As you prepare to step fully into the new, we encourage you to examine everything that follows the word ‘but’ when you think of your dreams. Often the first part of the sentence identifies your true desires and where your soul is trying to lead you and everything after the word ‘but’ is an indicator of old conditioning, fear, and anything else that is holding you back.

As you examine everything that follows the word ‘but’ ask, “Is this really true? What part of me needs reassurance to stay true to the dream? Is this societal conditioning or other people’s opinions? Does this support or resist my expansion? Does this really serve me and my highest life expression?” As you feel into it you may be surprised to discover that often what follows the word ‘but’ immediately puts the brakes on any forward movement.

‘But’ can be a mid-sentence pivot point that negates the expansion you are ready for. It can also be an indicator to make you aware of anything that needs to be lovingly addressed to get all parts of you cooperating and willingly moving in the same direction. With your wisdom and awareness you can take the information it offers to assist your evolution.

Every time you hold yourself back from your true desires due to fear, doubt, or other people’s opinions, you are giving your power away. We wish to remind you that you are the only  qualified expert on your own incarnation. We urge you to identify and release the buts and everything that comes after them, and then embrace the joy and excitement that occurs when your dreams are allowed unimpeded flow and can finally move full steam ahead. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young
