Things can feel out of control Dear One, when your desires and your actions are not in alignment.

• You can’t reach joy with actions fueled by regret or sadness.
• You can’t reach contentment with actions fueled by impatience or frustration.
• You can’t reach love with actions fueled by loss or desperation.
• You can’t reach abundance with actions fueled by fear or scarcity.

Don’t be surprised when actions fueled by insecurity, obligation, fear or a sense of loyalty don’t yield the results you were hoping for.

Align your actions with your desires Dear One and you will find that there will be much less of a discrepancy between what it is you are wanting and what it is that is showing up for you.

Optimism is a very powerful tool at your disposal Dear one and we would love to see you pull it out and use it a great deal more than you have been.

The thing about optimism is that it really is one of those all or nothing kind of things .  You are either optimistic or you are not.

This is a yes or no, a stand still or leap choice for you Dear One.  And we want to wholeheartedly and enthusiastically encourage you to jump, leap, soar right into optimism, completely, 100%, without any hesitation.

Decide right now that you are going to look for and see only the best in every person, situation or circumstance in your life.  Don’t think about it – just do it.

We can assure you, your life will be all the better for it.

What have you got to lose?

Pessimism, doubt and judgement will all still be there for you if you should find that you really just can’t live without them.

Make yourself smile today Dear one.

How?

By making choices that make you smile.

The world needs you in the present moment Dear One.  Your friends and love ones need you in the preset.  Your physical body needs you in the present. And we need you in the present – as that will always be our strongest point of connection.

The past is over Dear One.  There is nothing more for you to do there.   There is nothing more you can do there.  And the future does not yet exist.

Join us here, won’t you?

You are here to have an experience of being alive Dear One.

You can’t get it wrong.  You simply cannot.   Just like you can’t order the wrong flavor of ice cream.  No flavor is wrong.  Each flavor is just different.

The more you order – the more flavors you will get a chance to taste –  the more you will discover what your personal preferences are.  Some flavors you will like, some you will love, and some you will discover that you don’t like much at all.

But with each choice Dear One, you are learning.

As long as you keep choosing, as long as you continue to taste all that you want to taste, and allow yourself to continue to have new experiences, you can’t get it wrong.  We promise you that.

You now officially have one less thing to worry about!

Its time to start enjoying yourself/enjoying life more Dear One, and stop putting so much effort into trying to please those around you, especially at the expense of your own happiness.

Do things that bring you joy, that make you smile, that make you happy, and you will be in a far greater position to please those around you then you would be when you sacrifice your own well being for theirs.

If you are not happy yourself Dear One, what could you possibly have to offer anyone else that would be of any real value to them anyway?

You mustn’t let a fear of rejection stop you from following your heart Dear One.

Rejection will not kill you.  We promise you that.

But repression might, if you make a habit of it.

Don’t let doubt and fear dominate your thinking and influence all that you do.  Open up Dear One.  Open up wide, and say what it is you really want to say and do what it is that you really want to do.

Act courageously, and then celebrate the fact that you have done so – regardless of the outcome.

Your heart will thank you for it, in more ways than one.

Are you troubled by what is Dear One, or by your anticipation of what might, could, may, someday, possibly come to pass?

It is worth taking a moment to figure out, as the answer just may provide you with a great deal of immediate relief.

Are you anticipating less than desirable outcomes, unpleasant circumstance or unwanted results?

If you are going to project yourself into the future via your thoughts, why not project yourself into a future that is pleasant, wonderful, joyous, balanced, prosperous, full of love and that feels good?

If you get to choose the thoughts that you think, which oh by the way you do, why would you choose to imagine yourself anywhere but where it is you really want to be?

Change your thoughts Dear One and you just may find that you have much less to be troubled about than you thought you did.

The problem Dear One, is not with you – or with the people around you – or with your situation – or with the circumstances you now find yourself in.  The only problem or dilemma that you have that needs fixing, as far as we can tell, is your thinking – Your thoughts about yourself, about the people around you, about your situation,  about your circumstances, about what’s possible.

And your thoughts Dear One, are and always will be, well within your power to change.

So, what was the problem again?

Leaping and being pushed are two completely different experiences Dear One.

A friend that encourages you to leap is a good friend indeed.

A friend that pushes you over the edge, with or without your consent, is no friend at all.

When exiting a comfort zone Dear One, you should always do so by choice, by your own free will.

Leaping and being pushed do not both land you in the same place.

Remember that.
