Many people who’ve come to us over the years find themselves frustrated with the challenges they have in their lives. Often, the same challenges and issues keep cropping up again and again. A common one, for example, is going from one unworkable painful relationship to another just like it.

As John said, many folks are convinced they’re stuck in an unhappy mudhole of a life because of something or someone in their past. And yet, friends, it’s never your past that is creating your present. It is you that is creating your present, every moment, every experience.

The past certainly is a part of who you are now. Because of your past, you are where and who you are now. And your choices today will create your experiences tomorrow.

Having said that, however, you must remember you are the creator of your reality, of all your experiences, whether you consider them good or bad. If you are seeing someone or something in your past as the cause of whatever you’re experiencing now, you’re giving your power away. You are making yourself a victim. And that serves no one well.

It’s not really the past that’s controlling, or even influencing, you now. It’s your attention to the past in this present moment. Nothing comes into your awareness or your experience by accident. It’s all there because you drew it to yourself with your thoughts, with the vibration you put out there.

It sometimes can seem hard to let go of the past. And yet that’s the only way to healing yourself in the present moment.

This has little to do with forgiving. It’s fine to forgive. But as long as you just forgive, you’re still lingering in your past pain. In forgiving someone, you’re still focusing on the hurt they supposedly created in your life. And that gets you nowhere. You need to take one further step -- and that is to forget.

When you make the choice to heal yourself, and to own your considerable power, you will never again be stuck.

Barry Neil Kaufman said in his book, Outsmarting Your Karma and Other Preordained Conditions:

"Psychoanalysis is skin-diving into a bathtub of old bones . . . ."

There are half a dozen trees down by the lake that appear to be covered or wrapped in a fine white ghostly shroud.

Looking closer , I see spider webs, The whole tree is covered in white spider webs. Weird . One sick tree, poor thing.

I look at the surrounding trees and six of them look exactly the same. Dead. No green leaves or shoots. Sad. I hope this does not spread to the other trees. Creepy thought .

Today I received an email from a close friend of mine in which she spewed out her anger and judged me mercilessly.

I 've never experienced anger like that directed at me before.

Today I felt the full impact of her wrath and my whole body trembled as I read her words .

At the same time , I also felt some delight that she was expressing what she felt.

It's quite weird.

I have spent time this morning going through every sentence asking myself if there is any truth in what she says and what parts of it I can own.

" I am a student of life and I love it ! "
