For years, I believed life was against me.

I believed people were against me.

I believed circumstances were against me.

I believed the deck was stacked.

Here’s what I had to face: I wasn’t waking up to a hostile world. I was creating one with my beliefs.

A Course in Miracles tells us:

“Those whom you perceive as opponents are part of your peace which you are giving up by attacking them.”

Yes, ALL of it.

Every time I was looking for who might take advantage of me, who might withhold from me, who might disappoint me – I was magnetizing exactly that experience. Not because the world is hostile. Because I believed it was.

We sabotage ourselves by believing life is against us.

We sabotage ourselves by thinking there’s an opponent.

We sabotage ourselves by believing in lack and limitation.

Then we manifest, magnetize, and demonstrate experiences that don’t prove we’re right. They just prove we believe these things.

That’s on us.

I had to stop waiting for the world to change. I had to change my mind first.  That’s what shifted me from feeling like a victim to loving my life.

If we’re sitting around thinking peace will come from changing things in the world, we’ll be waiting the rest of our lives.

Haven’t we waited long enough?

Let’s stop waiting. Let’s get proactive. Let’s get to joy. Let’s get to freedom.

We don’t have to keep believing the old story. The Higher Holy Spirit Self will remove these thoughts from our mind for us. When we’re willing.  We have to be willing to say I’m done with this. I’m not interested in this thinking anymore.

The willingness opens the door.

This kind of mind-healing is the work I love most. It’s exactly what we explore week by week in my Masterful Living Program – learning, in community, how to dissolve these self-sabotaging beliefs at the root.

We’re done sabotaging ourselves.

LATEST PODCAST EPISODE:  We Don’t Have to Suffer  For years, I’d say I believed in God, then in the same breath I’d also believe someone was a sinner, or that I was being punished. Many of us do this. We don’t notice the contradiction because everyone we know carries it too. Then we wonder why we feel judged, why joy keeps slipping, why depression sneaks in. This week I sat with A Course in Miracles, Text Chapter 10, the section on the Denial of God. What if the door we’ve been knocking on, we’ve also been holding shut?
