The realization that you are bound by nothing but the limits of your own imagination – That is what true independence is Dear One.

• Act as if you were deeply loved Dear One, because you are
• Act as if anything were possible, because it is
• Act as if you had the power to create worlds within you, because you do
• Act as if everything you ever dreamed of can be yours, because it can
•  Act as if today were the very best day of your life so far Dear One, because it just may be

•  And act as if tomorrow was going to be even better, and it will be

You have a significant and powerful gift Dear One – The ability to see both the best and the worst in the people around you.

Choose to focus your attention on their best, on their strengths, on their potential, on their possibilities, on their capacity for change, and you will be transforming your view, and therefore your experience of the world.

People tend to do their best to live up (or down) to the image of themselves they see reflected back to them through the eyes of others.

Choose to look for only the best Dear One, and you will be transforming their view of themselves and therefore, their experience of the world as well.

You and you alone are responsible for your experience of this journey Dear One.

If we were you, we would spend as little time as possible indulging in opportunities that inspired us to feel inferior, offended, disappointed, discouraged, let down, powerless or unworthy, and spend our time instead indulging only in opportunities that encouraged us to feel powerful, worthy, loved, motivated, optimistic, connected, compassionate, generous, joyful, happy and at ease.

But that’s just us.

Only you know what will work best for you.

Do you trust yourself enough to really let go, follow your heart and see where it may guide you?

If yes, what are you waiting for?

If no, what are you waiting for?

There is no rush.

There is no count down.

You cannot and will not ever run out of time Dear One.   Time is eternal, as are you.

But if you are not careful, if you do not remain conscious in all that you do, you can however, waste it.

And what a shame that would be.

Today we say goodbye to you Dear One, and we ask that you say goodbye as well.

We say goodbye to all of your sorrows, goodbye to all of your grief, goodbye to all of your old hurts and goodbye to all of your uncertainty, insecurity, worry and fear.

We are sure that they have served you well, but if you need them no longer, it is time to say goodbye.

Say it with us.

• Goodbye troublesome thoughts.  Goodbye worrisome feelings.  Goodbye sleepless nights. Goodbye sadness.  Goodbye anger.  Goodbye anxiety, worry, and angst.
• Goodbye to all of the things in my life that I no longer need, that no longer serve me.
• I release you.

You can choose to say goodbye Dear One and mean it, and make room in your life for something new or you can make a different choice.

But either way, in this moment, in every moment, you must choose, to say goodbye or to hold on.

In this moment, what’s it going to be?  What are you going to choose?

Our greatest wish for you Dear One, our only wish for you, is that you feel worthy, empowered, inspired, motivated to pursue people, passions, pleasures and pastimes that you love, that excite you, that have meaning for you, that make you smile, laugh, connect, feel.

Why?

So that you will experience greater joy in your life.

And why do we want that?

Because when you are joyful Dear One, you are bringing more joy into the world, into existence — You are creating, expanding and shaping your world and all that is through joy and THAT benefits us all.

(And we also do it for the pure pleasure of it, for the fun, enjoyment and satisfaction that it brings us to do so.)

We are not going to try to discourage you from making self-destructive choices, repeating self-destructive patterns or engaging in self-destructive relationships Dear One.

This is your life and you are free to make any old choice that pleases you.

But what we are going to do is try and help you to become more aware of the fact that you are doing so.

We want you to think about/be aware of every single choice that you make.  We want you to make each choice purposefully, deliberately and consciously with the intention of allowing/experiencing greater joy in your life.

If you are making choices that are harming you, we would like for you to be fully aware of the fact that you are doing so.

This is your life Dear One and you are free to make any old choice that pleases you.

If the choices that you are making are not pleasing you, then we are going to encourage you to start making different choices.

Whatever it is that is bothering you Dear One, whatever it is that you are struggling with, deal with it/face it/confront it or choose to let it go.

Those are really the only two options available to you that will ever serve you in any positive way.

All others; anger, resentment, denial, rationalization, self pity, self righteousness, and so on,  will only serve to prolong, intensify or increase your suffering.

But don’t just take our word for it.  Experience is a far better teacher that we ever could be.
