Be patient, Dear One.

• Not because it is a virtue
• Not because we are asking you to
• Not because it is the adult, polite, enlightened or spiritual thing to do

We want you to be patient Dear One, because the energy of impatience only serves to hold you apart from all of the things that you have been wanting, needing, hoping, and praying for.

Raging, fearing, criticizing or whining about what is, Dear One, is about as useful as shaking your fist at the rain during a rainstorm is.

No matter how much effort you exert, no matter how much you wish it wasn’t so, no matter how unjust you think it might be, there is really nothing that you can do to stop the water from falling from the sky.

But what you can do is choose how you are going to react to it.

You can stay inside if you want to. You can go outside with an umbrella, a rain coat, rubber boots, or all three. You can run around the block without your clothes on, or you can choose to go out in your favorite suede coat. You can dance in a puddle or take a walk with a lightening rod.

You can’t stop the rain, Dear One, but you can choose how you are going to experience it.

Keep looking ahead Dear One, no matter what.

Where you are going matters so much more than where you have been.

You are not here to evolve into a person that is worthy of love, Dear One.

You are already worthy.

You were born that way.

You are here to evolve into a person that knows it.

And we are here to help.

Making tough decisions is a part of life, Dear One.

Living is choosing. By now, you have had more then enough experiences to know that this is true.

Life can force you to make tough decisions at any time, with or without fair warning.

• Choose with your heart, connected to your source, open to the limitless possibilities and wisdom of the universe, and your choice, regardless of what you decide, will be an empowering one for you.
• Choose with your head, based on logic, expectations and experiences grounded in the past, rooted in fear, scarcity or resistance, and disconnected from your source, and your choice, regardless of what you decide, will be a limiting one for you.

Hopefully knowing this will help make the process of making your tough decision a little less so.

Do you want to know how to transform even the most complicated situation into a simple one?   We’ll tell you.

When considering all of the possible ways in which you could choose to respond, choose the simplest one.

That is all there is to it!

The best and only way to create simplicity from complexity, Dear One, is to choose it.

• There is more peace in the world when you are peaceful.
• There is more chaos in the world when you are chaotic.
• There is more hatred in the world when you hate.
• There is more generosity in world when you are generous.
• There is more compassion in the world when you are compassionate.
• There is more tolerance in the world when you are tolerant.

What do you want your contribution to be today, Dear One?

Did you know that being afraid will not actually protect you, Dear One?  That it is no safer than being confident? That both require the same amount of effort and consciousness to maintain?

P.S.

Feeling fear and being afraid are not the same thing.

Trust us, Dear One, they won’t stop loving you if you say “No” when you need to.

We know it can be tough to do when you so very much want to help, when you so very much want what’s best for them.

When someone that you love is telling you that they are in need, that they are hurting, scared, or confused, their attention is going to be mostly focused on themselves; on their discomfort and pain, on figuring out how they can relieve it as quickly as is possible, which is completely understandable.

But here’s what they are not telling you; they still want what’s best for you too.

Let your actions be motivated by love today, Dear One, above all else.

Why?

Because we said so.

And because doing so will feel a whole lot better than not doing so.

P.S.

Choosing a positive conscious motivation at the start of your day will prevent your actions from being motivated by negative unconscious ones, such as fear, distrust, anxiety, guilt, sadness, revenge, etc.
