  ;)

Your life is not lacking opportunities Dear One.  All that it is lacking is a little imagination.

Creativity is one of the most powerful tools at your disposal.    Use it.

It can turn an old tire into a swing, a stone into a gem, a blank canvas into a masterpiece.

It can transform a garage into a workshop, an office into a studio, an idea into an empire and a dream into a reality.

Dust off your imagination Dear One and begin to exercise your creative muscle and you will be amazed to see that with it, the number of opportunities available to you are literally endless.

Tell the truth Dear one.  Be honest.

Not because it is the right thing to do.  Not because you think you should.  Not because doing so will bring you closer to the divine.  Not because someone is keeping score.  (We can assure you, they are not.)

We encourage to you tell the truth Dear One because it feels good to do so – because doing so feels better than not doing so.  We encourage honesty because of the way it makes you feel, because it allows you to live a more open, genuine, authentic life.  Because it allows you to feel brave, worthy, honorable and at ease with yourself.

We want you to tell the truth Dear One not because it serves us or the greater good or your fellow man for you to do so, but simply because it serves you to do so.

The idea here is not for you to try and figure out which answer is the right answer Dear One.   There is no right answer.

There are only experiences that you choose, and experiences that you don’t choose.

Does that make it any easier?

 Never save the best for last, always choose it first.    

Every decision that you make, every action that you take, every single activity, thought or behavior that you choose Dear One, influences your experience of and has an impact on every other that follows it.

Would you rather have the best of what’s possible influencing what comes next for you, or the worst?

You want things to be different Dear One?

Do something differently.

That’s the secret.

Tell everyone.
