On: Limited options
Going back is not an option, Dear One, and standing still will get you nowhere.
So, it looks like your options really are limited after all.
Going back is not an option, Dear One, and standing still will get you nowhere.
So, it looks like your options really are limited after all.
Please don’t waste any more of your time, Dear One, trying to make the right impression, trying to fit in, trying to be accepted, trying to make them see, like, or love you.
Because no matter how hard you try, no matter how much you plan, no matter how much effort you put into it, no matter how careful you are, you are never going to be able to control what they think of you.
That is not your choice to make. It is theirs and theirs alone.
While you are making progress along your path, Dear One, making your way along your journey, which do you think is more important? The answers that you find or the questions that you ask along the way?
Have you ever noticed that your best, most impactful, most significant and meaningful moments, the ones that have influenced and taught you the most, were not had as a result of finding an answer?
All of those moments and experiences were actually found in your pursuit of an answer to a question.
Does that make sense?
Take a minute and ask yourself, what is the question that you have asked yourself that you are currently in pursuit of an answer to?
If you don’t know, take some time and think about it. Figure it out. Because once you do, it is going to greatly impact your perspective of the path that you are now currently on.
What we are trying to tell you Dear One, what we are trying to say is that you don’t need to put your time, energy, and attention into searching out better answers to help you make sense of your life.
What you want to do is to shift your focus and your attention away from a pursuit of answers, and begin to allow life, experience, the world and people around you to motivate you, to teach you, to inspire you to ask better questions.
We are not going to try to encourage you, convince you or teach you how to achieve the impossible, Dear One. That would be a waste of our time and yours. By definition, the impossible cannot be done. We would never encourage you to pursue that which you are convinced you can not do.
Instead, we are going to encourage you to dream bigger and focus your attention on that which you believe is possible, on those things that you believe can be accomplished.
Set out in pursuit of those things, and accomplish them.
Feel that satisfaction that comes along with completing a task, with accomplishing a goal. And then, when you have sufficiently built up your confidence, when you are feeling good about your self and your abilities, we want you to revisit, re-examine those things that once seemed impossible to you and see if your perception of them has changed at all.
If it has – Wonderful! You will then be ready to take them on. And if it has not, then we would like you to go back and repeat the process.
Remember, Dear One, something is only impossible when you believe it is. Therefore everything is impossible and nothing is impossible. And the best part is – you get to choose which is true for you.
So, what’s it going to be today?
Why choose to doubt yourself, punish yourself, be hard on yourself, judge yourself, or skimp on yourself, Dear One, when you can choose to comfort yourself, forgive yourself, have confidence in yourself, be generous with yourself, and love yourself instead?
The more creative you are, Dear One, the more you trust yourself, follow your heart, and allow yourself to color outside the lines, the more you will be living a life that is of service to life itself.
Know that nothing about you needs to change for you to be loved, Dear One. You are already loved, totally, completely and eternally – just as you are.
You may think that a partner is necessary to make feeling the experience of love possible. And experiencing love with a partner is one way to experience it, but it is not the only way. And we are not talking about sex, although that is a part of it. It is not a partner that makes love possible. It is not a partner that is creating the love, Dear One.
Love already exists – ready for you to experience anytime that you choose.
With a partner is just the way that you have learned to open yourself up to the experience of love in your physical reality. But if you choose to, you can experience the love that is already yours without one as well.
How?
By simply choosing to believe our words:
You are already loved, Dear One, totally, completely and eternally – just as you are.
Know Dear One, that the universe is very good at filling up empty spaces with wonderful things, if you let it.
What are you going to choose to talk about today, Dear One?
The story that you tell is the story that you create.
So, what words are you going to use in the telling of your story today?
What are you going to choose to create for yourself today?
The unexpected, the mysterious, the miraculous, is so much less miraculous, Dear One, when viewed through the eyes of spirit.
And the ordinary, the everyday, the simplest, smallest acts are so much more so.
