You can’t punish yourself for making a mistake, misjudgment, or misstep Dear One, and come back into alignment, return to your flow, make it right again, at the same time.
You’re going to have to choose, one or the other.
You’re going to have to decide which is more important to you; returning to well-being and restoring balance, or remaining self-critical.
What’s it going to be?
Why bother doing all that you can Dear One, when you can get by doing just enough?
Why bother doing the right the thing when no one really seems to care or to even be paying attention?
Why bother trusting, and making the harder, braver, more challenging choice when you’ve got something to lose?
Why bother putting in the extra effort to be thoughtful, generous, loving, persistent, patient, forgiving, and kind when it is not requested, required or expected?
Because what you put out is what you get back.
That’s why.
If you are not being yourself Dear One, who cares what they think of you, who cares if they like you?
What would be the point really of getting someone to like some person that you are pretending to be?
You want to feel more powerful, Dear One?
Then choose to think, speak and act from one of the most powerful places within you — your truth.
Not theirs, yours.
Make the decision in your heart first, commit to taking action on its behalf, and then watch as the universe yields to it.
Contrary to how it might feel at times, you should know that it is you, Dear One, your heart, your beliefs, thoughts, words, and actions that are commanding the powers of universe, and not the other way around.
You have become so accustomed to struggling Dear One, that you have come to believe that it is a natural, unavoidable part of your life. But we are here to remind you that life is not meant to be a struggle.
Take full responsibility for your choices, all of them, good and bad, let go of that which does not serve you and accept what is and you can put an end to your struggling.
But remember Dear One, that responsibility and blame are two very different things.
Don’t blame yourself or others, for what is. Struggling persists when you resist what is.
Blame is resistant, damaging, accusatory, and segregating. Responsibility is accepting, forgiving, allowing and inclusive.
When you take responsibility for yourself, your environment, your circumstances, your choices and stop blaming yourself or anyone else, for the place you now find yourself standing, you will greatly reduce the amount of struggle in your life Dear one, and by extension, you will be greatly reducing the amount of struggle in the world as well.
A worthy pursuit, don’t you think?
We are all better off because of it, Dear One.
And we wanted you to know it.
So, thank you.
Don’t fight your heart Dear One, follow it.
Lay down your sword.
There are some battles that are just not worth winning.
You have complete freedom of choice Dear One, when it comes to your thoughts.
You are free to choose to think absolutely any thought that you want to;
So remember, if you don’t like the one that you are thinking right now, if it is not bringing you pleasure, joy, contentment, or relief, you are free to choose another.
Your thoughts determine your reality Dear One, they impact the quality of every single experience that you have, so please don’t be so quick to dismiss the significant power that this freedom affords you.
EITHER choose to get excited, be excited Dear One, for the arrival of that which you are wanting most.
Don’t give up on it. Don’t give your attention to its absence. Don’t stand still and wait for it to get here.
Keep moving, keep choosing, keep putting one foot in front of the other, with excitement, anticipation, confidence and certainty – towards it, consciously and enthusiastically holding it as your dominant point of attraction.
OR you can choose to move forward with longing, apprehension, worry, doubt, frustration, and fear instead – and make that your dominant point of attraction if you would like.
The choice is yours to make.
