We want you to know Dear One that destiny, the universe, God, spirit, prana, fate, life force, serendipity, karma, whatever you want to call it, whatever you believe in, is absolutely, positively, without a doubt, not the most powerful force in the universe dictating the course of your life.

You are.

Accept this, believe this to be true Dear One, and you will be accepting one of the most powerful, the most precious, the most empowering gifts in all of creation – the limitless power of choice.

Standing in front of a well-stocked refrigerator will not make you any less hungry Dear One.

Sandwiches do not magically make themselves.

Happiness works in much the same way.

If you want some (or more), you’re going to have to reach out (or in) and help yourself.

The essence of what you think about, what you talk about, what you focus on, and what you give your attention to, is what will come to you Dear One.

This is all that we have to say on the subject.

This is all that you need to know.

There is nothing more helpful, useful, revealing, or insightful, that we can share with you.

It really is just that simple.

You want to learn how to let it go Dear One?

We’ll tell you how it’s done.

You don’t do it by force. And you don’t do it with distractions.

You don’t do it by dismissing your feelings, trying to rationalize them away, or by punishing yourself for having picked them up in the first place either.

You do it by remembering that every thought that you think, word that you speak, action that you take, and belief that you maintain, is attracting more of exactly the same directly to you, every minute, of every hour, every day that you think it, speak it, do it, or believe it.

That’s how.

The energy, action, and effort required to jump a hurdle, cross a barrier, or break down a wall Dear One, is not the same energy, action, and effort required once you are on the other side of it.

Once you make it over, across, or through, remember to stop jumping, pushing, and swinging for a little while, and enjoy the place where you now find yourself.

Once you are on the other side, it is time for you to relax, allow, and go the flow of the new space you have just crossed into.

It is of absolutely no benefit to you Dear One, to keep jumping once you are in the clear.

• You don’t have to wait until you are sick to take time to heal, Dear One.
• You don’t have to wait until you are in trouble to ask for help.
• You don’t have to wait until you are lonely or afraid to invite someone to keep you company.
• You don’t have to wait until you are perfect to be worthy of love.
• You don’t have to wait until the end to decide to begin again.

Create from an angry, stressed out, frustrated, put upon place Dear One, and no matter how hard you work, how hard you try, how good your intentions are, the very best that you are going to be able to do is create more of the same.

You can’t make a blueberry pie out of apples.

Take one step forward at a time Dear One, joyfully, intentionally, mindfully, feel good about where you are going, and you will be traveling faster towards your desired destination then if you ran full steam ahead towards it motivated by frustration, sadness, anger, fear or insecurity.

Mindful choices guided by good feelings are infinitely more powerful than those guided by loss, lack, obligation, fear or desperation.

It is not the amount of space between where you are and where you want to be that determines the length of your journey Dear One.

The length of your journey is determined by the distance that you must travel from where you are, to feeling good about where you want to be.

And how long that takes, is entirely up to you.

Do you want to know the best way to get everything that you want from your relationships Dear One?

Give all that you hope to receive.

You have come forth into this life Dear One, to be a human being, not a human trying, a human struggling or a human judging.So stop trying, struggling and judging so hard, and allow yourself to just be.

• Be yourself. Be authentic. Be honest.
• Be loving.  Be caring. Be compassionate.
• Be inspiring.  Be creative. Be brave.
• Be sad.  Be angry.  Be confused.
• Be imperfect. Be flawed. Be uncertain.
• Be whatever it is that is in your heart to be.
• Be whatever it is that makes you happy, content and peaceful.
• Be right where you are.

Be what you have come forth to be Dear One.

You.
