How do you know if what you are feeling is your intuition telling you beware, proceed with caution, or turn around and run, or if what you feeling is nothing more than your own habitual fears and resistant patterns acting up on you again?
When trying to discern the difference between the two Dear One, remember this:
The next time you are feeling lonely, alone, or disconnected Dear One, instead of feeling badly about it, instead of focusing on those feelings of loneliness, isolation, or sadness, which will only serve to exacerbate them, use them as an opportunity to grant yourself permission to use that time to go within.
When you do, you just may get a glimpse of the eternal, sacred, divinity that lives within you, that connects you to everyone and every other living thing in your world.
And once you see that, it will be difficult for you to ever feel lonely, alone or disconnected again.
Don’t make now the moment that you gave up, Dear One. Don’t make it the moment that you failed, or the moment that it didn’t work either. Don’t make it the moment that you didn’t get it done, that you didn’t measure up, that you could’t make it work, or that you realized that you were just too far off course to ever get yourself over to the place where you really want to be.
Make now an empowered moment, an powerful moment, a triumphant moment.
Make now the moment that you decided to turn it all around instead.
Make all of your decisions today Dear One, as if there was someone standing beside you, holding your hand, encouraging you, supporting you, loving you, adoring you, believing in you, cheering you on every step of the way.
Why?
Because there is.
Your life is meant to be a joy Dear One, and if the things that you are doing, from day-to-day-to-day, are no longer bringing you joy, then it is time to let them go. Simply put them down and step away, and make room to allow for something new.
Imagine if you can for a moment Dear One, that you are right on course. That you know all that you need to know. That your beliefs serve you. That you are surrounded by those who will act for your greatest good at every opportunity.
Imagine if you can Dear one that you are content. That you are at peace.
Imagine if you can, that you have the confidence to act with confidence, to make decisions confidently, about your work, your relationships, your health, your finances.
THAT is what having faith is Dear One. THAT is what having faith can do to your life. THAT is what living in faith, choosing in faith, and trusting in faith can do.
Imagine that.
The physical is the leading edge of thought Dear One, the leading edge of all that is. And you, your present moment, is the tip of the iceberg. You are leading the charge.
We just thought you should know.
As you already know very well from experience Dear One, trying to stand still in the constantly flowing river of life creates resistance, and requires so much more effort than trusting, letting go, and allowing yourself to go with the flow does.
If you are not being yourself Dear One, who cares if they like you?
What does it matter really if they like some person that you are pretending to be?
Where is the satisfaction in that?
Why invest your energy into being liked, when investing it in being yourself feels so much better?
