Give all of your attention only to that which is wanted today Dear One, in all situations, under all circumstances, no matter what.

That does not mean that we want you to force yourself to pretend to be happy, hopeful, healthy, or helpful when that is not genuinely what you are feeling.

What it means is that we want you to give yourself permission to turn your head and choose a different view or a different perspective, to imagine a different outcome, if what you see is not what you want.

Learning how to be brave Dear One, is not about learning how to ignore your fears.  It is not about learning how to summon up the courage to push, force, or convince yourself to do something that you are afraid to do, that you don’t think you are capable of doing.

Learning how to be brave is about learning how to listen to and trust that part of yourself that knows exactly what it is that you are capable of, that knows exactly how much you can endure, that knows exactly just how powerful, clever, resilient, valuable, and strong you are, and prioritizing that voice above every other one that is telling you otherwise.

What do you think would happen Dear One, if as an alternative to digging in, tensing up, shutting down, or pinching yourself off from well-being in anger, frustration, fear, hopelessness, or self-righteousness when facing a conflict, you relaxed, trusted, let go, accepted what was, and allowed yourself to open up to it instead?

If you don’t already know the answer, why not try it and find out?

Do you want to know where you should start Dear One?

Start by getting happy.

And if getting happy feels like to big of a step for you, then start with a thought that makes you smile.

But before you take one more step, before you make one more decision, before you move forward in any direction, do something, anything, big or small, that brings joy to your heart and puts a smile on your face.

Any action taken from a place of joy, a place of hope, a place that feels good to you, will always yield you far better and more productive results than any taken from a place of fear, frustration, distrust, hesitance, anger, concern, guilt, stress, sadness or grief.

So,when in doubt Dear One, when you are unsure of what it is that you need to do next, remember that joy is always a great place to begin.

Where you are going matters so much more than where you have been Dear One.

There is no force in the universe that is strong enough to change you Dear One, if you are not ready to change yourself.

But once you decide that you are, there is no force strong enough to stop you.

You mustn’t let a fear of rejection stop you from following your heart Dear One.

Rejection will not kill you.

We promise you that.

But repression just might, if you make a habit of it.

Do you want to know how you can be sure that you are always making the wise choice Dear One?

We’ll tell you.

• The wise choice is never going to be the angry choice.
• The wise choice is never going to be the desperate choice.
• The wise is never going to be the fearful, insecure, jealous, vengeful, or spiteful choice.
• And it is most definitely not ever going to be the malicious, resigned, manipulative, or controlling choice either.

So, if you are trying to figure out what the wise choice is Dear One, and the choice you are about to make comes close to resembling any of the above, know that you have not found it yet.

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.
