When you are learning to do something new Dear One, either by choice or by necessity, you always have options available to you for how you are going to proceed:

• You can choose to resist and proceed with frustration, resentment, impatience and regret for the task at hand
• You can choose to allow and proceed with excitement, optimism, hope, and an open mind as you approach the challenge before you.

You can choose to focus on the work, effort and energy that will be required of you or you can choose to focus on the many new doors that will open for you a result.

In which direction are you going to lean Dear One?

Which option do you think is going to best serve you and bring you the greatest amount of joy as you learn?

Love is not a word, Dear One.

• It is an action
• It is an intention
• It is a feeling, an allowing, a way to be.
• It is an energy, an attitude, a lens through which the view the world

Love is a lot of things Dear One.

But a word is definitely not one of them.

Remember that the next time that you say it, or hear it spoken to you.

You’re so close Dear One.

Right this minute, you are only one thought away from feeling so much better.

Don’t give up now.

 Never save the best for last, always choose it first.    

Every decision that you make, every action that you take, every single activity, thought or behavior that you choose Dear One, influences your experience of and has an impact on every other that follows it.

Would you rather have the best of what’s possible influencing what comes next for you, or the worst?

Finding yourself in unfamiliar territory is actually a good thing Dear One.

It means that things are moving, shifting, changing, evolving.

Instead of getting distressed about it, questioning it,  and exerting your time and energy trying to figure out how to get yourself back out of it, give yourself a minute to adjust, look around and explore this new space, because chances are that when you do, you will discover that you are standing exactly where you need to be.

In your search for balance Dear One, are you:

A:  Aligning yourself with what feels good to you, your passions, your priorities, your needs, your wants, your desires, your vision for your life?

B:  Aligning yourself with what you think is suppose to feel good , with what you think your priorities are supposed to be, with what you think you are supposed to want, need and desire for yourself or with what they want, need or desire for you?

If you are continually finding yourself out of balance, out of alignment Dear One, your answer to this question may help you to understand why.

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do Dear One, is to let go.

Don’t worry that you have missed your chance Dear One, that you have missed out, that you are missing out.

You haven’t.

We promise.

You can’t.

It’s just not possible.

You are the only one who determines what experiences, what opportunities, what relationships you are, and are not meant to have in your life.

If it didn’t happen, if you didn’t choose it, then it was not meant for you.

Don’t regret, worry, or fret over that which you did not choose.

Instead, focus your time, energy, and attention on enjoying that which you did!

And if you find that you have made a choice that you are not enjoying Dear One, accept it, learn from it, and choose again.

If you continue to hold on to the belief that you can’t Dear One, that it’s too hard, difficult, or complicated, life will go right on proving to you that you are right.

Learning how to be brave Dear One, is not about learning how to ignore your fears.  It is not about learning how to summon up the courage to push, force, or convince yourself to do something that you are afraid to do, that you don’t think you are capable of doing.

Learning how to be brave is about learning how to listen to and trust that part of yourself that knows exactly what it is that you are capable of, that knows exactly how much you can endure, that knows exactly just how powerful, clever, resilient, valuable, and strong you are, and prioritizing that voice above every other one that is telling you otherwise.
