When I began my spiritual journey I felt so stuck. It seemed like no matter what I tried the results I got were the same. I kept creating the same pattern over and over again.
This (whatever the current book or process was) is the answer. I knew this would work this time. I would be all excited and hopeful, work really hard and before I knew it I would feel overwhelmed and hopeless all over again.
Eventually I decided there was something so inherently wrong with me that nothing would work. It was me. I was defective, unfixable and a hopeless case. At a core level I was unworthy and unlovable, after all that was what my mother kept telling me and the results I was getting affirmed that.
In hindsight I realized I kept trying to punish myself or polish myself into perfection. If only I was perfect then I would be happy and successful.
Now I know I had it all backwards. I kept trying to move away from pain so I kept creating more pain to move away from. Once I started moving toward happiness and joy instead I created more joy and happiness to move toward. Believe me it was a much more enjoyable journey.
You can move away from fear or toward love. Guess what? Whatever you choose to move away from you create more of so begin to move toward what you do want rather than away from what you don’t want.
So the question becomes very simple.
What do you want more of?
What DO you want? Focus on that and it will appear.
And remember:
Only the love is real.
You swim in a sea of love.
You are love, you are loved and you are lovable.
You are perfect just the way you are.

That was spot on, Susan! I have a whole list of I AM affirmations that R. J. Banks put out in his book The Power of the I AM and the the Law of Attraction.
Thank you, Susan.
Yes, we really are angels in a physical body and when we remember and live from that place life is truly magical.
With love, Susan
Dear Susan,
I too have read various books and done different activities to remove ‘my’ anxiety all the while missing the key to success that of knowing that the pain and anxiety was created by and continued by my own thoughts and actions. “I AM” not anxiety or sadness or pain. “I simply AM.” Now I try to focus on my journey forward and remind myself that if I can create anxiety as a feeling or emotion, then I can also and willingly create happiness, love and joy. It may take some time to rearrange the neural connections in the brain, but “I AM” and that is all that matters. Thank you for all your reflections. Many have been exactly what I needed on a particular day. It is no coincidence that your messages found me.
Glad we connected Linda
Sending you lots of magical moments, Susan
