It doesn’t matter what I say; it’s what my heart believes that matters. And I can lie, prevaricate, fabricate- but my heart’s voice is true. And my heart believes what my head says to it- so, it’s ultimately about my thoughts. Thoughts become beliefs. Beliefs feed thoughts. And if my heart and my life feel like they’re being poisoned, it’s probably what I’ve allowed myself to think that’s poisoning me, and so what I’m coming to believe.

From today, I will take responsibility for my reactions to everything that happens to me -even the negative, and for everything I do. It’s not about “them”, it’s about me; and until I face that squarely, I can have no power to move on, because that power- my power- will be with “them”. But it has to come from the heart, this faith that I can do it…. Because the things I believe are the things I live.
