You are meant to know more today than you did yesterday, Dear One.   Don’t punish yourself for that which you did not know before – praise yourself for that which you do know now.

And remember that this holds true for those around you as well.  They too are in the process of learning.  They too will know more tomorrow than they do today.  While you are practicing acceptance and forgiveness of yourself as you learn Dear One, remember to practice it for those around you as well.

Don’t fault each other for that which you have not yet learned– Help each other to learn all that you can.

You have come to this place to heal this place, Dear One.

You did not do something wrong.You are not being punished.  You are not being tested.  You are not being taught a lesson.

You are being given an opportunity to heal.

Take it.

Asking Why? will not improve your circumstances, Dear One.  But choosing to focus your attention on something better, can.

Do you know what’s coming, Dear One? Do you know what is headed your way right now?

• More of what you have been talking about.
• More of what you have been thinking about.
• More of what you have been giving your attention to.
• More proof that what you believe is true.

Now that you know, are you looking forward to its arrival? Do you think you will be happy when it gets here?

If your answer is yes, fantastic!

If your answer is no, you should know that there is still time to do something about it.

How long will it take to change, Dear One?

That depends.

• How long are you planning to continue to hold on to what is?
• How long are you planning to continue to remain stagnant, motivated by fear, insecurity, doubt, and uncertainty?
• How long are you planning to continue to think that experiencing well-being requires great effort?
• How long are you planning to continue to not trust?
• How long are you planning to continue to hold on to the idea that change is hard?

How long will it take for you to change, Dear One?

You tell us.

There truly is only one choice for you to make everyday, Dear One, and that is to choose to allow life to flow through you, or to choose to not allow life to flow through you.

Every other decision that you make is just a expression of either one or the other.

• Trust more.
• Struggle less.

That’s all there is to it!

The more you trust, Dear One; your heart, your intuition, your gut, source, the universe, yourself, the less you will experience struggle.

Don’t over think this one.  Don’t struggle with the idea.  Don’t spend too much time trying to decide whether or not you believe this is true.

Just trust that it is, and see for yourself.

Rise and shine, Dear One.

There is no need for you to be afraid. There is no need for you to be fearful or trepidatious of the day ahead.

We are here with you and we are going to do this with you, we are going to walk this path with you, we are going to take this journey together.

We will be with you today, as we are with you every day.

So as you rise Dear One, keep us close to your heart, know that you are not alone, know that you are loved, supported, and being guided, know that you have great wisdom and unlimited creative power at your disposal.

And knowing all this, with great confidence, allow yourself to shine.

We are not going to try and stop you from making self-destructive choices, Dear One, repeating self-destructive patterns, or engaging in self-destructive relationships.

This is your life and you are free to choose to live it any way that you please.

But what we are going to do is try and help you to become more aware of the fact that you are doing so.

We want you to think about and be conscious of every single choice that you make.  We want you to choose purposefully, deliberately, and with intention.

If you are making choices that are harming you, we would like for you to be fully aware of the fact that you are doing so.

This is your life, Dear One, and you are free to make any choice that pleases you.

If, however, the choices that you are making are not pleasing to you, then we are going to do all that we can to encourage you to start making different ones.

A flower does not ask why, or how, or when to blossom, Dear One.  It just happens.

Circumstances and conditions dictate the rate, and speed, and timing of growth, as well as the characteristics of the individual seed.

The flower does not choose them, it discovers them.

You’ll flourish under the right circumstances , Dear One. Just pay attention; to what feels good and what feels better.

Some plants flourish in direct sunlight, and others in the shade.

You are not a less beautiful or less valuable flower if direct sunlight causes you to wilt.

The optimal conditions for you will not be the optimal conditions for them.

Let them bloom where they are most nourished, and allow yourself to do the same, without guilt, shame, or remorse.

Embrace your optimal conditions, Dear One, and don’t you dare for one minute feel badly that they are not for everyone. They are not feeling badly for you.

When the conditions are right for you, you’ll know it.  There is no need for you to question them.  Your only job is to embrace them, enjoy them, and to allow yourself to flourish in them when you discover them. And to grow.
