There can be no great future Dear One, if there is no great present.

The very best thing that you can do to create a better tomorrow is to get happy today.

You don’t strengthen your heart the same way that you strengthen your biceps Dear One.

You don’t work it harder to make it stronger.

Reps of repetitive, challenging, difficult, painful emotions are not going to create the desired effect.

The heart thrives on love Dear One, on compassionate, peaceful, trusting, joyful, loving energy.

If you want to get stronger, if you want to strengthen your heart,  don’t put your energy into seeking out new ways that will allow you to endure difficult situations, people, emotions and circumstances for longer periods of time, seek out new ways that will help you to let go of them instead.

There are two ways that you can get there Dear One.

You’ve got two options to choose from:

• The easy way
• The hard way

You can get there through hard work, struggle, suffering and great sacrifice or….

You can get there through joy.

It’s your choice.

So, how do you want to get there Dear One?

Which are you going to choose today?

Do you want to know how to get past a bad feeling as quickly as possible Dear One?

• Don’t fight it
• Don’t fear it
• Don’t ignore it
• Don’t try and stop it, change it or run away from it
• Don’t get mad at it either

All you have to do to get past it Dear One, is let it come.

And then let it go again, knowing that the sooner that you do, the sooner it will be on its way.

Trust your instincts Dear One.

No one can tell you what you are worth Dear One.

It just doesn’t work that way. You have to tell them.

And you do, everyday.

You tell them with every choice that you make, with every word that you speak,  and with every action that you take.

It’s time to start living again Dear One, bigger, bolder, brighter, and with your whole heart.

It’s time to let go of fear. It’s time to let go of insecurity.  It’s time to let go of doubt.

You don’t need them anymore.  You never really did.

As for everything else that you believe is to blame for holding you back, it’s time to let go of that too.

Today is the day for you start shining brightly again Dear One.

It’s time.

Change doesn’t just happen Dear One.

If you want it, you’re going to have to choose it.

The moment that you do, the wait is over.

You are the author of your life Dear One.

You are the one writing your own history everyday.

You are the only one who gets to decide what kind of story it will be.

So what kind of history do you want to write for yourself today?

• Do you want to write a story about joy, love, compassion, bravery, or connection?   About creativity, taking a risk, forgiveness, patience or perseverance?
• Or do you want to write a story about fear, guilt, getting by, playing it safe or making excuses?  About jealousy, anger, ego, hatred, frustration or giving up?

You’ve got complete creative freedom Dear One.

Write yourself well!

Don’t regret any state of disconnection you may be experiencing Dear One.  Take advantage of it instead.

The journey back to you, back to your heart, back to your source, is a sacred one.

There is nothing else like it.

And your disconnection is a gift, giving you the opportunity to take that journey again.

So enjoy it Dear One.  Enjoy the power, the pleasure, the joyful and empowering experience of reconnecting with you, of reconnecting with the divine.

And the first step?

Remembering and honoring the fact that they are one in the same.
