Don’t wait until you’ve got everything else under control, Dear One, before you start taking better care of yourself, before you start making yourself a priority, before you start spending your time doing more of what you love.

Those people over there, the ones you are envious of, the happy ones, the rested ones, the ones that are feeling good, enjoying themselves, having a great time doing all of the things that they love to do…. they didn’t wait.

And that, Dear One, is the only difference between them and you.

You are not in this alone, Dear One.

But you, alone, are the only one who can change things.

If you want things to be different, if you want a different life, different circumstances, different relationships, you’re going to have to start choosing differently.

You, and you alone are the only one who can make that happen.

When you come to a place where you are able to recognize when a thought, belief, word or deed is not serving you in creating, maintaining, or strengthening your connection to source, (spirit, love, light, well-being, whatever you choose to call it), and you are instantly, and without hesitation, ego, or regret, able to release it, because you know that connection is the most important thing, then you will have achieved mastery of letting go.

It takes time and practice to achieve, Dear One, and we are here to help.

While you are the process of learning something new, Dear One, it is not the right time to be hard on yourself.

It is the time to be kind, loving, patient, forgiving, encouraging, nurturing, compassionate, and generous with yourself.

And since you are pretty much in the process of learning something new all the time…..

The right time to be hard on yourself, is, well, never.

What if, instead of being discouraged by what is, Dear One, you got really, really, really excited about what could be?

• Who said that it was too hard, Dear One?
• Who said that you couldn’t do it?
• Who said that you were not worth the effort?
• Who said that your way was the wrong way?
• Who said that you didn’t know better?
• Who said that your opinion didn’t matter?
• Who said don’t even bother trying?

And who chose to believe that they were right?

In what direction will you be traveling today, Dear One?

Towards that which you want or towards that which you do not want?

Not sure?

Here is a very simple way to help you figure it out.

Decide right now; Are you are going to allow yourself to be guided by your heart, your hopes, your dreams, your desires, and a vision of success for yourself, or by your fears, your doubts, your uncertainties, and your insecurities?

Your answer will tell you all that you need to know.

We would like to see you enjoying yourself more and struggling less when you are choosing, Dear one, while you in the process of making your decisions.

Choosing is meant to be fun. Choosing is meant to be exciting. Choosing is meant to be a pleasing and joyous experience.

When you are choosing, you are creating, you are engaging in the most powerful act of creation, of which you are totally and completely in charge.

Making a choice is taking an action that you believe is going to serve you, that you believe is going to make things better, that you believe is going to bring to you greater joy, relief, clarity, balance, abundance, love or something else of a positive nature.

Choosing is something that you should look forward to doing Dear One.

If you are not feeling good about it, if you are not feeling good about the choice you are about to make, if you are not looking forward to the anticipated outcome of it,  then it is probably not a good choice for you to be making.

Love is a feeling, an energy, an experience that you open up to, that you allow to flow through you.  It is a bright light that you shine on an object of desire.  It is something that you give away.   It is in its movement through you that love has its strongest impact on you, Dear One.  Receiving love is wonderful.  But it pales in comparison to the experience of giving it away.  Truly.

So when you find an object that inspires feelings of love in you, allow yourself to be moved by it, motivated by it, opened up by it.  Don’t worry about whether or not  you will get love back before you begin giving it.  Just love.  No grand declaration is necessary.  No change of relationship status is called for.  No long awkward conversations must first ensure.  None of that is necessary for you to give love and have the profound experience of loving.  All that is required of you is a willingness to do so.  And that we can see you’ve clearly got.

Don’t waist time trying to define, understand or dissect love before you start sharing it.  It is not necessary.  Just let it flow.  Love those that you do with your heart wide open and enjoy the experience as it flows through you out into the world, towards your intended and well beyond, without fear, without expectation, without hesitation.

Nothing bad ever came from simply loving someone, Dear One.

Be generous, Dear One, with your spirit, with your gifts, with your heart, in all that you do.  There is no reason for you to hold on to yourself, to hold back  – for you will never run out of you or of any of the wonderful qualities that make you, you.  In fact, the more of yourself that you give away, the quicker you will find yourself restored.  Share your gifts, share yourself.  Allow both to flow freely out into the world.

Remember Dear One, you live in an abundant universe – where there is no lack.

But know that there is a big difference between giving yourself away/giving of yourself and having others take from you.  You will know the difference by how it feels to you because one is restorative and energizing and the other is rather draining.

Take notice of how your energy is flowing – from you, through you, out into the world.

Once you become aware of and can see the difference between giving your energy willingly and having it taken from you, either aggressively or passively, it is our belief that you will at once acquire an awareness of how to protect yourself and prevent the latter from taking place.

Once you learn to see and direct how and where you energy flows, no one or no thing will ever be able to take it from you again without your consent.
