This is a book of ideas to spark our own creative thinking process. It gives us an opportunity to see other ways to approach our experiences. We come into this world with such a pure, clear mind, totally connected with our inner wisdom. As we grow, we pick up fears and limitations from the adults around us. By the time we reach adulthood, we have a lot of negative beliefs that we are not even aware of. And, we tend to build our lives and our experiences upon these false beliefs.

As you read this book, you may find statements that you do not agree with. They may clash with your own belief systems. That is all right. It is what I call stirring up the pot. You do not have to agree with everything I say. But please examine what you believe and why. This is how we grow and change.

When I first began on my pathway, I used to challenge many of the metaphysical things that I heard. The more I examined my own beliefs in relation to the new ideas, the more I realized that I believed many things that were contributing to the unhappiness in my life. As I began to release the old, negative concepts, my life also changed for the better.

Begin anywhere in this book. Open it at will. The message will be perfect for you at that moment. It may confirm what you already believe, or it may challenge you. It is all part of the growth process. You are safe and all is well.

I dwell in a world
of love and
acceptance.

I radiate acceptance.

If I want to be accepted as I am, then I need to be willing to accept others as they are. We always want to have our parents accept us totally, and yet often we are not willing to accept them as they are. Acceptance is giving ourselves and others the ability to just be. It is arrogant to set standards for others. We can only set standards for ourselves. And even then, we want them to be more like guidelines than standards. The more we can practice self-acceptance, the easier it is to drop habits that no longer serve us. It is easy for us to grow and change in an atmosphere of love.
