Don’t help because you think that you should Dear One – because you think that someone is watching – because you think it is the right thing to do – because you feel pity, fear, guilt or obligation.

Help because you want to.  Help because it feels good to you to do so.

Remember, what you put out there is what you get back.

• If you put out insincerity – insincerity is what you will get back.
• If you put out resentment – resentment is what you will get back.
• If you put out bitterness – bitterness is what you will get back.

If you don’t mean it Dear One – do yourself a favor, and don’t do it.

However…

•  If you put out hope –
• If you put out generosity –
• If you put out compassion –
• If you put out joy  –
• If you put out love –

Well, you get the idea.

Don’t fake it Dear One.

Choose a different attitude instead, and then help.

If you are constantly feeling like you don’t measure up Dear One, that you are not rich enough, or tall enough, or smart enough or thin enough, etc., we’ve got a very simple solution for you that will help you to get over it in a heartbeat.

Stop measuring.

What if we told you that there was no opposition, Dear One?

What if we told you that there was only you?

What if we told you that you; your thoughts, your actions, your beliefs, were the greatest, and only source of conflict in your life?

Would you respond them any differently, if you knew this to be true?

Everyone has teachers, Dear One. Everyone has guides helping them, supporting them, showing them the way. There are not some of you who get more attention from us and some of you who get less.

The only real difference between those that appear to have more guidance in their life and those who appear to have less, is that some of you are better at looking and listening for, acknowledging, and follow the guidance that is there for you more often than others.

You have A LOT of support, A LOT of love, A LOT of help available to you at all times, Dear One. Look for it every minute of every day, trust that it is there, and you will find it.  Look for it only at your place of worship and you will only find it there.  Look for it only at night on the pages of your notebook, or on  your canvas, or on a mountain top, and that is the only place you will find it, not because it does not exist anywhere else, but because that is only place that you will allow yourself to see it, hear it, feel it.

Look for us more often, Dear One, if you want more of us in your life, and we can assure you that you will find us.

We are always right here, all the time, without exception, for you all.

We are always so sorry to see you struggling, Dear One. We are always so sorry to see you in pain.

But what we are not sorry for is the strength that you are building, and the perspective that you are gaining as a result.

Would you want to discourage someone from working out so that they could avoid the discomfort that may come with building muscle?

If you did that Dear One, if you were to avoid all movement, all challenges, all experiences that could result in pain, both your body and your life would be greatly lacking in definition.

As you know very well from experience Dear One, there are an unlimited number of paths that you can follow that will get you from here to there.

There is no one single “right” path that you must take to get where you are trying to go.

But there are more and less direct paths that you can follow to get you there.

Would you like to know how to get yourself on the most direct path there is?

Listen to your heart, follow your instincts, trust your intuition, act on your hunches and move forward with confidence, enthusiasm, and excitement knowing that you will find all that you need to succeed along the way.

Only an open heart can heal, Dear One.

You want to know how to turn things around, Dear One?

Well the truth is that you don’t actually need to.  You can keep right on heading in the direction that you are heading and still end up exactly where you want to be.

How?

While your experience of creation may feel like a linear one to you, we can assure you that it most certainly is not.

By changing your perspective, by changing what you give your attention to, you will change the road before you, you will change what lies ahead.

Focus on the darkness and the decay, and your path will grow darker.  Focus on the light, the beauty, the growth that you see, even if it is just the smallest little bud, and your path will begin to grow brighter and more full of life right before your eyes.

You don’t need to exert the (potentially considerable) effort that it would take to fight the momentum of what is and turn yourself around.  Instead save that energy use it to focus on the path ahead, and trust that when your stay on the lookout for that which is wanted, over that which is not, that it will always, always, always lead you in the direction of your gaze.

1. Did fear, obligation, insecurity, or a belief in limited resources motivate any of your decisions yesterday, Dear One?

2. Would your choices have been different if you allowed yourself to be motivated by trust, self-love, joy, and a belief that you had access to an unlimited source of abundance instead?

3. What beliefs are you going to allow to motivate your choices today?

Whatever your priorities are Dear One, regardless of how long the list may already be, we would like to ask you to please add one more to it; to make enjoying the journey, enjoying the path, one of them.

Prioritize it just as high, or even higher than whatever it is you already have at the top of your list.

That way, win or lose, succeed or fail, you always come out on top.
