We want to make this as simple for you as we possibly can, Dear One.

Forgiveness has absolutely, positively, nothing what so ever to do with them.

It is simply the act of releasing your connection to something that no longer serves you,  releasing your bond with something that you no longer want to remain connected to.

It is letting go of the rope that is dragging you, removing your hand from the hot stove that is burning you, abandoning the sinking ship.

Everyone is looking for/striving for/seeking beauty Dear One – Every single one of you, with no exception. 

The only problem is that more often than not, so many of you find yourself coming up short, frustrated with your search, not finding what you are looking for – left with the impression that beauty is rare or elusive.  Why?  Because many of you have no idea what beauty really is – so you look in all the wrong places, chase down all the wrong things trying to find it or create it.

Beauty is a feeling, an emotion, an energy.  It is the essence of who you are.  It is a state of openness, a state of trust and allowing, acceptance of the universe, of what is.  It is not flat abs and a shiny full head of hair.  It is not pouty lips, smooth tight skin or perfectly manicured nails .  Those things are all nothing more than limited physical attributes of the body.  True beauty is limitless.

To say that beauty is measured by how one looks – is like saying that intelligence is measured by how one smells.

Your eyes are not the determinate of beauty Dear One, your heart is.

True beauty is not about how you look – it is about how you see.

Choose to see beauty in everything around you Dear One and  you will.  It is there. It is built into everything.   As soon as you start looking for it, with your heart, you will find it and be in awe of its abundance.

May we suggest that you start with you.

If letting go is a struggle for you Dear One, if you are finding it difficult or nearly impossible to let go of something that you know is no longer serving you, don’t do it.

Don’t let it go.

Struggling, forcing, or pushing yourself to do something that you are not ready to do, or give up something that you are not ready to give up, will never work, no matter how hard you try.

Instead, make a decision to focus your attention elsewhere, on something that you believe will serve you well, on something that is wanted, welcomed, and desired.

If you can’t let go Dear One, don’t.

Simply make the decision to allow something else to become more important.

The end result will be the same.

We know that you are tough, Dear One. We know that you are strong, and clever, and resourceful.  We know that you are extremely capable of coping with, adapting to, learning to live with, and working around obstacles, difficulties, and pain.

But the truth is that we don’t want you to be.

What we want Dear One, is that when you feel that splinter go in, when you feel that first little prick of pain, when that alarm sounds and you experience those first pangs of concern, distress, discomfort, hurting, or dis-ease, that you give your coping skills a rest for a change.

We don’t want to see you reach for your usual box of Band-Aids and show us, and the rest of the world, just how well you can adapt to it, cope with it, rationalize it, and keep on going.  What we want Dear One, is to see you reach for the tweezers instead.

We don’t want you getting better, and becoming more practiced, at learning to live with the little pricks in your life.  We want you getting better at removing them, while they are still small, before they have a chance to take root, evolve, spread, and grow and into bigger ones.

Toughing it out, pushing through, trying harder, sacrificing more, working smarter, powering on, or fighting the good fight will never be a more efficient or effective approach for helping you to get there, for helping you to achieve your goals, Dear One, as getting happy will.

Know this Dear One, with absolute certainty — whatever it is, whatever is going on, whatever you are struggling with, whatever you have to fix, manage, resolve, clean up, heal, or eliminate — there IS a gentle solution to it available to you at all times.

So now that you know this, now that you no longer have to wonder, relax, take a deep breath, trust, open your mind and your heart, and allow yourself to see it.

This is it, Dear One.

This is evolution.

This is what it looks like. This is what it feels like. This is what it sounds, tastes, and smells like. This is the pace that it happens at and this is how long it takes.

You are not only living it, right now. You are creating it, perpetuating it, determining its course. And you are doing so with every thought that you think, with every action that you take, and with every word that you speak.

You can choose to strengthen/evolve your sense of fear Dear One, or you can practice, prioritize, and strengthen your ability to trust.   You can choose to evolve your avoidance skills, and get really, really good at that, or you can choose to evolve your creation skills, and follow that path instead. And you should know that individual and group behaviors, skills, innovations, and yes even biology, will all be impacted as a result.

Do you understand Dear One? Do you see how it is totally and completely up to you?

God, light, prana, spirit, consciousness, whatever you choose to call it, is not determining your path, your progress, the evolution of you soul, of your world, of your physical bodies Dear One, you are.

And the only real question that remains, that is left for humanity to answer on this subject is this; Are you personally going to choose to evolve, to contribute to the evolution of your world consciously or unconsciously?

• Don’t say you can’t before you try
• Don’t say they won’t before you ask
• Don’t say it’s impossible just because no one else has ever done it before
• Don’t give up before you give it all you’ve got

These are all just different ways for you to exercise lazy Dear One.

And we don’t think that being lazy is a good enough reason for you to not have everything that you want.

Do you?

They are going see in you Dear One, what they want to see in you, what they are ready to see in you, what they are looking for, what they are ready for, and nothing more.

And there is not a whole lot that you can do about that.

Isn’t that wonderful!

Now that you know that you don’t have to worry so much about trying to make a good first impression, about trying to please them, or impress them, or win them over, you can just be you, and instead put all of your energy into doing what you do best, into doing what brings you the greatest amount of joy,  into creating, sharing, and enjoying your life the way that you want to.

Take a few minutes and write down 5 things that you are grateful for, Dear One.

Why?

Because gratitude is a powerful emotion and we want you to enjoy all of the benefits that it will bring to your day today.
