On: Doing it all
So you want to know how to do it all, Dear One?
One bright, beautiful, deliberate, trusting, bold, loving, confident, compassionate, grateful, joyful step at a time.
There truly is no other way.
On: Storytime
Before you do anything else today, Dear One, stop and take a minute to think about the stories that you tell, that you have been telling, to yourself, and to everyone around you, about your life, about your work, about your relationships, about your health, about your wealth, about what’s possible, about what’s not, etc.
- Have they been positive or negative, optimistic or pessimistic, comedies or tragedies? Are they fact or fiction? Are they from the heart or from the head? Do they create an expectation of a happy ending or an unhappy one?
Then take notice of what has been showing up for you lately; in your work, in your relationships, in your physical body, in your environment, etc.
If you like what you see, if you are pleased with what is coming your way, great! Keep right on telling the same kinds of stories that you have been telling.
But, if that is not the case, Dear One, if what is showing up for you is not what you were hoping for, then it may be time for you to start telling new ones.
Why not start today?
On: The path of least resistance
The path of least resistance does not lead to sameness, Dear One, it leads to change.
How?
We’ll explain.
The world is constantly changing, all the time. Everything within and around you is always in a state of change. It is either growing or decaying, without exception.
In each and every moment of your life you are changing too, you are different, you are not the same person, in the same environment that you were the moment before, and therefore do not have the same perspective that you had the moment before.
So therefore while you may think that doing nothing will lead to nothing and will result in everything remaining unchanged, it is just not true. The truth, Dear One, is actually that if you do nothing, absolutely nothing but allow life to flow and yourself to flow along with it, no moment, no day, no experience in your life will ever be the same, could ever be the same, as it was the moment before.
Can you see that?
Sameness requires effort. Sameness requires action. Sameness can only happen if you choose to create it, if you choose to do, and be, and say, and think something over and over and over again in an environment of constantly changing conditions.
Can you see that?
On: Love by example
Choose to love yourself first, Dear One, and show them how it’s done.
We can think of no more powerful gift that you could give them today then to help them to know the experience, the joy, the potential, the pleasure of self-love/self-care.
On: Allowing your heart to feel
Allow yourself to relinquish control, Dear One.
Allow yourself to bond with your own heart.
Allow yourself to feel its beating. Allow yourself to feel its wanting. Allow yourself to feel its passion. Allow yourself to notice its subtleties – when it is happy, or glad, or giddy, when it is questioning, when it is certain, when it is emotionless, when it is filled with joy, filled with regret, filled with sadness, filled with love.
Allow yourself to feel it all, Dear One. Allow yourself to want more for yourself than just the absence of discomfort, the absence of pain, the absence of desire.
Please do not make it your hearts ambition to feel as little as possible, Dear One.
For that would be as great a loss as choosing to close your eyes forever after witnessing only one sunrise.
On: Eyes front
Keep looking forward, Dear One, no matter what.
Where you are going matters so much more than where you have been.
Sobre: Los sentimientos
Recuerda, Querido/a: Las emociones son algo que sientes, no son lo que eres ni definen quién eres.
On: Being realistic
Some people will tell you that wishful thinking will get you nowhere, Dear One, that it is useless, pointless and a waste of your time.
Well, we are here to tell you that those people are wrong.
The truth is that it is wishful thinking that gets you everywhere.
So if you are not already doing it, if you are not already allowing yourself to feel the pure pleasure, joy and excitement of dreaming about, thinking of and wishing for all that you need, want and desire, start doing so today, right now.
You are the creator of your reality Dear One, joyfully imagining it the way that you want it to be is one of the most realistic steps that you take in the process of creating it.
On: Only one choice to make
There truly is only one choice for you to make everyday, Dear One, and that is to choose to allow life to flow through you, or to choose to not allow life to flow through you.
Every other decision that you make is just a expression of either one or the other.
On: Making a different choice
Why pray for, hope for, talk about, and seek out change Dear One, if at every possible opportunity to embrace it you choose that which is known to you, that which is comfortable, that which is familiar, that which feels safe, over that which is new, different, unknown, uncertain or unpredictable?
Are you not ready? Are you afraid? Are you unaware of the fact that the choices you are making are keeping you right where you are?
Praying for, hoping for, talking about change is a great start Dear One, but it’s not enough.
If you are truly ready for change in your life, you’re going to have to remember to choose it.
