You should know Dear One, that as soon as you stop feeding it with your thoughts, acknowledging it with your attention, strengthening it with your words, and telling everyone that you can get to listen about how much you wish it wasn’t so, that which no longer serves you, that which you longer want, will begin to go away.

The best way to approach a bad day Dear One, is this —  to remember this one very important thing — that no matter bad things look, no matter how bad thing appear to be, no matter how hopeless you think the situation is — it won’t last.  As experience has already taught you time and time again, it never does.

The quicker that you can get back to doing/choosing/focusing your attention on those things that are going right, those things that you love, those things that bring you joy, that incite laughter, that inspire feelings of gratitude, hope, creativity, excitement, levity, anticipation, and excitement within you, the quicker it will pass.

And just how long will that take?

Well that is entirely up to you.

We’ve got some great news for you Dear One!

Your success is totally and completely dependent on you, and you alone.

Abundance, happiness, love, creativity, inspiration, well-being can all be yours, anytime that you would like.

You can allow them into your life whenever you want them.

You don’t need to wait for someone else to give them to you.  You don’t need to ask for permission to take them.  You don’t need to rely on someone else to create opportunities for you or unlock doors for you.

You do not need to wait for anything or anyone Dear One.

All you need to do is remember that you are worthy, that you are deserving of all of these things, and open yourself up and receive them.

Isn’t that a relief?

If you don’t feel good about the decisions you make yesterday Dear One, if you are unhappy with the choices that you made, know that you don’t have to regret them.  You can choose to accept them, learn from them and choose differently today instead if you would like.

No matter how badly you feel, no matter how badly you made them feel, no matter how much you punish yourself, or those around you, regret will not solve, fix, change or improve anything in any way, shape, or form.

It never has and it never will.

Regret won’t help you or them to forget, forgive, connect, improve, repair, restore, heal or move on Dear One.

But forgiveness will – change will – hope will – courage will – faith will – strength, love, kindness, and compassion will.

What you believe Dear One, is so much more important than what is.

In fact, it is the most important thing that there is.

In this moment Dear One, you have the ability to make a different choice, to have a different experience.

You can choose to love a little more and judge a little less, to forgive, to be kind, to show compassion, to stand up for yourself, to walk away, to be brave, to take a risk, to let them in, or let them go.

Now, in this moment –  you can choose to be confident – you can choose to take care of yourself – you can choose to impact the lives of others – you can choose to trust and try and trust and try again.

So, what’s it going to be?

Choosing to hold on Dear One, just may be the choice that is responsible for holding you back.

Don’t try to make your life bigger and better Dear One.

Trust, let go, connect, find any excuse that you can to feel good, and allow it to expand instead.

Doing it this way requires far less effort and will yield you far better results.

Try it and see.!

Imagine if you can for a minute Dear One, things exactly as you want them to be.

Imagine having everything that you want, having everything that you need, having every single thing that you desire for yourself, and then some.

Are you doing it? Are you picturing it? Are you imagining what that would look like, feel like, and be like for you?

Is the thought making you smile?

Good. Keep it up.
