In one form or another Dear One, this question seems to come up for you a lot.

• What is the meaning of this?
• What was the meaning of that?
• What does it all mean?

And no matter how many different ways you ask the question, the answer is always going to be the same.

The meaning is always going to be whatever you decide that it is.

What it means to you Dear One, can only be determined by you, and nobody else.

So may we suggest that the next time the question arises, that you ask yourself this instead:

• What meaning am I going to choose to give to this?

Doing so will ensure that you always have a definite answer to your question and, it will spare you from experiencing a great deal of unnecessary uncertainty waiting for an answer.

Everyday might not present you with an obvious opportunity do something great Dear One.

But everyday will present you with a great opportunity to be present.

And today we want to strongly encourage you to take it.

Because it is only when you are fully present that any level of greatness can ever be achieved.

If you want things to be different Dear One, if you want to think differently, feel differently, connect, relate, and contribute differently, and begin to have a different experience of your life, you are going to have to start believing and choosing differently.

Hoping, wanting, wishing and praying alone are just not going to do it.

You are not a disappointment Dear One.  We are not disappointed in you.  We never have been, and we never will be. Ever.

Why?

Because we have no expectations of you.  We have only love, acceptance, compassion, support, guidance, and applause for you.

We require nothing of you, nothing from you.  And we never will.  You simply can’t let us down.

We don’t have a list of rules that we need you to follow, or a set of demands that we need you to meet, before we will give you our love.

It is already yours.  All of it.  We couldn’t love you more than we do right now, even if we tried.

So if that was one of your worries Dear One, if that was one of your fears, that you were not, that you are not, living up to our expectations, up to spirits expectations, of what you are meant to do, be, have, or accomplish in this life, you can at long last, let that one go, once and for all.

If you take responsibility Dear One, there will be no one to blame.

Are you ready for that?

If someone is not living up to your expectations of them Dear One, instead of being disappointed, instead of trying to change them, instead of trying to fix them, instead of trying to force yourself to not care in order to put an end to your unhappiness, why not simply change your expectation of them instead?

Now, wouldn’t that be easier?

Please remember Dear One, that having a bad feeling is not a valid excuse for making a bad choice.

Thank you!

Why struggle, when you can allow Dear One?

Why pretend when you can be truthful?

Why fight when you can accomplish so much more by connecting?

Why be hard on yourself, when you can choose to be loving, caring, nurturing, and supportive of yourself instead?

You can’t stop all hurts from ever reaching you Dear One, but you can stop making them worse for yourself when they do.

What is it that you are going to choose to talk about today Dear One?

• The things that you love or the things that you hate?
• The things that you have or the things that you don’t?
• The things that make you feel strong or the things that make you feel weak?
• The parts of you that are hurting or the parts that are healing?
• The things that are wrong with the world, or the things you can do to make it better?

The story that you tell is the story that you create.

So, think first and decide before you speak Dear One, what it is that you want to create for yourself today.
