Law of Attraction: Step One.

• Accept and Love Yourself, All of You

• I’ve been studying self-healing/self-help for at least 20 years. And only recently I found a golden nugget of wisdom in a chicken’s carcass. I’m talking about a huge yet simple lesson I just got from picking that chicken apart, limb-by-limb. As I pulled the beautiful meat from the greasy bones, fat and skin, I finally understood the inner feeling of acceptance.

• I have spent years picking my life apart, searching for the piece of knowledge that would fix my pain. But as with the chicken, the yucky bits are as natural as the good. THIS IS GOLD. For me, this means:

• Accepting my own aging bones and less-than-perfect skin while embracing my beautiful smile, open heart and warm embrace.
• Accepting a dwindling bank account while confirming my ability to bring money into my life through clear intention and good work, like the biggest magnet in the world.
• Accepting self-doubt and fear of failure while honoring my continued great efforts and “I can” attitude.

• I could go on, but I think you see a pattern here. I get that it really does take the “good” and “bad” to make all of me, my entire being full of compassion, joy and imperfection. I am—we are—supposed to be this way… Human.

• I’ve heard it said many times, “we are all perfectly imperfect.” And I’ve always blown it off thinking, “Yeah, you might be, but I’m going to be Perfect.” What an uphill battle it’s been. Striving for perfection is of course a losing game – although I played it well and mostly looked like I was winning… except when I would feel trapped and depressed.

• ACCEPTANCE is key. Not just for others but for myself. Acceptance as if God, Spirit, Buddha, whatever you call this amazing energy, was living inside of me every moment, radiating unconditional love into every cell of my being. This is an opening to life, to living. Acceptance.

• I NOW KNOW that I am worth putting my dreams to paper and drawing my desires into my life. As the Law of Attraction suggests, we are what we think. Now, with this greater acceptance of the good and the imperfect, I can effectively use all the techniques I have shared with my clients about the Law of Attraction on myself.
