Change is coming, Dear One. It is headed your way right now.
While you are busy trying to decide whether or not you are ready for it, it is coming anyway.
The only say that you really have in the matter is whether or not you are going to recognize it, acknowledge it, embrace and accept it when it gets here.
You can choose not to if that is what you want.
But it is coming regardless Dear One. There is no stopping it.
Rise and shine, Dear One.
There is no need for you to be afraid. There is no need for you to be fearful or trepidatious of the day ahead.
We are here with you and we are going to do this with you, we are going to walk this path with you, we are going to take this journey together.
We will be with you today, as we are with you every day.
So as you rise Dear One, keep us close to your heart, know that you are not alone, know that you are loved, supported, and being guided, know that you have great wisdom and unlimited creative power at your disposal.
And knowing all this, with great confidence, allow yourself to shine.
Don’t help because you think that you should Dear One – because you think that someone is watching – because you think it is the right thing to do – because you feel pity, fear, guilt or obligation.
Help because you want to. Help because it feels good to you to do so.
Remember, what you put out there is what you get back.
If you don’t mean it Dear One – do yourself a favor, and don’t do it.
However…
Well, you get the idea.
Don’t fake it Dear One.
Choose a different attitude instead, and then help.
If you are constantly feeling like you don’t measure up Dear One, that you are not rich enough, or tall enough, or smart enough or thin enough, etc., we’ve got a very simple solution for you that will help you to get over it in a heartbeat.
Stop measuring.
What if we told you that there was no opposition, Dear One?
What if we told you that there was only you?
What if we told you that you; your thoughts, your actions, your beliefs, were the greatest, and only source of conflict in your life?
Would you respond them any differently, if you knew this to be true?
Everyone has teachers, Dear One. Everyone has guides helping them, supporting them, showing them the way. There are not some of you who get more attention from us and some of you who get less.
The only real difference between those that appear to have more guidance in their life and those who appear to have less, is that some of you are better at looking and listening for, acknowledging, and follow the guidance that is there for you more often than others.
You have A LOT of support, A LOT of love, A LOT of help available to you at all times, Dear One. Look for it every minute of every day, trust that it is there, and you will find it. Look for it only at your place of worship and you will only find it there. Look for it only at night on the pages of your notebook, or on your canvas, or on a mountain top, and that is the only place you will find it, not because it does not exist anywhere else, but because that is only place that you will allow yourself to see it, hear it, feel it.
Look for us more often, Dear One, if you want more of us in your life, and we can assure you that you will find us.
We are always right here, all the time, without exception, for you all.
We are always so sorry to see you struggling, Dear One. We are always so sorry to see you in pain.
But what we are not sorry for is the strength that you are building, and the perspective that you are gaining as a result.
Would you want to discourage someone from working out so that they could avoid the discomfort that may come with building muscle?
If you did that Dear One, if you were to avoid all movement, all challenges, all experiences that could result in pain, both your body and your life would be greatly lacking in definition.
As you know very well from experience Dear One, there are an unlimited number of paths that you can follow that will get you from here to there.
There is no one single “right” path that you must take to get where you are trying to go.
But there are more and less direct paths that you can follow to get you there.
Would you like to know how to get yourself on the most direct path there is?
Listen to your heart, follow your instincts, trust your intuition, act on your hunches and move forward with confidence, enthusiasm, and excitement knowing that you will find all that you need to succeed along the way.
Only an open heart can heal, Dear One.
You want to know how to turn things around, Dear One?
Well the truth is that you don’t actually need to. You can keep right on heading in the direction that you are heading and still end up exactly where you want to be.
How?
While your experience of creation may feel like a linear one to you, we can assure you that it most certainly is not.
By changing your perspective, by changing what you give your attention to, you will change the road before you, you will change what lies ahead.
Focus on the darkness and the decay, and your path will grow darker. Focus on the light, the beauty, the growth that you see, even if it is just the smallest little bud, and your path will begin to grow brighter and more full of life right before your eyes.
You don’t need to exert the (potentially considerable) effort that it would take to fight the momentum of what is and turn yourself around. Instead save that energy use it to focus on the path ahead, and trust that when your stay on the lookout for that which is wanted, over that which is not, that it will always, always, always lead you in the direction of your gaze.
