Know this, Dear One; there is no greater risk that you can take than to ignore the call of your heart.

Regardless of how scared you are, Dear One, how out of control, lost or chaotic you feel, how far off course you think you have traveled, you are and will always only ever be one choice, one breath, one thought away from your center.

Always.

Guidance, source, spirit, light, is always with you, Dear One, it is always available to you.

You are a part of it and it is a part of you.  It is within and around you at all times.  You are swimming in it.  You came from it and you will return to it.

You can choose not to acknowledge it.  You can choose to resist it.  You can choose to tell stories that support an illusion of disconnection from it.

But you can never be without it.

So if you are looking for it, Dear One, just know that you never have to look very far.

• You are so much stronger than you think you are
• You shine so much brighter than you think you do
• Your influence travels so much farther than you think it does
• Your love is far more healing than you know
• Your thoughts, actions and beliefs are so much more powerful, significant, and transformative then you believe them to be

Your impact on the world is great, Dear One, each and every day

So, what’s the big deal then?

You are.

You are a profoundly powerful, divine spiritual being, Dear One.

And you are surrounded each and every day by profoundly powerful, divine spiritual beings.

Some of them may know it. Some of them may be aware of their divinity, and some of them may not. But their level of awareness does not change who or what they are. The only thing that knowing changes is their  personal experience of that truth.

But you can know it, Dear One. You can choose to see and trust and acknowledge their divinity, even if they can’t.

And while knowing may not have any impact on them, Dear One, on their experience of you, you can be sure that knowing will have a deep and profound impact on your experience of them. And truth be told, that is all we are really concerned with at this time — teaching you, helping you, guiding you towards improving your experience of the world around you and all of the people in it.

You are living a life surrounded by spirit, Dear One, seeped in the divine.

All you need to do to begin to benefit from this reality, is to acknowledge it.

A piece of you is here, Dear One, and a piece of you is over there.  A piece of you is at your desk.  A piece of you is worrying about a friend.  A piece of you is planning dinner.  A piece of you is getting ready for what’s next, what if, and what could be. And a piece of you is thinking about all of the things that you need to do, want to do, have done but don’t believe that you have done well enough, and so on.

We get it.  You know how to do multiple things at once (or at least try to).  It is a skill that you have been practicing for most of your life with varying degrees of success.

But what if today you tried something new, Dear One?

What if today, instead, you practiced doing only one thing a time?

It is the fastest way we can think of that will help you to pull yourself right back together again.

There is no rule anywhere, Dear One, that says that you have to feel badly when dealing with a bad situation.

Yes, it’s true that you can’t always choose how you feel.

But it is also true that you can always choose what you think.

And you can choose to think a different thought, a better feeling thought, anytime that you would like.

Some may think that doing so is nothing more than an exercise in denying what is.

But we would call it, getting yourself into a better feeling place so that you can more effectively deal with what is.

We challenge you to try and find something wrong with that.

Your life is meant to be a journey, Dear One; a wonderful, exciting, enlightening, inspiring, challenging, mind blowing, creative, collaborative journey.

It’s not a job.

So quit treating it like one.

Let go and let yourself enjoy the day.

This is not a test, Dear One.  And it is not some puzzle to figure out either.  Challenges are not trials.

This is your life.  YOUR life, to do with as you please.

There truly are no have to’s. There are only choices, and they are all yours to make.

At long last, here is the answer that you have been looking for, Dear One.

How to make them all happy, in two easy steps:

STEP 1
Make yourself happy, do that which brings you happiness, because you can’t share something with someone else that you don’t first possess yourself.

STEP 2
Teach them by example what it looks like to take responsibility for creating your own happiness, because in the end, if they really want to be happy, they are going to have to learn how to choose it for themselves.
