Your life can be as big or as small as you want it to be, Dear One.  You decide which with every choice that you make.

You are smart.  You have good instincts.  Trust them.

There is a big difference between prudence and fear – between caution and fear.  You know what the difference is.

Only you can decide which you are going to let guide you and influence you most along your journey.

In those moments when you are hesitant and unsure of what to do next, of what is holding you back, ask yourself; is it prudence or is it fear?

You are the only one who can know for sure.

Big or small, Dear One.  It’s up to you to decide.

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.

If you want things to be different today, Dear One, you’ve got to do things differently.

It’s your life, Dear One.

Why not do something beautiful with it today?

• You are powerful creator, Dear One.
• You are capable of doing anything that you set your mind to
• You have the ability to heal others, as well as yourself, with your choices, words and actions
• You have a great capacity for compassion and forgiveness
• Your life matters
• Your contributions make an impact
• You are worthy of great love

Our criticism of you, Dear One, is that you don’t agree with us, you don’t yet believe all of these things to be true about yourself.

And we can assure you, that they most definitely are.

Do you think you could work on that?

The stronger choice, the wiser choice, the more powerful choice, Dear One, will always be the one that moves you closer to that which is wanted instead of away from that which is unwanted.

Does that help?

You can not change the past, Dear One.
You can’t undo that which has been done.
It’s just not possible.

It is not within your power to do so.

Isn’t that great news?

So you can finally let yourself off the hook and give yourself permission to stop wasting your time, energy and effort wishing, hoping, and praying that things could have been different.

But what is within your power to change, is the way that you feel about an event, circumstance, or experience from you past.

In any moment you can change what it means to you, you can change how you feel about it, you can change its significance in your life, and most importantly, you can change how you are going to choose to respond to it.

Why not make that moment this one?

What if, instead of being discouraged by what is, Dear One, you got excited about what could be?

If you are feeling tight, restricted, tense, frustrated, boxed in, or cut off, Dear One, it is very likely that it is because you are living a life that is entirely too small for you.

The remedy to this malady is a simple one:

• Remember that there is no limit to what is possible for you, no box you must fit in to, no plan you must adhere to, no path you must follow.
• Take a deep breath.  Expand your lungs. Unclench your fists hands.  Widen your eyes. Open your mind.  Open you heart.  And trust, believe what we are telling you is true.
• And then dream bigger, and allow your world to expand.

Having a bad day, Dear One?

Trust us, it won’t last.  Experience has already taught you that it won’t, it never does.

The quicker that you can remember that, the quicker that you can get back to focusing your attention elsewhere; on that which is working, on those things that you love, that bring you joy, that make you laugh, that inspire you, that trigger in you feelings of gratitude, hope, excitement, love, and anticipation, the quicker it will pass.
