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 can choose to say goodbye Dear One, to all of the people, places, ideas, and beliefs in your life that no longer serve you, and mean it, and make room for something new, or you can decide to make a different choice.

But either way, in every moment, you must choose, you are choosing, to say goodbye or to hold on.

In this moment, what’s it going to be?  What are you going to choose to do with whatever it is you are facing right now?

Let it go or hold on to it?

Avoidance or Creation.

Which path are you going to choose to take today Dear One?

Are you going to make this day about doing your best to avoid that which you do not want to see, hear, feel, or experience, or about creating that which you do?

Choose wisely because these two paths extend out in very different directions from one another, and will most definitely not lead you to the same place.

Decide right now Dear One, before you do anything else, how you are going to approach this day.

Are you going to react to it, and all of the people, circumstances and events in it, or are you going to intentionally create it? Are you going to approach it with confidence or with fear?  With trust or with doubt? With excitement or with dread?  With self-pity or with gratitude? With an open heart or a closed one? With a belief in limitations or in endless possibilities?

Think carefully about your answer Dear One, choose it very consciously, because whatever you decide right now, is going to impact every other decision that you make today, and every single experience that you have as a result.

[NOTE: This repeat is for me today. A much needed reminder.]

Remaining fearful Dear One, when you are in uncertain or unfamiliar circumstances is like turning off the faucet when you are most in need of a drink.

Fear cuts you off from your source of well-being, from the very support, guidance and energy that you are looking for/that you are in need of, just when you need it the most.

Trust – in a universe that exists to support you, that is dominated by well-being, opens you up and connects you to your source– connects you to the unlimited support, guidance, energy and wisdom you have forgotten that exists within you.  Trust is the key that gives you access to everything that you need to deal with any situation, with grace, confidence, strength, compassion and love.

Fear cuts you off, and holds you in darkness. Trust opens you up and lets in the light.

The more you trust, the more you are opening the faucet, the less you will have to be fearful of.

Sometimes it takes witnessing someone else’s success to gain clarity on your own desires Dear One.

Condemning others for getting there first will never serve you.  Jealousy or envy won’t ever help to bring you closer to that which you are wanting.

But an open mind will – Gratitude will – Enthusiasm will – Joyous anticipation will – Positive action will.

Let the lives and successes of others inspire you, motivate you, show you what’s possible.  Be grateful to those who have gotten there first.  Express gratitude towards them for paving the path and showing you the way.

Gratitude and joyous anticipation will help you reach your goals at a much faster rate than frustration and jealousy will Dear One, and they make for much more pleasurable travel companions.

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.

Being patient and waiting are two very different things Dear One.

Patience is an act of allowing, of knowing, of creating, of quiet anticipation.  It is fluid, changing, and constantly in motion.  It is a powerful, empowering, and confident choice that requires your active, conscious participation throughout.

Waiting is a passive act.  It is stagnant.  It lacks action, energy, movement, and active participation.   It can be frustrating, stressful, and emotionally unpredictable.  It is an inert, submissive, and unempowered choice that does not require much of you once the decision to wait has been made.

So when you are in a spot Dear One, where you think that what happens next is totally and completely out of your hands, think again.

You’ve still got one more choice to make.

And a pretty important one at that.

They are not the reason you are exhausted Dear One.

You are.  You are exhausting yourself by trying to please them, by choosing to prioritize them and their needs above your own.

They are not the ones to blame here.  You are doing this all by yourself.

And you can choose to stop doing it anytime that you would like.

So you want to know how to do it all Dear One?

One bright, beautiful, deliberate, trusting, bold, loving, confident, compassionate, grateful, joyful step at a time.

There truly is no other way.
