• Don’t say you can’t before you try
• Don’t say they won’t before you ask
• Don’t say it’s impossible just because no one else has ever done it before
• Don’t give up before you give it all you’ve got

These are all just different ways for you to exercise lazy, Dear One.

And we don’t think that being lazy is a good enough reason for you to not have everything that you want.

The only meaning of life that matters, Dear One, is the meaning that you give it.

What are some good reasons for you to quit, Dear One?

Frustration, fear, insecurity, discomfort, uncertainty, anger, sadness, doubt, distrust, jealousy, anguish, ambiguity, pain, or despair.

None of these qualify.

So what does?

Any reason that stems from a source of strength, determination, confidence, honesty, clarity, or complete understanding.

Any reason that serves to consciously and intentionally bring you closer to that which is wanted, and not simply farther away from that which is not.

Does that help?

They are going see in you, Dear One, what they want to see in you, what they need to see in you, what they are ready to see in you, what they are looking for, and nothing more.

And there is not a whole lot that you can do about that.

Isn’t that wonderful!

Now that you know that you don’t have to worry so much about trying to make a good impression, about trying to please them, or impress them, or win them over. You can just be you, and instead put all of your energy into doing what you do best, into doing what brings you the greatest amount of joy,  into creating, sharing, and enjoying your life the way that you want to.

Remember, Dear One, regardless of how scared, chaotic, lost, or out of control you feel, that your center, your home,  is only one slow, deep breath away.

And we are there.

Always.

Making the decision to be brave, Dear One, to act bravely, is far from a risky decision.

In fact, it is probably one of the safest decisions that you can make.

Why?

Because being brave requires you to trust, and in order to trust you must connect with your heart, listen to what it has to say, and allow it to guide you.

What could be safer than that?

You want to play it safe, Dear One?

Connect, trust, and take the leap.

Start by choosing to believe with absolute certainty that everything is going to be okay.

And then, act accordingly.

Because the truth is, Dear One, that it will be.

Why hold on to a grudge, Dear One, when there are so many other more pleasant things out there that you can choose to hold on to instead?

Your expectations are a moving target, Dear One.

They can shift as frequently as your needs….. as your moods.

• When you need more – you expect more.
• When you need less – you tend to expect less, and be much more forgiving.

Expectations change – often.  So be careful not to put too much emphasis or importance on having them met.

Eliminate them all together, and you will be eliminating one of the greatest sources of disappointment from your life.

Why beat yourself up with should-haves, would-haves, and could-haves, Dear One, when what you didn’t do then, is, and always will be, so much less important than what you choose to do now.
