It is not your responsibility to teach them, Dear One.
It is your responsibility to find your voice and use it.
And if others should hear your words and be motivated by them, learn from them, be inspired by them, or take-action as a result of them, then so be it.
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.
How hard you work does not determine the quality of your life Dear One.
How much joy you feel as you move through the actions of your day does.
Remember that as you head back to work today, and everyday after.
Please try and remember Dear One, before you decide what it is you are going to do next, that having a bad feeling is not a valid excuse for making a bad choice.
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.
Only an open heart can heal, Dear One.
When you decide that you want to change Dear One, that you want to let go of old patterns, and all (or at least some) of the things in your life that you know just don’t serve you anymore, try not to look at it as if you are making some dramatic decision that you suddenly have to give up something that you love, like, or just have grown accustomed to.
Because we know, just as well as you do, that that can be really, really, really, hard to do.
So instead, trying looking at it from a different perspective – trying seeing it for what it really is.
And what is that?
Deciding to make an empowered choice to pick something new, something healthy, something powerful that will serve you, heal you, and strengthen you, body, mind, and spirit.
Do that Dear One, focus on what you will gain from making a change and not on what you will be giving up, and you just might find the whole experience to be far simpler and much more pleasant than you ever imagined it could be.
While you are making progress along your path Dear One, making your way along your journey, which do you think is more important? The answers that you find or the questions that you ask along the way?
Have you ever noticed that your best, most impactful, most significant and meaningful moments, the ones that have influenced and taught you the most, were not had as a result of finding an answer?
All of those moments and experiences were actually found in your pursuit of an answer to a question.
Does that make sense?
Take a minute and ask yourself, what is the question that you have asked yourself that you are currently in pursuit of an answer to?
If you don’t know, take some time and think about it. Figure it out. Because once you do, it is going to greatly impact your perspective of the path that you are now currently on.
What we are trying to tell you Dear One, what we are trying to say is that you don’t need to put your time, energy, and attention into searching out better answers to help you make sense of your life.
What you want to do is to shift your focus and your attention away from a pursuit of answers, and begin to allow life, experience, the world and people around you to motivate you, to teach you, to inspire you to ask better questions.
It’s okay to feel scared, Dear One.
It’s okay to feel frightened.
It’s okay to feel arrogant, petty, angry, or jealous.
It is okay to be feeling whatever it is that you are feeling in any given moment.
Truly it is.
We are ok with you.
You should be too.
Allow yourself to experience the emotion.
Judgment is not a necessary part of the equation.
Remember Dear One, an emotion is something that you feel, it is not something that defines who you are.
Sometimes the most useful thing you can do Dear One, to be of service to them, is to take really good care of yourself, to honor yourself, to nurture yourself, to prioritize yourself, to enjoy yourself, to shine, and show them how it’s done.
