Before you ask for forgiveness Dear One, give it, to yourself.

Forgive yourself, allow yourself to let it go, and show them how it’s done.

You are worthy of great, big, unconditional, uncompromising, all encompassing, forgiving, limitless, boundless, joyful, love Dear One.

And absolutely nothing less.

If you don’t already love yourself this way, we can think of no better time for you to start than right now.

There is nothing that you can or will ever do that will ever make you any more worthy than you are right now.  The simple fact that you exist makes it so.

So, why wait?

Will your happiness today be dependent on what they do, on what they say, on their choices, on their behavior, on their attitude Dear One, or will it be dependent on what you do, on what you say, on your choices, on your behavior, on your attitude?

Happiness is a choice Dear One.

Are you going to put yours in their hands today or take it into your own?

Why focus on feeling badly Dear One, when there are so many other more pleasant, pleasing and enjoyable options available to you?

Just curious.

What should you do next Dear One?

That depends.

What kind of experience do you want to have next?

• An experience of bravery or fear
• An experience of taking a risk or playing it safe
• An experience of opening a door or closing one
• An experience of giving love or withholding it
• An experience of forgiveness or anger
• An experience of self confidence or doubt
• An experience of patience or frustration
• An experience of connection or isolation
• An experience of action or hesitation

You decide, and then you choose.

So, what‘s it going to be Dear One?

What next?

Don’t wait for permission to do what you need to do Dear One.

Don’t wait for someone else to tell you that is OK to put yourself first.

Don’t wait until you’ve got everything else under control before making yourself a priority, before taking care of you, before doing what you love.

Those people over there, the happy ones, the rested ones, the ones taking care of themselves, feeling good, enjoying themselves, doing what they love to do, they didn’t wait.

And that is the only difference between them and you.

In your search for balance Dear One, are you:

A:  Aligning yourself with what feels good to you, your passions, your priorities, your needs, your wants, your desires, your vision for your life?

B:  Aligning yourself with what you think is suppose to feel good , with what you think your priorities are supposed to be, with what you think you are supposed to want, need and desire for yourself or with what they want, need or desire for you?

If you are continually finding yourself out of balance, out of alignment Dear One, your answer to this question may help you to understand why.

Whenever you get the desire to quit Dear One, to give up on something before it is completed, ask yourself why it is that you want to do so before you do.

•  Is it because quitting will release you from a commitment that no longer serves you and will bring you greater pleasure, joy, freedom, and opportunity to pursue something that will serve you?
• Is it because quitting will release you from the completion of a difficult task, from confronting your fears, from uncomfortable feelings, from  the discomfort of growth, the discomfort of moving beyond what is known to you, what is familiar to you,  what feels safe into a place that could lead you to who knows where?

Quit or don’t quit Dear One, it’s entirely up to you.

Whatever you decide, we just want to be aware of your reasons for doing so before you do.

You know Dear One, it isn’t absolutely necessary for you to express your opinion about everything.

It’s OK for you to reserve doing so for only those things that you like, that lift your spirits, that you agree with, that you feel hopeful about, that hold promise for you, that you find beauty in, that make you feel good, regardless of how much others may try to convince you otherwise.

That does not mean that we are encouraging you to turn a blind eye on all that you find unjust, disagreeable, heartbreaking, distressing or troublesome in the world.

It simply means that throughout the history of time, talking negatively about something, pouring negatively charged words, actions or feeling into a situation/problem that is distressing, unjust, troublesome, harmful, or toxic has never, not ever, not even once, solved it.

Do you think that you could commit to make seeking out, creating, and experiencing joy your top priority today Dear One?

Or did you have something else in mind?
