Giving up is nothing to feel bad about, Dear One.  Did you know that it’s OK to want to give up from time to time?  That it can actually be good for you?  Giving up is the ultimate form of surrender.

When you have nothing left to lose – when you stop trying – when you stop resisting what is –  when you reach your point of surrender – anything can happen, if you let it.

Surrender does not need to be hopeless, devastating or an indicator of weakness.  It can be intentional, exciting and an indicator of strength. Don’t give up and expect the worst.  Give up and expect the best.  Give up control, fear, remorse, guilt, agitation.  Give up negativity.  Give yourself a break.  Try embracing surrender today and allow something unexpected to happen.

How do you know if you should let it go, Dear One?

Ask yourself this: Is investing your energy in it; in that emotion, in that relationship, in that exchange, in that conflict, in that fight, a worthwhile investment for you?

Answer honestly and then you’ll know.

That is how you know!

Only an open heart can heal, Dear One.

To connect or not to connect.

That is a choice that is available to you in each and every moment of your day, Dear One.

Source, God, spirit, energy, light, life force, prana, Qi, whatever you should choose to call it, is available to you, to all of you, in limitless quantities, equally, at all times, without exception.

The frequency, quality, depth, and intensity, of your connection to it has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with us, them, or it, and absolutely everything to do with you, and your desire and willingness to be open to it.

To connect or not to connect.

That is the question.

Now you tell us, Dear One….What is the answer?

Action without faith, Dear One, without vision, can never lead you anywhere, except back to where you started.

Try to be reasonable today, Dear One, without compromising yourself, your heart, your own well-being, and you will quickly come to discover that it just can’t be done.

Why?  Because reason does not necessarily prioritize you and your well-being above all else.  That’s why.

But love does!

-Reason fuels compromise, most of the time.
-Love guides you to love, all of the time.

So when it comes to choosing today, Dear One, if you should find yourself in a circumstance that necessitates you to choose between one or the other, between love and reason, we implore you, in no uncertain terms, to choose love.

Choose love.
Choose love.
Choose love.

It will be to the benefit of you all if you do.

^^

Speak up, Dear One.  Speak up clearly and speak up often.  Speak your truth every chance that you get, in words and in deeds.  Be true to your heart, to who you are, to your feelings, your beliefs, and your desires, every second of every minute of every day if you can.

The effects of authenticity are cumulative.

The more you practice it, the more you will see it reflected back to you in the world around you.

Open your heart, Dear One – Not so that you can let love in from somewhere outside of you.  We want you to open your heart and look within for the love that you already hold within you –   that you are made up of – that you are.

Open your heart and let that love out.  Let it flow through you and from you out into the world.  You are the source, Dear One, that you are longing to connect with/re-connect with.   The light of the universe, of all that it is, shines through you.

Live your life from the inside out.  Shine your brightest.  Let the light of who you are radiate out of you and fall on anyone within its reach.

Live from the inside out, for within you is more than you will ever need, more than you could ever conceive of, more than you will ever fully know/realize until you open up to it.

Live from the inside out and you will never know from a shortage of love, or connection to source again.

Let it go, focus your attention elsewhere, talk about something else, allow your thoughts to move on, and it will move on from you, Dear One.

Hold on to it, remain focused on it, keep talking about it, continue thinking about it, and it will remain with you.

That’s the secret.
Now you know.
