“we are each 100% responsible for every experience in our lives” – louise hay

it is my belief that we are each 100% responsible for every experience in our lives … the best and the worst … we all create our experiences by the thoughts we think and the words we speak.
the universe totally supports our inner dialogue … our subconscious mind accepts as truth whatever we choose to believe … you can say it either way they both mean that what I believe about myself and about life becomes true for me what you choose to think about yourself and about life becomes true for you and we have unlimited choices about what we can think
when we are very little we learn how to feel about ourselves and about life by the reactions of the adults around us … it is the way we learn what to think about ourselves and about life … now if you lived with frightened people or with people who were very unhappy then you learned a lot of negative things about yourself and about life you may still believe them … however this is not to blame our parents for we are all victims of victims and they could not possibly have taught us anything they did not know
if your mother did not know how to love herself or your father did not know how to be gentle and kind then it would be impossible for them to teach you to love yourself or to be gentle and kind … your parents were doing the best they could with what they had been taught as children
I also believe that we choose our parents … each one of us decides to incarnate upon this planet at particular points in time and space. I believe we do this because we have chosen to come here to learn a particular lesson that will advance us on our spiritual evolutionary pathway. 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
often when we grow up we point our fingers accusingly at our parents and whimper you did it to me but really we chose them because they were perfect for what we wanted to work on overcoming… as very little children we learn our belief systems 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 experiences … well I believe that you created those experiences over and over because they mirrored something that you believed was true about yourself.
it really doesn’t matter how long we’ve had a problem or how big it is or how life-threatening it is the point of power is always in the present moment this means that what you have experienced during your life and up to this moment you have created by your own thoughts and beliefs of the past however what you are choosing to think and believe and say today right here and right now is creating your future. your current internal dialogue is creating tomorrow next week next month next year etc
