It doesn’t always have to be about trying to achieve something great Dear One.

You don’t always have to work so hard to make a difference.

What we mean by this is that you don’t constantly need to be striving for, working towards, trying to achieve some ambitious, life changing, envy inspiring, lofty goal for yourself in order to remain on the cutting edge of creation, in order to be doing something worthy, productive or significant with your life.

So you can let yourself off the hook.

Know that it is perfectly ok  for you to set ordinary goals for yourself, to pursue ordinary experiences —  beautifully simple, regular, run of the mill, everyday,  nothing spectacular goals and experiences.

Because the truth is that if it makes you smile, if it makes you feel good, if it brings you joy, then you are doing something worthy, productive and significant with your life.

And if that is the case Dear One, then the answer is yes, the answer will always be yes – it is totally and completely worth it.

Just how powerful are you, Dear one?

Just how much are you capable of?  Just how far can you go?

That is something that only you can decide.

Acknowledge every choice that you made yesterday Dear One, where you did not follow your heart, where you did not trust yourself, where you did not trust your instincts.

Instead of feeling badly about it, forgive yourself for doing so, right now, in this moment, without hesitation – with compassion, understanding, and loving kindness.

(Yes, you are worthy of all 3.)

Make amends by holding on to that awareness and choosing differently today.

Take one step forward at a time Dear One, joyfully, intentionally, mindfully, feel good about where you are going, and you will be traveling faster towards your desired destination then if you ran full steam ahead towards it motivated by frustration, sadness, anger, fear or insecurity.

Mindful choices guided by good feelings are infinitely more powerful than those guided by loss, lack, obligation, fear or desperation.

It is not the amount of space between where you are and where you want to be that determines the length of your journey Dear One.

The length of your journey is determined by the distance that you must travel from where you are, to feeling good about where you want to be.

And how long that takes, is entirely up to you.

When you think on things to much Dear One, do you find that your thoughts start to become circular – propelling you around and around – and fail to move you in any direction that is the least bit useful, pleasurable, helpful or satisfying?

If your answer is yes, we can tell you why that is so.

Thinking alone on a subject is not an effective way for you to create movement beyond the circle. Action is required. Action in some form is always required to perpetuate a shift forward.

Desire and intention are formed in your heart. Your thoughts and emotions serve to gather energy. But it is only through action that you can experience your ideas and bring them to life.

Are you ready to take the leap and act to start creating the life that you want, or do you need to think on it for a little bit longer?

The only way to know for sure Dear One, what love really is, is to experience it for yourself. It is not something that you can learn, that you can come to truly understand from a book, a song, a movie, a poem, or a class.

And the best way to do that, to have a truly authentic experience of love, is to love yourself, purely, totally, completely, and unconditionally. That means  thinking, speaking, and acting lovingly towards yourself, all the time.

Do that, know that experience, give yourself the experience of knowing what unconditional love looks, feels, sounds, smells, and tastes like, and you will never again have to ask yourself or anyone else the question ‘Is this love?’, because you will know.

You will then know from firsthand experience what true love feels like, so you will be able to recognize if what you are feeling for them is love, and Dear One, you will know how to recognize if they are truly loving you in return.

There is no such thing as wasted time Dear One.  It is all your time.

Nothing you can do is a waste.

Existing – simply being alive – makes all that you do significant.

Nothing that you do (or don’t do) can ever lessen that.

• You choose what you do with your time.
• You choose what you want to acknowledge as valuable, significant or meaningful.
• You choose what you want to acknowledge as unworthy, silly or frivolous.

Others may have an opinion on the subject, but yours is the only opinion that matters.

Know Dear One, that from our perspective, there is value in everything that you do, simply because you are choosing to do it.

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

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

What can you do for someone who is leaving you Dear One, for someone who is in the process of leaving your physical world and transitioning to spirit?

You can do the only thing for them that you can ever do for anyone else in your life, regardless of what stage of living or dying they are in.

You can love them.

Loving them is not pitying them. And loving them is not fearing for them.  And loving them it is not fixing them, healing them, or deceiving them either.

The very best thing that we can tell you to do for your love today Dear One, for all of your friends and loved ones  for that matter is this – just keep right on loving them.
