If you don’t feel good about the decisions you make yesterday Dear One, if you are unhappy with the choices that you made, know that you don’t have to regret them.  You can choose to accept them, learn from them and choose differently today instead if you would like.

No matter how badly you feel, no matter how badly you made them feel, no matter how much you punish yourself, or those around you, regret will not solve, fix, change or improve anything in any way, shape, or form.

It never has and it never will.

Regret won’t help you or them to forget, forgive, connect, improve, repair, restore, heal or move on Dear One.

But forgiveness will – change will – hope will – courage will – faith will – strength, love, kindness, and compassion will.

Like it or not Dear One, now is when your life is happening, now is when you are most powerful, now is when you can impact change,  now is when you can make a difference, now is when your connection with us is the strongest, now is when anything is possible.

No more waiting, wondering, imagining or thinking about what your life will be like when…

There is no when.  There is no then.  There is no later.

There is only now.

This is it!

Clinging to fear when you are in uncertain or unfamiliar circumstances Dear One, will serve you in much the same way that turning off the faucet will when you are most in need of a drink.

Fear cuts you off, from your source, from well-being, from the support, guidance, energy and wisdom that you need, just when you need it the most.

Trust in a universe that exists to support you, opens you up and connects you to your source, connects you to the unlimited support, guidance, energy and wisdom that is available to you at all times.

Fear cuts you off, and holds you in darkness. Trust opens you up and lets in the light.

The more you allow yourself to trust in the face of fear Dear One, the more you will be opening up the faucet. The more open your faucet is, the less you will have to be fearful of.

There is no rule anywhere Dear One, that says that you have to feel badly when dealing with a bad situation.

Yes, it’s true that you can’t always choose how you feel.

But it is also true that you can always choose what you think.

And you can choose to think a different thought, a better feeling thought, anytime that you would like.

Some may think that doing so is nothing more than an exercise in denying what is.

But we would call it, getting yourself into a better feeling place so that you can more effectively deal with what is.

We challenge you to try and find something wrong with that.

• Choose what comes in
• Choose what goes out

• Choose to hold on
• Choose to let go

• Choose what you want more of
• Choose what you want less of

• Choose what is worthy of your attention
• Choose what to ignore

• Choose what matters
• Choose what does not

Your choices are the breathe of your life, Dear One.

They sustain you. They nourish you.  They replenish or deplete.

They determine the pace, quality and depth of the days, months and years of your life.

Like your breath Dear One, your choices are more powerful when given the benefit of your full attention.

There is no right answer, Dear One.

There is no right time.

There is no right place.

There is no right person.

There is no right job.

There is no right choice.

There is only right now.

And the very best that you can do, is make the most of it!

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.

Why do you so often feel as if you are in a competition Dear One?

Because you are, because you are choosing to see them as competitors, and that is not is necessarily a bad thing.

Competition can push you.  It can motivate you and inspire you, and drive you to work harder, try harder, and do your best to push yourself beyond not just how far you believe you can go, but beyond how far you believe they can go too. Competition can be a great way to get you to move beyond your own limitations, crash through self-imposed boundaries, and discover exactly what you are made of, what you are capable of.

The fact that you feel as if you are in a competition is not the problem Dear One.  The fact that you think that your ranking at the finish line matters, is.

The world needs you in the present moment, Dear One.

Your friends and loved ones need you in the present.

Your physical body needs you in the present.

And we need you in the present – as that will always be our strongest point of connection.

The past is over, Dear One.   There is nothing more for you to do there.  There is nothing more you can do there.

But there is lots for you to do here, and lots that you can do here.

Join us, here, now, in the present, won’t you?

We can see that you have a strong desire to live a more authentic life,  Dear One, and yet… you don’t.

You allow your fear of rejection, being alone, being wrong, being made fun of, disappointing, being less than perfect, or failing, stop you from trying, stop you from speaking up, stop you from being the real you.

Well, its time to put to an end to that, Dear One.

It’s time for you to join the ranks of the fallible.

• It’s time for you to allow yourself to join those who make mistakes, who fall down, who fail, who don’t always do the right thing at the right time, who sometimes get hurt, and who sometimes, despite their best efforts, hurt others.
• It’s time for you to allow yourself to join those who knows that if they fall, they can get back up, that if they fail, they can try again, that if they get hurt, they will heal.
• It’s time for you to allow yourself to join those that know that playing it safe, that not trying, that not speaking up, that not being your authentic self, is and will always be a far more agonizing, frustrating, painful, disappointing and damaging experience in the long run, then not trying ever will be.
