When we ask you to trust, Dear One, many of you ask; What is it that you want us trust in?

First, the good news:  You are not in control, Dear One.   You never have been and you never will be.

Now, the better news: Control is not what you want.

Control does not heal and control does not fix.  Control does not restore, guide, balance, connect, or love either.

The truth of the matter is that in the end, control is not all that it is cracked up to be.

So while you don’t have the ability to be in control Dear One, what you do have is so much more valuable, useful, and infinitely more powerful.  And that is an unlimited ability to create.

Creativity,  the power of creation is the key to health, happiness, to balance, to endless possibilities Dear One, not control.

So the next time you feel as if things are out of control, don’t fret, don’t worry, don’t wish or pray that you had control over the situation.  Because that will never happen.

Instead try to remember that you can change it anytime that you would like simply by creating something new.

We need you to trust yourself and speak up, Dear One, now.

Please don’t wait for all of them, some of them, or even one of them to agree with you first, before you share your perspective, before you choose to act on it and expose it to the world.

Because that may never happen.

And what a shame it would be, for both you and for them, if your brilliance, your insights, your point of view, your thoughts, ideas, and opinions were never heard because someone else didn’t think of them first.

Everyday might not present you with an obvious opportunity to do something great, Dear One.

But everyday will present you with a great opportunity to be present.

And today we want to strongly encourage you to take it.

Because it is only when you are fully present that any level of greatness can ever be achieved.

When you are learning to do something new, Dear One, either by choice or by necessity, you always have options available to you for how you are going to proceed:

• You can choose to resist and proceed with frustration, resentment, impatience, and regret for the task at hand
• You can choose to allow, and proceed with excitement, optimism, hope, and an open mind as you approach the challenge before you

You can choose to focus on the work, effort and energy that will be required of you, or you can choose to focus on the many new doors that will open for you a result.

In which direction are you going to lean, Dear One?

Which option do you think is going to serve you best as you learn?

Do you want to know the secret to changing how you feel, Dear One?

We’ll tell you.

Take notice of the thought that are you thinking.

Pay attention to how it is making you feel.

If you don’t like the feeling, change it.

The thought we mean.

Pick one that makes you feel good, or better, or hopeful, or encouraged, or loved, or brave, or inspired instead!

Yes, it really is that simple.

Not easy, but simple.

“They“ are not the reason you are exhausted, Dear One.

You are.  You are exhausting yourself by trying to please them, by choosing to prioritize them and their wants, and their needs above your own.

They are not the ones to blame here.  You are doing this all by yourself.

And you can choose to stop doing it anytime that you would like.

Regardless of the way that you feel about yourself today, Dear One, you should know that who you are is never going to change.

You will always be divine.

You will always be powerful

You will always be an essential part of all that is

You will always have the power to creates worlds flowing through you

You will always be worthy of abundance, joy, respect, healing, compassion, forgiveness, and love.

And you will never be more than one choice away from any of them.

Choose well-being as your desired destination today, Dear One, and let trust be the vehicle that gets you there.

Don’t spend your time waiting, pleading, bargaining, trying to convince them to have a change of heart, Dear One.

The only heart that you have the power to change is your own.
