On: The lack of tolerance
If you want to see more tolerance in the world Dear One, be more tolerant.
Period.
On: Working harder
Struggling, working harder, suffering through, will never serve you as well as getting happy will in reaching your goals Dear One.
One small action taken in joy will always be infinitely more powerful than 100 taken in anger, frustration, fear, resentment, sadness or uncertainty.
Get happy and then get to work – not the other way around.
We assure you that the time spent on yourself first will be well worth the effort.
On: Creating shrinkage
As soon as you stop feeding it Dear One, with your thoughts, with your words, and with your actions, and with your beliefs, it will cease to grow.
Keep it up long enough, and it will disappear all together.
On: What do you expect?
Your expectations are a moving target Dear One.
They can shift as frequently as your needs….. as your moods.
- When you need more – you expect more.
- When you need less – you tend to expect less and be much more forgiving.
Expectations change – often. So be careful not to put too much emphasis or importance on having them met.
Eliminate them all together and you will be eliminating one of the greatest sources of disappointment from your life.
On: What you put in
Create from an angry, stressed out, frustrated, put upon place Dear One, and no matter how hard you work, how hard you try, how good your intentions are, the very best that you are going to be able to do is create more of the same.
You can’t make a blueberry pie out of apples.
Get it?
On: What are your intentions?
What are your intentions for the day Dear One?
What is it that you want to create, to experience, to put out into the world today, and what is it that you are hoping to get back in return?
It’s an important question for you to answer, consciously, intentionally and from the heart. Because if you don’t, your ego, your habits, your patterns, your emotions, that unrelenting voice in your head that thinks it knows it all is going to answer for you.
And if that happens, what do you think the chances are that you are going to be happy with the response?
On: Choosing a travel companion
When choosing a travel companion Dear One, whether it someone who will walk with you for a moment, a mile or a lifetime, remember this – no one has the ability to propel you forward or hold you back but you.
You and you alone are responsible for the speed, distance and direction that you travel.
Others can influence you, encourage you, teach you, inspire you, build you up or knock your down, or attempt to manipulate you to move this way or that way – but in the end it is you who decides where you put one front down in front of the other.
Who you choose to travel with matters Dear One, just not as much as you may think.
On: Being on time
There is no divine schedule Dear One.
- There is you and your journey.
- You and your experiences.
- You and your relationships.
- You and your attitude, choices, behaviors, patterns, and beliefs.
You are not late. You are not behind schedule. You do not have to hurry to catch up. And you most definitely did not miss your chance.
As long as you are moving forward Dear One, at a pace that is pleasing to you, you are right on track.
We just thought you should know.
On: Being independent
The realization that you are bound by nothing Dear One, but the limits of your own choices and your own imagination – that is what true independence is.
On: Determining how they treat you
Treat yourself well Dear One; with kindness, love, honestly, flexibility, generosity, compassion, forgiveness, and respect.
Why?
Because they’re watching and are taking their lead from you.
