What If, Why Not?

My Beloved,

What if you didn't have to hold back.
What if you didn't care about who's judging who, who's judging you.
What if you can be who you've been dreaming about being.
What if you can be who you've always meant to be.

What if you don't have all of the answers first.
What if you take the first step?
What if you are scared and you do it anyway.
And follow that with a second step?
What if you are still scared and you keep going anyway?

What if you are received with praise and adoration.
What if you are rejected.
What if you are criticized.
What if you are ignored.
What if you don't care either way?
What if you find joy in your purpose without needing approval?
Or disapproval.

What if you share your joy with those you are attracting because you followed your dream and your heart.

What if that exponentially multiplied the goodness and the abundance not only in your life, but in the lives of those you touch directly, and indirectly?

What if you take a risk?
I love it when you do!

What if you came to realize
that what you have to offer is who you are.
And that you came here at this specific time and 
place on the planet, to do just that?

What if you realized that a lot of things we spend our time on are things that are not real ~but are thoughts. Thoughts that translate into fear. What if you realized that who you are and what you have to offer IS the real deal?~a presence that is LOVE in a very unique and beautifully wonderful expression (you).

What if encouraging others elevated everyone, especially you?
I love it when you do!

I love it when you are you.
When all else fails, keep doing that.
Keep being you!
I love it when you do. 
I love when you are you. 

So how do we go about doing this? Being you. Being me.
And I mean authentically.
Why not love ourselves well? 
Why not see the Divine reflected 
in our eyes when we look in the mirror?

Or have we learned to look at ourselves with disdain?
Or disapproval, or worse. We must let go of that.
Why not go deep and stay present to the true nature of our beingness. 

Why not sit and hold this space in yourself. Close your eyes. 
Now you are the loving parent holding your own little child inside of you.
If there is intensity, if there are uncomfortable feelings sit with them. They 
will cycle through and pass. Why not feel what is there?  

Why not hold whatever is there with Love.

Why not sing this song to yourself, out loud or quietly to the one. You know, 
the one who is afraid but who really needs to hear that she or he is
the Beloved in your eyes. Why not let her know that she is the flower and the moon.

  
"There is nothing you can see that is not a flower; 
there is nothing you can think that is not the moon." 
~ Matsuo Bashō






Through the eyes of love, you become Love 
and that is all we ever want to be.
Why not keep a full moon in your eyes?
