You can spend your whole life following the rules invented by others for themselves Dear One, or you can do what you are meant to be doing – which is writing your own rules.
Which feels like a better fit for you today, their rules or yours?
The notice of these things can be an opportunity for judgment or an opportunity for gratitude.
Hold yourself up against nothing and no one and judgment becomes impossible Dear One .
Take notice. And choose gratitude.
There is nothing wrong with you Dear One. You are not broken. You don’t need to be fixed.
You are simply not making the choices that bring you the greatest amount of joy, laughter, health, comfort, balance, peace, contentment, connection.
You know what they are.
You know how you feel when you choose them.
You know what to do.
In this moment, never mind what you should be doing or could be doing Dear One. Never mind what they need from you or what they want from you. Never mind what their expectations are. Let them go.
In this moment all that really matters is you – what you think of you – what you want from you – what you expect from you – what you want this day to be.
When was the last time that you allowed the sound of your own voice, your own heart, your own wants, your own needs to lead you – regardless of the needs, wants and expectations of those around you?
In this moment, ignore them Dear one. Ignore all of them and listen only to yourself, to you own inner voice. Pay close to the details of what it has to say to you – because your own heart holds much wisdom for you. It holds much love and compassion and forgiveness for you too.
In this moment, allow yourself to connect with that wisdom.
And in the next, allow yourself to follow it.
Struggling against what is, working harder, suffering through, will never serve you in a greater capacity towards reaching your goals then getting happy will Dear One.
One small action taken in joy is infinitely more powerful than 100 taken in anger, frustration, fear, resentment, sadness or uncertainty.
Get happy and then get to work – not the other way around, if you can help it.
We assure you that the time spent on yourself first will be well worth the effort.
Life can be a harrowing experience if you let it be Dear One.
And it can be one of pure joy and bliss if you let…it…be.
As always, the choice is yours.
You are meant to love your life Dear One, not just tolerate it. It is not an experience that is meant to simply be endured.
So why not choose only those that you truly want, that excite you, inspire you, motivate you, embrace you, comfort you and bring you great joy and stop choosing those that bring you anything less?
You are the only one that choose mediocrity for yourself Dear One.
You are the only one that can choose to settle for less than you truly want.
And you are only one that can choose greatness.
We watch you struggle day after day in your effort to hold-on Dear One – hold-on to your job, hold-on to your relationships, hold-on to your health, hold-on to your security, hold-on to your control, hold-on to that which you know, understand and trust.
And we ask ourselves why.
Why do you try so hard to hold-on Dear One when you can let go and float, fly, sail along your path instead?
Life is a journey not a job Dear One.
Lighten up!
Enjoy your day.
What do you want your contribution to be today Dear One?
