No physician is really good before he has killed one or two patients.  ~Hindu Proverb

As I was working out tonight for some reason or another a negative thought tried to enter my head telling me how I just don’t do enough to improve my life.  Here I am, I have finished four books  in a bit over three weeks, I am working out, putting in forty hours a week at my job, staying involved in my family’s life and my niece’s education, as well as getting my own education in metaphysics and I just don’t do enough to improve my life.

Excuse my abbreviated Internet “French” but WTF!?  It is amazing how deeply seeded in our subconscious such self-defeating thoughts have been planted, that even after so much improvement in my life, they can still pop out of nowhere every now and then.  But there is some good news to all of this, I now recognize when this is occurring and can then change the direction of my thinking.  In the past I could work myself into a depressed state that would last weeks, even months, but now those moments are just that…moments.

It is amazing how much my life has changed over the last 15 months.  The changes in the beginning were mostly if not all physical, and then I was introduced to the Law of Attraction back in December of 2007 which brought some balance into my life by helping me change the way I look at life.  At times it seems I’m a bit slow when it comes to change, I do admit that I have an inclination to fall into the “analysis paralysis” category.  I tend to read, study, and analyze something from all angles before sticking my big toe in to see how cold the water is.  However, as the year progresses, I find myself getting more and more wet, in fact in some cases I have just jumped right in.  I am proud to say that I am in the game of life now, and I am still loving it.

I guess my whole point is to be kind to yourself.  This is something I am still learning, and not always getting it right.  It will be hard, we have been taught through fear and threats of punishment most of our lives, and we have been warned not to make mistakes, but I am here to tell you, damn the mistakes.!  That is where I have experienced some of the most fun, and learning I have ever had in my life.  Life was meant to be experienced first hand, it is time to jump into the deep end and not worry about getting your hair wet.
