Stay attached to how far you have already come and not to how far is still to go. Your accomplishments deserve credit, as does your strong will to change and evolve the self. There is great dignity in paying attention to what has made you and what potential still lies unawakened within you. Let fear stand aside now. Take it off like an old winter coat, no longer needed in the warm sunshine, and allow yourself to launch now into the great and fantastic unknown. It is your destiny.

Sending you love,

Track your energy, watching for signs that you are using it properly and most beneficently. When your energy perceives a positive benefit it will likely let you know in some way, such as a heart pounding affirmation or a happy sense of destiny or contentment. When your energy perceives that something is negative and will have unhealthy results, it will give you clear signs to steer clear. The thing is, will you notice, pay attention and follow the advice? Will you take the path that has meaning and heart? Show up in your own life more fully and pay attention. Those are two aspects in your favor as you learn to track your own energy responses to situations in life and make progress in the good. Show up. Pay attention.

Sending you love,

The body requires certain things to remain healthy but so does the spirit. Give the body plenty of rest but know that the spirit also craves what the body wants. While the body is at rest the spirit gets to exercise. While the body sleeps soundly the spirit practices what it is best at, exploring its capabilities freed of the body, fulfilling its own needs and wants, learning what it can to enhance the experience of life in the body. Allow your spirit to teach you what it knows by paying attention to how it guides and directs you during the day and how it teaches you what you are truly capable of in the dreams it brings you at night.

Sending you love,

In some areas of life incremental change works just fine to bring good results. In other areas it’s much better for change to be abrupt and immediate. If danger is imminent, or disaster of some sort is the clear result of a behavior, then clearly the best course of action is to turn and walk in a new direction. Look to nature for examples of both incremental and immediate change. The slow growth of a seed as it emerges from the earth produces lovely flowers or fruit, while dark rain clouds cannot hold back from abruptly spilling the heavy rain they hold. But the human heart and mind have one thing that nature lacks and that is the power to think and act intuitively and with precision. Don’t forget that, and don’t forget to use this power to propel your life in a new direction of your own choosing when the time is right.

Intent is exertion of will upon stubbornness. When stubbornness exists, despite all good intentions to change, it is the exertion of will that will finally bring about the desired effect. Intend with a good dose of will and your desired change will surely begin making its mark upon your life. Calmly and surely know in your mind that this is true and immediately see the results.
