Your thoughts set the tone for your day, Dear One.

• Scary thoughts can cause almost any experience to seem frightening.
• Happy, silly thoughts cause you to see humor in almost any situation.
• Thoughts of scarcity can cause you to see lack under any circumstance.

You get the gist.

Your thoughts (fueled by your beliefs), not only determine the tone of your day, Dear One, they determine your reaction to, experience with, and interpretation of, every, single, thing that happens to you over the course of your entire life.

THAT is why we keep saying to you, change your thoughts and you can change your experience of every, single, thing that follows.

Life is not setting the tone, Dear One.  You are.

How is it that you go about creating more of what you want in this world, Dear One?

We’ll tell you.

There is more kindness in the world when you are kind.

There is more love when you love.

There is more forgiveness when you forgive, more tolerance when you are tolerant, more compassion when you are compassionate, more trust when you trust.

Are you getting the idea?

So, what’s it going to be?  What are you going to make more of today?

If you are constantly feeling like you don’t measure up, Dear One, that you are not rich enough, or tall enough, or smart enough or thin enough, etc., we’ve got a very simple solution for you that will help you to get over it in a heartbeat.

Stop measuring.

You have come to this place to heal this place, Dear One.

You did not do something wrong.You are not being punished.  You are not being tested.  You are not being taught a lesson.

You are being given an opportunity to heal.

Take it.

The only way to experience change, Dear One, to get somewhere you have never been before, is to choose to do something you have never done before, to say something  you have never said before, to try something you have never tried before, to walk a path you have never walked before, to trust, have faith, be brave, leap.

We know that you know this already.

But we thought that you could use the reminder.

If you want something to be different today, Dear One, do something differently.

Do you want to serve the greater good today, Dear One?

Do you want your thoughts, words, actions and deeds to serve the best interests of yourself and those around you?

Then do what makes you happy.

Make choices that make you feel better, that make you feel more open, grounded and connected to your source in each moment, and you will be doing exactly that.

Whenever you get the desire to quit, Dear One, to throw in the towel, and give up before the end, ask yourself why it is that you want to do so, before you take any action.

• Is it because quitting will release you from a commitment that no longer serves you? Because it will bring you greater pleasure, joy, freedom, and opportunity to pursue something else that you believe will serve you?

• Is it because quitting will release you from having to do the hard work required to complete a difficult task?  Because it will prevent you from confronting your fears, from facing uncomfortable feelings, from the discomfort of growth and moving beyond that which is familiar to you, that which feels safe, into a place that could lead you to who knows where?

Quit or don’t quit, Dear One. That is your choice.

But whatever you decide, we just want to make sure that you are fully aware of your reasons for doing so, before you make it happen.

What thought do you think would bring you the greatest amount of joy, the greatest amount of pleasure, to think right now, Dear One?

Are you thinking it?

Good!

• Who said that it was too hard, Dear One?
• Who said that you couldn’t do it?
• Who said that you were not worth the effort?
• Who said that your way was the wrong way?
• Who said that you didn’t know better?
• Who said that your opinion didn’t matter?
• Who said don’t even bother trying?

And who chose to believe that they were right?

Leaping and being pushed are two completely different experiences, Dear One.

A friend that encourages you to leap is a good friend indeed.

A friend that pushes you over the edge, with or without your consent, is no friend at all.

When exiting a comfort zone, Dear One, you should always do so by choice, of your own free will.

Leaping and being pushed do not both land you in the same spot.

Remember that.
