There are some things Dear One, that no matter how hard you try, you will never be able to do.

•  You will never be perfect.
•  You will never be able to make them perfect

You have our word on that.

So you can stop trying.

Does that help?

Your life will change the moment that you do Dear One.

And not a moment before.

Freedom is a state of mind Dear One.  It is an attitude, a feeling, a way of life.

It is not something that you have to wait to be granted, work to achieve, or receive permission to be.

You are free Dear One.

• Free to make up your mind about anything, anyway that you want.
• Free to change your mind about anything, anytime that you want.
• Free to experience the world from any perspective that you choose.

We implore you to remember that freedom is a state of mind, an emotion, a lens through which you view your life.

Freedom is not something that is granted by anyone else.

It is something that you claim for yourself.

You and you alone decide when you are going to choose to believe this, to embrace it, to live it, and to be free.

You can never undo that which has been done Dear One.

Once you have had an experience, for better or for worse, it is yours forever.

And regardless of how deeply you wish it could be so, no amount of regret, guilt, remorse, anger, self-pity, self-loathing, sadness, or hatred is ever going to change that.

But that does not mean that there is nothing you can do about it.

At any moment that you choose Dear One, you can decide to change the way that you feel about it, change the way you think about it, change what it means to you, or change its significance or importance in your life.

And changing that,  changes everything.

Just a reminder Dear One, that you absolutely can, do or be or have, every single thing that you want in your life, regardless of how great the distance may appear to be from where you are now to that which you are wanting – so don’t worry about it.

Believe it or not, adding the emotion of worry into the mix is not going to make things better.   Worrying won’t actually serve you in any positive or constructive way or help you to move towards that which you are wanting any faster, or with greater ease.

In fact – the exact opposite of that is true.  Worry will only serve to slow you down, and hold you apart from that which you are wanting longer than if there was no worry present.  But we suspect that you already knew that.

You can choose to focus your attention on, and take notice of, those things that inspire feelings of worry in you as you travel along your path or, you can choose to take notice of and focus your attention on those thing  that inspire feelings of joy, gratitude, anticipation, excitement and hope instead.

While technically you can worry your way to joy, accomplishment and success Dear One, because you are bound to let at least a few good feelings sneak in here and there along the way,  we wouldn’t recommend it.  We promise you that the journey will be a much more pleasant, pleasurable and expedient one if you choose to leave the worrying out of it.

To worry or not to worry?  That is the question

And the answer, is up to you.

Did you know that it takes just as much effort to create a connection to source Dear One, as it does to lose one?

If you should find yourself in a state of disconnection, please don’t be intimidated or discouraged by the effort that you think it will take to reconnect.

Because the truth is that the only effort that is required is the effort that it takes for you to become aware of your state of disconnection and make up your mind to flip the switch.

Regardless of how scared you are Dear One, how out of control, lost or chaotic you feel, how far off course you think you have traveled, you are and will always only ever be one choice, one breath, one thought away from your center.

Always.

It is so much easier to make a decision Dear One, when you are clear on what it is that you want, on what direction you want to be moving in.

Choosing is not meant to be a guessing game.

So, if you are stuck, if you are unclear as to what choice you want to make next, what action you want to take next, how you want to respond, here are a few simple questions to help you to figure it out.

Ask yourself:

• Do I want to love more or less in this moment?
• Do I want to trust more or less in this moment?
• Do I want to connect more or less in this moment?
• Do I want to be more or less compassionate in this moment?
• Do I want to be more or less brave in this moment?
• Do I want to be more or less creative in this moment?
• Do I want to be more or less confident in this moment?
• Do I want to be more or less trustworthy in this moment?
• Do I want to play it safe or take a risk in this moment?

Does that help?

Are you ready to choose now, Dear One?

No matter how badly you feel, no matter how badly you made them feel, no matter how much you punish yourself, or those around you, regret will not solve, fix, change or improve anything for the better, Dear One.

It never has and it never will.

Regret won’t help you or them to forget, forgive, connect, improve, repair, restore, heal, or move on.

But forgiveness will – hope will – courage will – faith will – strength, love, kindness, and compassion will.

What are some good reasons for you quit, Dear One?

Frustration, fear, insecurity, discomfort, uncertainty, anger, sadness, doubt, distrust, jealousy, anguish, ambiguity, or despair.

None of these qualify.

So what does?

Any reason that stems from a source of strength, determination, confidence, honesty, clarity, or complete understanding.

Any reason that serves to consciously and intentionally bring you closer to that which is wanted, and not simply farther away from that which is not.

What do you think now?

Are your reasons good enough?
