The best way to forgive, Dear One, is with radical love.

Love yourself so much, so completely and totally, with your whole heart, with every single bit of who you are, so  that there is nothing left over to hate with.

LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY: 8 out of 10  (but so totally worth it.)

Please keep front of mind today, Dear One, all day, that you are here to live YOUR life.

You are here to have a very personal and unique experience of being YOU.

Your singular purpose for being alive is to live YOUR life, YOUR way, connected to YOUR source, creating what only YOU can, as only YOU can do it.

You are absolutely not here to follow, mimic, emulate or become more like  anyone else.  Or to be liked, loved, accepted, admired, respected, or adored by anyone but YOU.

And yes, this message really is meant just for you.

^^

Fear doesn’t heal, Dear One.

But faith does.

Accepting who you are, Dear One, understanding, trusting, believing, that you are energy, consciousness, a divine spirit having a physical experience, that you are an essential part of all that is, that you are connected to everything and everyone, that you are a powerful creator responsible for the expansion of the universe, changes nothing.

• Who you are will remain the same
• Your face will not change
• Your gifts and talents will remain exactly as they are
• Your world will still be round
• You will still wake up everyday, in your physical body, and need to tend to your physical needs

Accept who you really are and nothing will be different, except for your perception of what is, your belief of what can be, your understanding of your connection to all things, your awareness of how you are creating your world, and your experience of everything in it.

Everything will remain exactly the same, Dear One, and nothing will ever be the same again.

When you are hurting, Dear One, when you are in pain, please remember this; you have come to this place to heal this place.

You did not end up here because you did something wrong. You did not end up here because you are being punished. You did not end up here because you are being tested, tortured, or asked to prove yourself.

You ended up here Dear One, for one reason and one reason only, because you are being given an opportunity to heal.

Childhood is over, Dear One. You are no longer a little person living within an environment that you have seemingly no control over. You are an adult and whether you believe it or not, you are able to make decisions for yourself.

When faced with a trial that requires you to face your past, remember that whatever it is, it is no longer your current reality. You don’t have to bring it back into the present moment with you if you choose not to. Others might approach you on the subject with energy, impressions or patterns that used to exist back then. It may still be their reality.  That doesn’t mean that it has to continue to be yours.

Remember at those moments, that you can choose not to dive right back into old patterns with them. You can choose to stay right where you are, in the present moment and deal with the situation from where you now stand. Just because they are choosing to engage in old patterns, does not mean that you have to join them in this practice.

When facing the past, Dear One, anchor yourself in the present first, for that is the only place from where you can impact change.   KNOW that what you have learned and accomplished for yourself since that time, no one can take away from you, ever.

In the present, you get to decide what your past means to you. You can assign a lot of meaning to it or no meaning at all. That is completely up to you and only you.

They provide the details, Dear One, with their words, actions, choices, behaviors, and beliefs, but you are the author, you are the one writing the story.

It is up to you to decide what kind of story it will be.

• Will it be a comedy or a tragedy?
• Will you cast yourself as a victim or a victor?
• Will it take place in an abundant universe or one filled with lack?
• Will your opinions, feelings, and beliefs matter more than theirs, or less?
• Will they hold the key to your happiness, or will you hold on to that yourself?

Their words, actions,  choices, behaviors, and beliefs won’t tell you what you need to know, Dear One.  So don’t look to them for the answers

You are going to have to decide for yourself.

This is the story of your life.

No one can write it but you.

• Do more of what feels good.
• Do less of what feels bad.

• If it pleases you, pay attention to it.
• If it does not please you, give it as little of your attention as you possibly can, none if you can manage it.

• Smile, every chance you get.

That’s how it’s done.

Simple, not easy.

But totally worth the effort, we can assure you of that.

This is how you master this day, Dear One;

• Sleep when you are tired
• Eat when you are hungry
• Move when you are restless
• Cry when you are sad

And love yourself, in every way, through it all.

^^

This is not a test, Dear One.  And it is not some puzzle to figure out either.  Challenges are not trials.

This is your life.  YOUR life, to do with as you please.

There truly are no have-to’s.

There are only choices.

And they are all yours to make.
