They are not exhausting you Dear One.

You are exhausting you, by trying to please them, by choosing to prioritize them and their needs above your own.

There is a quick remedy to that you know.

An artist, painting, writing, sculpting, composing, inventing, sketching, designing a piece of art Dear One, can make no wrong move, they can make no wrong choice in the creation of their work – because it is theirs.

It can be big or small, round or square, tall or short, fat or thin, loud or soft, fast or slow, red or blue, you get the idea. It doesn’t matter. There is no “right” answer when it comes to creating art. There is only choice and preference.

And the same is true of life Dear One – there is no “right” answer when it comes to living your life.

Regardless of your vocation, education, skills, experience, sense of color and style, and ability to carry a tune, you are an artist. And your world, the reality that you perceive, is your canvas.

Today, we are going to encourage you to add to it.

Paint, sing, dance, write, create, try, fail, love, live, laugh, cry, speak up, contribute, experience Dear One, every chance that you get, knowing that you can’t get it wrong, knowing that you can’t fail.

From our perspective, from where we are sitting, as long as you are creating, as long as you adding to the picture, you are succeeding, you are doing what you have come forth to do.

So pick up your pen, your paintbrush, your chisel, open your eyes, your heart, your mind, your mouth, and get to it Dear One.

Create.

Succeed.

If it did not make you happy yesterday, or the day before that, or the day before that, what makes you think it is going to make you happy today, or tomorrow, or the next day?

Unhappiness is much too high of a price to pay for loyalty Dear One, to a person, idea, concept, community, or belief.

And if you are not happy, you are not really in a position to have all that much of value to contribute anyway.

You have come to this place to heal this place Dear One.

You did not end up here because you did something wrong.

You are not being punished.  You are not being tested.  You are not being taught a lesson.

You are being given an opportunity to heal.

Take it.

This is how it works.

Peaceful thoughts, peaceful words, peaceful actions, and peaceful beliefs lead to a peaceful day.

So, what kind of day would you like today to be Dear One?

Whatever your answer, make sure that your thoughts, words, actions, and beliefs reflect it.

You are a powerful creator Dear One.

You are so much more powerful that you think you are.

Today, just for the day, behave as if you believe us, behave as if you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that this were true.

Think, speak, choose, and act as if this were an irrefutable fact.

If you can’t muster the strength, courage, and desire Dear One, to do this for yourself,  then do it for us.

What have you got to lose?

Only an open heart can heal Dear One.

Are you ready for change Dear One?

Praying, hoping, and looking for it, thinking about it, talking about it, and planning for it are all really great things to do if you are.

But they are not enough.  They will never be enough.

If you really want to change, if you are truly ready for change in your life, you’re going to have to remember to actually choose it.

Contrary to what you might think, and how it might feel to you at times Dear One, you should know that it is you, your heart, your thoughts, your beliefs, your choices, and your actions, that are commanding the powers of universe.

It is most definitely not the other way around.
