When the sun comes up in the morning, you know this is a part of a cycle, Dear One.  When the sun sets in the evening, you know this too is part of the same cycle. You do not wonder when the sun disappears at the end of the day if it will rise again the next.  You count on it doing so and act accordingly.

Like the rising and setting of the sun, there are certain cycles that are always at play in your life. Can you spot them? Are there cycles in your romantic relationships, your creativity, your physicality, your friendships, your work?

When it gets dark in the evenings you adjust to that stage of the sun’s cycle.  You have learned to accept and adapt to periods of darkness without fear.  You behave differently during them then you might when the sun is bright. One stage is not better or worse than the other, but each is more or less ideal for completing certain tasks.

Witness the other cycles in your life and take note of how you adapt to periods of darkness vs. light.

When cycles are in motion, things will always change, and change, and then change again.  How you choose to experience that change is up to you.  You can fight it, fear it, dread it, or hate it, or you can trust it, accept it, embrace it and adapt to it, with the eager anticipation of waiting for the beauty of the next sunrise, trusting that regardless of how dark the night may become, that the light will always return.

If you are unsure of what it means to love yourself Dear One, of what it looks like to love yourself, of what you are meant to do, of how you are meant to think, speak act, and behave towards yourself in ways that are loving, we will tell you precisely what you can do to figure it out.

Think of someone that you love very much, deeply, purely, totally, and completely.  Imagine how you would care for them, speak to them, think of them, feed them, comfort, them, react and respond to them if they came to you confused, unsure or in need, with a question, a problem, or hurt feelings, with a broken heart, body or spirit.

• Have you got it?
• Are you picturing it?
• Can you imagine what you would do for them?
• Can you imagine how you would treat them?

If you can, then you’ve just found your answer.

In order for your current reality to look and feel and taste and smell more the way you want it to Dear One, you’ve got to be willing to make some sacrifices.

You’ve got to be willing to sacrifice the old story you’ve been telling about yourself, the old image you’ve been holding onto of yourself,  the old patterns that you have been maintaining for yourself.

You’ve got to consciously decide to give them up before you can move on.

Do you think you can do that?

Do you think you can make those sacrifices Dear One?

We do.

And we’ll even help you to get started.

Paint a picture in your head of what you want your life to look like, to feel like, to be like Dear One.  Allow yourself to really go there in your heart.  Stay in this place, creating as much detail as you possibly can until you find yourself smiling and enjoying the experience you are creating for yourself.

Got it?

Now start living and acting, and making choices and decisions as if you were already there.

Do you want to know what’s  coming next Dear One?  Do you want to know what is headed your way right now?

The short answer is: It depends

• When you create peacefully, when you think, speak, act, and feel at peace, you are creating peace, you are attracting peacefulness to you, you are in the process of manifesting peaceful people, events, and circumstances into your life.

• When you create from a place of stress, from a place of agitation, desperation, or hopelessness, from a place of fear, lack, or greed, with a lack of compassion, empathy, or forgiveness, you are engaging in the process of manifesting into your life people, events, and circumstances that will bring you more of the same.

So if you want to know what is coming next Dear One, if you want to know what is headed your way right now, start paying attention to how you are feeling, what you are thinking, what you are saying, how you are behaving, and the attitude with which you are doing it all, and it won’t take long for you to figure it out.

• Don’t worry that you have missed out Dear One.
• Don’t worry that you made the wrong choice, waited too long, or missed the boat.
• You have not. You did not. You can not.

Do you know what the universal force is that dictates the experiences, people, and relationships that you are and are not meant to have in your life?

You are it!

If it didn’t happen, if you didn’t choose it, then it was not meant to be.  It’s just that simple.

So don’t worry, regret or fret over that which was not Dear One.

Instead enjoy, give your attention to, celebrate that which was, that which is, instead.

And if you should find yourself in the all too common situation where you have made a choice that you are not enjoying – accept it, learn from it, and choose again.

Unfortunately Dear One, avoidance is not going to help you to relieve your anxiety.

Neither is confrontation, bravery, denial, will-power, brute strength, comradery, or perseverance.

The only thing that is going to do it, that is going to bring you relief for any sustainable length of time is trust, is learning how to trust yourself again.

And how, you might ask, are you suppose to do that?

The same way that you learn how to do anything else.

You practice.

It’s easy to be grateful for all that you’ve got Dear One.

It’s wise to be grateful for that which is missing, for that which you want but don’t yet have

Why?

Because gratitude is so much more than you think it is. It is so much more than just a feeling, an attitude, or a mindset of appreciation.

It is also a powerful act of creation.

When you are grateful, when you are feeling gratitude, you are actively engaging in the process of creating more of whatever it is you are grateful for, of inviting more of it into your life.

That’s why.

We want to make this as simple for you as we possibly can, Dear One.

Forgiveness has absolutely, positively, nothing what so ever to do with them.

It is simply the act of releasing your connection to something that no longer serves you,  releasing your bond with something that you no longer want to remain connected to.

It is letting go of the rope that is dragging you, removing your hand from the hot stove that is burning you, abandoning the sinking ship.

What if you knew Dear One, with absolute certainty, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that everything was going to be ok, that everything was going to work out?

• How do you think you would feel?
• How do you think you would behave?
• How do you think you would love, work, play, choose, sleep, eat, shop, connect?

Differently than you do now?

Want to find out?

Then all you need to do is this one simple thing – Trust.

Trust us when we tell you this Dear One, with absolute certainty, beyond a shadow of a doubt –  Everything is going to be ok, everything is going to work out.

You can count on it – and act accordingly.
