To ride this ride, Dear One, you must trust.

To do it any other way makes it so much more difficult than it needs to be.

What are you meant to trust in?

Our answer to that question is right here.

^^

Sometimes trying harder is not the answer, Dear One.

Sometimes taking a break is.

Trust yourself enough to know if this is one of those times.

How do you know for sure?

Ask your heart.  It will tell you.

If only you knew, Dear One, just how extremely powerful, amazingly precious, uniquely gifted, and absolutely essential you are, just as you are, you would never again speak another unkind word, think another unkind thought, or do another unkind thing to yourself, ever again.

In your search for balance, Dear One, are you:

A:  Aligning yourself with what feels good to you, your passions, your priorities, your needs, your wants, your desires, your vision for your life?

B:  Aligning yourself with what you think is suppose to feel good , with what you think your priorities are supposed to be, with what you think you are supposed to want, need and desire for yourself or with what they want, need or desire for you?

If you are continually finding yourself out of balance, out of alignment, Dear One, your answer to this question may help you to understand why.

How do you move beyond your limits, Dear One?

Recognizing that limiting thoughts, beliefs, words, and actions are just that, limiting, is a really great place to start.

You are not here to become anything, Dear One.

You are already everything that you are ever going to be.

You are divine. You are powerful. You are limitless. You are eternal.

You are here to remember that, and act accordingly.

And we are here to help you.

Let us.

You should forgive yourself, Dear One, quickly, completely, and as often as you possibly can, for everything that you’ve ever done. Especially those things that you just can’t seem to forgive yourself for.

Why?

Because it is the only way that you will ever be able to learn from it, grow from it, or do something valuable with the experience of it, and move forward in a better direction.

That does not mean that we are encouraging you to disregard, overlook, belittle, ignore, or dismiss any negative, hurtful, harmful, thoughtless or destructive behavior you may have engaged in or contributed to.

It means that we want you to recognize that the fact that you are aware that you have not forgiven yourself, that you are in need of forgiveness, is an acknowledgement of a wrongdoing, an acknowledgement that you could have done better, that a better choice, a more preferred choice was available to you.

If you did not see a need to forgive at all, that would mean that you did not, could not or most likely would not choose to differently next time.

But if you did see a need to forgive yourself, Dear One, and acknowledged that recognition as a confirmation that you now know better than you did before, that you could now do better, choose better, but still decided not to…

Well, what a waste that would be.

Just the same way that helping others affords you the opportunity to feel good about yourself, Dear One, to feel useful, to feel as if you are serving your life’s purpose, you allowing them to help you when you are in need, does the same for them.

Let them help you when you are in need, Dear One.

It really is the only fair thing to do.

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.

It is better to do nothing, Dear One, then it is to move forward in distress, frustration, anger, resentment, insecurity, hatred, or greed.

It is better to create nothing, then it is to create more of that which is unwanted.
