It's true. When you change your thinking, you will change your life. It's so simple and yet it may be one of the the most challenging things you will ever do. It's easy to get caught up in what everyone else is doing, what's popular and what society says we should be doing.
We also have our history and we get caught up in thinking that "It's just the way it is". It's not true. It's not just the way it is. You are capable of making major changes in your life and living in peace and not fear. You deserve to be happy and fulfilled.
Your soul knows, and try as you might to cover it up and put on a smile, the truth lies within you and you can feel the difference between thriving and dying on the inside.
There is a domestic violence shelter that I've given my time to, it's an emergency shelter and my message is always. "I'm SO glad you're here". I know that sometimes it takes feeling like you're living in hell to make a change. And, at that point, of almost giving up, great things are possible.
Our "My Agreements with Me for Believers" workbook is full of so many opportunities to investigate your thinking and heal from wounds and traumas that so many of us carry.
Acknowledging that it is time for change is the first step in taking deliberate action for yourself. Aren't you ready for a new or different experience of life? I promise you that if you are tired, broken and/or ready to quit, there is more for you. I know because I've been there.
