You can choose to believe anything that you want, Dear One.

Your beliefs are not like the color of your eyes or the length of your pinky toe.

They are not assigned to you, or determined for you, by genetics or some other external force in the universe, like a parent, a teacher, or a book.

(Although we know that sometimes it can feel that way)

They are a very personal choice that you make every single day.

And if yours are causing you to feel anything other than strong, empowered, and  good about yourself, please remember that it is well within your power to change them anytime you would like.

How do you achieve mastery of your own heart, Dear One?

You allow yourself to trust it.

Toughing it out, pushing through, trying harder, sacrificing more, working smarter, powering on, or fighting the good fight will never be a more efficient or effective approach for helping you to get there, for helping you to achieve your goals, Dear One, as getting happy will.

If feeling better, being happy, creating balance, and enjoying this moment, was your top priority Dear One, what would you be doing right now?

Well…?

What are you waiting for?

What thought do you think would bring you the greatest amount of joy, the greatest amount of pleasure, to think right now, Dear One?

Are you thinking it?

Good!

This is your, life Dear One.

• Love it
• Hate it
• Enjoy it
• Waste it
• Share it
• Hoard it
• Embrace it
• Fear it
• Celebrate it
• Worry it away

What you do with it is totally and completely up to you.

How you respond to the events in it is totally and completely up to you.

How you react to the people in it is totally and completely up to you.

Not them, Dear One.

You.

Just you.

Balance is…

• being indulgent and disciplined
• being strong and vulnerable
• being brave and cautious
• being selfish and generous
• being flexible and committed
• being playful and working hard

Balance is not, Dear One, achieved by standing still on the point in the middle.

What you see as failure or rejection, Dear One, we see as simply a lack of alignment.

And your alignment is something that you have the ability to change, anytime you would like.

You want to learn how to let it go, Dear One?

We’ll tell you how it’s done.

You don’t do it by force. And you don’t do it with distractions.

You don’t do it by dismissing your feelings, trying to rationalize them away, or by punishing yourself for having picked them up in the first place either.

You do it by remembering that every thought that you think, word that you speak, action that you take, and belief that you maintain, is attracting more of exactly the same directly to you, every minute, of every hour, every day that you think it, speak it, do it, or believe it.

That’s how.

Remember to be kind today, Dear One, in every situation, under any circumstance.

Why?

Because being unkind will never serve you in any useful or positive way.

And this holds true for how you treat others as well as for how you treat yourself.
