The moment that you decide that you and your needs, wants, and desires are a priority Dear One, the universe will too.

When you choose to ignore your intuition Dear One, your gut, instincts, hunches or “feelings”, and instead take action based on some other seemingly compelling force in the universe, and things don’t work out, don’t beat yourself up about it.

The truth is that the experience of learning from not doing something can be just as valuable as the experience of learning by doing.

But if you would like to spare yourself from repeated exposure to that particular type of learning experience, pay close attention, remember what it feels like to have to live with the consequences of not trusting yourself, and don’t do it again.

We have something very important to tell you Dear One.
Something that we really want you to understand.

Here goes:

You are not now, nor have you ever been, out of control.
It’s just not possible.
Whether you believe it or not, changes nothing.
You are in control.
You are the one running the show. You are the one calling the shots.
You always have been, and you always will be.
Nothing you do ever, can or will change that.

Here’s why:

You are vibrational being Dear One, living in a vibrational universe.
What you put out there, what you give your attention to, what you focus on, what you ask for, is what you get back.
Without exception.

Nothing can come into your experience without an invitation.

That is just the way it works.

How much more in control could you hope to be?

When in doubt Dear One, when you don’t what it is that you need to do next to get you to where you want to be, and you are feeling lost, angry, frustrated, or alone as a result, here is what we would like you to do:

• Go and find a comfortable place and sit
• Allow yourself to get calm and still and comfortable
• Pick a thought, any thought, that makes you feel better, and think it
• Keep thinking that thought until you start to feel better, even if it is only just a little bit
• Then pick another thought that makes you happy
• Keep thinking that thought until it makes you smile
• And once you are smiling Dear One, once you sitting comfortably, calm, still and smiling, we want you to stay in that spot and continue to do so for as long as you possible can.

That is all.

Because with a happy thought in your head Dear One, and a smile on your lips, there is little else that you could do that would be more helpful, more useful, more effective, or more productive towards attracting to you everything that you are wanting for yourself.

Why bother being authentic Dear One?

Why bother being honest? Why bother speaking your truth?

Why bother being thoughtful, generous, loving, persistent, patient and kind?

Why should you put in the extra effort to make the tougher, braver, more challenging choice, when it seems like so many others do not?

Because what you put out there is what you get back Dear One.

That’s why.

Strength is a choice Dear One.

One that you can make anytime that you would like.
One that is available to you at all times, without exception.

It is not a limited resource within you that you can exhaust, deplete, or run out of, ever.

We just thought that maybe you could use the reminder.

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 question before every step that you take, and answering it honestly:

Will this choice, will this action, will this meal, will this drink, will this purchase, will this person, will this conversation, 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.

Contrary to popular belief (and practice) Dear One, healing does just happen.

Your very vital and active role in the process is to allow it.

And if you should need them, the doctors, counselors, teachers, or healer’s role, is to help you to do it.

Do you want to feel better right now Dear One?

Choose a better feeling thought, right now.

If it should inspire in you a better feeling action, take it.

*Repeat this process as often as is necessary until a desired emotional state has been achieved.

You are not meant to do this alone Dear One.

Needing, asking for, and accepting help is not a sign of weakness. It is not an indicator of dependence, failure, stupidity, or lack in any way, shape or form either.

It is actually a sign of great wisdom.

The more you allow yourself to rely on others, the more you allow yourself to rely on the strength of the whole to heal, create, inspire, and connect, the more in alignment with your source you will be.

And the more in alignment with your source that you are, the more powerful we all will be as a result.

So the next time an opportunity arises Dear One, for you to reach out and ask someone for help, know that it will be of a great benefit to us all for you to take it.
