Being patient and waiting are two very different things Dear One.

Patience is an act of allowing, of knowing, of creating, of quiet anticipation.  It is fluid, changing, and constantly in motion.  It is a powerful, empowering, and confident choice that requires your active, conscious participation throughout.

Waiting is a passive act.  It is stagnant.  It lacks action, energy, movement, and active participation.   It can be frustrating, stressful, and emotionally unpredictable.  It is an inert, submissive, and unempowered choice that does not require much of you once the decision to wait has been made.

So when you are in a spot Dear One, where you think that what happens next is totally and completely out of your hands, think again.

You’ve still got one more choice to make.

And a pretty important one at that.

The sting caused by the illusion of rejection is a small price to pay for the gift of clarity Dear One.

And you should know that gratitude serves as a great balm for the pain.

When your behaviors are no longer serving you Dear One, when they stop yielding the desired results, when your actions are no longer in alignment with your thoughts, feelings,
and desires – don’t start doubting yourself, your choices, your abilities, or your judgment. Don’t get angry, frustrated, or hopeless.  Don’t start looking for something or someone to blame.

Instead, try remembering that life is constantly changing, and so are you.

If the beliefs, routines, rituals, patterns and behaviors that brought you comfort, security, health, relief and joy yesterday, do not do so today – simply change them.

Chances are Dear One, that you are stronger than you think you are, that you are smarter than you think you are, that you are more resilient, resourceful, talented, creative, clever, useful, needed and loved than you think you are.

But unless you are willing to test your limits, unless are willing to allow yourself to move forward with confidence, to move beyond your self imposed boundaries, open to the possibility that there is more to you then you are aware of, you’ll never know for sure.

We already know what your value is. We already know what you are capable of.

It’s time that you knew it too.

Take a chance today Dear One, and find out.

Take your attention off of that which you do not want for yourself Dear One – immediately.

Stop thinking about it. Stop focusing on. Stop trying to avoid it.  Stop trying to figure out how it came to be and why you are so invested in it.  Just stop.

Focus instead on that which you want, on that which feels good to you, on that which excites you, brings you hope, inspiration, relief, laughter, excitement, anticipation, and joy.

Why?

Because it feels better to do so – and right now we need you feeling better Dear One.

Happy doesn’t just happen Dear One.

If you want it today, you have to choose it today.

So, will you?

It is not our place to try and influence your decision one way or the other.  The choice is yours and yours alone to make. It is entirely up you to. We are just asking.

But with that said, let us just add that we really, really, really hope that you to decide to choose it Dear One.  We will all be the better off for it if you do.

You are not meant to already have all of the answers Dear One.

You are meant to discover them through the experience of living.

That is what you are here for.

So cut yourself a little slack today, okay?

Regardless of the way that you feel about yourself today Dear One, who you are remains the same.

And who you are is divine powerful creator – an essential part of all that is – someone who has the power to create worlds flowing through them – a person worthy of  abundance, joy, healing, forgiveness, respect and love.

Those are the facts Dear One.

Now its up to you to decide what you are going to do with them.
