On: Assessing risk
Know that there is no greater risk that you can take, Dear One, than not following your heart.
Know that there is no greater risk that you can take, Dear One, than not following your heart.
There is no such thing as impossible Dear One. There are only those things that you have not yet seen come to pass.
There is a huge difference between never and not yet.
Practice saying “not yet” instead of “never” and everything changes.
Never closes doors.
Not yet blows them wide open.
One of the most destructive things you can do to yourself, Dear One, is to do something that you believe is wrong for yourself.
Know that it will always be better for you to follow your heart, and run the risk of unintentionally being wrong, than to ignore it, and intentionally do something that feels wrong to it.
Unlike what many of you may believe, jealousy Dear One, has very little to do with lack, or wanting, or shortage, or envy, or greed, or want, and everything to do with powerlessness, with believing yourself to be powerless, not in control, a victim of life, and of your circumstances.
Jealousy, Dear One, is something that only happens, that only can happen, when you truly believe that you are not the creator of your world.
People that are aware, that know what they are truly capable of, people that take full and total responsibility for their lives, that believe that they are the creators of their lives, that believe that they are responsible for everything that they have, and everything that they don’t have, and everything that does and does not happen to them, really have no need or use for jealousy.
Make sense?
We can see that you have a strong desire to live a more authentic life, Dear One, and yet… you don’t.
You allow your fear of rejection, being alone, being wrong, being made fun of, disappointing, being less than perfect, or failing, stop you from trying, stop you from speaking up, stop you from being the real you.
Well, its time to put to an end to that, Dear One.
It’s time for you to join the ranks of the fallible.
Your victories are YOUR victories, Dear One.
Celebrate them, each and every one, no matter how big or small.
Don’t compare them to someone else’s first; before you decide if they are worthy of celebration.
Especially not to those who don’t share your values; to those who may not find valuable those things that YOUR heart values most.

Love is nothing to be afraid of, Dear One.
Love is not scary. Love cannot hurt you.
It is your worry that it won’t be returned, your fear of losing it, your high expectations of it, your perceived lack of it that it causing you to suffer.
Do you want to know how to make all of those things go away?
The answer is simple.
Love more.
Fear doesn’t heal, Dear One.
But faith does.
If you need a nap, Dear One, take one.
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.
