You can’t stress your way to health, Dear One.

And you can’t force your way to insight, contentment, joy, satisfaction, creativity or clarity either.

Trying to do so will only serve to keep pushing all of these things further away.

Just something to remember if you should find yourself struggling  along the way.

Enjoy your day!

Somedays you will be confident, and somedays you will be insecure. Somedays you will feel pretty and somedays you will feel plain.  Somedays you will be adored, and somedays you will be lonely.  Somedays you will be creative, and somedays you will be dull.  Somedays you will be kind, and somedays you will be cruel. Somedays you will do no wrong, and somedays you will do no right.

But know this Dear One, that in this life that is full of contradictions, full of realities that are true one minute and not true the next, one thing will never stop being true, and that is that you will never stop being powerful.

You can never stop being powerful.  It is who and what you are.

Now you can choose to use your power to create things that you want in this life, or you can choose to use your power to create things that you despise, or fear, or secretly think that you deserve.   But either way Dear One, no matter what, you can never stop being powerful, you can never give your power away, or run out of it, or lose it, or have it taken from you, ever.

You can be tricked into thinking it is gone, you can trick yourself into thinking it is gone too. But regardless of how you feel, what you have been told, or what you believe, you will still be powerful, you will still have the power that creates worlds running through you, at your fingertips, at all times, to do with as you please.  You will still be the one with the pen in your hand, writing your story, creating your world, with every thought that you think, word that you speak,  action that you take, and belief that you hold in your heart.

Do you want to know how to get unstuck Dear One?

Move.

Make a choice.

Take an action.

Move.

Physically, emotionally, spiritually.

Doesn’t matter where you start.  Pick your point of least, not greatest resistance and start there.

Move one and you will be creating room, opening up space for movement to occur across them all.

There is nothing more potent Dear One, more electric, exciting, powerful, or more full of potential for creating abundance than a brilliant idea.

There is no more commanding or concentrated positive point of attraction in all of the universe.

If you are fortunate enough to discover one, to come up with one on your own, or to have someone else share one with you, don’t make the mistake of ignoring it, dismissing it, belittling it, or rationalizing it away.

Act on it, immediately. Take the bait, run with the ball, get carried away, be inspired and take whatever action is necessary, as soon as you possible can, to turn it into a reality.

And do you know makes an idea brilliant Dear One?

We’ll tell you.

You deciding it is so.

A willingness to proceed. Sometimes that is all that you need to muster up in yourself Dear One.

When fear, doubt, confusion, remorse, indecision, sadness or panic even, overwhelm you and you get lost in your current set of circumstances and want nothing more than to shut down, disconnect, give up – if you do nothing more then simply remain open to the idea of continuing to move forward – then you will!

Digging in, stopping in your tracks will not heal, solve, or resolve anything. If fact, it can do the exact opposite of that. Stopping can prolong pain and suffering, confusion, remorse and loneliness.

Life’s current is constantly moving, flowing towards someplace new. If you let go and allow yourself to float for a while – no kicking, no screaming, no splashing about – simply let go and float, before you know it, you will be in a different place. The scenery will have changed and you will find that you have moved on from that place that was no longer serving you.

If we were you Dear One, we would not think about, talk about, or give the majority of our energy or attention to the things around us that displeased us, frustrated us, angered us, upset us, caused us discomfort, pain, distress, or pissed us off.

We would instead choose to focus our attention on those things that pleased us, that felt good to us, that brought us joy, pleasure, and happiness, that inspired us, motivated us, and helped us to feel loved, useful, connected and grateful.

We are not suggesting you turn a blind eye to all of your problems, and all the problems in the world around you. We are simply suggesting that you consider the possibility that choosing to focus on their solutions instead would perhaps be a more pleasant and productive use of your time.

You can choose to focus your attention on that which makes you feel badly if you want to Dear One, but you should know that that would not be the choice that we would make if we were you.

Memories are not necessarily a true reflection of the events of your past Dear One.  They are more like a picture/a snap shot created in your mind to support a current feeling about an event from your past.

Memories can be beautiful but they can be damaging as well.  Especially when you assign more value or truth to them then you do the present moment.

You can learn from your memories, but be wary of them as well.  It is the present moment, the now, that has the greatest influence on how you remember something.   Keep this in mind when you attach meaning to an event from long ago.  When you do, more often that not, is it simply a  way of putting a current feeling into a familiar context.

Be wary of giving too much energy to your memories Dear One, as your recollection of them are really much more about the present then you would think.

Abundance is a mindset Dear One, not a physical state of being.

• It is something you allow, not something you acquire.
• It is something you experience, not something you have.
• It is the veil through which you see, feel, and interact with the world around you.

Abundance is a way of life – and it has no limits.

That’s why when you take notice of those that seem to have acquired it, there is no apparent end to their good fortune, to their wealth, to their success, to what they can have, do, or be.

And there is a very good reason for that Dear One — It’s because there isn’t one.

If your goal, your desire, your objective in this life, is acquire a great deal of anything, abundance will always allude you.

The path to abundance, to more joy, success, love, wealth, comfort, health, to more anything, to more everything, is not a path of accumulation – but  a path of release.

And the truth is that the more you let go, of your limits, of limiting thoughts, beliefs, actions and behaviors, the more abundant you will be.

You can’t punish yourself for making a mistake, misjudgment, or misstep Dear One, and come back into alignment, return to your flow, make it right again, at the same time.

You’re going to have to choose, one or the other.

You’re going to have to decide which is more important to you; returning to well-being and restoring balance, or remaining self-critical.

What’s it going to be?

Why bother doing all that you can Dear One, when you can get by doing just enough?

Why bother doing the right the thing when no one really seems to care or to even be paying attention?

Why bother trusting, and making the harder, braver, more challenging choice when you’ve got something to lose?

Why bother putting in the extra effort to be thoughtful, generous, loving, persistent, patient, forgiving, and kind when it is not requested, required or expected?

Because what you put out is what you get back.

That’s why.
