If you can’t find a way to feel good about the situation you’re in Dear One, to feel hope, see potential, or the light at the end of tunnel, stop.

 Just stop.

 Don’t try and fix it.  Don’t try and change it.  Don’t try and fight it, avoid it, get around it, or out of it.  Don’t do anything.

 Not until you find something about it, or anything else that you can feel good about first.

 Feel good, and then take action.  Always in that order.

 To do it any other way is only asking for trouble.

Clinging to fear when you are in uncertain or unfamiliar circumstances Dear One, will serve you in much the same way that turning off the faucet will when you are most in need of a drink.

Fear cuts you off, from your source, from well-being, from the support, guidance, energy and wisdom that you need, just when you need it the most.

Trust in a universe that exists to support you, opens you up and connects you to your source, connects you to the unlimited support, guidance, energy and wisdom that is available to you at all times.

Fear cuts you off, and holds you in darkness. Trust opens you up and lets in the light.

The more you allow yourself to trust in the face of fear Dear One, the more you will be opening up the faucet. The more open your faucet is, the less you will have to be fearful of.

When choosing your travel partners Dear One, whether it be those that will walk with you for a moment, a mile (or many) or a lifetime, remember this – No one can propel you forward or hold you back, but you. So you can now officially take that responsibility off of their shoulders.

You and you alone are responsible for the direction that your life is headed at any given moment.  So you can stop giving them all the credit, or all the blame for the direction you now find yourself moving.

Others can influence you, encourage you, assist you, teach you, inspire you, order you, belittle you, frighten you, attempt to weigh you down or manipulate you even, to move you in this direction or that direction – but the choice for which direction you choose to travel is ultimately yours and yours alone.

Always has been.  Always will be.

If you are still giving your attention to the problem Dear One, the solution will continue to elude you.

You say you want things to be different and yet you continue to bring the same attitude, beliefs, mindset, patterns, and expectations to the table each day. How can you continue to think, feel, speak, and act the same way and expect your experience to change?

Your circumstances are not what is holding you back Dear One.

You are.

• Choice is your gift
• Connection is your cure
• Consciousness is your spotlight
• Your heart is your guide
• Thoughts are your fuel
• Desire is your driver
• Love is your pleasure
• Happiness is your choice

You’ve got everything that you need to get the job done, Dear One.

Now all you’ve got to do is remember to pull the right tool out and use it when you need it.

No one can take more from you Dear One, than you willingly give to them, be it intentionally or unintentionally.

Your depletion has absolutely nothing to do with them, with their treatment of you, or their demands on you and your time, and absolutely everything to do with your treatment of you, your demands on yourself, and on your time.

If you are feeling depleted Dear One, taken advantage of, knocked around, and no longer in control of your own time and energy, look no further than the reflection in the mirror to see the face of the only one responsible for making you feel that way.

If you feel as if you have lost your balance Dear One, if you feel as if you are having trouble getting both of your feet planted firmly on the ground, the single most important thing that you can do for yourself in this moment,  is to find it again.

How can you do that?

By asking yourself the following before every step that you take, and answering it honestly:

Will this choice, will this action, will this conversation, will this program, will this meal, will this purchase, will this person, will this decision, bring me closer to achieving a state of balance in my life or carry me farther away from it?

That’s how.

We want you look on the bright side today Dear One.

Why?

Because doing so will feel so much better than not doing so, and we want you to feel better.

That’s why.

Making a decision Dear One, does not need to be such an amazingly complicated, confusing, stress inducing, emotionally painful experience, don’t you know.
