It is so very easy to get lost Dear One, or to feel disconnected from your source of well-being.

And it is so very easy to become frustrated by this feeling of loss and disconnection.

But you should know that it is also so very easy to reconnect again.

There is an equal amount of effort required to lose a feeling of connection as is required to gain one.

Try not to get too caught up, discouraged, or intimidated by the effort that you think it will take to get back on track –  as little effort is required when you choose to simply reconnect in the present moment.

How little?

As much as it takes for you to change your mind.

Do yourself a favor Dear One, and stop trying to do the right thing all the time.

Trust us.  The right thing is not what you want to be doing anyway.

Figuring out what is “right” requires you to be judgmental.  It requires you to look at a person, an event, a situation, and judge it as right or wrong, instead of just accepting it for what it is.

Judgment only serves to disconnect, to cut you off, to separate you from your greatest source of strength, inspiration, and joy — your connection to all that is.

So today, instead of trying to do the right thing Dear One, why not do better than that for yourself, and do the loving thing, the compassionate thing, the honorable thing, the generous thing, the kind thing, or the joyful thing instead?

Why trouble yourself so much with should-haves, would-haves and could-haves Dear One, when you know very well that in the present moment, anything is possible?

But just in case you had forgotten, it would be our great pleasure to remind you that what you didn’t do then, is and always will be of so much less significance than what you are going to do now.

The idea is not to work yourself to the point of exhaustion Dear One.

The idea is to work yourself to the point of exhilaration.

If you work and work and work and at the end of the day, feel worse than you did than at the beginning, you may want to spend a little time reevaluating what it is that you are really working for, what it is you are really working to create for yourself.

We can understand your desire to want to protect yourself Dear One, to want to keep yourself safe from harm, to want to do all that you can to avoid injuring yourself, both physically and emotionally, and to want to keep others from doing the same.  And you should know that we want that for you too.

You should also know that nothing makes you more vulnerable then cutting yourself off from your source, than shutting down your heart, ignoring your intuition and holding yourself back because you are afraid.

The more you trust Dear One, the more you open up, the more you allow yourself to love, connect, and move forward with an open heart, the safer you will be!

Why struggle, when you can trust Dear One?

Why pretend when you can be yourself?

Why fight when you can accomplish so much more by allowing?

Why be hard on yourself, when you can choose to be loving, caring, nurturing, and supportive of yourself instead?

You can’t stop all hurts from ever reaching you Dear One, but you can stop making them worse for yourself when they do.

Don’t wait until everything else is under control Dear One, before you start taking better care of yourself, before you start making yourself a priority, before you start spending your time doing more of what you love.

Those people over there, the ones you are envious of, the happy ones, the rested ones, the ones that are feeling good, enjoying themselves, having a great time doing all of the things that they love to do…. they didn’t wait.

And that, Dear One, is the only difference between them and you.

With power comes great responsibility, Dear One.

But you should know that the opposite is also true.

With responsibility comes great power.

The more you take responsibility for your life—your choices, thoughts, words, actions and reactions—and accept that you are the one responsible for creating, attracting, and allowing every experience that you have, the more powerful you will be.

If you don’t like something the way that it is Dear One, don’t do anything.

That’s right. You heard us correctly.

Don’t try to change it. Don’t try to fix it. Don’t try to fight it, repair it or make it better.

Don’t exert your very valuable energy trying to twist it, turn it, mold it, or fold it into something else, into something new, into something that you want it to be.

Let it be Dear One, just as it is.   Let that which you don’t want be exactly as it is.

Decide to let it go and instead make the choice to start again with a clean slate, with a new mindset.  Decide to exert your energy, your time, your heart and your soul into creating that which you do want instead of changing that which you do not.

Trust us. It will be a much more effective, efficient and pleasurable use of your time.

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

Don’t you?
