You never know when a pleasant surprise is going to show up in your day, Dear One.

The best thing that you can do to encourage one, to attract one to you, is to anticipate its arrival.

Some days you will be confident, and some days you will be insecure. Some days you will feel pretty and some days you will feel plain.  Some days you will be adored, and some days you will be lonely.  Some days you will be creative, and some days you will be dull.  Some days you will be kind, and some days you will be cruel. Some days you will do no wrong, and some days you will do no right.

But know this, Dear One, that in this life that is full of contradictions, full of realities that are true one minute and not true the next, one thing will never stop being true, and that is that you will never stop being powerful.

You can never stop being powerful.  It is who and what you are.

Now you can choose to use your power to create things that you want in this life, or you can choose to use your power to create things that you despise, or fear, or secretly think that you deserve.   But either way, Dear One, no matter what, you can never stop being powerful, you can never give your power away, or run out of it, or lose it, or have it taken from you, ever.

You can be tricked into thinking it is gone, you can trick yourself into thinking it is gone too. But regardless of how you feel, what you have been told, or what you believe, you will still be powerful, you will still have the power that creates worlds running through you, at your fingertips, at all times, to do with as you please.  You will still be the one with the pen in your hand, writing your story, creating your world, with every thought that you think, word that you speak,  action that you take, and belief that you hold in your heart.

Don’t try so hard today, Dear One.

Take a deep breath and allow instead.

Your victories are YOUR victories, Dear One.
Celebrate them, each and every one, no matter how big or small

Don’t compare them to someone else’s first; before you decide if they are worthy of celebration.

Especially not to those who don’t share your values; to those who may not find valuable those things that YOUR heart values most.

Emotional security is a state of mind, Dear One.

One that you can choose to experience anytime that you would like.

You can choose to allow yourself to experience it when you have the relationship that you want, or the job that you want, or the salary that you want, or the house that you want, or the family that you want, or the body that you want.

OR

You can choose to allow yourself to experience it right now, just as you are.

It’s totally and completely up to you!

Imagine if you can for a moment, Dear One, that you are right on course.  That you know all that you need to know.  That your beliefs serve you.  That you are surrounded by those who will act for your greatest good at every opportunity.

Imagine if you can, Dear one that you are content.  That you are at peace.

Imagine if you can, that you have the confidence to act with confidence, to make decisions confidently, about your work, your relationships, your health, your finances.

THAT is what having faith is, Dear One.  THAT is what having faith can do to your life.  THAT is what living in faith, choosing in faith, and trusting in faith can do.

Imagine that.

When you are learning to do something new, Dear One, either by choice or by necessity, you always have options available to you for how you are going to proceed:

• You can choose to resist and proceed with frustration, resentment, impatience, and regret for the task at hand
• You can choose to allow, and proceed with excitement, optimism, hope, and an open mind as you approach the challenge before you

You can choose to focus on the work, effort and energy that will be required of you, or you can choose to focus on the many new doors that will open for you a result.

In which direction are you going to lean, Dear One?

Which option do you think is going to serve you best as you learn?

Life is showing you all of the time, every minute of every day, an option for happiness, Dear One.

There is nothing wrong with you, Dear One.  You are not broken.  You don’t need to be saved, or fixed.

You are simply not making the choices that bring you the greatest amount of joy, laughter, health, comfort, balance, peace, contentment, or connection.

You know what they are.

You know how you feel when you choose them.

You know what to do.

It can be difficult to choose/to pick up that which you want, Dear One, if your hands are already full of that which you do not want.

Make sense?

Know what you have to do next?
