Yes you. It is in you. A quote from William Blake…”To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour”.
Yes it is in you. I refer to the answers to the questions that are particular to your unique personal experience here and now. We have come here to be in alignment with the source principle in our hearts. For so many of us however we find ourselves awakening to the realization that we have been taught by parents and this culture to forget the way we feel and yield our creative and powerful inner truth to a society that wants us to “behave”.
Fortunately the call of source energy within you and me is too powerful to go unnoticed though many try. I can help you now by communicating over time and cyberspace as I sit comfortably in this powerful center and remind you that you are loved. You are loved by you and are part of this amazing eternal unfolding. Eventually you will come to know yourselves now as omniscient. In each moment the answers to the questions important to us are present. Quiet the mind and allow the soul to speak.
It is easy to quiet the mind. In fact your mind will cease thoughtful chatter each night when you fall into a restful state of peaceful sleep. I am here to remind you what may have been forgetting. And as it is of great importance to teach that which we most need to learn I ask that you do as I have done; do your best to remind someone you love how important they are to this glorious unfolding.
We can do no wrong for in this delicious reality we are existent primarily because of the beautiful flow of source energy and this source is only love and light. If we take the analogy of this life as a moving river one can argue that indeed we have the choice to swim upstream and many try. If trying is a vain attempt to swim against the current then allowing is to stop paddling upstream and go with the flow; and conscious co-creating is paddling with the underlying one current of love.
Trust me when I say that walking on water is a personal and emotional affair. Walking in this life always in the flow of underlying bliss and love in spite of external fleeting circumstances is to be above thought like a king or queen on high viewing life below in love and compassion.
Walking on water (ie commanding your emotions) is easier and easier. Relax, breathe deeply, take this gift we give you and wake up and by all means tell as many people as possible. Now is the time, tomorrow never comes. You are ever free to choose your principle vibration through your emotions. Relax and allow peace, health, abundance your very dreams to come true through your divine non-resistance. And please remind me if I temporarily forget that I too am eternal source energy expressing my unique self through this physical body as you are.
Love long and prosper,

Understanding Prosperity Christianity - Are Christians Supposed to Be Rich?
20th April 2007
Author: Jinger Jarrett
Prosperity Christianity has gotten a bad rap. A lot of people seem to think it means that for Christians to be rich, they have to have a lot of money or else God hasn't fully blessed them.
After watching the recent events play out in the press, for stars like Mel Gibson, Britney Spears, and Jessica Simpson, I want to challenge this belief. Although these people claim to be Christians, what they're really doing is living in a way that Wallace Wattles, in "The Science of Getting Rich", called swinishly.
Now, we can argue over whether or not these people really are Christians. That's not the point. The truth is, only God really knows the answer to that one, and it's between Him and these individuals.
My point is this: is true prosperity for Christians really all about money?
For these three, I would say no.
Does this mean Christians shouldn't have money? Again, no.
Christians should have money, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with getting financially prosperous and having a lot of money.
Joel Osteen certainly has a financially prosperous church and marketing experts and Christians like Lisa Diane and Jimmy D. Brown have certainly demonstrated that you can have a lot of money and be happy. And none of these three shy away from living their faith.
Money has its place. As T. Harv Eker says, "You can pay your bills with love".
There are several keys to prosperity that Christians need to put first:
1. Make God number one in your life. Put Him first. "Do what you do for the glory of God." As Christians, there's a lot of things we can do with money to spread the gospel. We can be a blessing to others.
In the words of Wallace Wattles, "You owe it to God, to yourself, and to humanity to make the most of yourself."
Understand that God has a purpose for blessing you with a lot of money. It's not just about being able to ride around in limos, eat in fancy restaurants, and buy whatever you want. There's a purpose.
2. Prosperity is about balance. In order to achieve true prosperity, you need to do a lot more than just make a lot of money.
The three areas Wallace Wattles says to concentrate on are mind, body, and spirit.
This means we need a strong focus on God. We need to build strong relationships with those we love. We need to achieve health, and we need to strengthen ourselves mentally and spiritually.
Get rid of your baggage, grudges, hatreds, and anything that's holding you back. There's tremendous power in forgiveness because you're releasing something you shouldn't hold onto anyway.
I truly believe that many people have died well before their time because they held onto painful events.
Let go of this garbage and replace it with positive belief.
God thinks you're someone special, extraordinary, and unique. He deeply loves you so much that He made you in His image, and He sent his son, Jesus, to die for you on the cross so you could have a relationship with Him forever.Talk about an offer you can't refuse!
3. God put those desires in your heart. Remember, God is a creator, and He created us to have a relationship with Him. He also created each of us for a purpose.
Unless those desires in your heart are sinful, God put them there. So it's time to go for it!True prosperity isn't just about money.
True prosperity is about becoming everything you are meant to be, to do all you are meant to do, and to have all you are meant to have.
God has big plans and big dreams for you.
We were never meant to aspire to be God, we are to aspire to be like God. That makes us creators, and we can choose to create something great, or something that's junk.
Stop living small. Stop dreaming small, and ask God to reign down His blessings on you. Ask for everything He wants you to have. If He didn't believe you deserved it, He wouldn't want to give it to you. He just can't give you what you won't accept.
Now dream big, live big, and open yourself up to having everything God wants you to have. When you do, what you will get will be far larger, far richer, and far better than just a big bank account.

Do You Drag Your Past Into Your Future?
29th May 2008
Author: Len Stauffenger
Are you one of those people who spend your present dwelling on the past? The past is becoming too important to you. You're avoiding the present, emphasizing past failures, indulge in guilt. None of this living with past hurts or what you perceive to be an insult is helpful. Evening the score isn't helpful either, because it is permitting the past to dictate the future.
The present, the now, the in-the-moment, gets lost. The present is mostly used as a reminder of past injuries or failures. You then react to things that occur to you in the present as if you were in the past. If you're thinking about things "past" in your mind, that past can then dictate your reactions here in the present.
When your thinking is about the past, that is your point of reference, and whoever you're dealing with has a big problem because you're not seeing or hearing him accurately. Instead, you're hearing echoes from the past. Those echoes carry pain in your mind and justify your attacks in the present in return for a past no one else sees and for whom it doesn't exist. Do you see how the past can dictate your future? Think of all the opportunities you could be missing out on.
Here's an example of something that happened to me just a few months ago. My family decided to meet at a small, local Italian restaurant to eat dinner. We went in separate cars and my younger daughter was in my car with me.
Just as each of you has done hundreds of times, we were making small talk, and were pretty much oblivious to everything around us. As we parked the car, a minivan zoomed into the parking space next to mine, slammed on his brakes, got out and started walking toward the restaurant. He parked so close to my car I literally could not get out of the car. I quickly asked him to move the car before he went into the restaurant since I couldn't get out the driver's door. I said it nice, honest. (I remember I wanted to be a smart aleck about it, but I held back).
He stalked back to his car, yelled something to me about it wouldn't have been so tight if I had parked in the space correctly then, as he pulled away his side view mirror hit my mirror and he zoomed back into the parking spot. Now I wanted to knock him out. My daughter, sweet little thing that she is, was encouraging me to knock him out. But I'm too old to be fighting. I'm a lover, not a fighter, or at least I hope so. We walked into the restaurant and, of course, we told the rest of the family what happened. Ironically, they knew who we were talking about because they saw him storm into the restaurant and, in their words "He was nasty to his wife."
It's a harmless example, but the point is that he was obviously living in the past. I'm not sure what had caused him to become angry. His past almost dictated an ass whipping. (I am bigger than he is.)
That's just an example to get you to look at your own situation so you don't make mistakes like that. Think of the times when you overreacted because your son left dirty underwear on the floor or your daughter left wet towels on the bathroom floor. You are reacting to something he's done in the past perhaps dozens of times and that something was upsetting to you.
If he had left his underwear on the floor dozens of times before, then you have to improve your parenting skills. You might be yelling at him about it, but there have obviously not been any consequences for it. Kids respond marvelously to consequences.
Let me give you another perspective. There's a company called The Landmark Corporation which does a wonderful job of teaching people different techniques for avoiding problems like this. They will tell you that when you have a conversation with someone, you should come from nothing.
When I first heard them talking about communicating from nothing I thought, "Whoa, I'm paying for this?" Then I started to get it and I hope, in light of the above discussion, it makes sense to you. Come from nothing. In other words, don't assume anything and don't bring past history into this current episode. This is not easy to do, but once you get the hang of it, you'd be amazed at how much you were missing. We usually go into conversations with an agenda or a prejudice - some point we want to make, or information we want to get.
Try having a conversation with someone without trying to be right, without an agenda, without assuming you know what they want. In the beginning, you won't be able to do this easily, but if you'll just try it in one conversation, you'll sense the difference immediately as something very positive. And then you can do it more and more often. Once you get it, it's the beginning of listening. It's also a big step toward giving up living in the past and living in the present. Once you can let go of perceived insults, when you live in the present, you get to create your future. The past is no longer dictating your future.
Len Stauffenger's parents taught him life's simple wisdom. As a divorced dad, he wanted to share that simple wisdom with his girls. "Getting Over It: Wisdom for Divorced Parents," his book, is the solution.

Law of Attraction: How to Detach Yourself from the Outcome of Your Desires
29th May 2008
Author: Rebecca Hanson
Copyright (c) 2008 Rebecca HansonI don't know why, but it seems we trip over the "allowing" part of the Deliberate Attraction formula more often than the other two parts. The Deliberate Attraction formula gives us a simple description of how to leverage the Law of Attraction so we can attract more of what we DO want and enjoy.
The three steps are simply:
1) Become very clear about what you DO want.
2) Raise your internal vibration, through removing doubts and fears, so you are a vibrational match for your desire.
3) Allow your desire to come to you.
Much has been written already about the first two steps. But how do we "allow" -- what do we need to do to actually receive what we so clearly desire, yet do not have?
Recently, I had a nice experience of what it feels like to "allow." I've been noticing that my office wastebasket is inadequate and it spills over too often. It is just a little eight-inch sea-grass basket and it barely holds two days worth of opened envelopes and crumpled paper. After months of mentally complaining about its lack of capacity, I finally asked myself, "So, what kind of wastebasket would I like?"
I began to imagine a sleek, black, matte finish wastebasket about 15 inches high with a 12 inch diameter top, and tapered at the bottom. Yes, that would be adequate for a week's worth of trash from my office and it would look professional alongside my other black office accessories.
Next I collected data on possible wastebaskets. For about a week, every time I entered a building that might have my ideal wastebasket, I looked for it. I found step-on aluminum cans -- no, I didn't want to step on anything. I found black plastic trash bins with swivel lids -- no, I didn't want a swivel lid -- I wanted an open receptacle so I can toss paper into it. I found black trash cans on wheels, but they were too industrial looking. I found ceramic pots that were almost right, but they were too heavy to empty out. I was noticing the price range went from $18.99 to $49.99.
Finally, I let it go. I told myself, "The right one will show up." And it did.
I was at the Hudson Bay Store, here in Victoria, BC, making a purchase when I decided to cash-in some of my "Reward Points" for a gift certificate. I had NEVER thought about cashing-in Reward Points before- - it had never occurred to me to do so. I took the elevator to the fifth floor and while a delightful young lady at the Reward Counter prepared my gift certificate, my eye scanned across the isle. There I noticed A BLACK WASTEBASKET, just the size and shape I had pictured in my imagination. With gift card in hand, I swiftly crossed the isle and lifted the basket. "Ah, it is made of felt-board and is very lightweight. Matte black finish with nail-head trim. About 14 inches high and 12 inches in diameter and tapered at the bottom. Very professional looking." I turned the basket upside-down to read the price: "$16.99." Very good! With my gift certificate in hand I proceeded to the checkout stand. When the clerk scanned the price, she gasped and asked me, "How much do you think this costs?"
"Well, the sticker says '$16.99'."
She was shaking her head in disbelief as she replied, "It's on sale for $5.00."
"Five dollars?" I asked, in complete surprise.
"Five dollars," she repeated."
I'll pay cash and save my gift certificate!"
Can you imagine the joy I felt at that moment? Not only was the price right, but the manner in which my exact desire had come to me was absolutely delicious!"Allowing" is simply the old adage: "Let go, and let God." It's "detachment from the outcome." More like "detachment from forcing something to happen."
Allowing is truly letting the Law of Attraction bring your desire into your sphere in its own time, place and manner.
Allowing doesn't mean getting second best. It means allowing the Law of Attraction to bring your exact desire in the BEST way possible.
Is there something you are not allowing through trying to make it happen or by wanting it a certain way or at a certain time? Let it go. Believe that the Law of Attraction WILL bring it to you in the perfect time and the perfect way. Believe it because that IS the law.

Wealth Consciousness and Law of Attraction
I know with 100% certainty that every person in this life has an abundance of money, I‘m not talking about the ability comfortably get by, I’m talking about staggering millions, billions or even trillions of dollars
But as we will learn prosperity and abundance has nothing to do with actual money but everything to do with peace of mind, joy and pure bliss. As a Ralph Waldo Emerson said “Without a rich heart, wealth is an ugly beggar.”
The reason so many have so much abundance and prosperity and not have their hands on it yet is because they are blocking it one way or another, and to have access to this abundance we deserve is to tear down the blocks
By blocks I mean the following
Self sabotage
Fear of success
Ignorance
Self doubt
Insecurity
Low self esteem
These blocks are not present at birth but are learned as we go through life from parents, media, society. Just as these these blocks are learned they can be unlearned just as easily.
“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.”– Alvin Toffler
Fortunately there are ways to unlearn all of the bad habits we’ve been programmed with. These are not the only tools available but the only ones I’m aware of at this stage.
Prayer
Affirmations
Meditation
Hypnotherapy
Counseling
Coaching
These tools with assist you in building a powerful belief system that can elevate your wealth consciousness and help us open to receive the abundance that is our birth right
But as we will learn prosperity and abundance has nothing to do with actual money but everything to do with peace of mind, joy and pure bliss. As a Ralph Waldo Emerson said “Without a rich heart, wealth is an ugly beggar.”
The reason so many have so much abundance and prosperity and not have their hands on it yet is because they are blocking it one way or another, and to have access to this abundance we deserve is to tear down the blocks
By blocks I mean the following
Self sabotage
Fear of success
Ignorance
Self doubt
Insecurity
Low self esteem
These blocks are not present at birth but are learned as we go through life from parents, media, society. Just as these these blocks are learned they can be unlearned just as easily.
“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.”– Alvin Toffler
Fortunately there are ways to unlearn all of the bad habits we’ve been programmed with. These are not the only tools available but the only ones I’m aware of at this stage.
Prayer
Affirmations

Law of Attraction - Affirmations: Today I choose...
By Bill Marshall
Here is a great way to create affirmations that may be helpful to you. Here's how it works:
You start off the affirmation with "Today I choose..." then fill in a quality or thought habit that you want to condition into your thinking. Then repeat it often during the course of the day, especially when you are about to make a decision or engage in a behavior that is directly related to what you intend to create. Let it act as a compass to guide you so that you keep moving in a straight line directly towards your goals regardless of what others may do.
So, for example, you might say, "Today I choose to be wealthy." Here are some sample times when you may want to repeat this to yourself: When you make deposits to your accumulation plan (I like the word "accumulation" much better than "savings"). When you spend money. I use this to check myself to see if I'm turning cash into trash, buying a doodad, or buying a potential asset. When you think you have to watch some television to unwind (instead of studying to be wealthy). As I'm listening to a success oriented audio book or studying financial intelligence. As I go to work. As I research assets to purchase. When I even think about using a credit card or some other type of debt.
I'm sure there are all kinds of other situations where I repeat it. What this does is set the direction of my thought to focus on activities that lead to wealth. I'm consciously choosing my thoughts rather than simply walking around unconscious of my thoughts and actions. It helps me think through the consequences of my actions in advance so that I make better choices.
Sometimes for variety, I may replace the word wealth with other variations, such as: Today I choose to accumulate wealth. Today I choose to be financially intelligent. Today I choose to create massive abundance. Today I choose to spend my money wisely. Today I choose to live debt free (that is no bad debt)
You get the idea.
This formula also works for far more than accumulating money. Let's say you need to improve your health or to loose weight. How about: Today I choose to be healthy. Today I choose to be thin.
Here is why this affirmation formula is so powerful. Once you reach the age where you can start to make choices, the quality of your life is largely governed by the choices you make for yourself. Every choice you make (either consciously or unconsciously) is a cause set in motion. If you want to improve the quality of your life, it starts by improving the quality of your thoughts and your choices. If you are not satisfied with the quality of your life, it won't change until you improve the quality of your thoughts and your choices.
This affirmation acts as a pattern interrupt to help you think through your action to make certain it is consistent with the choice you say you are making. This is why it is important to literally say the words, not just think them.
They also help you make better choices, because they are almost always going to be positive. Who in their right mind would say: Today I choose to be poor. Today I choose to accumulate massive debt. Today I choose to be fat. Today I choose to be unhappy. Today I choose to be rude and obnoxious.
I cringed even as I typed the words. I think back to a commercial I saw a while back that showed different children saying things like: "When I grow up I want to be under appreciated" or "I want to be downsized." I can't remember what the commercial was for, but it was very funny. Why? Because they were so serious--like they were saying "When I grow up, I want to be a doctor." The statements were obviously meant to be ridiculous.
But...how many of us unconsciously say these very things to ourselves by our negative thoughts, self-image, and actions--our choices?
Another reason this formula is so powerful is that it focuses your mind on "Today." Today, right now, is all we really have. You can't take actions in the past. You can only plan for the future (and planning is important--see http://www.poweraffirmations.com to review my personal planning process). But we can only make our choices and take action in the moment--now. Today. How many times did you plan to take a certain action, but didn't for one reason or another? That happens to all of us all the time--often for good reasons. While you must learn from the past and plan for the future, you have to live in the moment. In many ways, "time" is an illusion.
So, resolve to do to live consciously. Don't just make better choices, make outstanding choices. Here's a great thing about choice: as you consciously make outstanding choices, you have the added benefit of rejecting poor or mediocre choices without any extra effort. As these outstanding choices begin to stack on top of each other, it won't be long before you begin to see massive improvements in your life.
Here are some affirmations to choose from: Today I choose... to be wealthy. to live debt free. to live an abundant life. to be outstanding. to be successful. to buy assets. to be healthy. to be happy. to be grateful. to be an outstanding _________ (singer, business man or woman, accountant, etc.) to be courteous and kind. to be a good driver. to be neat and organized. to live at peace with myself and others. to forgive others. to be persistent. to be an outstanding community leader.
As you can see, the list is endless and the formula is simple. Use it to start making better choices today!

The Law of Attraction in ACTION! Action step: Practice
12th February 2007
Author: Mary Ayers, PhD
How often have you heard yourself say that you wanted to do something, but your actions led you in another direction? So often we dream about things that we would like to do or be, but we never actually start doing or being that thing. While it is great to have an intention about what we want, the secret to attracting these things into your life is to take action. Action lets the universe know that you are ready to receive. If you want to be less stressed, more patient, easier to get along with, or healthier, then practice being that way. You become what you practice.
The old adage is true: "Practice makes perfect." Yet we seem to keep practicing what we don't want in our lives. We say that we want to become less stressed, but we keep doing things that contribute to our stress level. We say that we want to lead a more fulfilling life, but we continue to practice being unfulfilled by doing things that leave us empty and drained. We say that we want to be healthier but practice being unhealthy by continuing to eat poorly and exercising little.
Becoming what you want most takes consciously putting our attention on the things we want to see more of and that takes practice. By practicing consistently, the habits we wish to form in our lives become second nature. Ask any professional athlete how they made it to the pros and they will tell you that intensive practice was a huge part of the equation. They had to practice being what they are now.
Practice is not only important when it comes to behaviors and habits such as being healthy, less stressed, or patient, but it is just as important when it comes to our life goals for career, family, relationships, and finances. If your goal is to land a certain position in the company that you work for, practice for it. Start by seeing the company from the point of view of someone already in that position. Practice looking the part and acting the part. In doing so, you not only prepare yourself for the position, but you also enable others to envision you there. Once other people, particularly decision-makers, can envision you in the position, you are more than halfway to achieving your goal.
The same principle holds true in relationships. Being in a strong, loving, and mutually beneficial relationship takes practice. By practicing the habits you want to manifest in a relationship, you build the one that you want. If you want to receive love, then practice giving love. If you want to have more fun, then practice being a fun person. If you don't want to bicker, then practice not needing to be right all the time. If you want romance, then practice being romantic. If you want to attract people into your life with these qualities, then practice these qualities in your own life. The people you attract to your life are a reflection of you and the habits you practice most.
The person that you are right now is a reflection of what you practice most. You are constantly attracting these things into your life. When you look in the mirror, what does your reflection say about the habits you practice? Do you reflect kindness? Hard work? Anger? Prosperity? Love? Patience? Acknowledge the good habits you have established and want to continue to practice. Take the time to acknowledge that you made the decision to create a fabulous life and you are taking deliberate action to attract that life to you. You truly are amazing!
Dr. Mary Ayers of Momentum Coaching helps people who desire to use the Law of Attraction to live a life of joy and ease and create the fabulous life they are dreaming of. Are you serious about putting The Law of Attraction into ACTION! to create your fabulous life? Take the FREE ecourse at http://www.liveyourfabulouslifenow.com.

Wealth Consciousness and Law of Attraction
I know with 100% certainty that every person in this life has an abundance of money, I‘m not talking about the ability comfortably get by, I’m talking about staggering millions, billions or even trillions of dollars
But as we will learn prosperity and abundance has nothing to do with actual money but everything to do with peace of mind, joy and pure bliss. As a Ralph Waldo Emerson said “Without a rich heart, wealth is an ugly beggar.”
The reason so many have so much abundance and prosperity and not have their hands on it yet is because they are blocking it one way or another, and to have access to this abundance we deserve is to tear down the blocks
By blocks I mean the following
Self sabotage
Fear of success
Ignorance
Self doubt
Insecurity
Low self esteem
These blocks are not present at birth but are learned as we go through life from parents, media, society. Just as these these blocks are learned they can be unlearned just as easily.
“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.”– Alvin Toffler
Fortunately there are ways to unlearn all of the bad habits we’ve been programmed with. These are not the only tools available but the only ones I’m aware of at this stage.
Prayer
Affirmations
Meditation
Hypnotherapy
Counseling
Coaching
These tools with assist you in building a powerful belief system that can elevate your wealth consciousness and help us open to receive the abundance that is our birth right.

Six Steps To Stop Self-Sabotage Now
13th September 2005
Author: Eve Delunas
Six Steps To Stop Self-Sabotage NowCopyright ? 2005 Eve Delunas, Ph.D.Inner Vision Resourceshttp://www.innervisionresources.com/
Are you a captive of your past? Or have you released the past and liberated yourself from its hold on you? When you refuse to allow your history to imprison you, you choose a path of self-determination. Letting go of the past is your personal "declaration of independence" from anything in your earlier years that could limit your creative potential or prevent you from living your best life.
How can you tell if past events are still having a negative effect on you today? Here are three signs to look for:
1. Certain situations trigger extreme, out-of-control emotional reactions. It feels as if you go on "auto-pilot" and have little or no control over the way you feel or behave once certain internal buttons have been pushed. For example, Marta trembles with fear at the thought of asserting herself with her boss, who overburdens Marta with an excessive workload. Joe goes into a rage when he believes he is being accused of making an error, however insignificant. Ben is consumed with jealousy when he catches his girlfriend smiling at a stranger.
2. All of the logical solutions and practical approaches to changing your out-of-control reactions have failed. Your head may say "this is ridiculous" but you can't stop yourself from over-reacting with anger, sadness, fear, shame, guilt, or jealousy to a situation that just doesn't merit that kind of emotional energy.
3. You keep making the same unhealthy choices over and over again. Although you may vow that you are going to set a new course, your default mode is set on self-destruct. You can't seem to keep yourself from repeating the same mistakes-even though you know better. Elizabeth continues to have relationships with married men, despite of years of heartache from other married lovers. Mark lies to his manager and coworkers, although that behavior led to Mark's dismissal from his last two jobs.
What can you do if you are under the negative spell of your past? Here are some steps you can take which will neutralize the effect that the past has on you:
1. Reclaim your power by refusing to think of yourself as a victim. This does not mean you deny the bad things that have happened to you. Rather, it means you embrace your wholeness rather than your brokenness. Everything you have lived has strengthened your psychological immune system. Recognize your capacity to thrive in spite of the hardships that have come your way, and watch your life begin to mirror your more empowered sense of Self.
2. Retire your need to blame anyone-including your self-for your present unhappiness. Blame only weighs you down with unnecessary baggage that inhibits you from moving forward. Release blame and feel yourself lighten up.
3. Forgive yourself for your mistakes. Everybody makes them-that's how we learn. Stop berating yourself with your so-called failures, and use that extra energy to create the life you desire today.
4. Make peace with your past. If certain unpleasant memories still hold a high degree of emotional charge, let a qualified therapist assist you in healing those wounds to loosen the psychological hold those traumatic episodes have on you.
5. Change the thoughts you entertain about yourself. Monitor your mental landscape to avoid habitual, self-limiting ways of thinking. When you catch yourself engaging in old thought patterns like, "I don't deserve to be happy" or "I'm not good enough," deliberately choose new thoughts that feel better to you.
6. Stop using your past as a point of comparison to your present and future. No matter what you have lived before, today can be different. Instead of focusing on how your life has been, place your attention on how you want your life to be. Keep your eye on the road ahead rather than the one behind you, and watch your life take you to the places you have dreamed of going!
As you let go of your past, you free yourself to live the life you truly desire. Step into the Now, and discover the unlimited potential for joy that awaits you there.
