I have been amazed at how my mind hijacks my quiet time by going off in multiple directions. In my sit this morning it continually sped off into wildly divergent directions, interrupting my conversation with my friend! Whoa! I have invited her dog to bite me when this happens but I think she, a dachshund, thinks it is a game and has lots of fun chasing these wild horses.

We can rely on dachshunds to chase any moving object with great gusto and dedication.

It takes considerable effort to bring these wild horses back.

I became quite despondent wondering if I would ever succeed in taming these broncos. It led to me thinking about all the fears that constantly very subtly come to the fore. Is this OK to eat? Is it OK to eat it in this way…? All the conditioning of years and years and… My goodness.

So that led to the concept of Forgiveness. Forgiveness of my mind who is only doing it’s best to ensure my survival, forgiveness of the sources who contributed to my myriad fears, either from their own agenda or from concern or love; forgiveness of myself for my judgement of me in not being the person I have the potential to be, with success in all areas of my life.

This brings me to opinions of which I have a few gazillion, masquerading as… concern for others or some other equally rational explanation, even as gifting others – it is an opinion nonetheless. Quite a challenge to catch it/me in the moment and assess as to whether I am actually an expert with expert insight or a wannabee!

The catching of my thoughts and motives is in its infancy, it feels like.

Thank you MKE for the focus on replacing bad habits with new good habits – it is my WILL.

The thought of dealing with all these fears One by One is too overwhelming but… my DMP to the rescue reinforced by other tools: the shapes, the readings from The Greatest Salesman in the World – particularly on love and Charles Hanaal with The Master Key System, teachings all build on each other in the process of convincing my subconscious mind of other possibilities.

I anticipate becoming a “self-reliant and successful person”.
