If you are not being yourself Dear One, who cares what they think of you, who cares if they like you?

What would be the point really of getting someone to like some person that you are pretending to be?

You want to feel more powerful, Dear One?

Then choose to think, speak and act from one of the most powerful places within you — your truth.

Not theirs, yours.

• If you want change, change
• If you want love, love
• If you want respect, respect
• If you want to heal, allow healing, strength, confidence and well being to dominate every word you speak, every thought you think, and every action you take.

Make the decision in your heart first, commit to taking action on its behalf, and then watch as the universe yields to it.

Contrary to how it might feel at times, you should know that it is you, Dear One, your heart,  your beliefs, thoughts, words, and actions that are commanding the powers of universe, and not the other way around.

You have become so accustomed to struggling Dear One, that you have come to believe that it is a natural, unavoidable part of your life.  But we are here to remind you that life is not meant to be a struggle.

Take full responsibility for your choices, all of them, good and bad, let go of that which does not serve you and accept what is and you can put an end to your struggling.

But remember Dear One, that responsibility and blame are two very different things.

Don’t blame yourself or others, for what is.  Struggling persists when you resist what is.

Blame is resistant, damaging, accusatory, and segregating.  Responsibility is accepting, forgiving, allowing and inclusive.

When you take responsibility for yourself, your environment, your circumstances, your choices and stop blaming yourself or anyone else, for the place you now find yourself standing,  you will greatly reduce the amount of struggle in your life Dear one, and by extension, you will be greatly reducing the amount of struggle in the world as well.

A worthy pursuit, don’t you think?

• Thank you for being a good friend
• Thank you for loving them as only you can
• Thank you for forgiving, letting go and allowing yourself to heal
• Thank you for taking a risk, being brave, speaking up
• Thank you for telling the truth, revealing yourself, sharing your story
• Thank you for doing something that you have never done before
• Thank you for going somewhere that you have never gone before
• Thank you for using your life to create
• Thank you for every moment that you choose to live with an open heart and an open mind

We are all better off because of it, Dear One.

And we wanted you to know it.

So, thank you.

Don’t fight your heart Dear One, follow it.

Lay down your sword.

There are some battles that are just not worth winning.

You have complete freedom of choice Dear One, when it comes to your thoughts.

You are free to choose to think absolutely any thought that you want to;

• About you
• About them
• About what is
• About what was
• About what could be

So remember, if you don’t like the one that you are thinking right now, if it is not bringing you pleasure, joy, contentment, or relief, you are free to choose another.

Your thoughts determine your reality Dear One, they impact the quality of every single experience that you have, so please don’t be so quick to dismiss the significant power that this freedom affords you.

EITHER choose to 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.

If you want to start feeling better about the decisions that you are making in your life Dear One, stop asking other people for their opinions about them.

You are here to have a personal experience of you, not a duplicate experience of someone else. There is no one that can ever know what is best for you better than you can.

Trust yourself a little bit more, your gut, your instincts and act accordingly. Make conscious decisions that make sense to you and soon you will find yourself living in a reality that is much more you then ever before.

What do you see/feel when you look around you Dear One? Do you see the life that you want for yourself unfolding before your eyes, or do you see someone else’s version of the perfect reality?

Give yourself some time to adjust to the fact that you are the creator of your own reality if you need to. But start trusting yourself and making decisions based on your desires, your experiences and your instincts right away.  There is no reason at all for you to wait.  Note how each decision makes you feel so that you can learn more about yourself and your preferences with each one that you make.

Want to know a trick Dear One, that will make taking that first step a whole lot easier?

Instead of imagining all that you could lose, all that could go wrong, and how far you have to go,  imagine all that you could gain, and all that could go right, and all the fun that you could have along the way.

Doing so will not make that first step feel any less steep, but it could make it feel a whole lot less scary and a whole lot more inviting to take.
