Before you ask them to forgive you Dear One, forgive yourself first.

What do you think would happen Dear One, what do you think the result would be, if you refocused all of the energy that you have been exerting on trying to be good enough, to being happy instead?

We are not going to give you the answer to this one.

If you really want to know, you’re going to have to try it and find out for yourself.

When you create peacefully Dear One, you are creating peace, you are attracting peacefulness to you, you are in the process of manifesting peaceful people, events, and circumstances into your life.

When you create from a place of stress, from a place of agitation, desperation, pessimism or fear, you are engaging in the process of manifesting into your life people, events, and circumstances that will bring you more of the same.

Create consciously Dear One, create with love, with excitement, with confidence and hope, and guess what it is that you are going to get more of as a result?

Creation is not just about creating Dear One; it is not just about the actions that you take to get something done.

There is so much more to it than that.

How you feel while you are doing it matters, so pay attention.

You are in control of the flow Dear One, you are the one determining the direction that things move in your life, you are the one determining what is moving towards you and what is moving away from you, in any given moment.

Do you want to know how you are doing it?

• Joy attracts, anger repels
• Love attracts, hate repels
• Confidence attracts, ego repels
• Compassion attracts, judgment repels
• Faith attracts, fear repels

Are you getting the gist of it?

If you take responsibility Dear One, you leave no one to blame but yourself.

When you take responsibility, you are making a commitment to ask yourself about every situation, circumstance, and relationship that you should find yourself in; Did I create this consciously, intentionally, and on purpose, or did I create this unconsciously, unintentionally, and without thought?

Responsibility is the single most powerful tool at your disposal Dear One, that can help you to get yourself from where you are to where you want to be.

So, what do you think?

Are you are ready to be responsible?

Are you ready to take responsibility?

There are three things that you should know about guilt Dear One:

• No one can make you feel guilty. Feeling guilty is a choice that only you can make for yourself.

•  Guilt’s greatest function is to serve as an anchor that holds you in a position of weakness.

•  The quickest way to relieve yourself from guilt is by taking responsibility, by shifting yourself from a position of weakness to one of authority over your own life.

• The first most absolutely useful thing that you can do for yourself today Dear One, is to feel good.

• The second most absolutely thing that you can do is to focus on, think about, and speak of only that which is wanted, that which is desired, that which you believe will make you feel even better, and to only take actions that you believe will move you closer to it.

You are the author of your life Dear One.

You are the one writing your story.

You are the only one who gets to decide what kind of story it will be.

• Do you want it to be a story about joy, love, compassion, bravery, or connection?   About creativity, taking a risk, forgiveness, patience or perseverance?

• Or do you want it to be a story about fear, guilt, getting by, playing it safe, or making excuses?  About jealousy, anger, ego, hatred, frustration or giving up?

You’ve got total creative freedom Dear One.

Write yourself well!

It is not your accomplishments that determine your success or failure Dear One.

It is how you feel while you are accomplishing them that does.

Slow down, pay attention, be conscious, be deliberate, and enjoy yourself.

Look for the best that is available to you in each and every moment, and failure will not even be an option.

If you want to know what freedom feels like Dear One, if you want to know what it feels like to be free, to fly — you’ve got to be willing to jump.

There is no other way.
