Know, Dear One, that the universe is very good at filling up empty spaces with wonderful things, if you let it.

Reason dictates, Dear One, that things are going to get bad, again, worse even, before they get any better.

But is life really dictated by reason?

We think not.
A truth that has been demonstrated to you time and time again.
What is reasonable rarely ever comes to pass.

So,  if not reason, then what can you rely on to dictate/ to predict/ to inform/ to help you prepare for what’s coming next?

It’s Faith, Dear One.

Faith is what is needed, faith is what is required, faith is what you want to hold on to and rely on more than anything else as you anticipate and prepare yourself to move ahead, as you prepare for what’s coming next.

Hold on to faith, Dear One, not reason, and breathe deeply again as you allow its limitless possibilities and potential to  blow the limited capacity of reason far out of sight and mind.

Do you know where you belong, Dear One?

You belong in a place that makes you happy.  You belong with people that you love and that love you.  You belong wherever it is that you feel strong, supported, powerful, creative, and useful.  You belong where you feel encouraged, inspired, and energized, hopeful, courageous, accepted and safe.

That’s where.

If when you look around, you find that you are not in a place like this, then perhaps it is time for you to acknowledge that where you are might not be the right place for you after all, and move on.

What we know, Dear One, that you might not, is that the only force in the universe that is capable of preventing you from doing, being, having, accomplishing, creating, or completing anything that you want, is you.

When you are in a place where you can recognize that your ability to see, and think, and perceive clearly has been impaired, Dear One, stop.

Just sit down, right where you are, and be still.

Trying to fix it, pushing more clouded, chaotic energy out into the world when you are in this state is only going to add to the spinning, to the racing, to the whirlwind that is blowing all around you, impairing your vision.

Stop and be still; let the winds die down a bit, let the dust settle, and wait for your vision to clear before you take One. More. Step.

Some days the most valuable thing that you can do for yourself, and those around you, is to stop, and be perfectly still.

Sometimes, the biggest, most important, and challenging task on your to-do list, is to do nothing.

You are and will always be more light than you are dark, Dear One.

You will always be more spirit/energy than you are physical.

There is more about you that is malleable, flexible, and changeable than is permanent.

There will always be more about you that you can change, Dear One, than you can not.

You can choose to believe anything that you want, Dear One.

Your beliefs are not like the color of your eyes or the length of your pinky toe.

They are not assigned to you, or determined for you, by genetics or some other external force in the universe, like a parent, a partner, a teacher, or a book.

(Although we know that sometimes it can feel that way)

They are a very personal choice that you make every single day.

And if yours are causing you to feel anything other than strong, empowered, and  good about yourself, please remember that it is well within your power to change them anytime you would like.

Forgive yourself ,Dear One, right now, for whatever it is, without exception.

Why?

Because you can’t beat yourself up and heal, make amends, or move forward in any positive or useful way until you do.

That’s why.

There are few things in this world that are worse for you, Dear One, that hold more potential for disaster, than moving forward in fear, than doing something that you truly don’t believe that you are capable of doing, than doing something that you are afraid to do, that you don’t want to do, that you believe is going to harm you.

And accepting your fears as reality, allowing them to define you, to restrict you, to tie you up and chain you down to one place, to one mindset, to one set of limiting beliefs, for the rest of your life, is one of them.

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.
