“Me and 2023” Blog #100
Millions of words written about how to “Fix my life”…. is there anything new?
Probably the most astounding words ever told to me is this:
‘LET IT GO, LET IT ALL GO AND KNOW THAT WITH FORGIVENESS, I AM BETTER NOW”.
If I can count to ten now and tell myself - “the old me is gone - here’s why?
I am going to erase the old movies of all my anger, resentment and fear and start a file in
my mind called the “Old sick file”. I can send everything there for another rainy day - but
I don’t go thru the file - I just keep adding to it…. watch what happens. No more getting
frustrated with others, because we are all on our own separate path learning and
struggling and moving along as we are suppose to. With no judgement of others - I can
focus on myself. However, here in lies the rub, IF there is a family member who needs
forgiving and i have not done this, it will NOT GO AWAY. Every single situation is in my life
as a “LIFE LEARNING LESSON’. Mine (and your) best WARNING LIGHTS ARE THESE - Anger -
frustration - resentment - judgement - fear - blame!!
“I now take full responsibility for what I have to do and then “LET GO of the REST”. IF I can
believe this now, I am changed in a positive way instantly! Now I will be consistent in my
positive behavior daily. (I always ask for HIS HELP.)
When I am carrying around all my “stuff”, all the dark memories, all the anger and all the
resentment, (things I feel happened unfairly), I am a broken person. Even a person who is
constantly rationalizing things, will admit to this:
There is nothing I can do about my past. I cannot bring it back. I cannot fix it. I can only
do one positive thing about it, LEARN FROM WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME.
The hardest thing to do is to find humility. My toughest thing to do, is to admit it. The
easiest part to all of this is to see the positive, the healing and the love! Every one of us
alive, want to be loved. We seek out love. We crave love. Yet, HOW do we go about
finding love, permanent, unconditional, true love? The greatest Love there is ….Lies right
here in the heart and soul and being of ME.
Jesus Christ knows my pain and absorbs it today. HE is listening and HE understands.
Yet, me….with my own “FREE WILL” I must INVITE HIM IN. It is now the end of this year.
I now promise a powerful vow: I LET GO. I let it all go. it’s filed safely away now. ALL THE
PAIN I HAVE INSIDE. ALL THE THINGS I CANNOT FIX. ALL MY SORROW. FILED AWAY.
Looking back, over just this past year, there has been tremendous challenge. Each of us
can admit to feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, ready to throw in the towel. There is no
place in this world where any little book has told us, ‘life will be easy’. Yet, it is in the details,
the tiny parts that suddenly give us courage to change,, the littlest, amazing light internally
goes on, and shows us the way. Who am I speaking to out there? You and me, and each
one of us. We all know who we are, we know what we have to do to change our behavior
in a positive manner. There is an itinerary of sorts that each of us have agreed to at an
unconscience level, before we even got here. We agreed to learn, we agreed to help
others and internally we should all want to grow, and learn and evolve. How to do this?
Remember the old saying, “the devils in the details?” We need to start today with one
thing we have been putting off. Maybe its a person closest and nearest and dear to our
heart. What can I do to “break the ice?” Tonight I can ask quietly. This is between myself
and God. Then I will know what I must do. There is not a single other person who can take
my mission from me - I cannot listen to anyone but HIM, who shows me the way. I CAN DO
THIS.
Finally - here is a short list of my NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS - this is mine, what’s yours?
I am posting this on my refrigerator so I can find the new highway to my better self.
I can read either the Old or New Testament - starting tomorrow
I now take each morning and pray - ending each night with prayerful meditation
I earnestly can find one person who I can inspire, daily or weekly (It starts with me)
Daily, I eat at least ONE complete healthy meal. Drinking 1/2 my body weight in water
I now find time to spend 30 minutes each day walking/exercizing
Driving, I Listen to uplifting, light filled, Christian Music
I can find a good healing book to read on a weekly basis
I will attend church/any church weekly even if it is “Online”
I dress nicely every day - especially if I stay at home
I search up something positive to look forward to every week/month
It’s amazing how powerful I feel when starting & ending my day with:
Protection Prayer: (Memorized)
“The light of God surrounds me
The love of God enfolds me
The power of God protects me
The presence of God watches over me
wherever I am, God is and all is well. Amen”
All of these ideas are amazingly helpful - for any person who decides to try…..
Do I make time now to sit down and create my Best Self for 2024?
God bless you in 2024!
