Do you want to know what balance is and is not Dear One?

Balance is…

• being indulgent and disciplined
• being strong and vulnerable
• being brave and cautious
• being selfish and generous
• being flexible and committed
• being playful and working hard

Balance is not achieved by standing still on the point in the middle.

We need you to trust yourself and speak up Dear One, now.

Please don’t wait for all of them, some of them, or even one of them to agree with you first, before you share your perspective, before you choose to act on it and expose it to the world.

Because that may never happen.

And what a shame it would be, for both you and for them, if your brilliance, your insights, your point of view, your thoughts, ideas, and opinions were never heard because someone else didn’t think of them first.

Stop, take notice, and ask yourself Dear One, do you want a future filled with more of what you are thinking about, saying, doing, focusing on, and choosing to give your energy and attention to right now?

If the answer is yes, carry on.

But if the answer is no, then you should probably do something about that right away.

Accepting who you are Dear One, understanding, trusting, believing, that you are energy, consciousness, a divine spirit having a physical experience, that you are an essential part of all that is, that you connected to everything and everyone, that you are a powerful creator responsible for the expansion of the universe, changes nothing.

• Who you are will remain the same
• Your face will not change
• Your gifts and talents will remain exactly as they are
• Your world will still be round
• You will still wake up everyday, in your physical body, and need to tend to your physical needs

Accept who you really are and nothing will be different, except for your perception of what is, your belief of what can be, your understanding of your connection to all things, your awareness of how you are creating your world, and your experience of everything in it.

Everything will remain exactly the same Dear One, and nothing will ever be the same again.

They are not exhausting you Dear One.

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

They are not to blame.

You are doing this to yourself.

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

How?

By making choices that please you.

FYI – Doing so is not selfish Dear One, it is necessary.  You are of far greater value, to them, to you, to everyone and everything, when you are pleased then when you are not.

You already know that the best way to build strength in your physical body Dear One, is to use it.

But did you also know that the same goes for building strength in your emotional body as well?

If you want to feel stronger in love, don’t wait for more love to come to you, love more.

If you want to be more creative, create more.

If you want to be more trusting, trust more.

Use whatever it is you want to strengthen, Dear One, more.

It’s just that simple.

It’s not easy, but it is simple.

You’ll never really know what it’s like to be totally and completely alone Dear One.

None of us will – ever. Not you and not we.

We are all connected. We are all one and the same — physical and spirit.  We simply exist on different planes of reality from one another.  And quite clearly even that can not keep us apart.

• You can choose to tell yourself a story of isolation and disconnection if you would like
• Or you can choose to feel the power of the connection that you have with all things at all times

That decision is entirely yours.

But of all things that you think you have to be fearful of  in this life Dear One, being alone should not be one of them – because the truth is, it’s just not possible.

Gratitude is more than a feeling Dear One. And it is more than an attitude too.

It is an act of creation.

When you are grateful, when you are feeling gratitude, you are in the process of creating more of, you are in the process of inviting more of whatever it is you are grateful for into your life.

Yes, being grateful does feel good Dear One, but you should know that it is also a really good investment of your time as well.

Fear exists nowhere Dear One, except within your mind.

• Does that make it any less real?
• Does that make it any less powerful?
• Does that make it any less of a limiting or destructive force in your life?

The truth is that yes, it does, if you decide that it does.

Step out onto the field today as a pitcher instead of a catcher Dear One, and watch how the whole game changes right before your eyes.
