Why be here now, Dear One?

• Because the more present you are, the more you focus your attention in the present moment, the more you will see, hear, smell, taste, and feel, the more aware you will be of what is going on around you, and within you.
• And the more you understand that, the more you will understand the impact of your choices, how they make you feel, and how they are serving you (or not serving you), in the present moment.
• And the more you understand that, the more you will understand cause and effect, the more you will come to understand what is real and what is a product of your own imagination.
• And the more you understand that, the more you will be able to take responsibility for your choices, for your actions, thoughts, beliefs and behaviors.
• And more you are able to do that that, the more you will come to understand just how powerful you really are.

That’s why.

You are loved, Dear One, beyond words, beyond deeds, beyond thoughts, beyond time, beyond space, beyond compare.

It’s important that you know that.

Do you want to know how you can transform even the most complicated situation into a simple one, Dear One?   We’ll tell you.

When considering all of the possible ways in which you could choose to respond, choose the simplest one, every time.

That is all there is to it!

The best and only way to create simplicity from complexity, is to choose it.

The best thing that you can do to plan for your future, Dear One is to not wait.

• Do what it is you most want to do.
• Try what it is you most want to try.
• Say what it is that you most want to say.
• Be who it is that you most want to be.

Don’t plan on how to do it someday.  Do it today.  Do it now.

The best thing that you can do to plan for your future, Dear One, is to live your life fully, in the present.

What were you thinking, Dear One?

What exactly are you trying to create for yourself when you neglect the physical needs of your body, ignore your instincts, compromise your integrity, disregard your hearts desires, spend beyond your means, allow yourself to be guided by fear, anger, hatred, regret, self loathing, insecurity, or greed?

What is the grand plan here?

Where do you think these choices, these actions, these behaviors are going to lead you?

If you think that is going to be somewhere good, somewhere that you are going to be happy about when you arrive, think again, Dear One.

Regardless of who’s on it and how long the list gets, Dear One, know this:  There is no one more important than yourself for you to please.

Make yourself happy and you will be doing more than you can possibly imagine towards making those around you happy too.

Some things, can only been seen in the dark, Dear One.

To never enter the dark room, to never walk through the darkness with your eyes open, is to miss out on half of the experience of being alive.

The only heart that you have the power to change, Dear One, is your own.

Make every excuse you can think of to feel good (or better) today, Dear One.

That is all.

Decide right now, Dear One, before you do anything else, how you are going to approach this day.

Are you going to react to it, and all of the people, circumstances and events in it, or are you going to intentionally create it? Are you going to approach it with confidence or with fear?  With trust or with doubt? With excitement or with dread?  With self-pity or with gratitude? With an open heart or a closed one? With a belief in limitations or in endless possibilities?

Think carefully about your answer, Dear One, choose it very consciously, because whatever you decide right now, is going to impact every other decision that you make today, and your experience of every single thing that follows.
