It’s not about tomorrow, or what’s next, or what was, or what may be.  It is about right now, as it is, in this moment.

In this moment  – you have the ability to make a different choice, to have a different experience, to love a little more, to be a little kinder, to flourish, to be brave, to take a risk, to let it go, to live.  Now, in this moment –  you can choose to be confident – you can choose to take care of yourself – you can choose to impact the lives of others – you can choose to trust and try and trust and try again.  For it is the only thing that is real, Dear One.  Now.

You keep forgetting and we will keep finding ways to remind you that now is the only moment that matters.  When you come to believe this, in your heart and in  your head and in  your soul, then you will be home.  The desire to be anywhere but exactly where you are will dissipate.  All questions will dissolve and you will find peace, contentment and satisfaction right where you are.

The most important question that you need to ask yourself, Dear One, once you decide what it is that you want, is not Can I do this? but Will I do this?

• Will you allow yourself to believe that it’s possible?
• Will you allow that belief to inspire you to action?
• Will you allow certainty to dominate your thoughts?
• Will you choose to move forward with confidence?
• Will you choose to make feeling good about it a priority?
• Will you choose to let go of all of the things that no longer serve you, including negative thoughts, actions, behaviors, and relationships that are keeping you from it?
• Will you choose to allow it into your life, gently, quickly, graciously, joyfully?

We know that you can, Dear One.

But will you?

How do you treat someone when you love them, Dear One?

• Do you call them stupid when they make a mistake?
• Do you call them ugly when they gain a few pounds?
• Do you yell at them for coming in 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th, or last even?
• Do you tell them that they are failure when things don’t work out as planned?
• Do you judge them for not making more money?
• Do you think less of them when they are not well?

Do you see where we are going here?

You don’t only hurt when you are injured, Dear One. You don’t only feel discomfort when something is broken.

Sometimes you hurt because you are in a space that no longer fits you, that is too small for you, that you have outgrown.

This may be one of those times.

How do you know?  If you believe that feeling better will require you to move backwards, to undo something that has already been been done, to take back something that has already been said, you know.

If that is the case Dear One, don’t try and fix it.  Don’t try to stop it, bandage it or cure it.  Don’t spend your time running around looking for a remedy that will help you to restore what was, that will allow you to move yourself back into the place that you were before, back into that space that felt safe, familiar and comfortable to you.

You don’t belong there anymore.

Just let it be.  Allow yourself to feel the unease, to feel the tension, to feel the discomfort that comes from being in a place that doesn’t fit.  Allow it to inspire within you a desire to move forward, from where you are now to someplace new, to someplace larger, more spacious and wide open.

And then when that inspiration strikes, Dear One, when you see an opportunity that will allow you to move ahead instead of back, take it.

Yes, sometimes you hurt because you are injured and you need to retreat, rest, and allow what was to be restored.

But only you can know for sure, if now is really one of those times.

You want to change your past, Dear One?

You go right on ahead and do it.

Don’t you dare for one minute believe that you can’t.

No, you don’t have the ability to go back in time and change the details, the course of events, the physical acts that took place.

But what you do have the ability to do, is far more powerful than that.

You have the ability to redefine them, to change your perspective of them, to change your relationship to them, to change their significance to you, and to change their meaning and importance in your life today.

Trying to assess where you are in your life, your level of success, by looking to your past to see where you have been and looking to your future to see where you are heading, will not yield you any meaningful results, Dear One.

Why?

Because the spectrum on which you are standing is eternal. Trying to determine your specific location on a scale that is eternal would be like trying to pinpoint  the location of one specific drop of water in the ocean.

If you want to know where you stand in the spectrum of your life Dear One, with regards to your level of success, answer the only question that will ever be able to provide you with a meaningful answer:

Am I happy right now?

Don’t think any more than is absolutely necessary today, Dear One.

It will only get you into trouble.

Trust yourself more instead.

As a result, you will quickly find yourself experiencing a significantly improved level of clarity, confidence, success, balance, and joy in all that you do.

But don’t take our word for it.

You know the drill.

Leaping and being pushed are two completely different experiences, Dear One.

A friend that encourages you to leap is a good friend indeed.

A friend that pushes you over the edge, with or without your consent, is no friend at all.

When exiting a comfort zone, Dear One, you should always do so by choice, of your own free will.

Leaping and being pushed do not both land you in the same spot.

Remember that.

Do you know what your priorities are, Dear One?

We are asking you because we think that you might not.

Your priorities are what you spend the majority of your time, energy, and awareness focused on, thinking about, talking about, and doing.

For example, you may think your priorities are your health, your well-being, your happiness, and your work.

To find out if this is really the case, ask yourself, take notice throughout you day – are you spending the majority of your time thinking about, talking about and focused on making healthy choices, maintaining balance, feeling good, and creating work that matters – or is your energy, focus, and awareness directed elsewhere, perhaps on the absence of these things instead?

So, what do you think?

Are your priorities where you want them to be or is a change in order?

The universe is taking its lead from you, Dear You.

It is prioritizing for you what you are prioritizing for yourself, and is constantly realigning its energies in order to deliver it to you.

So if you are interested in taking full advantage of all the help that is available to you, you may want to take the time to really figure this one out.

It is so much easier to make a decision, Dear One, when you are clear on what it is that you want, on what direction it is that you want to be moving.

Choosing is not meant to be a guessing game.

So, if you are stuck, if you are unclear as to what choice you want to make next, what action you want to take next, how you want to respond, here are a few simple questions to help you to figure it out.

Ask yourself, in this moment:

• Do you want to love more or less?
• Do you want to trust more or less?
• Do you want to connect more or less?
• Do you want to be more or less compassionate?
• Do you want to be more or less brave?
• Do you want to be more or less creative?
• Do you want to be more or less confident?
• Do you want to be more or less trustworthy?

Are you ready to choose now, Dear One?
