You are not lacking guidance Dear One. That you’ve got in spades.
What you are lacking is the confidence in yourself to believe it when you hear it – to trust it – to act on it.
Instead of asking for, searching for, seeking out more guidance – allow yourself to be courageous enough to act on that which you already know to be true.
Clarity comes with action Dear One. You’ll never know for sure until you try.
Hypocrisy: To say one thing and do another. There are very few people in this world that are not hypocrites at one time or another Dear One. And to this we say BRAVO! There are so many of you that say and talk about things that you wish you did, that you are wanting to do, but have not yet made not even the slightest effort to do them, and to this we say – OK.
Because we know it is coming. We know that so often talking about a thing precedes actually doing a thing. So if there are things you want to do, or beliefs you want to adopt, or causes you wish you were behind, we say – go for it – talk about them as if you are already doing them – Act as if you are virtuous if you want to be – Act as if you are loyal even if you are not yet. Act as if you are charitable even if your actions don’t yet match up with the sentiments – because if the intention is there and the desire is there then the action just might follow.
Don’t be so quick to judge another for what they have said and not yet done Dear One. Look instead at a person’s accomplishments, their successes, their virtues and if you must judge them, judge them based on those events. Judge them based on the best in them not on the worst in them.
Raise the roof on the possibilities that exist for them in their lives. Because as you know from experience, the expectations of others can and does have an influence on their behavior. So, if your expectations are going to have an influence on those around you, wouldn’t you rather that your influence be a positive one instead of a negative one?
So if you feel you must judge, we say go right ahead and judge – but don’t judge people based on the worst of them – make your judgments instead based on the very best of them – after-all isn’t that what you are hoping you will be judged on?
Make every excuse you can think of to feel good (or better) today, Dear One.
That is all.
Passion, inspiration, intuition, and joy are all “tools” that your soul uses Dear One, to speak to you to, to connect with you, to get your attention, to guide you, to motivate you, to encourage you to move in one direction or another, every single day.
So pay attention.
When you get a hit, big or small, of any of them, it means that you have just stumbled across something that your soul does not want you to miss, that is worthy of pursuit, of further investigation, that is, in one way or another, in alignment with who you really are.
Our wish for you today Dear One, is that you will allow yourself to break with tradition, to take a break from your norms, from what is comfortable and familiar to you, from your habitual thoughts, patterns, behaviors, and beliefs and venture into the unknown — going where your heart, and opportunity leads you — without fear, without hesitation, without question. And that you be brave, confident, trusting, and gentle on yourself as you do.
You can always choose to turn back if you would like, and return to familiar patterns, familiar behaviors, and familiar beliefs. You can always choose to revert back to what is known, anytime you would like – if you want to.
So you’ve really got nothing to lose.
Will you do it?
The universe is taking its lead from you Dear One.
The moment that you decide that your health, your well-being, your piece of mind, and your happiness, are your top priorities – it will prioritize them too.
Sometimes the most powerful thing you can say Dear One, is I’m sorry.
Sometimes the most powerful thing you can be, is forgiving.
Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do, is let go.
You don’t need to change your reality to begin to turn things around, Dear One — just your mind.
Take notice, Dear One.
If you are not doing one Dear One, you are doing the other.
The best way to take care of your heart Dear One, to strengthen it, and protect it, is to open it, trust it, and use it, as often as you possibly can.
Closing it off, shutting it down, or trying to shelter it from unwanted feelings will only serve to weaken it in the end, cutting you off from your source, leaving you far more vulnerable to hurt, deception, and negativity, than you would be otherwise.
So the next time you are in a situation where you feel like your heart needs protecting, remember, there is only one thing that you need to do; open it wider.
