Unlike what many of you may believe, jealousy Dear One, has very little to do with lack, or wanting, or shortage, or envy, or greed, or want, and everything to do with powerlessness, with believing yourself to be powerless, not in control, a victim of life, and of your circumstances.

Jealousy, Dear One, is something that only happens, that only can happen, when you truly believe that you are not the creator of your world.

People that are aware, that know what they are truly capable of, people that take full and total responsibility for their lives, that believe that they are the creators of their lives, that believe that they are responsible for everything that they have, and everything that they don’t have, and everything that does and does not happen to them, really have no need or use for jealousy.

Make sense?

Do you want to know what’s  coming next Dear One?  Do you want to know what is headed your way right now?

The short answer is: It depends

• When you create peacefully, when you think, speak, act, and feel at peace, you are creating peace, you are attracting peacefulness to you, you are in the process of manifesting peaceful people, events, and circumstances into your life.

• When you create from a place of stress, from a place of agitation, desperation, or hopelessness, from a place of fear, lack, or greed, with a lack of compassion, empathy, or forgiveness, you are engaging in the process of manifesting into your life people, events, and circumstances that will bring you more of the same.

So if you want to know what is coming next Dear One, if you want to know what is headed your way right now, start paying attention to how you are feeling, what you are thinking, what you are saying, how you are behaving, and the attitude with which you are doing it all, and it won’t take long for you to figure it out.

Only an open heart can heal, Dear One.

You can choose to believe anything that you want, Dear One.

Unlike the color of your eyes, the size of your feet, or the distance from the tip of your nose to the top of your head, your beliefs are not assigned to you at birth, determined for you by genetics, or handed down to you by some external force in the universe.

(Although we know that sometimes it can feel that way)

They are a very personal choice that you make each and every day.

And if yours are causing you to feel anything other than strong, empowered, connected, worthy, and good about yourself more often than not, please remember that it is well within your power to change them anytime you would like.

No one has it all figured out, Dear one.

No one.

Not even us.

So let yourself off the hook today and stop trying so hard to be the one to do it.

Struggling against what is, working harder, suffering through, will never serve you in a greater capacity towards reaching your goals then getting happy will Dear One.

One small action taken in joy is infinitely more powerful than 100 taken in anger, frustration, fear, resentment, sadness or uncertainty.

Get happy and then get to work – not the other way around, if you can help it.

We assure you that the time spent on yourself first will be well worth the effort.

As soon as you stop feeding it Dear One, with your thoughts, with your words, with your actions, and with your beliefs, it will cease to grow.

Keep it up long enough, and it will disappear all together.

Your life can be as big or as small as you want it to be Dear One.  You decide which with every choice that you make.

You are smart.  You have good instincts.  Trust them.

There is a big difference between prudence and fear – between caution and fear.  You know what the difference is.

Only you can decide which you are going to let guide you and influence you most along your journey.

In those moments when you are hesitant and unsure of what to do next, of what is holding you back, ask yourself; is it prudence or is it fear?

You are the only one who can know for sure.

Big or small, Dear One.  It’s up to you to decide.

Discipline is a mindset Dear One, an attitude, an approach, a guide, a commitment.

It is not a contract, a commandment, an order, a doctrine, or a law that must be followed.

Discipline is flexible, malleable, adaptable, and strong.

It is not hard, rigid, tough, and unforgiving.

Discipline is the boat on the water Dear One, not the rope tethering you to the dock.

It is the compass pointing your way, not the points plotted out on a map

It is the sail, and not the anchor.

Practicing discipline should strengthen you, empower you, guide you, help you to feel stronger, freer, more connected and in-synch with the world around you. Not frustrate you, weaken you, and leave you feeling depleted and restricted.

If what you are practicing is not not serving you in all of these positive ways Dear One, there is a very good chance that what you are practicing is not discipline at all, but that you are just being hard on yourself, and that is not the same thing.

We think that it’s time you started holding yourself more accountable for your actions Dear One.

Celebrate your victories.  Acknowledge your accomplishments.  Praise your successes.  Honor your abilities.  Each and every one of them, big and small, everyday.

When you don’t, when you dismiss them, belittle them, or simply gloss right over them and immediately shift your attention instead to that which remains undone, to that which you have not yet achieved, not yet completed, or not yet mastered, you are doing yourself a great disservice.  Not only are you cheating yourself out of a wonderful experience, but you are tossing aside a potentially life changing moment.

Stop doing that.

One good feeling is all it takes to turn anything around.

Celebrate, acknowledge, praise and honor your accomplishments today Dear One.  It is the surest thing that you can do for yourself to guarantee that there will be more of them tomorrow.
