Never try to change who you are Dear One.  Never try to be something or someone that you are not.

You are divine, brilliant, beautiful, full of possibility, capable of anything, just as you are.  Within you is the power to create worlds.

Feel free to change your circumstances, your surroundings, your feelings, your attitude, your mood, the company that you keep, the choices that you make, for the better, to something more pleasing to you, anytime you’d like!

But don’t try to change who you are Dear One.  Never change that.  You are the only one of you that there is and the world needs you, just as you are.

You have gotten used to too much of everything Dear One.

Too much stress, too much sadness, too much work, too much anger, too much fear, too much uncertainty, too much information, too much heartache, too much confusion.

You have gotten so accustomed to too much, that by comparison, anything less feels like not enough.

You have left little room for yourself to just be – with your thoughts, with your relationships, with your work, with your finances, with you, just as you are.

You’ve created a reality where you feel badly when you’ve got what you think
you want, which is too much, and you feel badly when you have anything less
than that.

Too much of anything is not good for you Dear One.  Too much of everything is worse. It is not at all surprising to us that you would feel poorly, overwhelmed, stress out, physically ill even, when that’s just what you’ve got, when that is what you are creating for yourself, when that is what you have become accustomed to.

It is completely understandable that in this state, there are days that you want to quit, give up, resign.

BUT, what if instead of burning out, giving up, or quitting Dear One  – you change instead?

You know what is right for you Dear One, what will best serve you – as well as you know what is right, what will best serve the whole, all that is.

You know this because they are one in the same.

If you want to help them grieve Dear One:

• Ask them what happened
• Ask them how they are doing
• Ask them how they are feeling

If you want to help them heal:

• Ask them to tell you about the one that they lost
• Ask them to tell you what they love most about them
• Ask them to tell you how they made them laugh
• Ask them to tell you how they made them feel
• Help them to remember, and re-connect, with love not loss

Keep choosing what you know, what’s familiar, what’s safe, what’s predictable, and you will continue to get more of what you’ve already got Dear One.

If more of the same is what you want, keep right on doing what you are doing, thinking what you are thinking, feeling what you are feeling.  Keep your mindset, your beliefs, your intentions, exactly as they are.

However if what you want is something different, something more, something new, something adventurous, something unexpected, you are going to have to trust Dear One – trust us, trust yourself, trust the universe, trust in something or someone enough to allow yourself to choose differently this time.

What’s it going to be today Dear One; different or the same?

Why would you choose to throw away an opportunity to be happy Dear One?

Why would you not take advantage of joyful experiences when they are within your grasp?

You know that is exactly what you are doing when you choose those things that you feel obligated to do, that you feel you ought to do, that you think others want you to be doing, over those things, people, places and activities that you want to do, that you love to do, that bring you the most pleasure, contentment and joy.

Our advise to you today Dear One: Choose happiness.

Whenever there is a choice to be made, whenever you are in a position where you have to decide between multiple options, which is always – choose happiness.

Always choose that which makes you feel alive, that which excites you, that which invigorates you, that which inspires you, that which holds the most possibility, promise and potential for you, over that which does not.

Always.

Decision made.

Pain is a tool Dear One – an indicator that something is amiss – that something is in need of your attention – in need of your consciousness.

When you are hurting –be gentle with yourself for a while – be careful with yourself for a while – rest for a while, and you will heal Dear One.

Don’t ignore your pain – address it.  That does not mean focusing all of your energy upon it.  You need only to be mindful to do so – mindful of what it is you are wanting to keep/hold on to, and what it is that you are wanting to release.

And once you decide, choose to let it go Dear One.  There is no need to complicate it, contemplate it, or set a lofty intention before you do.  Simply release – let go of your hold on that which is causing you pain and the pain will stop.

Take my hand Dear one and together we will cross great distances.

Together we will rise to any challenge.

Together we will laugh.

Together we will heal.

Together we will smile and inspire others to do the same.

You are not alone Dear One.  You are never alone.

Let’s do this together.

You trust us, we’ll trust you, and together we will change your world.

You are the teller of the story of your life Dear One.  You are the one to decide what kind of story it will be.

You choose (where) YOU want the emphasis to be p-l-a-c-e-d in the telling of it.

• Do you want to emphasize the parts that you like or the parts that you don’t?  All that you have, or all that you lack?
• Do you want to tell a story about your strengths or your weaknesses?  About those things that you love, or those things that you hate?
• Do you want to bring attention to all that you are proud of or those things that you regret most of all?  To the parts of yourself that are hurting or the parts that are healing?
• Do you want to emphasize your triumphs, your successes, and your victories?  Those moments that you were brave, that you summoned courage that you didn’t think you had? Or those moments that paralyzed you, that paralyze you still, where you gave into fear, resignation or defeat?

What’s it going to be Dear One?

What story are you going to choose to tell yourself today?
