Scream, if you need to scream, Dear One.

Cry, if you need to cry.

Lie, run, race, compete, prove a point, steal, be petty, be jealous, be mad.

Do, be, say whatever you need to, Dear One.

Just don’t quit today.

Just don’t quit.

^^

If you want to know what freedom feels like, Dear One, if you want to know what it feels like to be free, to fly — you’ve got to be willing to jump.

There is no other way.

Freedom comes to you, belongs to you, is yours, Dear One, when you take ownership of it.

• Own your choices
• Own your time
• Own your fears even

Whatever it is you are feeling today, once and for all, claim it as your own. Not as something someone gave to you. Not as something someone forced up on you. Not as something you inherited. And definitely not as something you were tricked into picking up.

Own it, Dear One. Totally and completely as your own.

Because if you are feeling it, it already exists within you, it’s already a part of you, it’s already yours.   And THAT ownership, Dear One, is not debatable.

And once you own it, accept it, claim it as your own, acknowledge that it belongs to you, then, and only then will you have the power to decide what to do with it, will you be able to decide what will become of it, will you be free to do with it as you please.

And not a moment before.

How can YOU change the world?

Do what makes you happy.

When you are happy, the whole world is better for it, Dear One.

You did not come forth into the cutting edge of reality, Dear One, onto the cutting edge of thought, creation, of all that is to stand still. Did you?

You did not come into being at this time, in this place, to stay put, to play it safe, to experience as little growth, movement, change and expansion as you possibly could. Right?

Just something for you to keep in mind while you are making up your mind about what it is you are going to do with your day.

You are not in this alone, Dear One.

But you, alone, are the only one who can change things.

If you want things to be different, if you want a different life, different circumstances, different relationships, you’re going to have to start choosing differently.

You, and you alone are the only one who can make that happen.

• You are blessed, even when you are struggling
• You are divine, even when you fail
• You are a beautiful, even when your body is tired, your eyes are dark, and your skin is sallow
• You are precious, even when you are poor
• You are loved, even when feel unworthy

The truth is, Dear One, that you are who you are; blessed, divine, beautiful, precious, and loved, and there is absolutely nothing that you or anyone else could ever do that is ever going to change that.

Asking “Why” won’t change anything, Dear One.

But taking (inspired) action will.

Sometimes the best solution to a problem, Dear One, is to simply allow yourself to forget that it exists at all.

Give all of your attention to that which is wanted, to that which is desired, to that which makes you feel good, great, or giddy with delight and let all of the rest fade away.

When you do, you will discover that one of two things will happen:

1. That once you’ve move on from it, once you’ve let it go, that your problem too will let go of you.
2. That all that you need to solve it, that the solution that you have been looking for, will be there waiting for you when you arrive in that better feeling place.

If you want to experience real change in your life, Dear One, change.

Make a different choice, take a different route, try a different approach, eat a different breakfast.

If you don’t know how to do that, if you don’t know what to change to make things better, ask for help.

If you don’t know who to ask, if you don’t know who to turn to, ask us, through prayer, mediation, a walk in the woods, or even email.  Whatever works best for you.

Then once you’ve asked, listen, with your heart, for the answer, knowing that it may not come from the one you asked, but that it most definitely will come.

And know this, Dear One, that no matter the circumstance, if you are ready to choose it, change is always available to you.
