There are three things that you should know about guilt, Dear One:

• No one can make you feel guilty. Feeling guilty is a choice that only you can make for yourself.

•  Guilt’s greatest function is to serve as an anchor that holds you in a position of weakness.

•  The quickest way to extinguish your guilt is by taking responsibility for it, and by choosing to consciously shift yourself from a position of weakness to one of authority over your own life.

We’ve got some really good news for you, Dear One.

From where we are standing we can see very clearly that most of your daily discomfort, pain, frustration, and unhappiness is not being caused by your current situation, circumstances, relationships, or available opportunities.

It is being caused by your thoughts about your current situation, circumstances, relationships, and available opportunities.

And it is well within your power to change those anytime you want.

Even right this minute if you would like.

• There is more peace in the world when you are peaceful.
• There is more anger in world when you are angry.
• There is more forgiveness in the world when you forgive.
• There is more hatred in the world when you hate.
• There is more compassion in the world when you are compassionate.
• There is more intolerance in the world when you are intolerant.
• There is more love in the world when you love.

Every contribution that you make counts Dear One.

What are you going to choose to contribute today?

No one, and we mean absolutely no one is perfect, Dear One.  And yet – at the same time, you are all absolute perfection.

This is not just another one of life’s contradictions that you are meant to accept and move on.  It is simply an answer from two different vantage points.

From your physical perspective, when you align your thoughts with your physical self, perfection is not possible.  People can deceive themselves with an illusion and think that it is attainable, but we can assure you that it is not. Preferences are real Dear One, perfection does not exist.

BUT when you choose to align yourself with your spiritual identity, with your spiritual self, then yes, you are perfect – all of you – each and everyone one of you is a perfect soul, a glorious spark of the divine, a piece of all that is.

You are both physical and spiritual at once, Dear One. Don’t try so hard to keep these parts of yourself separated from one another.  Open yourself up so that you can see/share/experience both realities simultaneously – your spiritual perfection and your physical imperfections.  You are spectacular any way you look at it.

Allow both of these identities to come into focus at once and live your life authentically, auspiciously and fully awake.

Embrace both your spiritual and physical self at once and you will see a new world emerge before you eyes, boundaries will shift and limitations will disappear.

Avoidance or Creation.

Which path are you going to choose to take today, Dear One?

Are you going to make this day about doing your best to avoid that which you do not want to see, hear, feel, or experience, or about creating that which you do?

Choose wisely because these two paths extend out in opposite directions from one another, and will most definitely not lead you to the same place.

Meeting the deadline, finishing the job, maintaining the relationships, finding what’s missing, fixing what’s broken, cleaning up the mess, etc.   If you view all of these things as nothing more than tasks that need to be completed throughout your day, your week, your life, Dear One, then that is all that they can or ever will be to you.

But the truth is that they hold the potential to be so much more than that.

The truth is that the completion of every task that you take on, big or small, important or mundane, forced or chosen, is an act of creation/creativity, and every act of creation/creativity is a sacred act.

This is your life, Dear One, and these are the events in it.

You should know that you are truly missing out on something potentially amazing if all you are doing is enduring them.

Chances are, Dear One, that you are stronger than you think you are, that you are smarter than you think you are, that you are more resilient, resourceful, talented, creative, clever, useful, needed and loved than you think you are.

But unless you are willing to test your limits, unless are willing to allow yourself to move forward with confidence, to move beyond your self imposed boundaries, open to the possibility that there is more to you then you are aware of, you’ll never know for sure.

We already know what your value is. We already know what you are capable of.

Now it’s time that you know it too.

Do you want to know what your mission is in this life, Dear One?

We’ll tell you.

It is to create, experience, share, and allow as much love, joy, laughter, compassion, contentment, connection, and gratitude as you possibly can.

Why?

Because when you are experiencing these things, it means that you are in alignment with your source, with your higher-self, with who you really are.

So now that you know, are you ready to accept it?

You should know, Dear One, that there is no force in the universe that is strong enough to change you if you are not ready to change, if you are not willing to change yourself.

But once you decide that you are, you should also know that there is no force in the universe that would, could, or will ever be strong enough to stop you.

• Unfortunately, there is no “right” thing to do, Dear One.
• Fortunately, there is no “wrong” thing to do either.

There is however, the brave thing to do, the empowering thing to do, the compassionate thing to do, the honest thing to do, the convenient thing to do, the hurtful thing to do, the vengeful thing to do, the lazy thing to do, the fearful thing to do, the adventurous thing to do, the loving thing to do, and so on.

Get the picture?

There is no “right” answer to your question Dear One.

There is only the answer that you choose – the answer that feels right to you.  And you’re the only one that will ever know what that is.

So don’t ask us what we think you should do Dear One – ask your heart instead.

The answer you are looking for is there – we promise you that.

Once you find it, then you can ask us what we think you should do.

And our answer will be a simple one – Act on it.
