• Don’t worry that you have missed out Dear One.
• Don’t worry that you made the wrong choice, waited too long, or missed the boat.
• You have not. You did not. You can not.

Do you know what the universal force is that dictates the experiences, people, and relationships that you are and are not meant to have in your life?

You are it!

If it didn’t happen, if you didn’t choose it, then it was not meant to be.  It’s just that simple.

So don’t worry, regret or fret over that which was not Dear One.

Instead enjoy, give your attention to, celebrate that which was, that which is, instead.

And if you should find yourself in the all too common situation where you have made a choice that you are not enjoying – accept it, learn from it, and choose again.

You don’t have to make a choice in the moment for the rest of your life Dear One.

It just isn’t necessary or possible actually.

All you can do, the very best that you will ever be able to do is make a choice in this moment, for this moment.

That is the only thing that matters, that is the only thing that is real, that is the only thing that will ever be real – your experience in the here and now.

Does knowing that make your decision any easier?

It should.

How long will it take to change Dear One?

That depends.

• How long are you planning to continue to hold on to what is?
• How long are you planning to continue to remain stagnant, motivated by fear, insecurity, doubt, and uncertainty?
• How long are you planning to continue to think that experiencing well-being requires great effort?
• How long are you planning to continue to not trust?
• How long are you planning to continue to hold on to the idea that change is hard?

How long will it take for you to change Dear One?

You tell us.

• There is no honor in doing that which you do not believe in.
• There is no honor in pretending to care when you do not.
• There is no honor in deceiving someone simply to avoid confrontation.

Do you really want to do the honorable thing Dear One?

Then honor yourself and them with your choices.

Be honest.  Be compassionate. Be loving.

And most importantly, speak from your heart.

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.

You can choose to be your stories greatest victor Dear One, or its most tragic victim.

The pen is in your hand.

What’s it going to be?

Write yourself well.

If with one hand you are reaching back Dear One, holding on to things in your past, and with the other you are reaching out ahead of you, holding on to a vision of your future, is it any wonder that you feel like you are being stretched too thin in the here and now?

You should know, that which is for your greatest good, is and will always be, in the present moment.

The tradition of joining both hands together at your heart for prayer, for meditation, for your daily practice, is meant to be a reminder of this for you.

Be. Here. Now.

If you don’t want it anymore Dear One, if you don’t like it anymore, simply stop choosing it.

That doesn’t mean you need to push it away, throw it out, or try to force it out of sight and mind to get rid of it.

All it means is that you simply need to stop choosing it.

Remember that you aren’t just choosing with your actions Dear One. You are also choosing with your thoughts, with your beliefs, and with the focus of your attention.

We know that there are so many things in this life that you are looking forward to, that you want to experience, hold-on to, and create more of for yourself, so why give even one more minute of your attention to anything else?

Why should you tell the truth Dear One?

Contrary to popular belief, it is not because doing so will set you free.

The real reason that we want you to tell the truth Dear One, is that consequences of doing so will shift the people, events, circumstances and outcomes around you in such a way so as to lead  you to precisely the spot where your heart wants you to be.

That’s why?

Tell the truth and don’t fear that things will change as result of doing so.

Tell the truth and get excited about the changes that are to come as a result.
