“Changing your attitude from wanting something to having it is simple. You just must decide that it’s already within you, in spirit. Yet, many people have difficulty going from wanting something to having it because they believe that, if it’s not actually in their physical possession, they don’t have it. Actually, the opposite is true.

It isn’t until you know that you have it within you that you can produce it in your life. It isn’t out there somewhere in the world for you to go get. It’s inside your own being and needs only to be brought out of you into the world and into your life. Deciding that you already have it is making a commitment to yourself that you’re willing to make your dream real. Also, be grateful that you have it, for your appreciation and gratitude open you up and make you the beneficiary of life’s abundance.”

“Keeping in mind that every thought has a physical counterpart, you can see that these ego-produced elements materialize in your body in specific ways. The presence of this constant state of tension that comes from proving yourself, hurrying, chattering, worrying, chasing, acquiring and competing produces the same kind of results in your physical body. The accompanying tension that goes with all of these ego-engendered thoughts involves tension in the body.

High blood pressure, ulcers, skin disorders, headaches, back pain and even more serious ailments such as cancer, strokes and liver disorders are payoffs for the dominance of the ego. These disorders manifest because you allow ego to create turmoil to avoid the peace that is found within.”

“If you want to achieve something that has always eluded you, for this day act as if it were already here. For example, if you have always wanted to be in excellent physical shape, but have never achieved it, act as if today you are a perfect physical specimen. Ask yourself, “What would I do if I were in perfect condition?” Then be that person today. Walk instead of driving to the store. Swim fifty laps. Eat properly. Exercise. Read a book on nutrition. In other words, live in the physical world as if that which you want in your mind were here already. This is the avenue of miracle making. If you want to be confident but don’t normally act that way, today, just this once, act in the physical world the way that you believe a confident person would.”

“What about the future? Can you believe that if you keep on thinking the same thoughts, saying the same words, doing the same things, going in the same direction, the future will be any different than now? To look to the future as a savior without changing the present is to think an orange tree can grow from an acorn.

Yes, you can change the direction of your life, but changes can’t happen in the past or the future; they can only happen in the NOW. At each now moment there exists an unlimited amount of possibilities, which makes anytime a good time for a new beginning. In fact, every moment is a new beginning. You don’t have to wait for a new year to resolve to make a new life. You are, right now, at the junction of what you were and what you can be. This junction of your life, this now moment, is ripe with possibilities.”

“Forgiveness is the only way to heal. We can choose to forgive because we feel compassion for ourselves. We can let go of the resentment and declare, “That’s enough! I will no longer be the big Judge that goes against myself. I will no longer beat myself up and abuse myself. I will no longer be the Victim.”

First, we need to forgive our parents, our brother, our sisters, our friends, and God. Once you forgive God, you can finally forgive yourself. One you forgive yourself, the self-rejection in your mind is over. Self-acceptance begins, and the self-love will grow so strong that you will finally accept yourself just the way you are. That’s the beginning of the free human. Forgiveness is the key.”
