You should know, Dear One, that as soon as you stop feeding it with your thoughts, acknowledging it with your attention, strengthening it with your words, and telling anyone that will listen about how much you wish it wasn’t so, that which no longer serves you, that which you longer want, will begin to go away.

Keep choosing what you know, what’s familiar, what’s safe, what’s predictable, and you will continue to get more of what you’ve already got, Dear One.

If more of the same is what you want, keep right on doing what you are doing, thinking what you are thinking, feeling what you are feeling.  Keep your mindset, your beliefs, your intentions, exactly as they are.

However, if what you want is something different, something more, something new, something adventurous, something unexpected, you are going to have to trust, Dear One – trust us, trust yourself, trust the universe, trust in something or someone enough to allow yourself to choose differently this time.

Which would you prefer?

• To live in an abundant universe filled with unlimited resources, or one filled with shortages and lack?

• To have an unlimited number of choices available to you in every situation, or only one?

• To live in a reality that is fluid, forgiving, changeable, and influenced by all those who live in it, or one that is linear, solid and unforgiving, that you are powerless to change?

Choose your answers wisely, Dear One, because once you do, you are going to have to live with them, you are going to have to live in the reality that they create as a result.

The next time you are feeling lonely, alone, or disconnected, Dear One, instead of feeling badly about it, instead of focusing on those feelings of loneliness, isolation, or sadness, which will only serve to exacerbate them, use it as an opportunity to grant yourself permission to use that time to go within, to listen to your heart, and connect.

When you do, you just may get a glimpse of the eternal, sacred, divinity that lives within you, that connects you to everyone and every other living thing in your world.

And once you see that, once you are able to feel it, even if only for a second, it will be difficult for you to ever feel lonely, alone or disconnected again.

Why are we always encouraging you to come back to the present moment, Dear One?

•  It is the only place you can heal.
•  It is the only place you can grow.
•  It is the only place you can create.
•  It is the only place you can feel pleasure.
•  It is the only place you can build confidence.
•  It is the only place you can have an intimate connection with someone.
•  It is the only place that you can fully enjoy the experience of being you, of being alive.

That’s why.

Our words are not always going to be comforting, Dear One, because comfortable is not what is always going to serve you best.

(But they will always be supportive, encouraging, optimistic and filled with unconditional love.) 

Joy is not rooted in comfort.  Joy is rooted in movement, in progress, in forward motion, and most importantly, in growth.

Think about your greatest moments of joy Dear One.  Think about where they came from. Did they originate out of comfort, from comfortable circumstances, or from something else?

It is not our job, our goal, or our intention to make you feel comfortable.

It is our honor, our pleasure, our delight to help you grow, to learn, to acquire knowledge, to move forward, to make progress and experience as much joy as you possibly can.

And making you feel comfortable has very little to do with that.

You did not come forth into the cutting edge of reality, Dear One, onto the cutting edge of thought, creation, of all that is to stand still. Did you?

You did not come into being at this time, in this place, to stay put, to play it safe, to experience as little growth, movement, change and expansion as you possibly could. Right?

Just something for you to keep in mind while you are making up your mind about what it is you are going to do today.

There is no such thing as impossible, Dear One.  There are only those things that you have not yet seen come to pass.

There is a HUGE difference between Never and Not Yet.

Practice saying “Not Uet” instead of “Never” and your whole perspective of the world, of what’s possible, will change.

Never closes doors, Dear One.

Not Yet blows them wide open.

If you want to experience real change in your life, Dear One, change.

Make a different choice, take a different route, try a different approach, eat a different breakfast.

If you don’t know how to do that, if you don’t know what to change to make things better, ask for help.

If you don’t know who to ask, if you don’t know who to turn to, ask us, through prayer, mediation or even email.  Whatever works best for you.

But know, Dear One, that no matter what, if you are ready to choose it, change is always available to you.

If you continue to insist on holding on to the belief that who you are is not enough, Dear One, that who you are is less than that which anyone else is,  life will go right on proving to you that you right.
