It is only scary before you try Dear One, before you know.

If you want to move past the fear, you’re going to have to do it and find out.

Don’t try harder Dear One.

Try more joyfully.

Remember Dear One, you don’t have to choose to go with their flow, to get caught up in their energy, to move to their rhythm, to dance to their beat, to take part in their story.

You can if you want to!

You can choose to participate, to get swept up in, to interact with, and respond to it if you would like.  And Dear One — and this is so very important that we want you to pay very close attention to what we are going to tell you next, ok?  Here it goes.

You can also choose not to.

When you see they are hurting, when you see they are struggling, when you see they are lost, confused or in pain and want to help, but don’t know how — Love them Dear One.

There is no more useful thing that you can do.

We know that sometimes love does not seem like enough, but trust us, it is.

Love heals. Love inspires. Love transforms.  Love can do a great many things.

• Don’t pity them
• Don’t fear for them
• Don’t be sad for them
• Don’t join them in their grief

See them as well.  See them as whole.  See them as prosperous.  See them as confident.  See them healed.  See them as the person that they want to be.  Hold an image of them in your mind and in your heart of them that they are not yet able to hold for themselves.

You can’t give your attention to their pain, to their struggle, to their problem and help to be a part of the solution Dear One.

If you really want to help, if you really want to make a difference, just keep loving them.

It truly is the best and most useful thing that you can do, for them and for you.

What they think of you does not determine  your worth Dear One.

But what you think of you does.

So, what do you think of you?

The energy that creates worlds is within you right now Dear One, flowing to you, flowing through you, flowing from you.  Whether you choose to believe it or not, whether you are conscious of it or not, you are swimming in it, interacting with it, creating with it, every minute of every day.

And yet you act as if all is ordinary, unremarkable, unchanging in your world – you behave as if something miraculous is not happening to you, right now.

Well you should know Dear One, that it is.

There is a lot that you could be stressed and distressed about today Dear One, and there is a lot that you could feel good about and be grateful for too.

Do you want to spend your day giving your attention to that which distresses you or do you want to spend it focused on that which feels good to you?

Looks like you’ve got a decision to make.

Building up your defenses Dear One, putting up a wall, is one way that you can try and protect yourself from the world, but you should know that is far from the best or most effective way to do so.

Cutting yourself off, hiding yourself away, indulging in suspicion, fear, doubt, anger, and defensiveness are all actions that will, above all else, only serve to weaken you over time.  The more you indulge in them, the more they will wear you down, the worse you will feel, the more vulnerable you will be.

But love will build you up. Trust will empower you. Confidence will strengthen you. Positive, joyful, meaningful, connections that you enjoy will make you stronger, will build up your strength.  The more you indulge in them up, the more powerful you will feel, the more powerful you will be.

If you want to protect yourself Dear One, open up, trust, make new connections, build up your confidence by joyfully engaging with the world.

If you really want to protect yourself Dear One, build bridges not walls.

Don’t try to make your life bigger Dear One.

Allow it to expand.

Doing so requires much less effort, and will yield you far better results.

If you are constantly feeling like you don’t measure up Dear One, that you are not rich enough, or tall enough, or smart enough or thin enough, etc., we’ve got a very simple solution for you that will help you to get over it in a heartbeat.

Stop measuring.
