You can choose to believe that you can handle it Dear One, or you can choose to believe that you can’t.

Whichever choice you make, you’ll be right.

You don’t need to change reality to begin to turn things around Dear One — just your mind.

Trust more, struggle less.

That’s all there is to it Dear One.

The more you allow yourself to trust, the more you practice trusting;  spirit, source, yourself, your intuition, your gut, your own personal guidance system, whatever that may be, the less you will experience struggle.

Don’t think too much about this Dear One.

Don’t struggle with the idea.  Don’t spend too much time trying to decide whether or not you believe this to be true.

Just trust that it is, and find out for yourself.

Why love each other Dear One, and hold on to each other, for a minute, an hour, a decade, a lifetime?

The answer is simple.

Because it feels good to do so.

If it did not bring you joy yesterday, or the day before that, or the day before that, what makes you think it is going to bring you joy today, or tomorrow?

Unhappiness is much too high a price to pay for loyalty Dear One.

Love is not a source of pain Dear One.

Love doesn’t hurt. Love feels wonderful. Love is wonderful.

Love is not what causes you to hurt.  It is your worry that it won’t be returned, your fear of losing it, your unmet expectations, your perceived lack of it, that does it.

Love is not the source of your pain Dear One, your focused attention on worry, fear, lack and loss is.

Don’t miss them Dear One.

Close your eyes, open your heart and connect with them instead.

What you think of you is so much more important than what they think of you Dear One.

• What you think of you impacts the choices that you make
• What you think of you influences the company that you keep
• What you think of you determines the kind of friend that you are
• What you think of you inspires that work that you do
• What you think of you governs the chances that you take
• What you think of you shapes who you are and the direction of your life

What they think of you reflects what they think of you.

• You are deeply loved Dear One
• You are cherished
• You are adored
• You are capable
• You are absolutely necessary

Carry these facts with you throughout your day, your week, your month, your life.

Make all of your decisions as if there was someone standing beside you, holding your hand, encouraging you, supporting you, loving you, cheering you on every step of the way.

Because there is.

Just the same way that helping others affords you the opportunity to feel good about yourself Dear One, useful, as if you are serving your life’s purpose, you allowing them to help you when you are in need, does the same for them.

Let them help you when you need it Dear One.

It’s the only fair thing to do.
