You don’t need to change your reality to begin to turn things around, Dear One — just your mind.

The root of your insecurity is not your height Dear One. And it is not your weight, hair, job or clothes either. It is not how you were raised, how much money you have, where you grew up, where you live now, or how much you think you are loved. It is not your siblings, your spouse or ex-best friend, and it is most definitely not your mother.

The root of your insecurity Dear One, is your head.

You head will tell you stories. It will tell you that something is wrong when it is not, that something is missing when it is well within your reach, or that something is about to disappear that is rightfully yours forever. It will tell you that if you are not careful, if you do pay attention and play by the rules that you could lose all that you have, never get all that you want, and end up with everything that you fear and despise.

Do you want to know how to put an end to it, and rid yourself of all of your insecure thoughts once and for all?

The next time you are looking for the truth Dear One, about your value, your worth, your beauty, your ability, your potential, or your importance in this world, turn to your heart instead of your head for the answer.

And then trust what it tells you.

Hate is a powerful emotion Dear One, one that is often felt very deeply.  And if you are feeling it, we are sure that you have your reasons.

Hate can be a difficult thing to let go of, even if you want to, especially when you feel that you have justifiably earned the right to feel it.

We will not ask you to stop hating Dear One. We would never ask you to do something so difficult.  We would never ask you to do something that you do not want to do.

But what we will ask of you is that you stop giving hate your attention.

What we are asking of you is that you not spend even one more minute of your  time, your thoughts, your energy,  your life, focused on that which you hate, and instead choose to focus on that which you enjoy, on that which you love, on loving each other instead.

You see Dear One, hate only serves to bring more hate into the world, nothing more.  It doesn’t fix anything, heal anything, even any score, or make things right, and it never will.

But love on the other hand has the power to transform, to heal, anything, even hate.

How do you get yourself from here to there, Dear One?

You trust yourself.

Trust your heart. Trust your instincts.  Trust your abilities.  Trust your choices. Trust your life.

Trust that you are exactly where you need to be, to learn exactly what you need to learn, to get exactly where you want to go.

Then act, and allow change to come – without fear, without guilt, without struggle, without doubt, without resistance.

And before you know it, you will be on  your way.

Don’t fight your heart Dear One, follow it.

Lay down your sword.

There are some battles that are just not worth winning.

You can be afraid or you can trust, Dear One.

But you cannot do both at once.

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.

Do you want to know how you can know for sure Dear One, in any situation, if the choice you are about to make is the compassionate choice?

We will tell you.

The compassionate choice is always, without exception, the loving choice – loving to yourself and loving to them.

The compassionate choice will never make you choose between one or the other.

So if you are struggling with what to do Dear One, if you are wanting to make the compassionate choice, but you are finding yourself torn between choosing to be loving toward yourself OR loving towards them, then you can know for sure that the choice you are about to make is not the compassionate one, and you should allow yourself the freedom to choose again.

Why are we always encouraging you to look for the best in every situation Dear One?

Because doing so feels so much better than not doing so.

And the better you feel, the better things start to get.

That’s why.

If you want things to be different today Dear One, you’ve got to do things differently.
