Today we have a request for you Dear One.

We would like to see you share more, to have more open, honest, and genuine shared experiences with those around you.

We would like to see you share your true self more; your ideas, thoughts, feelings, laughter, tears, questions, fears, doubts, beliefs, creativity, love, compassion, and so on.

Interact, exchange, contribute, collaborate, merge, network, reach out, unite, keep in touch, correspond, connect, every single chance that you get.

Why?

What happens when you mix two colors together Dear One? What happens when you mix two ingredients? What happens when you mix musical notes, or numbers, or letters?

The answer is that something new happens, something different happens, and more often then not, something beautiful happens.

So now do you understand the reason for our request?

Now get out there and mix it up.

It’s not luck that creates good fortune Dear One.

It’s not chance, nepotism, or hard work either.

It’s choice.

You can not change the past Dear One.
You can’t undo that which has been done.
It’s just not possible.

It is not within your power to do so.

Isn’t that great news?

So you can finally let yourself off the hook and give yourself permission to stop wasting your time, energy and effort wishing, hoping, and praying that things could have been different.

But what is within your power to change, is the way that you feel about an event, circumstance, or experience from you past.

In any moment you can change what it means to you, you can change how you feel about it, you can change its significance in your life, and most importantly, you can change how you are going to choose to respond to it.

Why not make that moment this one?

Want to know a trick Dear One, that will make taking that first step a whole lot easier?

Instead of imagining all that you could lose, all that could go wrong, and how far you have to go,  imagine all that you could gain, and all that could go right, and all the fun that you could have along the way.

Doing so will not make that first step feel any less steep, but it will make it a whole lot less scary and a whole lot more fun to take.

Avoidance or Creation.

Which path are you going to choose to take today Dear One?

Are you going to make this day about doing your best to avoid that which you do not want to see, hear, feel, or experience, or about creating that which you do?

Choose wisely because these two paths extend out in opposite directions from one another, and will most definitely not lead you to the same place.

The only heart that you have the power to change Dear One, is your own.

Pay attention to your feelings Dear One. Pay attention to what makes you feel good and what makes you feel bad. Take notes if you have to. Your feelings are communicating very useful, valuable, insightful, powerful, revealing, and actionable knowledge to you all the time.

Your emotions are the language that your heart, your soul, your unconscious mind is using to reach out to your conscious self.

Your feelings serve an important function Dear One. They are speaking to you, they are telling you something important about yourself. They are revealing a piece of you to you. They are your heart/soul/unconscious minds way of asking for your attention, of asking for your compassion, for your forgiveness, for your understanding, for your love, for your awareness, for your acknowledgement.

They are inviting you to learn, to grow, to have a deeper understanding of yourself.  They are providing you with an opportunity to shine a light into the darkness, to bring awareness, to bring knowing, to bring consciousness to a place where unconsciousness still lives.

So, now that you know, how are you feeling now Dear One?

*If you have any questions about today reading, please don’t hesitate to ask.  

Take notice of the hands that you are holding onto Dear One, the connections that you are choosing to maintain, and ask yourself;

• Are they holding you up or holding you down?
• Are they pulling you back or pushing you forward?
• Are they leading you in a direction that best serves you or them?

If you are not sure, let go for a little while and find out.

It’s important that you know.

Be optimistic today Dear One. Practice your optimism.

• Think positively
• Speak positively
• Act positively

Move through your day believing, trusting, knowing that everything is going to be ok, that everything is going to work out.

Why?

Because being negative does not serve you in any positive way.  And more importantly, because being negative just doesn’t feel good.

Do you really need a better reason that that?

*We realize that this request may present a bit of a challenge for you Dear One if you are not already in the habit of looking for the bright side of things, but trust us when we tell you that it will be well worth the effort. After all, what have you got to lose?
