I cannot make new decisions with the same mindset that created my problems in the first place.
In all my years of being a counselor, being in recovery myself, and working with others I have expressed this concept in many different ways.
The bottom line is, I created my difficulties when I held certain beliefs and thoughts.
I cannot create different outcomes until I change my beliefs and thoughts.
The shift happened when I decided to be honest about every secret I held within.
I became willing to take responsibility and accountability for every action, reaction, and outcome I created.
This process has been going on for many years, and I get to continue to grow into deeper understanding each time I encounter a shift.
I get to enjoy living in freedom, health and happiness.
Today I choose to live in compassion, honesty, humility, empathy, acceptance, appreciation, kindness, and love.
May each of you allow yourself the gift of living in health and happiness.
You are Love and Loved.
