When push comes to shove, Dear One, when everyone around you seems to be doing a lot of pushing and shoving, trying to keep up, trying to get ahead, trying to win, here is what you should do to make sure that they do not get the jump on you:
Step aside.
Let those pushing, push along without you.
Let those shoving, shove right by.
Believe us when we tell you that you do NOT want to go where they are going.
You cannot control your feelings, Dear One.
But you can choose to think a different thought and change them.
Some may call this a denial of what is.
But we would call it getting yourself into a better feeling place so that you can more effectively deal with what is.
There is no rule anywhere, Dear One, that says that you have to feel badly when dealing with a difficult situation.
Choosing balance/alignment as your new top priority, Dear One, would change everything.
If you do this, if you make this one choice, everything will change.
And so today we say to you, Dear One; Do it! & Let it!
Once you get started, you’ll see, it’s a whole lot easier than it seems.
And if you need help, please ‘click’ and ask for it.

How do you know if you are in the flow, Dear One, if you are on the right path for you, if you are going after the right things for you, in the right way for you?
Here is one simple way to know for sure.
That is how you know.
^
If you want to feel better about the decisions that you are making in your life, Dear One, we have a suggestion for you; stop asking other people for their opinions of them.
Why are we always encouraging you so strongly to be fully present in the moment, Dear One?
We’ll tell you.
That’s why.
No, Dear One, you are not f#@%ing up.
You are simply choosing; to want this and not that, to allow this and not that, to create this and not that.
And all of these choices are not necessarily going to be well received by those around you. They are not necessarily going to feel good to those around you. They are not necessarily going to create balance and wellbeing for those around you. And they may even cause those around you to lash out as a consequence.
But you are not choosing for THEIR greatest good, Dear One. You are choosing for your own.
(and don’t forget that they are doing the same.)
And today we want you to do more of it, not less.
And KNOW that if everyone around you does not embrace your choices, and a little bit (or a lot) of chaos ensues as a result, that you have our word that even in the midst of this chaos, you are most definitely NOT f#@%ing up.
Keep choosing you.

They are not the reason you are exhausted, Dear One.
You are. You are exhausting yourself by trying to please them, by choosing to prioritize them and their needs above your own.
They are not the ones doing this to you. You are doing this all by yourself, to yourself.
And you can choose to stop doing it anytime that you would like.
Your bad feelings are merely a symptom.
They are a symptom that arises when what you want, what you desire, what you feel you deserve, what you feel you are entitled to, is not in alignment with, or a reflection of, what you’ve got.
And here are two ways that you can go about finding relief from this very uncomfortable symptom:
(And if you were thinking that that last one sounded a whole lot like we were talking about gratitude, you should know that you’d be right.)
It only feels as if you are risking something by stepping out into the unknown, Dear One – going somewhere that you have never gone before, trying something that you have never tried before.
But the truth is that there is no safer place that you could possibly be than on the edge of something new, in the process of creation.
Resistance causes risk, Dear One. Fear, hesitation, uncertainty, and doubt, all serve to pinch off the flow of source energy into your life. Trust, creativity, connection, and creation, all serve to open it up.
So basically, what we are telling you is that holding back, hesitation, doubt, resistance, and fear are far greater sources of risk for you in your life than trying something new ever would be, ever could be.
So why take the risk?
Because standing on the edge of something new, be-ing the process of creation, is the safest place that you could ever possibly be.
