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?
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.
Take a moment, Dear One, to feel the beating of your heart.
It is the energy of the universe that is powering it don’t you know.
It is the vibration/the energy of your spirit that is powering your heart, that is rushing the blood through your veins, that is moving the air through your lungs, that is animating you in this physical reality.
Your soul/spirit powers you just like your creative energy powers the world around you.
That is why creation is considered a sacred act Dear One. Because when you create, when you expel your energy out into the world, you are breathing life into it, you are animating the universe, keeping it alive.
Spirit and physical realities need each other to exist. We power and empower each other, Dear One.
This is how spirit perpetuates itself.
If you want to know what freedom feels like, Dear One, if you want to know what it feels like to be free, to fly — you’ve got to be willing to jump.
There is no other way.
Treat yourself well, Dear One; with kindness, compassion, love, humility, flexibility, generosity, forgiveness, and respect.
Why?
Because they’re watching you, and are taking their lead on how you want to be treated from you.
