I am often asked how I became the way I am.
The conscious decision to change was over 5 years ago.
I cannot pinpoint the first thing I did on this path.
In fact, looking back, it is hard to remember just how
I lived, with the fear and stress.
The clearest point in the beginning of my transformation
was when I decided to turn off the television. For good.
I gave up the mindless watching and decided to do more
with that time. I began reading many books and watching
many documentaries.
When I decided to make a conscious effort to change my
thoughts, I started with judging. I caught myself whenever
I started to judge someone and quickly changed off of it.
Another thing I tried to check was my emotional response.
I accepted the fact that all of my responses are my choice.
I stopped myself if I felt anger, jealousy, fear, etc.. start
to creep in. After I while, I was in complete control of
my responses and could begin to noticeably keep a state
of peace.
The "Law of Attraction" information I absorbed taught me
to re-phrase statements when they contained a negative.
I switched from:
The weather is bad.
I don't like this.
I'll never has this.
This is hard to get.
I switched to:
What a beautiful day.
I love this.
I always have this.
These simple ideas began a path to transcendence I am truly gracious for.
