I used to believe that I was powerless to influence my own life. I believed that because my parents always told me to do something different than I wanted to do, I learned to believe that everything I wanted was bad for me. And I learned to mistrust my own internal guidance system. I know that my parents were only trying to help me and I completely love and accept them. But I know now that the only way I can grow is by trying new things. I don’t expect to be good at it because after all it is brand new. I know that there is no such thing as failure and there is no such thing as mistakes. They are really just the steps I had to go through in order to learn that new thing. I never see anything as a failure. I only see it as what it took to learn that new thing, and even if it doesn’t work out that way I had hoped I am very proud of myself that I was willing to try new things. I completely love and trust myself. Even when I am not good at something I am always willing to try again, and it is easier the next time because of what I have learned. In the same way that I am always kind to others when they do something that doesn’t work out well, I am always kind to myself when it doesn’t work out well. I am a person who is happy and calm no matter what other people are doing. I am a person who is happy and calm no matter what is going on around me, because I know that there are no stressful situations there are only stressful thoughts about situations. I forgive my parents that they are stressed out about situations but I am not like that and from this day forward I choose to be the master of my emotions. With total trust in the divinity within me I move forward with faith every day. I persist until I succeed and am never disappointed in any outcome because I am a person who is happy and calm no matter what situations are going on around me. I do not take myself too seriously. I laugh at situations that other people would freak out about. I love myself and accept myself and relax into my day. I live in the moment and feel joy every day.
Thank you, self, for forgiving me for having held onto that for so long.
I love you, self. I love you.
It is done!
