A piece of you is here Dear One, and a piece of you is over there.  A piece of you is at your desk.  A piece of you is worrying about a friend.  A piece of you is planning dinner.  A piece of you is getting ready for what’s next, what if, and what could be. And a piece of you is thinking about all of the things that you need to do, want to do, have done but don’t believe that you have done well enough, and so on.

We get it.  You know how to do multiple things at once (or at least try to).  It is a skill that you have been practicing for most of your life with varing degress of success.

But what if today you tried something new Dear One?

What if today, instead, you practiced doing only one thing a time?

It is the fastest way we can think of that will help you to pull yourself right back together again.

How do you treat someone that you love Dear One?

• Do you call them stupid when they make a mistake?
• Do you call them unattractive when they gain a few pounds?
• Do you call them a loser for coming in 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th, or last even?
• Do you tell them that they are a failure when things don’t work out as planned?
• Do you judge them for not making more money?
• Do you think less of them when they are tired, stressed, or not well?

Do you see where we are going with this?

If you need proof in order to believe Dear One, look for it, and you’ll find it.

Believe us when we tell you that it is far from in short supply.

• Look for proof of abundance, joy, honesty, integrity, generosity, well-being, hope, love, and limitless possibility, and you will find it.

• Look for proof of lack, insincerity, dishonesty, deceit, imbalance, deception, selfishness, and limited resources, and you will find it.

Are you starting to get the idea?

How is it that you go about creating more of what you want in this world Dear One?

We’ll tell you.

There is more kindness in the world when you are kind.

There is more love when you love.

There is more forgiveness when you forgive, more tolerance when you are tolerant, more compassion when you are compassionate, more trust when you trust.

Are you getting the idea?

So, what’s it going to be?  What are you going to make more of today?

Chances are Dear One, that you are stronger than you think you are, that you are smarter than you think you are, that you are more resilient, resourceful, talented, creative, clever, useful, needed and loved than you think you are.

But unless you are willing to test your limits, unless are willing to allow yourself to move forward with confidence, to move beyond your self imposed boundaries, open to the possibility that there is more to you then you are aware of, you’ll never know for sure.

We already know what your value is. We already know what you are capable of.

It’s time that you knew it too.

There is nothing wrong with feeling badly Dear One.

And there is nothing wrong with feeling sad.

There is nothing wrong with feeling angry, jealous, mad, frustrated, judgmental, insecure or uncertain either.

If that is where you are at, if that is what you are genuinely feeling in your heart, then yes, by all means, you should honor those feelings and allow yourself to experience them fully, to learn from them, and understand what they are trying to teach you.

BUT, we want you to know that it is also honorable for you to choose not to.  It is also honorable for you to choose to prioritize your desire to feel better over whatever bad feeling you may be experiencing in the moment.  It is honorable Dear One, for you to decide to not give your attention to things that don’t feel good to you and choose instead, to give it only to things that do.

Do you understand what we are saying?

Your life is meant to be a journey Dear One; a wonderful, exciting, enlightening, inspiring, challenging, mind blowing, creative, collaborative journey.

It’s not a job.

So quit treating it like one.

Let go and let yourself enjoy the day.

Trust yourself Dear One.

Don’t wait for someone else’s approval. Don’t wait to find someone who’s done it before.  Don’t wait for someone to agree with you. Don’t wait until you are sure before you try.

Say it. Do it. Build it. Create it. Try it. Go for it.  Now.

Because what a shame it would be for you and everyone around you, if your thoughts, your ideas, your opinions, your perspective, your brilliance, if all of the things that make you uniquely you, were never shared because someone else didn’t think of them first.
