If you are looking for simple directions Dear One, that will get you from where you are to where you want to be, here they are:

• Look up more than you look down
• Look ahead more than you look back
• Look more often in the direction of where you want to be headed, and less towards where you don’t.
• Follow your heart, trust your intuition and let your smile lead you.

And most importantly, try as best you can to allow yourself to enjoy the trip.

Now, get moving.

You are so much stronger, so much wiser, so much more capable than you believe that you are Dear One.

But don’t take our word for it.

Make today the day that you discover it for yourself.

The best thing that you can do for yourself right this minute, Dear One, is to take a deep breath, clear your mind, make a conscious connection with your heart, and trust what it is telling you.

• You are never going to be able to please everyone Dear One.
• You are never going to be able to get it all done.
• You are never going to be able to live your life without making mistakes, experiencing heartbreak, or suffering from loss.

These things just can’t be done, not by you or by anyone else.

But why would you want it any other way?

You learn valuable lessons from your mistakes, you grow stronger from your heartbreaks, and you are able to know and understand love in a much deeper and more intimate way through loss.

All of these so called “failures” contribute to your evolution Dear One, contribute to your humanity, contribute to the experience and depth of your life.

Why would you ever want to wish them away?

Today we want you to count your blessings Dear One.

Why?

Because when you are counting your blessings you are not counting your challenges, your struggles, your heartaches, your disappointments, your fears, your pains, your mistakes, or your losses.

That’s why.

We understand that identifying your wants, desires and preferences and attracting/allowing them into your experience does not always feel like an easy task Dear One.

You want things for yourself – for your family – for your friends – for strangers – for humanity – the list goes on.  Maintaining an awareness of all the things that are not in your life can be exhausting.

So today, we would like you to give yourself a break and take a day off from wanting.

We would like you to instead, spend your day focused on giving.

Ask yourself what you can give to every situation you encounter today.  What can you give to every person that crosses your path? What can you give to every interaction?

In every situation, look for what you can give, and give it.  Plain and simple.  Nothing more.

See where the path of the day takes you as a result.

You just may be surprised where you end up.

Life is showing you all of the time, every minute of every day, an option for happiness, Dear One.

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.

Don’t try to make your life bigger and better Dear One.

Trust, let go, connect, find any excuse that you can to feel good, and allow it to expand instead.

Doing it this way requires far less effort and will yield you far better results.

While you are making progress along your path Dear One, making your way along your journey, which do you think is more important? The answers that you find or the questions that you ask along the way?

Have you ever noticed that your best, most impactful, most significant and meaningful moments, the ones that have influenced and taught you the most, were not had as a result of finding an answer?

All of those moments and experiences were actually found in your pursuit of an answer to a question.

Does that make sense?

Take a minute and ask yourself, what is the question that you have asked yourself that you are currently in pursuit of an answer to?

If you don’t know, take some time and think about it.  Figure it out.  Because once you do, it is going to greatly impact your perspective of the path that you are now currently on.

What we are trying to tell you Dear One, what we are trying to say is that you don’t need to put your time, energy, and attention into searching out better answers to help you make sense of your life.

What you want to do is to shift your focus and your attention away from a pursuit of answers, and begin to allow life, experience, the world and people around you to motivate you, to teach you, to inspire you to ask better questions.
