here's a payoff for everyone. The reason we hang on to self-defeating behaviors is because it's easier not to take responsibility.

Flexibility, openness and softness are consorting with life. When you are rigid and you know the answer and don't listen to other people's point of view, you are consorting with death. Everything that is old and close to death is brittle and breaks apart including our thinking. So always stay flexible and soft and listen to others with caring. And truthfully, all of the verses hit me - especially when you think about them for days, and then write on them.

Releasing guilt is like removing a huge weight from your shoulders. Guilt is released through the empowering thought of love and respect for yourself. Let go of standards of perfection and refuse to use up the precious currency of your life, the now, with thoughts that continue to frustrate and weaken you. Instead, vow to be better than you used to be, which is the true test of nobility.

I will see it when I believe it.

By surrendering, you create an energy field of receptivity for the solution to appear.

If you believe it will work out , you'll see opportunities. If you believe it won't you will see obstacles.
