Do you want to know how to find to your center Dear One?  Do you want to know how to move towards a greater state of balance?

Look for, seek out, create, move towards, spread, allow yourself to experience joy, as much of it as you possibly can.

Love, laugher, happiness, compassion, contentment, joyful feelings, are all expressions of balance and reflections of alignment.

• The more joy you  experience, the better you will feel, the closer you will be to a balanced state.
• The more balanced you are, the more balance you will bring to the world.
• The more balance you bring to the world, the better off we all will be because of it.

You should know Dear One, that joy is at the center of balance and alignment for us all, and that your experience of it serves a far greater purpose than just making you feel good.

So just in case you were wondering if feeling better, if going in search of your center, in search of balance is really worth all of the effort, we want to reassure you, that it most definitely is.

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.

Maybe you are not losing your edge Dear One.

Maybe you are in the process of creating a new one, a better one.

Did you ever think of that?

Contrary to popular belief Dear One, a promise is not actually something that you make to another person.

A promise is and only can be something that you make to yourself.

It is a commitment, an assurance that you make to you.

You can share a promise out loud if you want to. You can tell those around you what you intend to do. You can intimately share it with one person or you can enthusiastically share it with a group of people.

But, if you don’t recognize and truly understand right from the start that promises are something that you can only make to yourself, then you will almost always certainly fail at keeping them.

Forgiveness isn’t about condoning, accepting, forgetting, or dismissing their poor behavior, hurtful words, or damaging actions Dear One.

It is about making a choice to prioritize yourself, your health, your happiness, and your well-being, over your pain.

Yes, the best way to learn is through experience Dear One.

But you don’t need to drink the poison to know that it will kill you.

Be adventurous. Be Daring. Take a chance. Try something new. Risk it. Live.

All the while remembering that you were given intuition, knowledge, and wisdom for a reason.

So don’t forget to use them.

Just because you may have stopped believing in yourself Dear One, does not mean that you are not worth believing in.

Step out onto the field today as a pitcher instead of a catcher Dear One, and watch how your perspective of the whole game changes right before your eyes.

There is no such thing as impossible Dear One. There are only those things that you have not yet seen come to pass.

There is a huge difference between never and not yet.

Practice saying “not yet” instead of “never” and everything changes.

Never closes doors.

Not yet blows them wide open.

Shift your attention from that which is unwanted, that which is making you unhappy, that which is causing you pain, stress, and bringing you down, to that which is wanted, that which is desired, to that which makes you feel good, brings you joy, and makes you happy.

But proceed with caution when you do Dear One.  The results of doing so could be dramatic and intense.

You just might find yourself feeling significantly and profoundly better almost immediately.

You’ve been warned.
