Don’t try so hard today, Dear One.

Take a deep breath and allow instead.

You have a very powerful and potent healing tool available to you at all times, Dear One.

One that you can use anytime, anywhere, and under any circumstance.

Do you want to know what that tool is?

It’s words.

Do you want to know how you can use them to heal?

Speak nothing but loving, kind, caring, and compassionate ones when talking about yourself and everyone else around you today, and watch as their magic unfolds.

That wall that you’ve just run into Dear One, that one that you keep banging your head up against, you should know, that it’s not actually a wall.

It’s a door.

And the reason that the door is there Dear One, is not to keep you out.

It’s there for you to open.

And it’s not locked.

The more you allow yourself to trust Dear One, the more you practice trusting, the less you will struggle.

Our words are not always going to be comforting Dear One, because comfortable is not what is always going to serve you best.

(But they will always be supportive, encouraging, optimistic and filled with unconditional love.) 

Joy is not rooted in comfort.  Joy is rooted in movement, in progress, in forward motion, and most importantly, in growth.

Think about your greatest moments of joy Dear One.  Think about where they came from. Did they originate out of comfort, from comfortable circumstances, or from something else?

It is not our job, our goal, or our intention to make you feel comfortable.

It is our honor, our pleasure, our delight to you to help you grow, to learn, to acquire knowledge, to move forward, to make progress and experience as much joy as you possibly can.

And making you feel comfortable has very little to do with that.

• You are not allowed to be shallow.
• You are not allowed to be cruel.
• You are not allowed to be offended.
• You are not allowed to hate.
• You are not allowed to run away.
• You are not allowed to hold a grudge.
• You are not allowed to tell a lie.

Who made up these rules anyway Dear One?

Was it you?  It was certainly not us.

Not one of these things is true you know.

You are allowed to indulge in each and every one them if you should choose to do so.

But recognize that is a choice Dear One.  And whenever you make a choice, we want you to do so consciously, intentionally, ready to take full responsibility for the impact of that choice on yourself, on others and on the world around you.

What you put out there is what comes back to you Dear One. That is a universal law.

Do, be, or say anything that you would like.  You have our permission.  You are allowed.  But do so with full awareness of the fact that with every choice that you make you are establishing a point of attraction for yourself, you are extending an invitation out to the universe to send you back an energetic match.

So, yes, you are allowed to do anything that you would like Dear One.  But now that you understand the rules, do you still want to?

When you choose to ignore guidance, Dear One, or your own intuition, or a hunch, and take action instead based on some other seemingly compelling force, and things don’t work out – and you realize that if you had only trusted yourself, they would have – do not punish yourself for that choice.

The experience of learning from not doing something is just as valuable as the experience of learning from doing something – because in both cases you are learning from experience.

When you find yourself in the midst of this particular kind of learning scenario, our hope of you is that in addition to whatever it is that you have gleaned from your trial and error experience, that you will also have learned to trust in yourself more.

• Who said that it was too hard Dear One?
• Who said that you couldn’t do it?
• Who said that you were not worth the effort?
• Who said that your way was the wrong way?
• Who said that you didn’t know better?
• Who said that your opinion didn’t matter?
• Who said don’t even bother trying?

And who chose to believe that they were right?

• Do more of what feels good.
• Do less of what feels bad.

• If it pleases you, pay attention to it.
• If it does not please you, give it as little of your attention as you possibly can, none if you can manage it.

• Smile, a lot.

That’s all there is to it!

Simple, not easy.

But totally worth the effort, we can assure you of that.
