We have two requests for you today Dear One.

1. Choose words, thoughts, actions, activities, projects, and relationships that make you happy, over those that don’t.
2. Forgive yourself immediately if you needed the reminder to do so.

When you are unsure Dear One, about the decision you are about to make, take a minute and ask yourself this question:

• Will this choice, will this action, will engaging in this relationship, will moving forward in this direction, will investing my energy here, serve my greatest good?

And then don’t think about the answer, listen for it, and then you will know.

Make all of your decisions today as if there was someone standing beside you, holding your hand, encouraging you, supporting you, loving you, believing in you, cheering you on, every step of the way.

Because there is.

You have no idea just how big of a support system you’ve got working for you Dear One.

Use it.

You’ve got to make a choice Dear One.  So why not choose to be happy?

No matter what the question is, why not choose happiness as your answer?

Why not let happiness be your motivation, above all else?

There is no guarantee that when you do, that things are going to work out the way that you want them to, the way that you are expecting them to.  But, what is guaranteed Dear One, is that when happiness is guiding you, you can absolutely trust that whatever the outcome is, it will be moving you in a direction that you want to be headed.

The best thing that you can do for yourself right this minute Dear One, is to take a deep breath and clear your mind, make a conscious connection with your heart, allow the smile to rise to your lips, and trust what it is telling you.

Why be here now Dear One?

• Because the more present you are, the more you focus your attention in the present moment, the more you will see, hear, smell, taste, and feel, the more aware you will be of what is going on around you, and within you.
• And the more you understand that, the more you will understand the impact of your choices, how they make you feel, and how they are serving you (or not serving you), in the present moment.
• And the more you understand that, the more you will understand cause and effect, the more you will come to understand what is real and what is a product of your own imagination.
• And the more you understand that, the more you will be able to take responsibility for your choices, for your actions, thoughts, beliefs and behaviors.
• And more you are able to do that that, the more you will come to understand just how powerful you really are.

That’s why.

If your body is telling you that it needs a break Dear One, trust us when we tell you that you will be so much better off choosing to take it, while the choice is still yours to make.

You have complete freedom of choice Dear One, when it comes to your thoughts.

You are free to choose to think absolutely any thought that you want to;

• About you
• About them
• About what is
• About what was
• About what could be

So remember, if you don’t like the one that you are thinking right now, if it is not bringing you pleasure, joy, contentment, or relief, you are free to choose another.

Your thoughts determine your reality Dear One, they impact the quality of every single experience that you have, so please don’t be so quick to dismiss the significant power that this freedom affords you.

We want to make this as simple for you as we possibly can Dear One.

Forgiveness has absolutely, positively, nothing what so ever to do with them.

It is simply the act of releasing your connection to something that no longer serves you,  releasing your bond with something that you no longer want to remain connected to.

It is letting go of the rope, removing your hand from the hot stove, exiting the burning building.

If you are not being yourself Dear One, who cares if they like you?

What does it matter really if they like some person that you are pretending to be?

Where is the satisfaction in that?

Why exert your effort into being liked, when being yourself feels so much better?
