What do you want to know about your soul’s agenda?
On: Why should you forgive?
Forgive them for their mistakes Dear One, their shortcomings, their faults, their ignorance, and their impatience.
Forgive their actions when they react out of fear, their words when they respond from pain, their behaviors when they get defensive, and their callousness when they are cruel.
They are not perfect. They are deeply flawed. They are hurting, healing, learning, and coping the best way that they know how. Believe it or not, they are actually doing the very best that they believe that they are capable of.
They are imperfect Dear One – just like you.
Forgive them without expectation, without condition, without question and without hesitation.
Why?
Because doing so is one of the most powerful healing gifts that you can give to yourself.
On: Making a decision
Making a decision Dear One, does not need to be such an amazingly complicated, confusing, stress inducing, emotionally painful experience, don’t you know.
The reason that it can feel that way, almost traumatizing at times, is that very often, before any action is even taken, you imagine the end result of every possible future outcome based on the decision that you are about to make, and you mourn the loss of every possible outcome that might never come to pass. And that could drive anyone mad.
The truth is Dear One, that you have absolutely no way of knowing what tomorrow will bring, or the day after that, or the day after that. And you have absolutely no way of knowing for sure what opportunities will or will not become available to you as a result of the choices that you do or do not make today. So don’t waste your time stressing about it, trying to figure it out. It won’t help.
But, what if, as an alternative to making yourself crazy when it comes time to making up your mind, you decided to make yourself happy instead?
Why? Because any decision that you make joyfully, from a good feeling place, regardless of how impetuous or how well thought out it may be, will always bring you closer to the joy that you are seeking than any made from a place of tension, stress, confusion, turmoil or emotional distress.
On: Strengthening your heart
You don’t strengthen your heart the same way that you strengthen your biceps Dear One.
You don’t work it harder to make it stronger.
Reps of repetitive, challenging, difficult, painful emotions are not going to create the desired effect.
The heart thrives on love Dear One, on compassionate, peaceful, trusting, joyful, loving energy.
If you want to get stronger, if you want to strengthen your heart, don’t put your energy into seeking out new ways that will allow you to endure difficult situations, people, emotions and circumstances for longer periods of time, seek out new ways that will help you to let go of them instead.
On: Joy spotting
There are a lot of opportunities for you to experience joy waiting for you in the day ahead, Dear One.
If you are looking for them, if you decide right now to keep your eyes peeled for them, they will be impossible to miss.
On: Taking personal responsibility
You and you alone are responsible for your experience on this journey, Dear One.
- You are responsible for your feelings.
- You are responsible for your actions.
- You are responsible for your reactions.
- You are responsible for your beliefs.
- You are responsible for your words.
Do you get it?
If we were you, if we were the ones standing in your shoes in this physical reality, we would spend as little time as we possibly could indulging in opportunities that inspired us to feel inferior, offended, disappointed, discouraged, let down, powerless, angry, or unworthy, and instead spend our time indulging in opportunities that encouraged us to feel powerful, worthy, loved, motivated, optimistic, connected, compassionate, generous, joyful, happy, centered, and at ease, as often as we possibly could.
But that’s just us.
What are you going to choose to do?
On: Taking it
What are you waiting for Dear One?
What are you saving it for?
What are you saving you for?
Why hold back?
Why not give it everything you’ve got?
- Here
- Now
- Today
Yes, there is a chance that things might not work out the way that you want them to.
But there is also a chance that they might work out even better than that, better than anything you ever could have ever possibly imagined for yourself.
You’ll never know if you never try.
Yes, it’s a risk Dear One.
But one that we really think you should take.
So, will you take it?
On: Doing your part
The world has more peace in it Dear One, when you are peaceful.
It has more compassion when you are compassionate, more love when you are loving, more tolerance when you are tolerant, more hatred when you hate, and more judgment when you judge.
What do you think the world needs more of today Dear One?
Are you willing to do your part to make that happen?
On: How regret serves you
Regret is an easy emotion to latch on to and embrace Dear One. Costly, but easy.
It serves to keep you rooted, in the past, attached to a moment that has come and gone.
It maintains the familiar, regardless of how uncomfortable, painful or damaging it may be.
But Forgiveness is hard. Forgiveness takes courage because it moves you beyond where you are, beyond what is known to you, beyond what is familiar to you.
Forgiveness releases – allows – heals – requires you to trust, love, and let go. It serves to bring you back into the present and frees you from emotions, thoughts, and connections that are keeping you tethered to the past, be it 5 years ago, 5 days ago or 5 minutes ago.
Regret holds on, binds you, and keeps you cemented in one place.
Forgiveness releases, frees you, and allows you to move ahead.
So now you know.
On: The secret to letting go, and holding on
Let it go, focus your attention elsewhere, talk about something else, allow your thoughts to move on, and it will move on from you Dear One.
Hold on to it, remain focused on it, keep talking about it, continue thinking about it, and it will remain with you.
It’s that simple.
On: A great service
You want perform a great service for the world today, Dear One?
Take really, really, really, good care of yourself.
