When you are unsure, Dear One, about the decision you are about to make, take a minute and ask yourself this question:
And then don’t think about the answer, listen for it instead, and then you will know.
It is OK to move quickly through the paces of your life Dear One – but know that it is not necessary. No great benefit will come to you from rushing. You will experience no faster advancement along your path.
The only thing that rushing will accomplish is for you to feel hurried in your experiences. If you like the feeling/the experience of begin hurried, then by all means, you can continue on at this pace. But, if you would like a more savory experience of your life, slow down. You will not miss out on anything by doing so. We promise you that. But you do run the risk of missing out on much, when you rush.
You can take it fast, or you can take it slow. The choice, as always, is yours Dear One.
If it were up to us, we would take our time because we wouldn’t want to miss out on one single thing. But that is just us.
What are you going to do?
Don’t try harder, Dear One.
Try more joyfully.
You want to be surrounded by more people who “get you” Dear One?
We’ll tell you how to do it.
Don’t go in search of them.
Reveal more of yourself, reveal more of who you really are to the world in all that you do, and they will find you!
Never stop being amazed by the reality of tomorrow, Dear One, because it is a pretty amazing reality.
The fact that there is space that exists ahead of you – empty, blank space, full of possibility, just waiting for you to do with as you please, just waiting for you to fill it up with everything that you desire – should have you over the moon excited – every single day.
Tomorrow is like the extra space that you leave for yourself in your suitcase when you pack for a trip. You leave yourself the extra room because you know that you are going to find good stuff when you get there that you going to want to take home with you.
Tomorrow is just like that. It is the extra space ready to be filled with all of the wonderful, unexpected treasures that you find along the way.
But here’s the catch – you must remember to leave room for it, Dear One. You must remember to leave space for yourself when you are packing for your trip – for something new, something unexpected, something wonderful, something different to show up for you. If you pack your bag to the top, if you plan out every last detail of your day ahead of time, if you cram your schedule full with the known, with the predictable, with the expected – you will be missing out on of the greatest treasures available to you in this lifetime.
So this evening as you are thinking about – planning for – anticipating tomorrow, Dear One – our recommendation to you is this – get excited and pack lightly.
We know that it can feel like the act of doing something new, of changing your patterns of behavior, your thoughts, your actions, your habits, your beliefs, your relationships, will require a great deal of effort and struggle for you to achieve Dear One. But the truth is that movement, progress, change, has, does, and always will require significantly less effort from you than trying to remain in one place ever will.
As you already know very well from experience, trying to stand still in the constantly flowing river of life requires so much more effort than trusting, letting go, and allowing yourself to go with the flow.
So today, we would like you to consider the possibility, Dear One, that you just may have had it backwards — that maybe, just maybe, it is your resistance to change, and not change itself, that is making the process feel so challenging for you.
What you do today matters so much more than what you did yesterday, Dear One.
Your energy, your attention, your effort, your focus, your creativity, your love, will be so much better spent here, rather than there.
Choosing to hold on, Dear One, just may be the choice that is holding you back.
Something that is right for you, that is a vibration match to you, will move right along with you.
If you have to stop, stand still or move backwards repeatedly or for extended periods of time in order to keep it, if you feel like you are having to hold-on tighter and tighter to keep from losing it, you may want to consider the possibility that it is no longer right for you, and that it may be time for you to let it go and move on without it.
What if you knew, Dear One, with absolute certainty, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that everything was going to be ok, that everything was going to work out?
Differently than you do now?
Want to find out?
Then all you need to do is this one simple thing – Trust.
Trust us when we tell you this Dear One, with absolute certainty, beyond a shadow of a doubt – Everything is going to be ok, everything is going to work out.
You can count on it – and act accordingly.
Trust us, Dear One, they won’t stop loving you if you need to say no from time to time.
We know it can be tough to do when you want to help, when you so very much want what’s best for them.
When someone is hurting or scared or confused, their attention is focused on their discomfort, on their pain, on themselves, on telling you what it is that they need, which is completely understandable.
But here’s what they are not telling you: They want what’s best for you, too.
Please remember balance in all things, Dear One; that includes being of service to others as well as being of service to yourself.
