What they think of you does not determine  your worth Dear One.

But what you think of you does.

So, what do you think of you?

The energy that creates worlds is within you right now Dear One, flowing to you, flowing through you, flowing from you.  Whether you choose to believe it or not, whether you are conscious of it or not, you are swimming in it, interacting with it, creating with it, every minute of every day.

And yet you act as if all is ordinary, unremarkable, unchanging in your world – you behave as if something miraculous is not happening to you, right now.

Well you should know Dear One, that it is.

There is a lot that you could be stressed and distressed about today Dear One, and there is a lot that you could feel good about and be grateful for too.

Do you want to spend your day giving your attention to that which distresses you or do you want to spend it focused on that which feels good to you?

Looks like you’ve got a decision to make.

Building up your defenses Dear One, putting up a wall, is one way that you can try and protect yourself from the world, but you should know that is far from the best or most effective way to do so.

Cutting yourself off, hiding yourself away, indulging in suspicion, fear, doubt, anger, and defensiveness are all actions that will, above all else, only serve to weaken you over time.  The more you indulge in them, the more they will wear you down, the worse you will feel, the more vulnerable you will be.

But love will build you up. Trust will empower you. Confidence will strengthen you. Positive, joyful, meaningful, connections that you enjoy will make you stronger, will build up your strength.  The more you indulge in them up, the more powerful you will feel, the more powerful you will be.

If you want to protect yourself Dear One, open up, trust, make new connections, build up your confidence by joyfully engaging with the world.

If you really want to protect yourself Dear One, build bridges not walls.

Don’t try to make your life bigger Dear One.

Allow it to expand.

Doing so requires much less effort, and will yield you far better results.

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.

A quick question for you Dear One.

Are you are going to wait and see what happens, or are you going to do something about it?

Because you do have a choice

We just wanted to remind you of that.

• Thank you for being a good friend
• Thank you for loving them as only you can
• Thank you for forgiving, letting go and allowing yourself to heal
• Thank you for taking a risk, being brave, speaking up
• Thank you for telling the truth, revealing yourself, sharing your story
• Thank you for doing something that you have never done before
• Thank you for going somewhere that you have never gone before
• Thank you for using your life to create
• Thank you for every moment that you choose to live with an open heart and an open mind

We are all better off because of it Dear One.

And we wanted you to know it.

So, thank you.

You are the only one that can choose mediocrity for yourself Dear One.

You are the only one that can choose to settle for less than you want, less than you deserve.

If you want better, you’ve got to choose better.

Imagine if you can for a minute Dear One, things exactly as you want them to be?

Are you doing it?

Are you smiling?

Good.
