Accepting who you are Dear One, understanding, trusting, believing, that you are energy, consciousness, a divine spirit having a physical experience, that you are an essential part of all that is, that you connected to everything and everyone, that you are a powerful creator responsible for the expansion of the universe, changes nothing.

• Who you are will remain the same
• Your face will not change
• Your gifts and talents will remain exactly as they are
• Your world will still be round
• You will still wake up everyday, in your physical body, and need to tend to your physical needs

Accept who you really are and nothing will be different, except for your perception of what is, your belief of what can be, your understanding of your connection to all things, your awareness of how you are creating your world, and your experience of everything in it.

Everything will remain exactly the same Dear One, and nothing will ever be the same again.

If you truly want change Dear One, you’re going to have to choose it.

There is nothing that any force in the universe can do to help you, if you are not ready to do that.

Acknowledge every choice that you made yesterday Dear One, where you did not follow your heart, where you did not trust yourself, where you did not trust your instincts.

And instead of feeling badly about it, forgive yourself for doing so, right now, in this moment, without hesitation – with compassion, understanding, and loving kindness.

(Yes, you are worthy of all 3.)

Make amends by holding on to that awareness and by doing your best to choose differently today.

Your time is your own Dear One.

You are the only one who decides how you spend it and who you spend it with.

• If you are not happy with how you are spending your time, choose differently.
• If you are not happy with who you are spending your time with, choose differently.

A different person – A different place – A different activity.

A different mindset – A different perspective –  A different attitude.

In every conceivable circumstance that exists Dear One, a choice is always available to you.

If you want things to be different, you’ve got to choose differently.

It’s really the only choice that you’ve got.

You can choose to believe that you can handle it all Dear One, or you can choose to believe that you can’t.

Whichever choice you make, you’ll be right.

So, what’s it going to be?

You are most powerful as a creator Dear One, when you are enjoying the experience of imagining things just as you would like them to be.

Much more so then when you are fretting about the details of how you are going to try and make it all happen.

Your job as a creator is to imagine, enjoy, choose (act), allow, and imagine some more.

It is the universes job to take care of all the rest.

If you want to do your job well today Dear One, stop worrying about the details and allow yourself to get back to the task of imagining all that you want and enjoying yourself in the process, as quickly as you possibly can.

Remember, you’re on the clock.

If you don’t want it anymore Dear One, if you don’t like it anymore, stop choosing it, (over, and over, and over again).

You don’t need to push it away, shove it out, or try to force it out of sight and out of mind to get rid of it.  In fact, you really don’t need to exert any effort at all.

You simply need to stop choosing it.

Remember that you aren’t just choosing with your actions. You are choosing with your thoughts, with your beliefs, and with the focus of your attention.

We know that there are so many things in this life that you are looking forward to Dear One, that you want to experience, hold-on to, and create more of for yourself, so why give even one more minute of your attention to anything else?

When you doubt yourself Dear One, when you ignore your heart, your instincts, intuitions and hunches,  it is essentially the same as choosing to ignore the directions being given to you by the GPS system in your car.

What you want is your desired destination, and your instincts are the turn-by-turn directions being served up to you by your higher-self to get you there.

As you know very well from experience by now, there are an unlimited number of paths available to you that will get you to where you want to go.  There is no “right” path and there is no “wrong” path.

BUT there are more and less direct paths that you can follow.

Listen to your heart Dear One, follow your instincts, trust your intuition, and act on your hunches and you can proceed confidently knowing  that you are traveling the most direct route possible from where you are to where you want to be.

Your world can be dominated by good feelings Dear One, by pleasure and joy and contentment and balance and love, if only you would allow yourself to experience these things without the belief that you must first pay a high price for them.

There is no posture or practice or mantra or diet or book or teacher or regimen that you must first master in order to be joyful, in order to be happy or peaceful or secure or content or compassionate or forgiving or to live a more conscious life.

The only requirement is that allow yourself to feel good.

And the surest way to do that Dear One is to focus your attention on that which makes you happy/feel good, on that which is possible, on that which is right, on that which you desire, on that which makes you smile, laugh, anticipate the best, on that which you are grateful for.

Yoga and meditation and exercise and a healthy diet, and spiritual practice are all ways that can help you to achieve balance in your mental,  physical and spiritual life Dear One.  And that balance will help you to feel good, to stay healthy, to feel strong and be more confident in yourself, in your body, in your ability to handle any situation, in your capacity for trust.

But they are just a means to an end.

The answer that you are looking for Dear One is simple –  Make choices that make you feel good.

Why should you reach out, open yourself up, be vulnerable, risk rejection, take a chance, cross boundaries, follow your heart, say what you feel, and connect Dear One?

The answer is simple.

Because it feels so good to do so.
