That contrast that you are cursing Dear One, is the teacher that you have been looking for.

You can rage at it or learn from it.

The choice is yours.

Make a sacred pledge to yourself Dear One, right here and now, to love yourself, no matter what.

• No matter what you said. No matter what you thought. No matter what you did (or didn’t do).
• No matter what they said. No matter what they thought. No matter what they did (or didn’t do).

Decide right now, to love yourself anyway.

Because to decide otherwise Dear One, is to decide to cut yourself off from your source, just when you need it the most.

Because to decide otherwise, is to reject the most powerful tool you’ve got at your disposal for turning things around.

Enough is enough Dear One.

• If you want change, change
• If you want love, love
• If you want respect, respect
• If you want to heal, allow healing, strength and well being to dominate every word you speak, every thought you think, and every action you take

Make the decision in your heart first Dear One, commit to taking action on its behalf, and then watch as the universe yields to its every whim.

Contrary to how it might feel to you at times Dear One, you should know that it is you, your heart, that is commanding the actions of universe and not the other way around.

You are most powerful as a creator Dear One, when you are enjoying the experience of imagining things just as you would like them to be.

Much more so then when you are fretting about the details of how you are going to try and make it all happen.

Your job as a creator is to imagine, enjoy, choose (act), allow, and imagine some more.

It is the universes job to take care of all the rest.

If you want to do your job well today Dear One, stop worrying about the details and allow yourself to get back to the task of imagining all that you want and enjoying yourself in the process, as quickly as you possibly can.

Remember, you’re on the clock.

The idea of being overwhelmed Dear One, the anticipation of not being able to handle it all, is far more stressful then the actual stress of completing all of the tasks before you.

Truly.

So what are you to do?

Eliminate the anticipation.

• Instead of telling yourself “I can’t”, tell yourself “I can”
• Instead of telling yourself “it’s going to be a nightmare”, tell yourself  “everything is going to run smoothly”
• Instead of telling yourself  “I don’t have all the answers”, tell yourself  “I know all of the answers will come to me”

And believe it.

Do this Dear One and you will be reducing most of the stress of your day before you even dig in and take on the first task.

And trust us, you will be a whole lot more efficient, effective and productive as a result. Not to mention a whole lot happier too.

Be true to you Dear One.

First.

Last.

Always.

It’s ok feel scared Dear One.

It’s ok to feel frightened.

It’s ok to feel arrogant, petty, angry, or jealous.

It is ok to feel whatever it is that you are feeling in any given moment.

Truly it is.

We are ok with you.

You should be too.

Experience the emotion Dear One.   Let it come.

• Observe it.
• Acknowledge it.
• Feel it.
• And let it go.

Judgment is not a necessary part of the equation.

Remember Dear One, an emotion is something that you feel, it is not something that defines who you are.

Nothing is impossible Dear One.

Believe it.

Don’t promise that you won’t give up Dear One – Promise that you’ll always do your best.

Don’t promise that you won’t be afraid – Promise to trust that all will be well.

Don’t promise that you won’t hate anymore – Promise that you’ll forgive

Don’t promise to stop doing that which you know does not serve you anymore – Promise to love and care for yourself, no matter what.

While they both may result in you choosing the same behavior, the difference between the two Dear One, is night and day.

If you don’t want it anymore Dear One, if you don’t like it anymore, stop choosing it, (over and over again).

You don’t need to push it away, shove it out, or try to force it out of sight and out of mind to get rid of it.  In fact, you really don’t need to exert any effort at all.

You simply need to stop choosing it.

Remember that you aren’t just choosing with your actions. You are choosing with your thoughts, with your beliefs, and with the focus of your attention.

We know that there are so many things in this life that you are looking forward to Dear One, that you want to experience, hold-on to, and create more of for yourself, so why give even one more minute of your attention to anything else?
