What you believe Dear One, is so much more important than what is.

In fact, it is the most important thing that there is.

Trying to assess where you are in your life, your level of success, by looking to your past to see where you have been and looking to your future to see where you are heading, will not yield you any meaningful results, Dear One.

Why?

Because the spectrum on which you are standing is eternal. Trying to determine your specific location on a scale that is eternal would be like trying to pinpoint  the location of one specific drop of water in the ocean.

If you want to know where you stand in the spectrum of your life Dear One, with regards to your level of success, answer the only question that will ever be able to provide you with a meaningful answer:

Am I happy right now?

Discipline is a mindset Dear One, an attitude, an approach, a guide, a commitment.
It is not a contract, a commandment, an order, a doctrine, or a law that must be followed.

Discipline is flexible, malleable, adaptable,and strong.
It is not hard, rigid, tough, and unforgiving.

Discipline is the boat on water Dear One, not the rope tethering you to the dock.
It is the compass pointing your way, not the points plotted out on a map
It is the sail, and not the anchor.

Practicing discipline should strengthen you, empower you, guide you, help you to feel stronger, freer, more connected and in-synch with the world around you. Not frustrate you, weaken you, and leave you feeling depleted and restricted.

If what you are practicing is not serving you in all of these positive ways Dear One, there is a very good chance that what you are practicing is not discipline at all, but that you are just being hard on yourself, and that is not the same thing.

You want to be surrounded by more people who “get you” Dear One?

We’ll tell you how to do it.

Don’t go in search of them.

Reveal more of yourself, reveal more of who you really are to the world in all that you do, and they will find you!

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?

Take a deep breath, let it go, and begin again.

Starting over can be as easy as that Dear One, if you let it be.

Be here.  Now.

• Are you loving your body, Dear One?
• Are you treating it with respect?
• Are you feeding it well?
• Are you speaking to it kindly?
• Are you keeping it fit?
• Are you making it strong?
• Are you taking really good care of it each and every day?

If your answer to any of these questions is anything other than yes, we would be remiss if we didn’t ask you, what could possibly be more important?

If you want to help them grieve Dear One:

• Ask them what happened
• Ask them how they are doing
• Ask them how they are feeling

If you want to help them heal:

• Ask them to tell you about the one that they lost
• Ask them to tell you what they love most about them
• Ask them to tell you how they made them laugh
• Ask them to tell you how they made them feel

Help them to remember, and re-connect with the love, not the loss
