You can’t quit Dear One.

• Not because you shouldn’t.
• Not because you couldn’t
• Not because it’s a sign of weakness, failure or an admittance of guilt or incompetence if you do

You can’t quit because whatever it is you are trying to get away from by quitting is not going to go away until you deal with it, confront it, face it, handle it, learn from it, address it head on.  It will keep coming back, in one form or another, again and again and again, until you do.

When it comes down to it, quitting really is nothing more than a delay tactic.

It is a defeatist act rooted in frustration, desperation and a belief in powerlessness, and it resolves nothing

But making a conscious decision to walk away, choosing to make a different choice, an empowered choice, now that is an entirely different story altogether.

Which do you think will serve you best today, Dear One?

A: To hold on to your plans at all costs

B:  To live your life in the present

Get excited, be excited Dear One, for the arrival of that which you are wanting most.

Don’t give up on it. Don’t give your attention to its absence. Don’t stand still and wait for it to get here.

Keep moving, keep choosing, keep putting one foot in front of the other, with excitement, anticipation, confidence and certainty – towards it, consciously and enthusiastically holding it as your dominant point of attraction.

OR….

You can choose to move forward with longing, apprehension, worry, doubt, frustration, and fear instead – and make that your dominant point of attraction if you would like.

The choice is yours to make.

Why be here now Dear One?

• Because the more present you are, the more you focus your attention in the present moment, the more you will see, hear, smell, taste, and feel, the more aware you will be of what is going on around you, and within you.
• And the more you understand that, the more you will understand the impact of your choices, how they make you feel, and how they are serving you (or not serving you), in the present moment.
• And the more you understand that, the more you will understand cause and effect, the more you will come to understand what is real and what is a product of your own imagination.
• And the more you understand that, the more you will be able to take responsibility for your choices, for your actions, thoughts, beliefs and behaviors.
• And more you are able to do that that, the more you will come to understand just how powerful you really are.

That’s why.

Building up your defenses Dear One, putting up a wall, is one way that you can try and protect yourself from the world. But you should know that is far from the best or most effective way to do so.

Cutting yourself off, hiding yourself away, indulging in suspicion, fear, doubt, anger, and defensiveness are all actions that will, above all else, only serve to weaken you over time.  The more you indulge in them, the more they will wear you down, the more disconnected you will feel, the more vulnerable you will be.

If you really want to protect yourself Dear One, you’ve got to the do the exact opposite. You’ve got to open yourself up, trust, let life in. You’ve got to make new connections, build up your confidence, and allow yourself to joyfully engage with the world.

If you feel as if you really need protection Dear One, build bridges not walls.

Do you know what your priorities are Dear One?

We are asking you because we think that you might not.

Your priorities are what you spend the majority of your time, energy, and awareness focused on, thinking about, talking about, and doing.

For example, you may think your priorities are your health, your well-being, your happiness, and your work.

To find out if this is really the case, ask yourself, take notice throughout you day – are you spending the majority of your time thinking about, talking about and focused on making healthy choices, maintaining balance, feeling good, and creating work that matters – or is your energy, focus, and awareness directed elsewhere, perhaps on the absence of these things instead?

So, what do you think?

Are your priorities where you want them to be or is a change in order?

The universe is taking its lead from you Dear You.

It is prioritizing for you what you are prioritizing for yourself, and is constantly realigning its energies in order to deliver it to you.

So if you are interested in taking full advantage of all the help that is available to you, you may want to take the time to really figure this one out.

You are meant to know more today than you did yesterday Dear One.   Don’t punish yourself for that which you did not know before – praise yourself for that which you do know now.

And remember that this holds true for those around you as well.  They too are in the process of learning.  They too will know more tomorrow than they do today.  While you are practicing acceptance and forgiveness of yourself as you learn Dear One, remember to practice it for those around you as well.

Don’t fault each other for that which you have not yet learned– Help each other to learn all that you can.

The absolute worst thing in the world that you can do for or to yourself or anyone else Dear One, is something that you believe is wrong.

You will never fully trust yourself Dear One, if you never give yourself the opportunity to prove to yourself that you are trustworthy.

And there is only one way for you to do that.

Don’t give up now Dear One.

You’re so close.

Right this minute, right where you are, you are only one thought away from feeling so much better.
