You Choose!

IT IS YOUR LIFE. 

MAKE IT COUNT!

Affirmations:

I listen within and choose the highest Good.

I trust the choices I make.

I free myself to be myself.

I learn from everyone and everything, including myself.

Who Makes Choices for You?

Do you let others tell you what to do?

Do you allow strangers to make you wrong?

Do you sing what is being sung?

Do you do what is popular and go along?

Do you have your own identity?

Do you take steps to set yourself free?

Do you give in and conform?

Do you judge yourself by what others are and do?

Choose for yourself.

Gather information before you decide.

Make your choices with trust and pride.

Be the one you want to be.

Everyone has an opinion.

Everyone has their reasons why.

Everyone has a belief about what is good or bad.

Why not take the time to choose for yourself?

There is no one to blame, when you take full responsibility.

There is only you to trust and choose.

You can make up your own mind.

You can live your own life and learn.

It takes a willingness to be true to you.

And when you don’t know, what to do? 

Take a risk and try it out.

You will always learn what comes about.

Life is meant to be a solitary journey of exploration and learning.

When we choose to play it safe, we get in the pack and forget the race.

When we choose to play it small, we often don’t have a voice at all.

When we choose to play it big, we choose the music at our own gig.

We seem to think life belongs to the teachers, preachers and other stars.

We seem to give our power to those rich and famous, expert and loud.

We seem to imagine we might get hurt if standing out of the crowd.

We can choose to listen within and take each step with freedom and trust to win.

With so many choices and so many voices, how can you decide?

Listen within to your own heart and will.

Listen to what moves you with gratitude and joy.

Listen to what empowers and inspires you to keep going.

Choose what works for you.

Choose to follow or to lead.

Choose to play it small or big.

Choose to be happy or live with regret.

The lessons we are here to learn will show up.

If we don’t get them once, they simply come again.

If we listen closely, we get them quickly and easily.

Life gives us a pass and we have fun, safety and ease.

Make your own choices and learn.

Loving the learning,

Seeking Help?

LISTEN TO YOUR NEEDS.

ASK AND RECEIVE GUIDANCE.

Affirmations:

I learn from everything and everyone.

Everyone is my teacher, mentor, support and guide.

I listen within for what is right and true for me.

I know what I need and give it to myself generously.

Need Guidance?

If you need help and support, find a mentor or sponsor.

If you need someone to talk to, find a counselor or therapist.

If you need encouragement and inspiration, find a coach or spiritual director.

If you need a role model or example, find someone who leads an exemplary life.

There are folks all around us to teach us and show us how.

There are professionals who are trained to listen and support.

There are lay folks in programs taught to mentor and sponsor.

There are a few folks who live the kind of life you really want for yourself.

Take time to seek what you want.

Go to the ones who have what you are looking for.

Trust people who are living what they teach.

Always listen for who really cares and shares and dares to be there for you.

Life offers a circle of humanity.

We stand next to those with whom we have a teaching-learning connection.

In every encounter there is much to be given and received.

In every experience we can gain what we want to have and discard.

Be willing to honor your own intuition and inner knowing.

Be open to ask questions to satisfy your curiosity and yearning.

Be hones with what works for you and what does not work.

Be trusting of yourself to let go when not right and perfect for you.

You are the captain of your own life journey.

This is your life to choose how and with whom you play.

Time is on your side so you can choose and choose again.

Forgiveness is an eraser filled with love to undo what is not true for you.

Choose where you stand in your circle and with whom you relate.

Lead where you would rather not follow.

Step out when what is being played is not right for you.

Release quickly and easily when you are not at peace within.

You can choices and chances to make and to take leading you where you want to go.

Give yourself the help and support you need to be where you want to be.

Do the right things to learn what is true for you.

Honor yourself for being willing to choose and be responsible for your choice.

Love works for you.

Apologize and Make Amends

NEVER TOO LATE TO HEAL.

I AM SORRY. PLEASE FORGIVE ME. 

THANK YOU. I LOVE YOU.

Affirmations:

I forgive myself for any harm I may have caused anyone, anywhere and anytime.

I acknowledge and forgive anyplace, conscious or unconscious, I have been unloving or unkind.

I relinquish all attack, resentment or limiting beliefs.

I clear any and all unkind thoughts, words and behavior.

Apologies and Amends!

Whatever harm you have done, make amends.

Whatever stories you have told, apologize.

Whatever wrong you have committed, confess your mistakes.

Whatever hurt you have caused, do whatever you can to heal it.

It may never be enough to the ones who were hurt or humiliated, but you can begin to heal yourself.

It may never right the wrong, but you can acknowledge what was your true intention.

It may never clear the guilt and shame, hurt and pain, but you can begin to forgive yourself.

It may never be enough to clean up the loss, separation and upset, but begin to do the work.

Life gives us opportunities to heal and reveal the hidden truth.

Life teaches us lessons of right and wrong, so we can learn to listen to our conscience.

Life shows us what works and doesn’t work, so we can make smart choices.

Life shines a light on what is good for one and all, so we can choose with compassion.

We all can make amends for our ignorance.

We can make apologies for being inconsiderate.

We can stop telling hurtful stories on ourselves and others.

We can give up name-calling, shaming and blaming.

We all can stop the fad of crude language and disrespectful communication.

We can each put at end to negative trends which offend.

We can individually stop hiding from the secrets of our past.

We can become aware, confess, and forgive the foolish errors.

Whenever we feel guilt, we can forgive ourselves.

When we feel resentment, we can forgive ourselves.

When we feel hurt, we can forgive ourselves.

When we feel foolish, we can forgive ourselves.

Forgiveness is key to undoing what seemed to be.

Forgiveness erases what was and allows love to flow.

Forgiveness is letting go of the blocks to love’s flow.

Forgiveness gives us the freedom to make things right again.

When will we mend the separation?

When will we stop humiliation?

When we begin honest conversation?

When will we choose reparation?

There is so much healing we can do.

Let us start with me and you.

Forgiving all errors in my mind, words and behavior…for myself and all humanity.

Forgiveness sets us free to begin again.

How Much Love?

YOU ARE LOVE ITSELF.

LOVING  IS FUN, SAFE & EASY.

SO WHY NOT SIMPLY LOVE? 

Affirmations:

Love created me to Love.

I choose to remember to Love myself and all creation.

Love works because it is the only Truth.

Love is the way I live and breathe and free myself to be happy.

Where Is The Love?

How much Love are you hiding?

How much Love are you withholding?

How much Love are you denying?

How much Love are you showing?

There is plenty of Love within us.

There is more than enough Love around us.

There is an abundance of Love creating us.

There is unlimited Love providing for us.

So, where is the Love?

What is the fear?

How have we limited Love?

Why are we hiding our Love?

It seems that fear has confused us.

It may be that darkness as deluded us.

Or perhaps we fear Love.

Have we learned that Love is dangerous, difficult and serious?

Love is fun, safe and easy!

Loving is our natural state!

Giving Love is why we are here!

Love makes fear disappear!

Love is our natural state.

Why do we hesitate?

What makes us choose fear instead of Love?

How can we release Love to be Love all the time?

Love hurts, some have said.

Love can cause pain and problems, some believe.

Love is only for a special few, egos believe.

Love is to be earned not freely given, many believe.

If Love is conditional on what we get, how can it be love?

If Love will be taken away when we make a mistake, it must not be Love.

If Love is for the special few, we need to try very hard to be good enough to be loved.

And so it is, we learn falsely about what is natural and true within us.

We Are Love.

We are created by Love, as Love for the purpose of Loving.

Therefore, when we are anything other than Love, we have made a mistake about ourselves.

When we give ourselves anything other than Love, we are in error.

I choose today and every day to return to Love and remember Who I Am!

Betty Lue

LOVE

There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer;

No disease that enough love will not heal;

No door that enough love will not open;

No gulf that enough love will not bridge;

No wall that enough love will not throw down;

No sin that enough love will not redeem.

 

 It makes no difference 

  how deeply seated may be the trouble,

How hopeless the outlook,

How muddled the tangle,

How great the mistake. 

A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all.

 

 If only you could love enough, you would be the happiest 

and most powerful being in the world.
