Louise Hay

We learn our belief systems as very little children, and then we move through life creating experiences to match our beliefs. Look back in your own life and notice how often you have gone through the same experience.

We choose our sex, our color, our country, and then we look around for the particular set of parents who will mirror the pattern we are bringing in to work on in this lifetime.

It seems to me that everyone on this planet whom I know or have worked with is suffering from self-hatred and guilt to one degree or another. The more self-hatred and guilt we have, the less our lives work. The less self-hatred and guilt we have, the better our lives work, on all levels.

Each one of us decides to incarnate upon this planet at a particular point in time and space. We have chosen to come here to learn a particular lesson that will advance us upon our spiritual, evolutionary pathway.

Men don't cry!' 'Women can't handle money!' What limiting ideas to live with.

Know that you are always safe. And also know that it's possible to move from the old to the new, easily and peacefully.

If I want to believe that life is lonely and that nobody loves me, then that is what I will find in my world.

As my mind can conceive of more good, the barriers and blocks dissolve. My life becomes full of little miracles popping up out of the blue.

Humor and joy contribute to my total well-being.

Well, I believe you created those experiences over and over because they mirrored something you believed about yourself. It doesn't really matter how long we have had a problem, or how big it is, or how life-threatening it is. The Point of Power Is Always in the Present Moment.

If you want to understand your parents more, get them to talk about their own childhood; and if you listen with compassion, you will learn where their fears and rigid patterns come from. Those people who \'did all that stuff to you\' were just as frightened and scared as you are.

I really had no religious upbringing, which is unusual. But I think it saved me, because when I found the theory that I wanted to follow, I did not have anything to unlearn.

When you choose to be angry you are affirming that you want greater anger in your life.

I am a Divine, magnificent expression of life, and deserve the very best. I accept miracles. I accept healing. I accept wholeness. And most of all, I accept myself. I am precious, and I cherish who I am.

I remove the work should from my vocabulary forever. Should is a word that makes a prisoner of me. Every time I say should, I am making myself wrong, or I am making someone else wrong. I am, in effect, saying I am not good enough.

My body loves my in spite of how I may treat it. My body communicates with me, and I now listen to its messages. I am willing to GET the message.

When I begin to work on myself, sometimes things get worse before they get better. It is okay if this happens, because I know that it's the beginning of the process. It's untangling old threads. I just flow with it. It takes time and effort to learn what I need to learn. I don't demand instant change.

I love myself for all my mistakes and missteps. They have been very valuable to me. They have taught me many things. It is the way I learn. I am willing to stop punishing myself for my mistakes.

Most of my problems come from rejecting parts of myself.

The biggest parts of healing and making myself whole is to accept all of the many parts of myself.

I open my arms wide and declare with love that I deserve and accept all good!

As I forgive, I set myself free and experience the bliss of inner peace.

Life always brings you what you need.

The thoughts we think and the words we speak creates our <br /> experiences.

I release all control to the Universe. I am at peace with myself and with life.

When you find Peace within, you create a Peaceful world around you.

I deserve the best and I accept the best now

I love myself, therefore, I behave in a loving way to all people for I know that that which I give out returns to me multiplied.

Just like the bright sun, I am a radiant being. Others feel safe and warm in my presence.

My day begins and ends with gratitude and joy.
