Jumping-off points

Life has some guidelines that it's trying to communicate with you. They should have been delivered to us at birth as a manual. So to help you out we have organized them below. Just like with games, when you get stuck, you can use the manual.
1. I am who I am.
This is the body and mind I was given and it is all I have, I cannot trade it in.
Apparently it is as I was meant to be.
Without me, as I am at this moment, creation is not complete.
I will stop to be hard on myself for things I cannot (yet) do.

2. I live therefore I make mistakes.
I am allowed to make mistakes.
I learn from the things that do not work.
Even better because I dear to make mistakes I learn.
A mistake is a 'mis-take'. Just like in the movies we move on to the next take till we get right.
This way I keep evolution going.

3. I get just what I need.
Everything helps me to fulfil my purpose on this earth.
Even tribulations, illnesses, so-called enemies, conflicts and lost loves.
If I do not realise this now, I will do at a later point.
I realise at every difficult moment that it could have been worse.

4. I am completely honest to myself.
Sometimes I need to deal with the truth in a selective way.
Being totally open and honest is not always the loving way, on the contrary.
Sometimes I need to protect myself, that is the way the world turns.
As long as I do not lie to myself, know what I am doing and why.

5. I can never please the whole world.
One might find something good whereas another deems it pointless.
There will always be somebody to criticise me.
There will always be someone who admires me.
That is why I just do what I feel is right.

6. I keep my focus in the now.
Everything happened because it had to happen, no point in going on about it.
NOW is the most interesting and fascinating moment in my life.
You have to live in the moment, the reality, the flesh and blood, that what is here now.
I am going to use memories as a useful resource and a treasure of memories but I am not going to moan about it.

7. Let bygones be bygones.
This is my body so I am here.
This the most important place on earth.
This is where my heart beats, this is where I breath, where I feel my muscles under my skin.
I am not flying off, splitting my attention, then I will be half hearted.
I am not going to worry about feelings of some people towards me, somewhere. I am here.

8. Everyone is allowed to enjoy me in their own way.
I am needed here.
Others learn from me, I learn from others.
I will leave people to their own opinions about me, be it positive or negative.
I will enjoy compliments and am able to give these out in return.
I can deal with criticism and am able to share my views in a loving way.

9. I do not have to be afraid.
I will hold my fears into the light without judgment.
Does men not suffer most under the suffering he fears?
I will await and prepare for what is yet to come though I will not run wild with thoughts of what might happen one day.
This attitude reminds me that life has the best in store for me.
If something happens that causes pain I will not have suffered in advance.
When I think about life in a visionary way I will create the life I really want in my mind's eye. That what I focus on will grow.
I need to regularly ask myself the question: "what do I want to see grow in my life."


10. I love myself endlessly.
That is why I can love other people.
In the same way I love animals, plants, trees and rocks.
Creation loves me.
Everything is love and therefore so am I. I am a small significant part of love.
