Forgive yourself Dear One, now, for whatever it is.

Why?

Because you can’t beat yourself up and heal, make amends, or move forward in any positive or useful way until you do.

That’s why

• You are so much stronger than you think you are
• You shine so much brighter than you think you do
• Your influence travels so much farther than you think it does
• Your love is far more healing than you know
• Your thoughts, actions and beliefs are so much more powerful, significant, and transformative then you believe them to be

Your impact on the world is great Dear One, each and every day

So, what’s the big deal then?

You are.

What’s the big deal about saying “I can’t”  Dear One?

We’ll tell you.

Once you decide that you can’t, once you make up your mind and choose to believe this as your truth, it will become your truth.  And when it does, doors will immediately begin to disappear from your sight as a result.

Once you decide that you can’t, you cut yourself off from countless possibilities, you cut yourself off from so many experiences that are and have always been available to  you.

And once that happens, you are no longer able to see the world as it really is – infinite.  You are no longer able to see the truth of your reality, the truth that anything is possible –  and your worldview begins to get smaller.  And the smaller it gets, the more cut off you feel.  And the more cut off you feel, the more you close doors.  And the more you encounter closed doors, the more you begin to experience and believe in a reality defined by your self imposed limitations.  And the more that happens, the harder it becomes for you remember what the world looks like and feels like when anything was possible.

So yes Dear One, saying I can’t is a very big deal.

Please don’t do so lightly.

Love is an inside job Dear One.   Totally and completely.

Experiencing it, enjoying it, feeling as though you have enough of it in your life, has very little to do with them, with their thoughts, feelings, actions, beliefs, and behavior towards you, and everything to do with you.

If you are not open to it, if your heart is not open to receiving love, if you don’t practice loving yourself and others, you will never feel it, you will never feel as if you have enough of it in your life, no matter how much they love you, no matter how often they tell you, no matter how many different ways they try to show you.

But, if you are open to it Dear One, if you open your heart to the experience of love, to the love that exists all around you, that is flowing to you and through you at all times, you will never be without it, you could never be without it, you will never know the experience of feeling a lack of it in your life again.

You are not lacking guidance Dear One. That you’ve got in spades.

What you are lacking is the confidence in yourself to believe it when you hear it – to trust it – to act on it.

Instead of asking for, searching for, seeking out more guidance – allow yourself to be courageous enough to act on that which you already know to be true.

Clarity comes with action Dear One. You’ll never know for sure until you try.

There is no beginning, middle and end to you Dear One.

• You are eternal
• You are divine
• You are a powerful creator
• You are a part of all that is
• You are connected to us, and we are connected to you

You are, always have been, and always will be, all of these things, all the time, regardless of how you feel, regardless of what you do, regardless of what you say, think, are told, or believe.

And there is absolutely nothing that you can do about it.

If you relax Dear One, let go, allow, breathe, trust, smile, and lighten up a little, things in your life will begin to flow a whole lot more smoothly than they are right now.

We know that you know this already, but from where we are standing, it looked as though you could use the reminder.

The only time that what they say, what they think, and what they believe matters Dear One, is when you decide that it does.

What is it that you are really worried about Dear One?

Are you worried about what is, or are you worried about what maybe could possibly, someday, come to pass a year, a month, a week, a day, or even a minute from now?

If you are going to use your thoughts to project yourself into the future, why not project yourself into a future that you want, one that feels good to you, one that is exciting, healthy, balanced, abundant, and full of life, laughter and love?

Since you are the one doing the choosing, why choose to imagine yourself anywhere but where it is that you really wanted to be?

Change your thoughts Dear One, and you just may find that you have much less to worry about than you thought you did.

More often than not Dear One, it is not the conflict itself that is the source of your pain, discomfort, anger, frustration, racing heart or sweaty palms.

It is your response to it.

It is your response that determines how you feel, what you think, the story that you tell, the flow of your energy, the focus of your attention, and as a result, the quality of the solutions that will present themselves to you or that you will take notice of.

Don’t dig in, tense up, or pinch yourself off from well-being in fear, anger, or self-righteousness when facing a conflict.  Relax, be gentle, open up, let go, and allow yourself to connect, allow your energy to rise up, not sink down, as you seek a resolution.

Choose your response consciously Dear One, with intention, clarity, trust, and an open heart, and you just might be surprised to discover the source of your conflict dissipating as you do, and the circumstances surrounding it rising up to meet you.
