Why do you hesitate to make the first move? When at a gathering, do you hold back or walk up to another with a warm greeting? If the former, then perhaps you are exhibiting learned behavior that is part and parcel of being in a human body. You have learned to self-protect. You project possible outcomes that cause you to resist rejection. And what if you were to remember you are a soul having a human experience? And what if you then saw the beautiful soul behind the facade of that apparent other who may be feeling as awkward as you are. Why then, beautiful soul, you would greet each other as old friends, even if you had never met in this incarnation. You would shine brightly upon each other without the human need to outshine anyone, knowing there is nothing but the light.

You are so very loved.
