You can choose to believe that you can handle it all Dear One, or you can choose to believe that you can’t.

Whichever choice you make, you’ll be right.

So, what’s it going to be?

You are most powerful as a creator Dear One, when you are enjoying the experience of imagining things just as you would like them to be.

Much more so then when you are fretting about the details of how you are going to try and make it all happen.

Your job as a creator is to imagine, enjoy, choose (act), allow, and imagine some more.

It is the universes job to take care of all the rest.

If you want to do your job well today Dear One, stop worrying about the details and allow yourself to get back to the task of imagining all that you want and enjoying yourself in the process, as quickly as you possibly can.

Remember, you’re on the clock.

If you don’t want it anymore Dear One, if you don’t like it anymore, stop choosing it, (over, and over, and over again).

You don’t need to push it away, shove it out, or try to force it out of sight and out of mind to get rid of it.  In fact, you really don’t need to exert any effort at all.

You simply need to stop choosing it.

Remember that you aren’t just choosing with your actions. You are choosing with your thoughts, with your beliefs, and with the focus of your attention.

We know that there are so many things in this life that you are looking forward to Dear One, that you want to experience, hold-on to, and create more of for yourself, so why give even one more minute of your attention to anything else?

When you doubt yourself Dear One, when you ignore your heart, your instincts, intuitions and hunches,  it is essentially the same as choosing to ignore the directions being given to you by the GPS system in your car.

What you want is your desired destination, and your instincts are the turn-by-turn directions being served up to you by your higher-self to get you there.

As you know very well from experience by now, there are an unlimited number of paths available to you that will get you to where you want to go.  There is no “right” path and there is no “wrong” path.

BUT there are more and less direct paths that you can follow.

Listen to your heart Dear One, follow your instincts, trust your intuition, and act on your hunches and you can proceed confidently knowing  that you are traveling the most direct route possible from where you are to where you want to be.

Your world can be dominated by good feelings Dear One, by pleasure and joy and contentment and balance and love, if only you would allow yourself to experience these things without the belief that you must first pay a high price for them.

There is no posture or practice or mantra or diet or book or teacher or regimen that you must first master in order to be joyful, in order to be happy or peaceful or secure or content or compassionate or forgiving or to live a more conscious life.

The only requirement is that allow yourself to feel good.

And the surest way to do that Dear One is to focus your attention on that which makes you happy/feel good, on that which is possible, on that which is right, on that which you desire, on that which makes you smile, laugh, anticipate the best, on that which you are grateful for.

Yoga and meditation and exercise and a healthy diet, and spiritual practice are all ways that can help you to achieve balance in your mental,  physical and spiritual life Dear One.  And that balance will help you to feel good, to stay healthy, to feel strong and be more confident in yourself, in your body, in your ability to handle any situation, in your capacity for trust.

But they are just a means to an end.

The answer that you are looking for Dear One is simple –  Make choices that make you feel good.

Why should you reach out, open yourself up, be vulnerable, risk rejection, take a chance, cross boundaries, follow your heart, say what you feel, and connect Dear One?

The answer is simple.

Because it feels so good to do so.

Feeling badly, indulging in feelings of guilt, remorse or regret for choosing to take care of yourself Dear One, is like indulging in a hot fudge Sunday as a reward for eating less sugar.

You don’t need our help to get past this one.  What you need is reassurance that it is OK, essential even, for you to make yourself the priority in your own life.

And you’ve got it!

Now the only question that remains is, are you going to grant yourself the permission to believe it?

There is no divine schedule Dear One.

• There is only you and your journey.
• You and your experiences.
• You and your relationships.
• You and your attitude, choices, behaviors, patterns, and beliefs.

You are not late Dear One.  You are not behind schedule.  You do not have to hurry to catch up.  You did not miss your chance.  And you most definitely did not get it wrong.

How much stress, how much pressure, how much disappointment do you think you would eliminate from your life, right this very second, by choosing to believe us, by choosing to believe that what we are telling you is true?

There is only one way to find out for sure!

Being an optimist requires just as much thought, energy, effort, and self control as being a pessimist does Dear One – only it yields you far more promising, pleasing, and positive results.

In every moment, whether you are conscious of it or not, you are constantly choosing between the two.

So, in this moment, we want you to consciously decide, we want you to consciously choose.

Pick one; optimist or pessimist.

Which are you going to choose to be today?

You know its not true Dear One.  You don’t have to face your fears.  You don’t have to muster up the courage to walk right up to them and stare them down in order to move past them.

There’s another way.  You’ve got another choice.

If you are willing, you can simply choose to let them go instead.
