“I am under the law of my own consciousness.”
~ Louise Hay
Never, ever give up. That was my motto, my goal, my life’s work and accomplishment summarized in one phrase. Never giving up. So praise-worthy. So upright. So noble.
And so dead wrong at times because sometimes giving up can be a really good thing! [Read more…] about Why Giving Up Can Be a Good Thing
I wish I could show you, when you are lonely or in darkness, the Astonishing Light of your own Being. ~Hafiz
It turns out there is after all a name for that irrational, incessant and intrusive behavior which we so precisely insert between ourselves and success. It doesn’t take a psychology degree to recognize this mental obstacle. It is called self-sabotage and it is a beast.
