Start by asking yourself this first Dear One:

Do you really need help, or do you simply need to remember just how strong, capable, resilient, and powerful you are?

The reason we are asking is to help you figure out if this is going to be an outside job or an inside job.

It will be much easier for you to find what you are looking for if you know where it is that you need to start looking for it.

When you see they are hurting, when you see they are struggling, when you see they are lost, confused or in pain and want to help, but don’t know how — Love them Dear One.

There is no more useful thing that you can do.

We know that sometimes love does not seem like enough, but trust us, it is.

Love heals. Love inspires. Love transforms.  Love can do a great many things.

• Don’t pity them
• Don’t fear for them
• Don’t be sad for them
• Don’t join them in their grief

See them as well.  See them as whole.  See them as prosperous.  See them as confident.  See them healed.  See them as the person that they want to be.  Hold an image of them in your mind and in your heart of them that they are not yet able to hold for themselves.

You can’t give your attention to their pain, to their struggle, to their problem and help to be a part of the solution Dear One.

If you really want to help, if you really want to make a difference, just keep loving them.

It truly is the best and most useful thing that you can do, for them and for you.

Clinging to fear when you are in uncertain or unfamiliar circumstances Dear One, will serve you in much the same way that turning off the faucet will when you are most in need of a drink.

Fear cuts you off, from your source, from well-being, from the support, guidance, energy and wisdom that you need, just when you need it the most.

Trust in a universe that exists to support you, opens you up and connects you to your source, connects you to the unlimited support, guidance, energy and wisdom that is available to you at all times.

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

The more you allow yourself to trust in the face of fear Dear One, the more you will be opening up the faucet. The more open your faucet is, the less you will have to be fearful of.

We know who you are Dear One.

And we know why you’re here.

We knew who you were before you decided to incarnate into this physical reality.

And we remember why you decided to do so.

• And it had nothing to do with winning, proving a point, achieving success, or gaining control.
• And it had nothing to do with being right, famous, rich, popular, envied or thin either.

Do you want to know who you are Dear One?

You are a powerful creator with the ability to manifest anything your heart desires.  You are an essential part of all that is.  You are eternal. You are divine. And you never can and never will be anything less. You are someone who is deeply needed, valued, cherished, loved and adored.

Do you want to know why you choose to be here?

To enjoy the experience of it.

Now you know too.

The wait is over Dear One, the moment that you decide it is, the moment that you choose for it to be.

One of the most destructive things you can do to yourself Dear One, is to do something that you believe is wrong.

Know that it will always be better for you to follow your heart, and run the risk of unintentionally being wrong, than to ignore it, and intentionally do wrong.

Don’t spend your time waiting, pleading, bargaining, trying to convince them to have a change of heart Dear One.

The only heart that you have the power to change is your own.

Why are we always encouraging you to speak your truth Dear One?

Contrary to popular belief, it is not simply because it is “just the right thing to do”.

The real reason that we want you to tell the truth Dear One, is that consequences of doing so will shift the people, events, circumstances and outcomes around you in such a way so as to lead you to precisely the right spot where you need to be to start living it.

That’s why.

Tell the truth and don’t fear that things will change as result of doing so.

Tell the truth and get excited about the changes that will unfold as a result.

We want you to know Dear One that destiny, the universe, God, spirit, prana, fate, life force, serendipity, karma, whatever you want to call it, whatever you believe in, is absolutely, positively, without a doubt, not the most powerful force in the universe dictating the course of your life.

You are.

Accept this, believe this to be true Dear One, and you will be accepting one of the most powerful, the most precious, the most empowering gifts in all of creation – the limitless power of choice.

Don’t make a commitment to yourself that you are never again going to quit when things get hard Dear One – Instead, commit to always try and do your best.

Don’t commit to try to never again be afraid – Commit to trusting in well-being and believing that all will be well.

Don’t commit to try and never let anger get the best of you – Commit to always try to do your best to forgive.

Don’t commit to stop doing those things that you know do not serve you anymore Dear One – Commit to love, care, honor, and respect yourself, and those around you, to intentionally create the life you want, instead.

While both may inspire the same behavior from you, the results generated by each will be incomparable.
