Cliff Notes Version of Stop Trying and Be

For my friend Laura and all those who enjoy it simplified:

1.      Stop trying.  Trying is an ego action.  The ego compares you to everyone and everything and always makes you come up short or better than another. 

2.     You are not your mind, body, emotions or experiences. 

3.     You are a soul.  As a soul, you existed before you had this mind and body.  You will exist beyond this mind and body.  The real you is timeless divine essence.

4.     As a soul, you have limitless power to realize your potential.  You have access to bliss, health, love, grace by aligning with the truth of your essence rather than the identity confined to your mind, body and emotions.

5.     The soul lives in all dimensions of reality simultaneously.  That means you have access to infinite wisdom, guidance and all else. 

6.     Intuition is your soul’s language.  It communicates through your physical senses information that cannot be easily identified through the physical world.  Sensations that are not linked to a trailed thought; ideas that arise spontaneously; persistent messages that lead to empowerment, health and evolution; lyrics or words in a show you’re watching; deep sensation or knowing; dreams and so on.  Paying attention to these signs and acknowledging their significance will increase the frequency and usefulness of this communication. 

7.     Your purpose as a soul on earth, is to bring through your essence through your natural talents and interests.  Pay attention to what flows through you most easily.  It’s a clue to your purpose.  Soul only uses the most joyful, natural abilities to express its gifts.  It can express this purpose for great periods of time with no thought to time; it would do it for free; it evolves, expands and uplifts you when you allow these gifts to be expressed.  It empowers others too.  And it will always bless you prosperously with health, financial reward, peace of mind and deep fulfillment. 

8.     You have a choice.  To live on earth aligned with your mind and experience this place as an ongoing challenge.  Or to live life from your Soul. 

9.     Align with your Soul and experience and you will no longer have to try to be anything.  You are divine.   You are exquisite.  You are enough right here, right now.  You are infinite.  You are immutable essence.  You are capable of bringing light, love and bliss into the world through your natural talents, interests and everyday expressions.  You have the power right now, to live in perfect harmony with all that is.   

10.  Soulful living is an art.  Because you have a mind that believes in the physical reality as the ultimate truth, it takes practice to align and allow soulful truth to lead the way.  But when you do this, your life will express miracles beyond anything your mind can imagine.  Soulful expression blesses you and our world richly. 

Stop trying to be.  Let go of your mind’s ideas of YOU and open to the truth that you are a divine being of exquisite power.  You came to earth to enjoy, grow and contribute from your soul.  Thank you for showing up!
