All forgiveness is self forgiveness.

By all means give vent to your anger, let it out in nondestructive ways--if you are still deciding to have it. But begin to think of yourself as someone who can learn to think new thoughts when you are frustrated, so that the immobilizing anger can be replaced by more fulfilling emotions. Annoyance, irritation, and disappointment are feelings that you will very likely continue to experience, since the world will never be the way you want it. But anger, that hurtful emotional response to obstacles, can be eliminated.

If your message to the universe is gimme, gimme, gimme, the universe's response back to that kind of mentality is exactly the same.

The universe's response back to you is how may I serve you? How may I serve you?

Live today. Remove all blame from your vocabulary. Catch yourself when you find yourself using your past history as a reason for your failure to act today, and instead say, 'I am free now to detach myself from what used to be.'

For instance, when I sat down to write the book The Power of Intention, I had a very strong internal knowing that I call thinking from the end.

Can you see the beauty in a cockroach?
