What’s Holding You Back?

Blame, Guilt, Fear, History, Beliefs, Obligations, Doubt, Confusion, etc?
Each one of us as a part to play in the Greater Healing of Humanity.
Everyone of us has unique gifts, talents and resources to contribute.
All of us are here with a holy purpose or mission to accomplish.

Some don’t know and don’t care.
Some know and don’t want to.
Some don’t know and don’t know what they don’t know.
Some know and are holding themselves back.

We each are free to choose what, when, where and how we are going to live.
We each can wait, delay and even paralyze ourselves with fear and procrastination.
We each can block our momentum and depress ourselves into doing little or nothing.
We each can “sit on our laurels” (past achievements) and stop doing anything meaningful.

Life is a choice, every day, every relationship, every decision, every thought, word and activity.
We are the choosers.
We can create always and only meaningful interactions or engage in nothing at all.
We can judge, fear, doubt, blame, regret, and depress our energies in every possible way.

Distraction, delay, detours, depression, discouragement, denial, disappointment are all limiters.
We can forgive and choose again.
We can undo and create a new reality, a new beginning.
We can heal the past, forgive the past, release the past and begin again.

Ask yourself honestly to list every thought, belief, fear, concern, etc that holds you back.
Be thorough in your self disclosure.
Then looking at your list, ask if you are truly willing to let it all go and begin again.
The key to freedom and trust in creating a new future is totally and absolutely releasing the past.

Now is your time to free yourself.
Now is the time to trust your highest Self.
Now is your time to actualize your Self.
Now is your time and mine.

Let us make 2011 the best year ever.
We are free to BE.
Let it Be. Let us BE.

Loving you endlessly,
Betty Lue

Getting Free
(By Setting Others Free)
It is not unusual for us human beings to secretly wish and hope that the people we’re close to don’t become too magnificent. We don’t really want these significant others to be too free or too powerful or too creative or too successful or to dream too wild a dream. We actually prefer that they stay small, “manageable”, non-threatening, tame. After all, we don’t want to be made to feel uncomfortable or inadequate or diminished or challenged by the boldness and joyfulness with which someone else lives his or her life.
But, until we are willing and actively desire that the key people in our lives be totally free and powerful, we cannot be free and powerful ourselves. So, here is an affirmation-prayer that may help us begin freeing others, so that we can begin to free ourselves.

I, _____(your name)_____ want you, _____(his or her name)_____, to be the highest, clearest, most powerful expression of God that you can be. I would not limit you in any way, knowing that only as I encourage you to expand, explore and grow, can I myself be free. So I fully support you in being and expressing all that you are.
I want you to go where you feel called to go, to speak and act as you feel guided, and to express yourself in whatever ways seem right. There is nothing I do not want you to do, for I know that all movement is contained within God and always leads us to Him.
I am at peace with whatever decisions and choices you make, no matter how they may seem to affect me. Since I know that God loves and supports me perfectly, I know that however you choose to be with me must be a manifestation of that divine love and support. Because I trust God, I trust you. And because I trust you, I trust myself.
So, be free, be powerful, be unlimited. And know that I, _________, want you, _________, to be the highest, clearest, most powerful expression of God that you can be. I fully support you in being all that you are.
