You can choose to trust, Dear One, or you can choose to try.

• When you trust you are making a decision to open yourself up and allow the unlimited potential of the universe to bring to you or bring you to that which is for your greatest good.

• When you try without trusting, you are making a decision to rely on yourself and the limited capacity of your physical reality to do what needs to be done.

Both will work. Both will serve you.  Both will move you in the direction that you want to go.

The biggest difference between the two, Dear One, is the amount of energy that you will have to exert to get there.

You can spend your whole life following the rules invented by others for themselves, Dear One, or you can do what you are meant to be doing – which is writing your own rules.

Today, which feels like a better fit for you?

Their rules or yours?

Why struggle, when you can allow, Dear One?

Why pretend when you can be truthful?

Why fight when you can accomplish so much more by connecting?

Why be hard on yourself, when you can choose to be loving, caring, nurturing, and supportive of yourself instead?

You can’t stop all hurts from ever reaching you Dear One, but you can stop making them worse for yourself when they do.

You and you alone are responsible for your experience on this journey, Dear One.

• You are responsible for your feelings.
• You are responsible for your actions.
• You are responsible for your reactions.
• You are responsible for your beliefs.
• You are responsible for your words.

Do you get it?

If we were you, if we were the ones standing in your shoes in this physical reality, we would spend as little time as we possibly could indulging in opportunities that inspired us to feel inferior, offended, disappointed, discouraged, let down, powerless, angry, or unworthy, and instead spend our time indulging in opportunities that encouraged us to feel powerful, worthy, loved, motivated, optimistic, connected, compassionate, generous, joyful, happy, centered, and at ease, as often as we possibly could.

But that’s just us.

What are you going to choose to do?

• You are so much stronger than you think you are
• You shine so much brighter than you think you do
•  Your influence travels so much farther than you think it does
• Your love is so much more powerful, healing, and transformative then you believe it to be
• Your impact on the world is significant Dear One, each and every day

The (not so) small favor that we ask of you is this:  Believe us.

Believe us when we tell you that all of these things are true, and make your choices, approach your challenges and live your life accordingly.

If you could do this one (not so) small favor for us, Dear One,  we can assure you that the results will have a not so small impact on you, your loved ones and the world around you.

Do you want to know what your mission is in this life, Dear One?

We’ll tell you.

It is to create, experience, share, and allow as much love, joy, laughter, compassion, contentment, connection, and gratitude as you possibly can.

Why?

Because when you are experiencing these things, it means that you are in alignment with your source, with your higher-self, with who you really are.

So now that you know, are you ready to accept it?

Never mind how you felt, Dear One.

How do you want to feel?

Let that be your new starting point.

Need help prioritizing?

This should help, Dear One:

Be true to you.  Be true to your heart.

• First.
• Last.
• Always.

If you take responsibility, Dear One, you eliminate blame.  There is no one left to blame!

When you take responsibility, you are making a commitment to ask yourself, about every situation, circumstance, and relationship that you should find yourself in; Did I create this consciously, intentionally, and on purpose, or did I create this unconsciously, unintentionally, and without thought?

Responsibility is the single most powerful tool at your disposal, Dear One, that can help you to get yourself from where you are to where you want to be.

So, what do you think?
Are you are ready to be responsible?
Are you ready to take responsibility?

Life is showing you all of the time, every minute of every day, an option for happiness, Dear One.
