What are some good reasons for you quit Dear One?

Frustration, fear, insecurity, discomfort, uncertainty, anger, sadness, doubt, distrust, jealousy, anguish, ambiguity, or despair.

None of these qualify.

So what does?

Any reason that stems from a source of strength, determination, confidence, honesty, clarity, or complete understanding.

Any reason that serves to consciously and intentionally bring you closer to that which is wanted, and not simply farther away from that which is not.

What do you think now?  Are your reasons good enough?

Today is the only today you’ve got Dear One.

It is the only today you are ever going to get.

It is the only today that has ever been and it is the only today that ever will be.

Don’t approach it like you did yesterday, or the day before that, or the day before that.

Today is different.

Today is special.

Today is the only one of its kind.

Please remember to treat it that way.

Fear exists nowhere Dear One, except within your mind.

Does that make it any less real?
Does that make it any less powerful?
Does that make it any less of a limiting or destructive force in your life?

The truth is that yes, it does, if you decide that it does.

If you want things to be different today Dear One, you’ve got to do things differently.

• Why spend your time worrying, doubting, being fearful, and uncertain when you can spend it being optimistic, trusting, confident, and at ease instead?

This is not a rhetorical question Dear One.

We would like for you to actually spend a few minutes of your time answering it.

And if you find that doing so is too great of a challenge, ask us, we’d be happy to help.

Our wish for you today Dear One, is that you will allow yourself to break with tradition, to take a break from your norms, from what is comfortable and familiar to you, from your habitual thoughts, patterns, behaviors, and beliefs and venture into the unknown — going where your heart, and opportunity leads you — without fear, without hesitation, without question.  And that you be brave, confident, trusting, and gentle on yourself as you do.

You can always choose to turn back if you would like, and return to familiar patterns, familiar behaviors, and familiar beliefs. You can always choose to revert back to what is known – if you want to.

So you’ve really got nothing to lose.

Will you do it?

Now is the time to begin creating the day that you want for yourself Dear One. It is the time to get excited about, anticipate, look forward to, and get ready to move towards and embrace all that you want – and for nothing else.

Learning to play the accordion, paint, teach, or split an atom requires practice Dear One.

So does learning how to be more open, bold, tolerant, loving, trusting, and accepting of yourself and others.

Whenever you are practicing something new, regardless of what it is, we want you to know that it is essential that you also remember to practice patience too if you ever hope to achieve any level of success.

Not because we want you to expect or anticipate that whatever it is you learning is going to take a long time to achieve, because it may not.

We want you to practice patience Dear One, because of your tendency to want to punish, judge harshly, or put yourself down when you encounter something new, when you come across something that you have not yet mastered, when you discover that you do not yet already know it all. (i.e. I can’t believe I missed that, how come this is so hard for me, how stupid of me to have not known that, and so on. You get the idea.)

Why does it matter?

Because you can’t judge yourself, be frustrated with yourself, or put yourself down and grow in any positive way at the same time.

• What do you think would happen Dear One, if you trusted your instincts today totally and completely?

• What do you think would happen if you listened to your heart instead of your head, all day long?

• What do you think your world would look like if you believed yourself to be powerful enough to be the creator of it?

There is only one way to know for sure!
