You are making a contribution to the world around you Dear One, with every thought that you think, every intention that set, every word that you speak, every action that you take.

You can choose to contribute frustration, fear, anger, self-loathing, jealousy, pettiness, revenge, mediocrity or complacency to the world if you would like.

Or you can choose to contribute compassion, bravery, tolerance, laughter, confidence, generosity, optimism, hope, well, you get the idea.

The only thing that you can’t choose Dear One, is to make no contribution at all.

So, have you decided yet what you would like your contribution to be today?

Asking “Why” won’t change anything Dear One.

But taking action will.

Do you want to start feeling better Dear One, right now?

If so, then follow these 3 simple steps:

1. Choose a better feeling thought
2. And then another
3. And another

*Repeat as often as is necessary until desired results are achieved.  

You don’t have to fight the brewing storm Dear One, or fear it, run from it, hide from it or prepare to brace yourself against it.

You’ve got another choice you know.

You can simply allow it to come, and trust yourself enough to know that you are strong enough, wise enough, and resilient enough to handle it, and whatever it may bring your way.

Because you are.

You have a unique opportunity available to you today Dear One, that will not be available to you tomorrow.

Today, you have the opportunity to make THIS day unforgettable.

• You can make it the day that you risked it all, or the day that you that you played it safe.
• You can make it the day that you finally spoke up, spoke your truth, or the day that you remained silent.
• You can make it the day that you gave up, or the day that you asked for help.
• You can make it the day that you changed your life, or the day that you remained the same.

This opportunity will not be available to you tomorrow Dear One.

So you better take advantage of it, while you still can.

If you want things to be different Dear One, you’ve got to choose differently.

It really is the only way.

When what you want is not what is showing up for you Dear One, a simple misalignment may be all there is to blame.

How do you know if this is the case?

Ask yourself if your actions, thoughts and beliefs are in alignment with your desires.

And remember:

• You can’t reach abundance with actions motivated by fear or scarcity
• You can’t reach joy with thoughts fueled by regret or sadness
• You can’t reach love with a belief that you are not worthy of it

As soon as you stop feeding it with your thoughts, acknowledging it with your words, and reacting to it with your actions, that which you no longer want, which no longer serves you, will begin to fade away Dear One.

You should know that it is your continued focus on it, your continued attention to it, that is causing it to stick around.

The time for pretending to be weak, timid, incapable, powerless, unworthy or anything less than you really are, is long over Dear One.

The day does not require you to be brilliant, funny, witty, charming, or thin Dear One.

It does not require you be as good as, or better than anyone else.

It does not even require that you be as good as or better than you were yesterday.

The only thing that it requires Dear One, is that you be you, and do the best that you can do, today.
