I am entering a new phase in my life. What they say is true, forgiveness is the best medicine. Forgive all those who have harmed you in anyway, and your heart is set freer, lighter. When you forgive others, you learn how to forgive yourself. You learn to have more compassion for yourself.

I now want to spend more time counting my blessings, for when you focus on the positive it tends to multiply in intensity and greatness. The more you focus on the positive the fuller your life becomes.

I am also trying not to dwell in the painful memories of my past as much. This takes courage. It takes believing in me and very importantly others. I must believe that others are good hearted and will keep confidences. I must believe that there are good honorable people in life and from this belief these people will be naturally attracted to me. This is of course “The Law of Attraction”.

So counting my blessings, I must be thankful for everything positive in my life. I must look to where my life is and why it is where it is. It is amazing, whether you believe in God or not, there is an energy we dispel into the world that somehow comes back to us.

For the longest time I prayed to be in a situation where I was able to spend most of my time learning and writing. Now, I currently write freelance articles from home, though the pay is not what I want, ironically, I received exactly what I asked for. I must be thankful that my prayers were answered, but now, I must ask or envision a clearer picture of what I want.

Whatever position you are at in your life; career, relationship, etc. you are there for a reason. A big part of life’s lesson, I have learned is to understand why you are where you are and to decide whether you want to remain there or if you need to continue moving in another direction. Though we might not want to believe it, we have placed ourselves exactly where we are in our lives for a reason.

Logically communication passes from another person through language. However, often we communicate more than through just words. Body language, physical ailments, and emotional ailments are also ways that we communicate what our limited range of vocabulary fails to do so at times. Keep your eyes open. See others with the heart of a child. Yes, we all still have that child inside of us. When you do this, you will see so much more and your life will only grow richer and more beautiful, every single day.
