We want to make this as simple for you as we possibly can, Dear One.
Forgiveness has absolutely, positively, nothing whatsoever to do with them.
It is simply the act of releasing your connection to something that no longer serves you, releasing your bond with something that you no longer want to remain connected to.
It is letting go of the rope, removing your hand from the hot stove, exiting the burning building.
You are a profoundly powerful, divine spiritual being, Dear One.
And you are surrounded each and every day by profoundly powerful, divine spiritual beings.
Some of them may know it. Some of them may be aware of their divinity, and some of them may not. But their level of awareness does not change who or what they are. The only thing that knowing changes is their personal experience of that truth.
But you can know it, Dear One. You can choose to see and trust and acknowledge their divinity, even if they can’t.
And while knowing may not have any impact on them, Dear One, on their experience of you, you can be sure that knowing will have a deep and profound impact on your experience of them. And truth be told, that is all we are really concerned with at this time — teaching you, helping you, guiding you towards improving your experience of the world around you and all of the people in it.
You are living a life surrounded by spirit, Dear One, seeped in the divine.
All you need to do to begin to benefit from this reality, is to acknowledge it.
How well do you think your choices match up with your desires, Dear One?
Let’s find out!
So, how’d you do?!
These are all just different ways for you to exercise lazy, Dear One.
And we don’t think that being lazy is a good enough reason for you to not have everything that you want.
The only meaning of life that matters, Dear One, is the meaning that you give it.
What are some good reasons for you to quit, Dear One?
Frustration, fear, insecurity, discomfort, uncertainty, anger, sadness, doubt, distrust, jealousy, anguish, ambiguity, pain, or despair.
None of these qualify.
So what does?
Any reason that stems from a source of strength, determination, confidence, honesty, clarity, or complete understanding.
Any reason that serves to consciously and intentionally bring you closer to that which is wanted, and not simply farther away from that which is not.
Does that help?
They are going see in you, Dear One, what they want to see in you, what they need to see in you, what they are ready to see in you, what they are looking for, and nothing more.
And there is not a whole lot that you can do about that.
Isn’t that wonderful!
Now that you know that you don’t have to worry so much about trying to make a good impression, about trying to please them, or impress them, or win them over. You can just be you, and instead put all of your energy into doing what you do best, into doing what brings you the greatest amount of joy, into creating, sharing, and enjoying your life the way that you want to.
Remember, Dear One, regardless of how scared, chaotic, lost, or out of control you feel, that your center, your home, is only one slow, deep breath away.
And we are there.
Always.
Making the decision to be brave, Dear One, to act bravely, is far from a risky decision.
In fact, it is probably one of the safest decisions that you can make.
Why?
Because being brave requires you to trust, and in order to trust you must connect with your heart, listen to what it has to say, and allow it to guide you.
What could be safer than that?
You want to play it safe, Dear One?
Connect, trust, and take the leap.
Start by choosing to believe with absolute certainty that everything is going to be okay.
And then, act accordingly.
Because the truth is, Dear One, that it will be.
