An artist, painting, writing, sculpting, composing, inventing, sketching, designing a piece of art, Dear One, can make no wrong move, they can make no wrong choice in the creation of their work – because it is theirs.

It can be big or small, round or square, tall or short, fat or thin, loud or soft, fast or slow, red or blue, you get the idea. It doesn’t matter. There is no “right” answer when it comes to creating art. There is only choice and preference.

And the same is true of life – there is no “right” answer when it comes to living your life.

Regardless of your vocation, education, skills, experience, sense of color and style, and ability to carry a tune, you are an artist. And your world, the reality that you perceive, is your canvas.

Today, we are going to encourage you to add to it.

Paint, dance, write, risk, create, try, fail, love, live, laugh, cry, speak up, contribute, experience, Dear One, every chance that you get, knowing that you can’t get it wrong, knowing that you can’t fail.

From our perspective, from where we are sitting, as long as you are creating, as long as you adding to the picture, you are succeeding, you are doing what you have come forth to do.

So pick up your pen, your paintbrush, your chisel, open your eyes, your heart, your mind, your mouth, and get to it.

Create.

Succeed.

Never compare or compete when it comes to matters of the heart, Dear One.

There is no more personal or divine act than coming to you know your own, and then growing to honor and respect it.

You are the only one who will ever truly know it, and you are also the only one who can ever really break it.

To compare your heart to another’s to determine what is right for you, would be as useful as comparing your fingerprints to another’s to determine self-worth.

You are not meant to live up to or down to anyone else’s standards; of beauty, or intelligence, or value, or intimacy, or love, regardless of the nature of your relationship. The standards that are appropriate for you are determined, can only ever be determined, by you and your heart alone.

So please done ever attempt to resolve matters of the heart by comparison.
You, and your divine heart deserve more respect than that.

Look within not around to find all the answers that you’ll ever need.

^^

Scream, if you need to scream, Dear One.

Cry, if you need to cry.

Lie, run, race, compete, prove a point, steal, be petty, be jealous, be mad.

Do, be, say whatever you need to, Dear One.

Just don’t quit today.

Just don’t quit.

^^

If you want to know what freedom feels like, Dear One, if you want to know what it feels like to be free, to fly — you’ve got to be willing to jump.

There is no other way.

Freedom comes to you, belongs to you, is yours, Dear One, when you take ownership of it.

• Own your choices
• Own your time
• Own your fears even

Whatever it is you are feeling today, once and for all, claim it as your own. Not as something someone gave to you. Not as something someone forced up on you. Not as something you inherited. And definitely not as something you were tricked into picking up.

Own it, Dear One. Totally and completely as your own.

Because if you are feeling it, it already exists within you, it’s already a part of you, it’s already yours.   And THAT ownership, Dear One, is not debatable.

And once you own it, accept it, claim it as your own, acknowledge that it belongs to you, then, and only then will you have the power to decide what to do with it, will you be able to decide what will become of it, will you be free to do with it as you please.

And not a moment before.

How can YOU change the world?

Do what makes you happy.

When you are happy, the whole world is better for it, Dear One.

You did not come forth into the cutting edge of reality, Dear One, onto the cutting edge of thought, creation, of all that is to stand still. Did you?

You did not come into being at this time, in this place, to stay put, to play it safe, to experience as little growth, movement, change and expansion as you possibly could. Right?

Just something for you to keep in mind while you are making up your mind about what it is you are going to do with your day.

You are not in this alone, Dear One.

But you, alone, are the only one who can change things.

If you want things to be different, if you want a different life, different circumstances, different relationships, you’re going to have to start choosing differently.

You, and you alone are the only one who can make that happen.

• You are blessed, even when you are struggling
• You are divine, even when you fail
• You are a beautiful, even when your body is tired, your eyes are dark, and your skin is sallow
• You are precious, even when you are poor
• You are loved, even when feel unworthy

The truth is, Dear One, that you are who you are; blessed, divine, beautiful, precious, and loved, and there is absolutely nothing that you or anyone else could ever do that is ever going to change that.

Asking “Why” won’t change anything, Dear One.

But taking (inspired) action will.
