This is a great reminder for all of us that our thoughts become things. When I started this journey, I only had the faintest idea on what caused all my issues and now, I'm seeing a clearer picture. It was all me me me. Me thinking karma was going to bite me in the ass and take away the good things in my life. Me thinking people will always leave me. Me fearing I'll end up like my aunts who don't have good marriages etc etc

The best part of all this is knowing we control our lives and our story!

Well, I took a little longer to learn my lesson and headed from a really low vibe straight into my marriage! Which was emotionally abusive. Any wonder why? Yup. I created the exact same reality with my pattern of thinking. I hope everyone can learn from this!

We absolutely created all of it!  I was fearful,  insecure,  and had zero self worth or love for myself.  I was needy, desperate, clingy,  you name it 🙋

People have said to me that I'm simply lucky that I've had such an easy life..  UM,  HELLOOOOOO?!
I spent 10 years in an abusive marriage! My mom died in my arms while I was 8 months pregnant. Her first granddaughter. I broke my waters spectacularly and completely missed her funeral, giving birth instead. Let me tell you, THAT was tricky! But I create my world, and I quickly understood how to carve it out for myself. And life became incredibly beautiful. This will be the best year of my life. Absolutely. It already is 😊

I don't speak about negative things often, because it is unnecessary. But I've been bombarded lately with people lamenting how difficult it is for them. Well, I'm a single full-time working mommy with 2 babies, I'm training for a bodybuilding competition and I'm loving every minute. I understand pain, despair, hopelessness, fear, and every other emotion in between. It's just that I don't focus there anymore. I spend my time wisely in joy, gratitude, appreciation, forgiveness.....and I have an immense amount of love for my world and all the people in it.

For people who have had the worst time ever, to get through it and to now live a beautiful life, that is absolutely amazing

This story is a great reminder.  I'm not going to go into my relationship history but lets just say, It's been pretty grim. All my own creation of course. I discovered LOA more than three years ago, read so many books but never properly applied it due to a lifetime of negative thinking. It's been so challenging to discipline the mind into this new way of thinking. I have to say that I've had the best advice and knowledge from this forum, where it's all starting to make complete sense. Just needing to control those thoughts a bit better.

 
That simply takes determination 😘
