There are an infinite number of different ways for you learn, Dear One.

• You can learn from standing the sidelines or you can learn by jumping in.
• You can learn by playing it safe or by taking a risk.
• You can learn through solitude or through connection.

Which to choose depends entirely on what kind of learning experience you are hoping to have.

And that is something that no one but you can decide for yourself.

So if you were hoping that we were going to help you out this time, that we were going to give you the answer, we are sorry to say that we can not, we will not tell you what to do.

But we will give you one small hint, Dear One.

And here it is.

Jump.

A piece of you is here, Dear One, and a piece of you is over there.  A piece of you is at your desk.  A piece of you is worrying about a friend.  A piece of you is planning dinner.  A piece of you is getting ready for what’s next, what if, and what could be. And a piece of you is thinking about all of the things that you need to do, want to do, have done but don’t believe that you have done well enough, and so on.

We get it.  You know how to do multiple things at once (or at least try to).  It is a skill that you have been practicing for most of your life with varying degrees of success.

But what if today you tried something new, Dear One?

What if today, instead, you practiced doing only one thing a time?

It is the fastest way we can think of that will help you to pull yourself right back together again.

There truly is only one choice for you to make everyday, Dear One, and that is to choose to allow life to flow through you, or to choose to not allow life to flow through you.

Every other decision that you make is just a expression of either one or the other.

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 your experience of every single thing that follows.

Do you want to know how to find someone who “gets” you, Dear One?

Do you want to know what you need to do to surround yourself with more people who really “get” who you are?

We’ll tell you.

Don’t go in search of them. Don’t exert a great amount of time, energy and effort seeking them out.  There is no need.

Just be yourself.  Reveal more of yourself, of who you really are to the world around you and all of the people in it, in everything that you do, as often as you possibly can, and they will find you!

What you think of you is so much more important than what they think of you, Dear One.

• What you think of you impacts the choices that you make
• What you think of you influences the company that you keep
• What you think of you determines the kind of friend that you are
• What you think of you inspires that work that you do
• What you think of you governs the chances that you take
• What you think of you shapes who you are and the direction of your life

What they think of you reflects only what they think of you.

You say you want things to be different and yet you continue to bring the same attitude, beliefs, mindset, patterns, and expectations to the table each day. How can you continue to think, feel, speak, and act the same way and expect your experience to change?

Your circumstances may not be what is holding you back, Dear One.

It’s your life, Dear One.

Why not do something beautiful with it today?

Do you want to know how to find your center, Dear One?  Do you want to know how to move towards a greater state of balance?

Look for, seek out, create, move towards, spread, allow yourself to experience joy, as much of it as you possibly can.

Love, laugher, happiness, compassion, contentment, joyful feelings, are all expressions of balance and reflections of alignment.

• The more joy you  experience, the better you will feel, the closer you will be to a balanced state.
• The more balanced you are, the more balance you will bring to the world.
• The more balance you bring to the world, the better off we all will be because of it.

You should know, Dear One, that joy is at the center of balance and alignment for us all, and that your experience of it serves a far greater purpose than just making you feel good.

So just in case you were wondering if feeling better, if going in search of your center, in search of balance is really worth all of the effort, we want to reassure you, that it most definitely is.

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.
