Excerpts from Louise Hay "You are wonderful." "I love you." How often do you tell yourself that? It only accepts us at our own value. Then it reflects our beliefs in our lives. If I want to believe that life is lonely and that nobody loves me, then that is what I will find in my world. However, if I am willing to release that belief and to affirm for myself that "Love is everywhere and I am loving and lovable," and to hold onto that new affirmation and to repeat it often, then it will become true for me. Now, loving people will come into my life, the people in my life will become more loving to me, and I will find myself easily expressing love to others. MANY OF US HAVE FOOLISH IDEAS ABOUT WHO WE ARE AND MANY, MANY RIGID RULES ABOUT HOW LIFE OUGHT TO BE LIVED. This is not to condemn us, for each of us is doing the very best we can at this very moment. If we knew better, if we had more understanding and awareness, then we would do it differently. Please don't put yourself down for being where you are. Acknowledge that you are now ready to make a change in your life - you are reading this, aren't you? "Men don't cry!" "Women can't handle money!" What limiting ideas to live with. WHEN WE ARE VERY LITTLE, WE LEARN HOW TO FEEL ABOUT OURSELVES AND ABOUT LIFE BY THE REACTIONS OF THE ADULTS AROUND US. It is the way we learn to think about ourselves and about our world. Now, if you lived with people who were unhappy, frightened, irrational, guilty or angry then you learned a lot of negative things about yourself and about your world. "I never do anything right." "It's my fault." "If I get angry, I'm a bad person." Thoughts like that create a frustrating life. WHEN WE GROW UP, WE HAVE A TENDENCYTO RECREATE THE EMOTIONAL ENVIRONMENT OF OUR EARLY HOME LIFE. This is not good or bad, right or wrong. It is just what we know inside as "home." We also tend to recreate in our personal relationships the relationship we have with our mothers or with our fathers, or what they had between them. Think how often you have had a lover or a boss who was "just like" your mother or father. We also treat ourself the way our parents treated us. We scold and punish ourselves in the same way. You can almost hear the words when you listen. We also love and encourage ourselves in the same way, if we were loved and encouraged as children. "You never do anything right." "It's all your fault." How often have you said this to yourself. "You are wonderful." "I love you." How often do you tell yourself that? HOWEVER, I WOULD NOT BLAME OUR PARENTS FOR THIS. We are all victims of victims, and they could not possibly have taught us anything they did not know. If your mother did not know to love herself, or your father did not know how to live himself, then it would be impossible for them toteach you to love yourself. They were doing the best they could with what they had been taught as children. I BELIEVE WE CHOOSE OUR PARENTS. Each one of use decides to incarnate upon this planet at a particular point in time and space. We have chosen to come here to learn a particular lesson that will advance us on our spiritual evolutionary pathway. We choose our sex, our color, our country, and then we look around for the particular set of parents who will mirror the patterns we are bringing in to work on in this lifetime. Then, when we grow up, we usually point our fingers accusingly at our parents and whimper, "You did this to me." But really, we chose them because they were perfect for what we wanted to work on overcoming. We learn our belief systems as very little children, and then we move through life creating experiences to match our beliefs. Look back in your life and notice how often you have gone through the same experience. Well, I believe you created those experiences over and over because they mirrored something you believed about yourself. THE POINT OF POWER IS ALWAYS IN THE PRESENT MOMENT. All the events you have experienced in your lifetime up to this moment have been created by your thoughts and beliefs you have held in the past. However, that is your past. It is over and done with. What is important in this moment is what you are choosing to think and believe and say right now. For these thoughts and words will create your future. Your point of power is in the present moment and is forming the experience of tomorrow, next week, next month, next year. You might notice what thought you are thinking at this moment. Is it positive or negative? Do you want this thought to be creating your future? Just notice and be aware. Add This Entry To Your CureZone Favorites! Print this pageEmail this page  Alert Webmaster
