“Do-Overs”

Life is a grand do-over.
The New Year is an opportunity to do it all differently.
If you can see the mistakes made with forgiveness and peace, you can easily and quickly do it all over.
If you judge the choices you made with blame and/or guilt, it will be difficult to do it over well.

Where we judge, we hold grievances.
Where we hold grievances, we cannot see or think clearly.
Where we are angry at ourselves or others, we cannot Love, trust, appreciate and relate with kindness.
Where we are hurt, afraid or guilty, we cannot  know and see what we really want.

Any defensive position causes us to contract the flow of positive creative and inspired energy.
Any avoidant pattern is more focuses on “trying not to be or do” rather than “What can I do?”
Any focus on what we resist, attracts more of the same.
Any time we proclaim, “I will never …..”, we are focused on what we fear and don’t want.

The mind hears and sees and imagines and is focused on “not seeing the elephant”!
We must choose to hold in mind what we do value and want to experience.
We must imagine and believe we can have and create what we do want.
We must allow ourselves to ”feel” it or “fake it, until we Make it.”

When you can let go of the negative thoughts and feelings, you have a new canvas on which to create.
When we “heal” ,we must see and know and appreciate our wholeness and wellness and life energy.
When we focus on what we can do and fully enjoy it, what we can do will grow and expand.
When we easily and quickly release the negatives, we can seek and find the positives.

Do-overs can refer to the karma of repeating the same experience again and again.
Do overs can be punishing ourselves for our mistakes, by experiencing what we caused.
Do overs can be forgiving and learning from our mistaken or ignorant choice and choosing again.
Do overs can be washing the slate clean, and creating a new experience of what we value.

What we value can come from our past history, programming, cultural pressure, etc.
What we value can come from what ego seeks to achieve from  life, ie fame, glory, power, wealth, etc.
What we value can come from inspired guidance and inner direction, ie peace, wisdom, love and joy.
What we value is what we focus on, choose moment by moment and directs our live choices.

When you do over your life…….. 
Forgive your judgments, recognize the learning and appreciate the gifts.
Choose the experience you want to have and put all your attention on where you are going.
Give yourself credit for each step in the right or positive direction.  
(You will know what is right because you feel happy and peaceful!…….,Good about what you are doing.)

Life is a failsafe system.
We do not finish the job until we get it “right”.
We may take much longer than we need, because we are “hell bent” on hating ourselves or others.
We may resist true forgiveness, not realizing it thwarts our own happiness, inner peace and completion.

Enjoy the opportunities to do it all over, until you are satisfied and happy with yourself
Appreciating us all as we learn the Loving Way to live!
