If you want things to be different today Dear One, do things differently.

Don’t just wait, wish, hope, pray and pine for it.

Do it.

You are not becoming anything Dear One.

You already are everything that you are ever going to be.

You are divine.  You are limitless. You are eternal.  You are powerful beyond belief.

And our job is to help you to come to realize this truth, believe it, and prove it to yourself, one glorious experience at a time.

Let us.

Lighten up Dear One.

It’s okay to not take it all so seriously – whatever it is – even the really, really serious stuff – seriously.

We say this to you not to disrespect, trivialize, dismiss or belittle whatever very difficult, important or challenging situation, circumstance or event you might be dealing with at the moment.

We say this to you to help you to remember that you can choose to face it, deal with it and move past it with ease, grace, joy, confidence and levity just as easily as you can with intensity, struggle, stress, fear and doubt.

But don’t take our word for it.  Lighten up Dear One and find out for yourself.

What are you thinking about Dear One, what exactly are you trying to create for yourself when you neglect the physical needs of your body, ignore your instincts, compromise your integrity, disregard your hearts desires, spend beyond your means, allow yourself to be guided by fear, anger, hatred, regret, self loathing, or greed?

What is the grand plan here?

Where do you think these choices, these actions, these behaviors are going to lead you?

If you think that is going to be somewhere good, somewhere that you are going to be happy about when you arrive, think again Dear One.

Imagine if you can for a minute Dear One (longer if possible), things exactly as you want them to be.

Don’t just think about it.  Picture it in your mind.  Feel it in your heart.  Allow yourself to really go there.

• What does it feel like?
• What does it look like?
• What does it sound, smell and taste like?

Are you seeing it? Are you feeling it?  Are you excited about it? Are you enjoying the imagined experience of it?

If so, you have just done more in that one minute (or longer) to bring yourself closer to having it, then all of the efforts you have exerted up until now trying to create it for yourself focused on not having it.

Sometimes trying harder is not the answer Dear One.

Sometimes taking a break is.

Trust yourself enough to know if this is one of those times.

How do you know for sure?

Ask your heart.  It will tell you.

There can be no great future Dear One, if there is no great present.

The very best thing that you can do to create a better tomorrow is to get happy today.

You don’t strengthen your heart the same way that you strengthen your biceps Dear One.

You don’t work it harder to make it stronger.

Reps of repetitive, challenging, difficult, painful emotions are not going to create the desired effect.

The heart thrives on love Dear One, on compassionate, peaceful, trusting, joyful, loving energy.

If you want to get stronger, if you want to strengthen your heart,  don’t put your energy into seeking out new ways that will allow you to endure difficult situations, people, emotions and circumstances for longer periods of time, seek out new ways that will help you to let go of them instead.

There are two ways that you can get there Dear One.

You’ve got two options to choose from:

• The easy way
• The hard way

You can get there through hard work, struggle, suffering and great sacrifice or….

You can get there through joy.

It’s your choice.

So, how do you want to get there Dear One?

Which are you going to choose today?

Do you want to know how to get past a bad feeling as quickly as possible Dear One?

• Don’t fight it
• Don’t fear it
• Don’t ignore it
• Don’t try and stop it, change it or run away from it
• Don’t get mad at it either

All you have to do to get past it Dear One, is let it come.

And then let it go again, knowing that the sooner that you do, the sooner it will be on its way.
