Authority - I'm the main authority in my world.

No person, place, or thing has any power over me, for I'm the only thinker in my mind. As a child, I accepted authority figures as gods. Now I'm learning to take back my power and become my own authority figure. I accept myself as a powerful, responsible being. As I meditate every morning, I get in touch with my own Inner Wisdom. The school of life is deeply fulfilling as I come to know that we are all student and all teachers. We each have come to learn something and teach something. As I listen to my thoughts, I gently guide my mind toward trusting my own Inner Wisdom. I grow and blossomand entrust all my affairs on Earth to the Divine Source.

All is well.I'm the author of my life.

Relationships - My best relationship is the one I have with myself.

Relationships are wonderful and marriages can be wonderful, but they are all temporary because there comes a time when they end. The one person I am with forever is me. My relationship with myself is eternal, so I choose to be my own best friend. I choose to love and accept myself and to talk to myself as I would to a beloved person in my life. I saturate all the cells in my body with love, and they become vibrantly healthy. I know that I am always connected to a Universe that loves me. I draw loving people and loving experiences to me. I relate with love to all of life.

I am creating lots of room for love.
