We can see that you have a strong desire to live a more authentic life,  Dear One, and yet… you don’t.

You allow your fear of rejection, being alone, being wrong, being made fun of, disappointing, being less than perfect, or failing, stop you from trying, stop you from speaking up, stop you from being the real you.

Well, its time to put to an end to that, Dear One.

It’s time for you to join the ranks of the fallible.

• It’s time for you to allow yourself to join those who make mistakes, who fall down, who fail, who don’t always do the right thing at the right time, who sometimes get hurt, and who sometimes, despite their best efforts, hurt others.
• It’s time for you to allow yourself to join those who knows that if they fall, they can get back up, that if they fail, they can try again, that if they get hurt, they will heal.
• It’s time for you to allow yourself to join those that know that playing it safe, that not trying, that not speaking up, that not being your authentic self, is and will always be a far more agonizing, frustrating, painful, disappointing and damaging experience in the long run, then not trying ever will be.

You know that you have reached your edge Dear One, when the place that you are standing feels new, foreign, or unfamiliar to you (and maybe even just a little bit scary).

When you get there, when you reach that place, that edge, there are a number of choices available to you.  You can…..

• Stop and turn around
• Rest yourself comfortably upon it
• Slowly inch yourself over it
• Confidently walk through it
• Break it down with thunderous applause

There is no right answer, only a choice to be made.  And the choice of course, is entirely yours.

But we are here to tell you that thunderous applause is a whole lot more fun then advancing with quite confidence – Although both are preferential to standing still or moving backwards.

Do it your way Dear One, not anyone else’s.

Don’t look around to others for answers or for acceptable protocols or codes of behavior for how you should proceed.  Because the truth is that you are never going to find any that will ever serve you better than the ones that you create for yourself.

Pay attention Dear One.

Look. Listen. Feel. Engage. Connect.

Because amazing things are happening all around you, all the time.

And if you are not seeing them, you can be sure that you are not paying close enough attention.

Matters of the heart Dear One always seem to be much more complicated then they actually are.

But you see, love is love.  It is what it is.  Wonderful, powerful, intoxicating, healing, transformative, transcendent, inspiring, fun.  No matter how you slice it, dice it or serve it up  – love is just that, love.   And there is nothing complicated about it.

Love only becomes complicated Dear one, when you begin to put dependencies on it and assign requirements to it – when you decide that it exists only in conjunction with a specific set of circumstances, behaviors, actions, words, or deeds.   THAT is where the complication rests Dear One –  not with love.

The truth is that love has no dependencies and it is everywhere.  You are swimming in it in fact.   And all you need to do to experience it, is allow yourself to open up to it –  allow it to flow to you, through you and from you.   And the way many of you learn how to do that, to open up to the experience of love, is through relationships with people that inspire you to fall, and through that inspiration you learn to let go, open up,  and let it flow.

But remember Dear One, that love is not sex.  Love is not marriage.  Love is not a family.  Love is not a promise, a commitment, a duty, an obligation or a responsibility.

We want to help you see that any complications that you think you are experiencing as a result of love – are actually a part of your perceived personal reality only,  and are not in fact a reality of love.

Grant yourself a great gift today Dear one and let go of all of the things, rules, dependencies that you have put in place as a condition of love and give yourself permission to simply allow it, experience it, enjoy it, be inspired by it, transformed by it, healed by it.  Swim in it Dear One,  unfettered, undefined, uncomplicated, love.

Life, can be complicated Dear One, but love never is.

Enjoy it.

• Do you like hiking, gardening, and being outdoors?
• Do you like movies, theatre, and literature?
• Does your life have value, meaning and significance?
• Are you smart enough, strong enough, clever enough, and brave enough?
• Are you special?  Are you worthy? Do you matter?

What do all of these questions have in common, Dear One?

The answers that you give to them are the only answers that matter.

You are a vibrational being Dear One, and as such, you are quite literally connected to everything and everyone around you.

Everything that you do, think, feel, say, act out, choose, create, or destroy, has an impact on your world and everything in it, has an impact on your body and every cell in it.

It all counts Dear One.

So the question to ask yourself today is not “Do I want to try and make an impact on the world around me?”.

The question to ask is “What kind of impact do I want to make”.

The time for pretending to be weak, timid, incapable, powerless, unworthy or anything less than you really are, is long over Dear One.

If your goal is to prolong your suffering, Dear One, to make it worse, add to it, to expand upon it, and invite as many people as you possibly can to join you in it, then by all means keep talking about it, thinking about it, and focusing as much energy as you possibly can on it.

But, if your goal is to feel better, to let it go, distance yourself from it, and to move on to something better, then you’re going to have to start talking about, thinking about, and focusing on something better.

Rise and shine, Dear One.

There is no need for you to be afraid. There is no need for you to be fearful or trepidatious of the day ahead.

We are here with you and we are going to do this with you, we are going to walk this path with you, we are going to take this journey together.

We will be with you today, as we are with you every day.

So as you rise Dear One, keep us close to your heart, know that you are not alone, know that you are loved, supported, and being guided, know that you have great wisdom and unlimited creative power at your disposal.

And knowing all this, with great confidence, allow yourself to shine.

Try and fail Dear One, and you will still be better off than if you had never tried at all.
