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

And we are there.

Always.

Making the decision to be brave, Dear One, to act bravely, is far from a risky decision.

In fact, it is probably one of the safest decisions that you can make.

Why?

Because being brave requires you to trust, and in order to trust you must connect with your heart, listen to what it has to say, and allow it to guide you.

What could be safer than that?

You want to play it safe, Dear One?

Connect, trust, and take the leap.

Start by choosing to believe with absolute certainty that everything is going to be okay.

And then, act accordingly.

Because the truth is, Dear One, that it will be.

Why hold on to a grudge, Dear One, when there are so many other more pleasant things out there that you can choose to hold on to instead?

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.

Why beat yourself up with should-haves, would-haves, and could-haves, Dear One, when what you didn’t do then, is, and always will be, so much less important than what you choose to do now.

In one form or another, Dear One, this question seems to come up for you a lot.

• What is the meaning of this?
• What was the meaning of that?
• What does it all mean?

And no matter how many different ways you ask the question, the answer is always going to be the same.

The meaning is always going to be whatever you decide that it is.

What it means to you, Dear One, can only be determined by you, and nobody else.

So may we suggest that the next time the question arises, that you ask yourself this instead:

• What meaning am I going to choose to give to this?

Doing so will ensure that you always have a definite answer to your question and, it will spare you from experiencing a great deal of unnecessary uncertainty waiting for an answer.

They are not the reason you are exhausted, Dear One.

You are.  You are exhausting yourself by trying to please them, by choosing to prioritize them and their needs above your own.

They are not the ones to doing this to you.  You are doing this all by yourself, to yourself.

And you can choose to stop doing it anytime that you would like.

Want to know how to make today a good day, Dear One?

Only make choices that make you smile.

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.
