When you are in a place where you can recognize that your ability to see, and think, and perceive clearly has been impaired, Dear One, stop.

Just sit down, right where you are, and be still.

Trying to fix it, pushing more clouded, chaotic energy out into the world when you are in this state is only going to add to the spinning, to the racing, to the whirlwind that is blowing all around you, impairing your vision.

Stop and be still; let the winds die down a bit, let the dust settle, and wait for your vision to clear before you take One. More. Step.

Some days the most valuable thing that you can do for yourself, and those around you, is to stop, and be perfectly still.

Sometimes, the biggest, most important, and challenging task on your to-do list, is to do nothing.

You are and will always be more light than you are dark, Dear One.

You will always be more spirit/energy than you are physical.

There is more about you that is malleable, flexible, and changeable than is permanent.

There will always be more about you that you can change, Dear One, than you can not.

You can choose to believe anything that you want, Dear One.

Your beliefs are not like the color of your eyes or the length of your pinky toe.

They are not assigned to you, or determined for you, by genetics or some other external force in the universe, like a parent, a partner, a teacher, or a book.

(Although we know that sometimes it can feel that way)

They are a very personal choice that you make every single day.

And if yours are causing you to feel anything other than strong, empowered, and  good about yourself, please remember that it is well within your power to change them anytime you would like.

Forgive yourself ,Dear One, right now, for whatever it is, without exception.

Why?

Because you can’t beat yourself up and heal, make amends, or move forward in any positive or useful way until you do.

That’s why.

There are few things in this world that are worse for you, Dear One, that hold more potential for disaster, than moving forward in fear, than doing something that you truly don’t believe that you are capable of doing, than doing something that you are afraid to do, that you don’t want to do, that you believe is going to harm you.

And accepting your fears as reality, allowing them to define you, to restrict you, to tie you up and chain you down to one place, to one mindset, to one set of limiting beliefs, for the rest of your life, is one of them.

Step out onto the field today as a pitcher instead of a catcher, Dear One, and watch how the whole game changes right before your eyes.

The only way to experience change, Dear One, to get somewhere you have never been before, is to choose to do something you have never done before, to say something  you have never said before, to try something you have never tried before, to walk a path you have never walked before, to trust, have faith, be brave, leap.

If you want something to be different today, Dear One, do something differently.

We thought that you should know, Dear One, that regardless of what you have heard, read, or been told in the past, there are no second chances.

And there are no third, or fourth chances either.

There are only opportunities, and choices to be made.

And you will never run out of either.

We promise.

How do you achieve mastery of your own heart, Dear One?

You trust it.

If you want to build strength in your physical body, Dear One, you use it.

If you want to build strength in your emotional body, the same rule applies.

• If you want to feel stronger in love, love more.
• If you want to be more creative, create more.
• If you want to be more trusting, trust more.

Use whatever it is you want to strengthen, Dear One, more.
