Letting go of stress means that you can enjoy your life.

I’ve learned that fear is simply an illusion based on past experiences that we project into the present and onto the future.

We won't let ourselves feel our anger, rage, and pain. We push it down or anesthetize it through drugs, alcohol, shopping, or whatever we do in order not to feel it. When that memory and the associated feelings get lodged down there in our soul, the feelings are still there. They don't just magically go away. We have to give ourselves the opportunity to feel them.

Sometimes your higher self will guide you to make mistakes so you can learn lessons.

The first thing is to be willing. You must become willing to feel the discomfort that's occurred and/or shown up. Some of it is taking ownership of your part in the situation, to clean it up and be willing to make amends.

You have to be ready to receive help, whether that be through a book, a therapist or counselor, or a doctor of some kind. That willingness can lead you through a door to the other side, and that's where healing can truly begin.

I am willing to see things differently. I am willing to see love.
