"This is your life and you get to choose how you want to feel."

"It has been my observation that most of us do not love ourselves enough."- Your Life Is Now!, page 27
Beneath themes like self-esteem, fear, relationships, forgiveness, health, wealth and remaining forever young, each chapter is accompanied by joyous living skills. First, here is a summary of the core principles:
"Affirm: What if tomorrow I was to feel worthy of having all my dreams come true?"- Your Life is Now!, page 39
Marlene starts by painting a picture of those who have wealth and success, yet they don’t feel satisfied with what they’ve manifested. They live a life of “When I accomplish this…” then I will be happy. Their constant struggle is with self-created pressure to achieve more. Striving to create the perfect life, no matter how hard they try, success seems just out of reach.
Do you know anyone like this? Perhaps it’s you. To counteract punishing self-talk, George suggests these actions:
"How others choose to live their lives is no longer my business."- Your Life is Now!, page 37
Our most important relationship is with ourselves.
As such, all the caretaking traps many of us fall into merely place our desires on hold. Have you ever tried to “fix” someone who doesn’t want to change? It doesn’t exactly bring joy, does it?
The problem is that when we have unresolved issues, we’ll be placed in situations where we experience difficulties with others who represent these people. This phenomenon is the universe offering us an opportunity to heal and transform these unhealthy scenarios to make space for healthier ones.
Toward that end, we are encouraged to:
When we decide to take back our lives, we start to feel better about ourselves. When the self-critic emerges, we can empower ourselves and make new decisions based on what will please us.
As a consequence, the peace and understanding you bring to yourself will reflect outwardly upon your surrounding world. As Marlene George urges, do not consider it selfish to feel good about whom you really are. As you practice self-care and self-kindness, you contribute to creating a better planet for everyone.
How would it be to follow your own guidance and trust that you can attain such wide-ranging positive impact? I’d say the answer is pretty good!
