It's been a while since I have posted but, I would like to take the short amount of time I have right now to shoot you guys a little something I learned over the past couple weeks. I want to share what I have learned about forgiveness and how it applies to how we can have better lives.
Over the past couple of weeks I have been avidly reading a book by Joe Vitale called The Attractor Factor. In this book he explains how in 5 easy steps we can attract anything we want into our lives. The way we do this is from the inside out. Lets say that you want to improve a relationship or something. I wanted to attract a better relationship with my wife. I wanted us to be more in sync, I wanted us to have a deeper level of trust and love for one another and I wanted to be a better husband. In reading this book I discovered that all of that was on me. I simply had to change what I believed about myself.
Let me explain how this works. Whatever you think of yourself comes across to other people. If you feel like people don't trust you, it is because you don't trust yourself. If you feel like people don't like you, it's because you don't like yourself. Once you become more comfortable in your own skin miracles can take place. In the past two weeks remarkable changes have taken place in my life.
1. We got a puppy
2. My wife cut her hair short.
3. We had a really hard trial.
4. Because of the trial we were able to become much closer and more confident.
5. We turned to God in our hour of need and enjoy having the spirit dwell in abundance with us.
6. We have become very much in sync.
Those are but a few things that have happened and miracles are happening for us every day. Once we believed that we deserved all the blessings that God has to offer we began to see them made manifest in our lives. I am more confident in my ability to be the loving and supportive husband she deserves. I am more confident in my physical appearance. I now look forward to trials because the blessings aren't far behind.
I have done something that I deemed to be impossible. I have forgiven myself for all of my faults and I am grateful for them. They make me strive to be better. I now recognize them for the blessings that they are. If you start your day grateful for everything you have and let the feeling of love dwell in your heart I promise you, you will be given more things to be grateful for. To forgive yourself, something that popped into my head was to write a letter of apology. I sat down and said how sorry I am to MYSELF for sabotaging things in my life. For not being happy with who I am and for what I have. Being grateful for everything in my life has granted me more opportunities to be grateful.
Take some time out of each day and before you ask for one blessing, let God know how grateful you are for the gift of life, for your loved ones, for your job, for your home, for your friends and anything else. If you take some time to be grateful, God will take some time to bless you. I love you all. Your support and your love means so much to me. I love each and every one of you. Take some time to yourself and wrap yourself up in the feeling of love. You ARE loved. Until next time, Sterling out.
