Be dependable. Be someone to trust, share and be safe with. If people know they can depend on you they also know that you can be trusted with even their deepest secrets and experiences. But to become dependable you have to first learn to trust yourself, to become for yourself a trustworthy being. Do you show up for yourself when most needed? Do you hold yourself responsible for your choices and actions? Do you trust yourself to hold sacred your most important issues and to work with them until they are resolved in a fruitful manner? To be dependable is to be selfless in a loving way without losing yourself in the problems of others. In this manner you learn that you can also count on yourself to maintain your energy for what is really needed.

Sending you love,

Suspend judgment. Avoid the pitfalls of judging the self as well as others, for judgments are merely excuses for getting to the truth about the self. They are projections thrust outwardly that are better dealt with inside the self in a nonjudgmental way. Without judgment work within the self to more deeply know and explore the self so that you may continually evolve. With love, kindness and compassion be okay with who you are, striving always for clarity and deeper knowledge.

Sending love,

Be kind to yourself even as you expect the most from yourself. Extend that kindness to others, to those who deserve it and to those who don’t. For to extend kindness is to offer a simple gesture of human interest and that simple gesture may mean a world of difference to someone, just as it may mean a world of difference to you. Kindness has its own language and the way it is spoken is up to each individual. Speak the language of kindness today.

Sending you love,

Stay calm no matter what transpires. Remain steady, thoughtful and free of impulse by acting rationally yet from the heart when it is time to act. A steady mind and a calm heart will do more good than a rash emotional reaction. Train yourself every day to be as calm as you can be so that when the time comes your heart will hold you steady, your mind will have clarity and your actions will be right.

Sending you love,

It’s not that hard to be a loving being, to open your heart to giving and receiving, to being generous, compassionate and kind. It’s not that hard to practice loving others in a myriad of ways. Even when you are only giving and not receiving you are practicing the highest form of love, for what is true love if not a giving of yourself to another, to a cause, to a need in some way. Learn to love by being a giver. It is the highest form of selflessness and it is the most fulfilling action you can take.

Sending you love,
