Don’t fight your heart Dear One, follow it.

Lay down your sword.

There are some battles that are just not worth winning.

You can be afraid or you can trust, Dear One.

But you cannot do both at once.

Do you believe yourself to be a victim of the circumstances of your life Dear One, or the creator of them? 

Take a minute to think about it before you answer, because your reply will pretty much determine the course of the rest of your day, your week, your month, your year, your life.

Do you want to know how you can know for sure Dear One, in any situation, if the choice you are about to make is the compassionate choice?

We will tell you.

The compassionate choice is always, without exception, the loving choice – loving to yourself and loving to them.

The compassionate choice will never make you choose between one or the other.

So if you are struggling with what to do Dear One, if you are wanting to make the compassionate choice, but you are finding yourself torn between choosing to be loving toward yourself OR loving towards them, then you can know for sure that the choice you are about to make is not the compassionate one, and you should allow yourself the freedom to choose again.

Why are we always encouraging you to look for the best in every situation Dear One?

Because doing so feels so much better than not doing so.

And the better you feel, the better things start to get.

That’s why.

If you want things to be different today Dear One, you’ve got to do things differently.

You can’t always control your feelings Dear One.

But you can always choose to think a different thought and change them anytime you would like.

Some may call this denying what is.

But we would call it, getting yourself into a better feeling place so that you can more effectively deal with what is.

There is no rule anywhere that says that you have to feel badly when dealing with a bad situation.

• What we know that you don’t Dear One, is the extent to which you are capable of healing yourself.

• What we know that you don’t is the infinite beauty, power, strength and resiliency of your soul.

• What we know that you don’t is that you are amazing, powerful, bright, and beautiful, just as you are.

• What we know that you don’t is just how capable, strong, fierce, caring and compassionate you are, have always been, and always will be.

• What we know that you don’t is that there is so much more to you than you have allowed yourself to believe, to experience.

• What we know that you don’t is that everything is going to be ok, that every single thing is going to work out.

• What we know that you don’t know is that only force in the universe capable of stopping you from accomplishing anything is you.

We know the full extent of what you are capable of. We know just how far you can go.  We know just how wonderful your life could be, if you knew what we know Dear One.

And now, you know it too.

• Thank you for being a good friend
• Thank you for loving them as only you can
• Thank you for forgiving, letting go and allowing yourself to heal
• Thank you for taking a risk, being brave, speaking up
• Thank you for telling the truth, revealing yourself, sharing your story
• Thank you for doing something that you have never done before
• Thank you for going somewhere that you have never gone before
• Thank you for using your life to create
• Thank you for every moment that you choose to live with an open heart and an open mind

We are all better off because of it, Dear One.

And we wanted you to know it.

So, thank you.

Friend, boyfriend, lover, wife, spouse, partner, neighbor, sister, brother, cousin, best friend, confidant, significant other, soul mate, buddy, companion, associate, cohort or chum. 

You have lots of ways of defining, categorizing and labeling your relationships Dear One.  And we realize that these measures can be greatly varied, intricately complicated, highly emotional, and hold a great deal of significance for you.   We know that they strongly influence and in some cases totally determine how you act towards someone, how you think, feel and react around them, and your expectations of them.   We get it. We really do understand.

But from where we are standing there truly is only one measure by which all relationships are defined, categorized and labeled — and that measure Dear One, is the amount of love shared.

As we see it, how you choose to define a relationship is so much less significant than the amount of love that you choose to bring to it and allow yourself to experience within it.

So, what is in a name Dear One?

As far as we are concerned, as long as there is love there, not a whole hell of a lot.
