What are you thinking about right now, Dear One?

If you want more of it in your life, keep right on thinking about it, focusing on it, giving it your attention.

If you want less of it, we suggest you pick a different thought ASAP.

Yes, your thoughts really are that powerful.

Trying to assess where you are in your life, your level of success, by looking to your past to see where you have been and looking to your future to see where you are heading, will not yield you any meaningful results, Dear One.

Why?

Because the spectrum on which you are standing is eternal. Trying to determine your specific location on a scale that is eternal would be like trying to pinpoint  the location of one specific drop of water in the ocean.

If you want to know where you stand in the spectrum of your life, Dear One, with regards to your level of success, answer the only question that will ever be able to provide you with a meaningful answer:

Am I happy/aligned/balanced right now?

Sometime healing does not require a new herb, potion, tonic or pill, Dear One.  Sometimes it does not require a new way of thinking, moving, eating, or behaving. Sometimes it does not require a new mantra, meditation, massage or treatment.  Sometimes it doesn’t even require compassion, understanding, insight or forgiveness.

Sometimes, Dear One, the only thing that is required to heal, is rest.

So, before you go off in search of a new answer, a new technique, a new practice, a new method, a new plan for healing your body, for healing your mind, for healing your life, why not give resting a try first and see how you feel.

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.

Never stop being amazed by the reality of tomorrow, Dear One, because it is a pretty amazing reality.

The fact that there is space that exists ahead of you – empty, blank space, full of possibility, just waiting for you to do with as you please, just waiting for you to fill it up with everything that you desire – should have you over the moon excited – every single day.

Tomorrow is like the extra space that you leave for yourself in your suitcase when you pack for a trip.   You leave yourself the extra room because you know that you are going to find good stuff when you get there that you going to want to take home with you.

Tomorrow is just like that.  It is the extra space ready to be filled with all of the wonderful,  unexpected treasures that you find along the way.

But here’s the catch – you must remember to leave room for it, Dear One.  You must remember to leave space for yourself when you are packing for your trip – for something new, something unexpected, something wonderful, something different to show up for you.   If you pack your bag to the top, if you plan out every last detail of your day ahead of time, if you cram your schedule full with the known, with the predictable, with the expected – you will be missing out on of the greatest treasures available to you in this lifetime.

So this evening as you are thinking about – planning for – anticipating tomorrow, Dear One – our recommendation to you is this – get excited and pack lightly.

Do you believe yourself to be a victim of the circumstances of your life, Dear One, or the creator of them?

Take a minute to think about it before you answer, because your reply will pretty much determine the course of the rest of your day, your week, your month, your year, your life.

Scream, if you need to scream today, Dear One.

Cry, if you need to cry.

Lie, run away, compete, prove a point, be petty, be jealous, be mad, be silent.

Do, be, say whatever you need to, Dear One.

Just don’t quit.

Just don’t quit.

Everyone is a teacher, Dear One.

Everyone around you has something to teach you.

Yes, everyone.

But here is the thing.

The value, the importance, the significance, the impact of the lessons that they have to share with you has practically nothing to do with how good of a teacher they are, and absolutely everything to do with how of good of a student you choose to be.

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 relieve yourself from guilt is by taking responsibility, by shifting yourself from a position of weakness to one of authority over your own life.

To ride this ride, Dear One, you must trust.

To do it any other way makes it so much more difficult than it needs to be.

What are you meant to trust in?

Our answer to that question is right here.
