Your heart does not have an OFF switch Dear One.

It is always speaking to you. It is always guiding you. It is always showing you the way.

When all you can hear is the voice in your head, the voice of fear, insecurity, doubt, judgment, concern, guilt, lack, or despair, it is does not mean that your heart has shut down, it is simply a reflection of what you are focusing on.

The voice that you give your attention to to Dear One, is the one that you will hear the loudest.

If you want to turn the volume back up on your heart, so that you can hear it loud and clear, so that it is the dominate voice within you,  simply choose to give your undivided attention to it.

Do this and it won’t take long before all of the other rumblings within you become nothing more than a faint and distant murmur in the background.

Achieving, accomplishing, or acquiring your hearts desire Dear One, is not the greatest measure of success.

The amount of joy that you experience along the way is.

Please remember to keep this in mind as you are working your way towards the top.

•  You are never going to be able to please everyone Dear One.
• You are never going to be able to get it all done.
• You are never going to be able to live your life without making mistakes, experiencing heartbreak, or suffering from loss.

These things just can’t be done, not by you or by anyone else.

But why would you want it any other way?

You learn valuable lessons from your mistakes, you grow stronger from your heartbreaks, and you are able to know and understand love in a much deeper and more intimate way through loss.

All of these impossibilities contribute to your evolution Dear One, contribute to your humanity, contribute to the experience and depth of your life.

Why would you ever want to wish them away?

What are some good reasons for you quit Dear One?

Frustration, fear, insecurity, discomfort, uncertainty, anger, sadness, doubt, distrust, jealousy, anguish, ambiguity, or despair.

None of these qualify.

So what does?

Any reason that stems from a source of strength, determination, confidence, honesty, clarity, or complete understanding.

Any reason that serves to consciously and intentionally bring you closer to that which is wanted, and not simply farther away from that which is not.

What do you think now?  Are your reasons good enough?

Today is the only today you’ve got Dear One.

It is the only today you are ever going to get.

It is the only today that has ever been and it is the only today that ever will be.

Don’t approach it like you did yesterday, or the day before that, or the day before that.

Today is different.

Today is special.

Today is the only one of its kind.

Please remember to treat it that way.

Fear exists nowhere Dear One, except within your mind.

Does that make it any less real?
Does that make it any less powerful?
Does that make it any less of a limiting or destructive force in your life?

The truth is that yes, it does, if you decide that it does.

If you want things to be different today Dear One, you’ve got to do things differently.

• Why spend your time worrying, doubting, being fearful, and uncertain when you can spend it being optimistic, trusting, confident, and at ease instead?

This is not a rhetorical question Dear One.

We would like for you to actually spend a few minutes of your time answering it.

And if you find that doing so is too great of a challenge, ask us, we’d be happy to help.

Our wish for you today Dear One, is that you will allow yourself to break with tradition, to take a break from your norms, from what is comfortable and familiar to you, from your habitual thoughts, patterns, behaviors, and beliefs and venture into the unknown — going where your heart, and opportunity leads you — without fear, without hesitation, without question.  And that you be brave, confident, trusting, and gentle on yourself as you do.

You can always choose to turn back if you would like, and return to familiar patterns, familiar behaviors, and familiar beliefs. You can always choose to revert back to what is known – if you want to.

So you’ve really got nothing to lose.

Will you do it?
