(10-365) Guilt


The news of Olga's being pregnant has changed my whole perspective.  At first, I was sad and didn't know what to think, but it has been liberating indeed.

I feel free because it was I who left.  Even though it was a good decision, it was heart breaking!  I was sad that my daughter was never going to have  a sister or a brother.  She was only 9.  But now that Olga has officially moved on and that Hannah is  getting a brother/sister,  it's a good thing indeed.  The guilt that I had about the whole thing has evaporated.

I am happy.  This summer is going to be filled with a lot of excitment, and adventures.  Things will  get a lot better.

When you do what you do with enthusiasm,  you do it easier.  Enthusiasm is intoxicating and extremely contagious.  I didn't know this, but I feel this news has given me the permission to move forward.  Sometimes,  the fact that we are not moving ahead is because we have not yet allowed ourselves to do so.  Give yourself permission to experience a better life.  You do deserve better.  Guilt is a horrible thing and can be as harmful to our self-development as fear is.

Anthony Robbins said that the quality of our lives is in direct proportions to the quality of our emotional states.  We have to acknowledge where we are emotionally and know that we have choices.  The thought of being able to choose between one thing or the other is power.  When we feel depressed, frustrated, sad or angry or beaten, it is because we are not excercising this power.  We can overcome whatever obstacle that we have.

I don't know what else to write but to say that the stuff that comes out of our mouths create our lives and if we say with emotion,  it makes it even more significant.  Something magical happened today but i will not talk about it today but later in the week.  


Thanks for reading.
