Renewal

How Do We Start Over?
As we close 2022, we are carrying with us automatically all of what we encountered in 2022, it's only natural, or is it?
Actually no it's not, ask yourself, why would you want to relive all the negative experiences you went through in the year before? seriously, why?
For me I can't find a single reason why I would want to, I didn't in the first place so the desire to relive negative experiences is simply not there yet we continue to carry them. It's about "the devil you know" right?, duh! NO, it's about your own training, how you perceive life, how you know life, but rarely how you want life. THERE'S the right path.....
Yet we reluctantly take that path, hmmmm I have often wandered why?, I bet you're reading this and thinking, wow he's got the answers right?, well, no I don't, but Im not afraid to ask. I realised some time ago that the lessons I learned were all about asking questions, and fulfilled with experience, its kind of like a sandwich or a cake, the questions make up the outsides and the experience the filling. One has to happen with the other as well as one affects the other and the outcome of the knowledge.
My lessons are made up of extreme happiness and unhappiness, If I was to ask you what unhappiness you experienced through the past year you would likely have no problem in telling me or for that matter recalling ALL of what you experienced, yet the opposite, what very happy experiences did you experience, you will actually have to sit and think, oh your mind will jump to the most recent such as Christmas for example, but if I said "Hey, what happiness did you experience in July 2022"? see...... already your mind is blank! I know, mine has just done the same thing. COVID remember that little gem? BOOM! all your negative memories have shot back into play, this is simply because you are programmed to focus on what's gone wrong and not really on what's actually given you the most joy in life.
I'm not going to sit here and whack you over the head for that, simply because it took me multiples of years to start to drain that kind of thinking out of me, right from when we are kids were programmed, primarily by our immediate families and usually to try and keep us safe, however those programmes can linger well into adulthood and can greatly affect our growth as people. Not all the lessons taught to protect us as bad though, some have great significance such as "be careful near open waters" "watch the road when you cross" and so on. But the more significant offerings such as "don't trust anyone", or "all dogs are dangerous" don't do this, don't do that will soon build up a campaign of negativity within you that is really hard to shift, and you will have chosen not to go down certain paths because these lessons were ingrained into you psyche preventing you to have the courage to try things that would normally be alien to you.
I will give you a personal example. Back home in Ireland at my farm, when my grandparents were alive, they and my parents always told me, don't go down to the lake son, its bottomless and if you fell in and sunk, we would never ever find you, also, there's a monster down there similar to Loch Ness, so, I would often look at the lake from a distance and wonder, I would study it through my grand fathers binoculars to see if I could catch a glimpse of the elusive monster, obviously I would catch a few ripples on the surface, very likely caused by a Pike Fish but to a young lad/child that's enough for the imagination to take over, the ripples, stories and sounds all combined and you have Nessie's Irish Retreat, so I never ever went down there, later in my early adulthood I went down to the lake and walked around it, I can tell you now, I remember the fear even as a 20yr old, especially when the lake was still and quiet, the fear was there and building, however after many trips and fishing trips I became more at peace there and to this day miss it enormously. The reason my family fed me fear was to keep me safe, however that fear lingered and held me back with most bodies of water right unto today where I do not like the open ocean, I won't travel by ship, and fear deep waters. so fear breeds fear, and can manifest into a fear so strong it will challenge you all the way through your life, so be aware of how you teach your children and younger friends and family.
So, carrying the negatively charged memories can cause the very same, and often leads to continued repeating of the same situations over and over, I have often taught my family, "There is NOTHING to worry about, until there is something to Worry about" so why create scenarios that have not nor may ever happen, you are planning to fail, your mind is made up that this (what ever it is) will happen, and through the laws of attraction it comes about, simply because you are convinced it was going to. Its my theory for "reading the future" Ive often been asked to do card readings for a persons future, and because Im an honest person, I tell them that the future has not been written and that only you control its outcome, I may well predict certain outcomes but its then up to you to choose what Ive given you, or reject it and that's the difference.
Trust me, Please
Carry the lessons you have learned into the new year, Not the situations
The lesson is why we are here, and the productive outcome is the bringing into play what you have learned, now that's education, repeating the same mistakes over and over and over is simply bad choices and nothing more, and that's YOUR CHOICE!
Have a fantastic 2023, and the only way that will happen is if YOU CHOOSE TO!
