Fear, insecurity, uncertainty, a lack of confidence, opportunity, encouragement, support, or finances are all just excuses, Dear One, and they are not good enough reasons not to try.

None of them has the ability to actually stop you.

Only you can do that.

What else have you got?

Take notice of the hands that you are holding onto, Dear One, the connections that you choose to maintain.

Are they helping you up or holding you down?  Are they pulling you back or encouraging you forward?  Are they leading you in the direction that best serves you or in the direction that best serves them?

If you are not sure, Dear One, let go for a moment or two (or three or four if you need to) and find out.

It’s important that you know.

Whether or not to love someone is not a decision that can be made logically, Dear one. So stop trying so hard to try to “figure it out”.  Because you won’t, you can’t.  Love is not a decision to be made.  Love is a feeling, a force, an experience that you allow, that you share, that you enjoy.

Either you love / allow love to flow through you and to you, or you don’t.

You allow love, Dear One.  You don’t choose it.

Either they inspire the feeling, the allowing of it in you, or they do not.

The only decision to be made when it comes to love, Dear One is whether or not you are brave enough, open enough, moved enough,  desiring a connection enough, to allow it, to experience it, to surrender yourself to it, when inspiration should strike.

You can’t punish yourself for making a mistake, misjudgment, or misstep, Dear One, and come back into alignment, return to your flow, make it right again, at the same time.

You’re going to have to choose, one or the other.

You’re going to have to decide which is more important to you; returning to well-being and restoring balance, or remaining self-critical.

What’s it going to be?

Your expectations are a moving target, Dear One.

They can shift as frequently as your needs….. as your moods.

• When you need more – you expect more.
• When you need less – you tend to expect less, and be much more forgiving.

Expectations change – often.  So be careful not to put too much emphasis or importance on having them met.

Eliminate them all together, and you will be eliminating one of the greatest sources of disappointment from your life.

Remember, Dear One, that regardless of how scared, chaotic, lost, or out of control you feel, that the world feels right now, your center, your home,  is only one slow, deep breath away.

And we are there.

Always.

You can choose to focus your attention on that which makes you feel badly, on that which is not working, if you want to, Dear One, but you should know, that  would not be the choice that we would make, if we were you.

Care to wager a guess on what we would choose to do instead?

You are loved, Dear One, beyond words, beyond deeds, beyond thoughts, beyond time, beyond space, beyond compare.

It’s important that you know that.

The more Love you bring into this world, Dear One, the more Love there will be.

If your body is telling you that it needs a break, Dear One, take it.

Trust us when we tell you that you will be so much better off choosing to take one now, while the choice is still yours to make.
