On: The gift of contrast
Life is showing you all of the time, every minute of every day, an option for happiness, Dear One.
Life is showing you all of the time, every minute of every day, an option for happiness, Dear One.
Matters of the heart Dear One always seem to be much more complicated then they actually are.
But you see, love is love. It is what it is. Wonderful, powerful, intoxicating, healing, transformative, transcendent, inspiring, fun. No matter how you slice it, dice it or serve it up – love is just that, love. And there is nothing complicated about it.
Love only becomes complicated Dear one, when you begin to put dependencies on it and assign requirements to it – when you decide that it exists only in conjunction with a specific set of circumstances, behaviors, actions, words, or deeds. THAT is where the complication rests Dear One – not with love.
The truth is that love has no dependencies and it is everywhere. You are swimming in it in fact. And all you need to do to experience it, is allow yourself to open up to it – allow it to flow to you, through you and from you. And the way many of you learn how to do that, to open up to the experience of love, is through relationships with people that inspire you to fall, and through that inspiration you learn to let go, open up, and let it flow.
But remember Dear One, that love is not sex. Love is not marriage. Love is not a family. Love is not a promise, a commitment, a duty, an obligation or a responsibility.
We want to help you see that any complications that you think you are experiencing as a result of love – are actually a part of your perceived personal reality only, and are not in fact a reality of love.
Grant yourself a great gift today Dear one and let go of all of the things, rules, dependencies that you have put in place as a condition of love and give yourself permission to simply allow it, experience it, enjoy it, be inspired by it, transformed by it, healed by it. Swim in it Dear One, unfettered, undefined, uncomplicated, love.
Life, can be complicated Dear One, but love never is.
Enjoy it.
Don’t try to make your life bigger and better Dear One.
Trust, let go, connect, find any excuse that you can to feel good, and allow it to expand instead.
Doing it this way requires far less effort and will yield you far better results.
While you are making progress along your path Dear One, making your way along your journey, which do you think is more important? The answers that you find or the questions that you ask along the way?
Have you ever noticed that your best, most impactful, most significant and meaningful moments, the ones that have influenced and taught you the most, were not had as a result of finding an answer?
All of those moments and experiences were actually found in your pursuit of an answer to a question.
Does that make sense?
Take a minute and ask yourself, what is the question that you have asked yourself that you are currently in pursuit of an answer to?
If you don’t know, take some time and think about it. Figure it out. Because once you do, it is going to greatly impact your perspective of the path that you are now currently on.
What we are trying to tell you Dear One, what we are trying to say is that you don’t need to put your time, energy, and attention into searching out better answers to help you make sense of your life.
What you want to do is to shift your focus and your attention away from a pursuit of answers, and begin to allow life, experience, the world and people around you to motivate you, to teach you, to inspire you to ask better questions.
Now that you have asked for what you want Dear One, we suppose you’ll also want to ask when you can expect for it to get here?
And we’ve got an answer for you.
It depends.
While you are waiting, do you plan on spending your time looking for evidence of its arrival or do you plan on spending it looking for evidence of its absence?
Your response will directly determine its rate of travel towards you.
Forgive yourself Dear One, now, for whatever it is.
Why?
Because you can’t beat yourself up and heal, make amends, or move forward in any positive or useful way until you do.
That’s why
So many of you keep asking us and yourselves “What went wrong?”
When things don’t go according to plan, when things don’t turn out as expected, when things don’t go as desired, as you hoped they would, as you wanted them to, as you needed them to, the first thing you very often ask when the dust begins to settle is “What did I do wrong?”
And we can tell you Dear One. We have the answer to that question.
Here it is: You did absolutely nothing wrong.
How do we know? How can we say for sure?
Because there is no such thing as right or wrong. Right or wrong are judgments. There is only connection or disconnection, allowing or resistance, living your life with an open heart or a closed one.
That is all.
So the next time that things go awry, in a very small inconsequential way, or in a very large and significant way, instead asking yourself “What did I do wrong?”, trying asking yourself this: Did I choose connection or disconnection? Did I choose allowing or resistance? Did I choose with an open heart or a closed one?
Do that Dear One, and what you will end up with will not be a list of judgements against yourself, a list of your faults, mistakes, bad decisions, or weakness. But you will end up with is a list of insightful, useful, positive, hopeful and actionable solutions instead.
Only an open heart can heal, Dear One.
There can be no brighter future ahead Dear One, if you don’t allow more light into your present.
The very best thing that you can do to create a better tomorrow for yourself is to find something to be happy about today.
If you don’t already know the answers to these questions, do yourself a favor and spend a little time figuring them out.
Why?
Because 100% of your experience in this life is dependent on it.

The answers you are seeking have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with who they think you are, what they think you are capable of, or what they believe is possible for you.
