It is OK to move quickly through the paces of your life, Dear One – but know that it is not necessary.  No great benefit will come to you from rushing.  You will experience no faster advancement along your path.

The only thing that rushing will accomplish is for you to feel hurried in your experiences.  If you like the feeling/the experience of being hurried, then by all means, you can continue on at this pace.  But, if you would like a more savory experience of your life, slow down.  You will not miss out on anything by doing so.  We promise you that.  But you do run the risk of missing out on much, when you rush.

Scream, if you need to scream today, Dear One.

Cry, if you need to cry.

Lie, run away, compete, prove a point, be petty, be jealous, be mad, be silent.

Do, be, say whatever you need to, Dear One.

Just don’t quit.

Just don’t quit.

^^

No one, and we mean absolutely no one is perfect, Dear One.  And yet – at the same time, you are all absolute perfection.

This is not just another one of life’s contradictions that you are meant to accept and move on.  It is simply an answer from two different vantage points.

From your physical perspective, when you align your thoughts with your physical self, perfection is not possible.  People can deceive themselves with an illusion and think that it is attainable, but we can assure you that it is not. Preferences are real Dear One, perfection does not exist.

BUT when you choose to align yourself with your spiritual identity, with your spiritual self, then yes, you are perfect – all of you – each and everyone one of you is a perfect soul, a glorious spark of the divine, a piece of all that is.

You are both physical and spiritual at once, Dear One. Don’t try so hard to keep these parts of yourself separated from one another.  Open yourself up so that you can see/share/experience both realities simultaneously – your spiritual perfection and your physical imperfections.  You are spectacular any way you look at it.

Allow both of these identities to come into focus at once and live your life authentically, auspiciously and fully awake.

Embrace both your spiritual and physical self at once and you will see a new world emerge before you eyes, boundaries will shift and limitations will disappear.

Regret is an easy emotion to latch on to and embrace, Dear One.  Costly, but easy.

It serves to keep you rooted, in the past, attached to a moment that has come and gone.
It maintains the familiar, regardless of how uncomfortable, painful or damaging it may be.

But Forgiveness is hard. Forgiveness takes courage because it moves you beyond where you are, beyond what is known to you, beyond what is familiar to you.

Forgiveness releases – allows – heals – requires you to trust, love, and let go.  It serves to bring you back into the present and frees you from emotions, thoughts, and connections that are keeping you tethered to the past, be it 5 years ago, 5 days ago or 5 minutes ago.

Regret holds on, binds you, and keeps you cemented in one place.

Forgiveness releases, frees you, and allows you to move ahead.

So now you know.

The people, circumstances, events, and relationships in your life are not the problem, Dear One.

It is your reaction to them, your expectations of them, your behavior towards them, and your beliefs about them that is causing most of your discontent.

Isn’t that wonderful news?

You don’t have to wait, hope, pray or push for them to change in order for things to get better.

You can change you, at your own pace, in your time, however and whenever you are ready to do so, and start to make things better any time.

Even right now if you wanted to.

Today is the day, Dear One, to stop asking for permission – to stop waiting for permission and begin behaving like the powerful, divine creator that you are.

This is your journey, to do with as you please.

So… what are you going to do with it today?

How do you know if you should let it go, Dear One?

Ask yourself; is investing your energy in that emotion, in that relationship, in that exchange, in that conflict, in that fight, a worth wild investment for you?

That is how you know.

Don’t wait for permission to do what you need to do, Dear One.

Don’t wait for someone else to tell you that is OK to put yourself first.

Don’t wait until you’ve got everything else under control before making yourself a priority, before taking care of you, before doing what you love.

Those people over there, the happy ones, the rested ones, the ones taking care of themselves, feeling good, enjoying themselves, doing what they love to do, they didn’t wait.

And that is the only difference between them and you.

Choosing to hold on, Dear One, just may be the choice that is holding you back.

Something that is right for you, that is a vibration match to you, will move right along with you.

If you have to stop, stand still or move backwards repeatedly or for extended periods of time in order to keep it, if you feel like you are having to hold-on tighter and tighter to keep from losing it, you may want to consider the possibility that it is no longer right for you, and that it may be time for you to let it go and move on without it.

Don’t try to make your life bigger and better, Dear One.

Trust, let go, connect, find any excuse that you can to feel good, and allow it to expand instead.

Doing it this way requires far less effort and will yield you far better results.

Try it and see!
