The one thing I’ve learned for sure is that kindness has to start with ourselves. So much of this newsletter will be about reminding you what a wonderful, precious person you are to the world and sharing ways for you to be kind, patient, and loving to yourself and then to others.

Yes, there are reasons external to us that make our lives harder. That is true. I know that, for example, Leonard and I recently lost our 91-year-old mother to Alzheimer’s disease. That’s made being emotionally stable and positive very difficult. And we all have these types of challenges in our lives, all of us do!

That said, the real crucial block to your living an optimally good and healthy, love-filled life is not outside of you so much as it is within you. It’s what happens between your ears that creates what happens between your years! This is true for every human being.

The only thing powerful enough to keep you from having the great life you dream of is, in fact, you! The good news is that you can grow!

You see, we hold ideas about ourselves from our earliest times as children and young people that become blocks to our happiness and success as adults.

The stories we tell ourselves about who we are and what we are worthy of determine whether the world and people are safe or not, Our stories determine our actions and the people we surround ourselves with. Actions create our lives. Our crowd and friends impact our opportunities for growth and success.

The inner mental conversations we have every day and night of our lives shape what happens in our lives with money, romance, intimacy, and our health.

That is why working on reshaping our self-limiting beliefs and creating more self-compassion is so powerful and important! That is why I am offering you a free guide, and journal, which includes a powerful video lesson I designed to help you begin this process, so you can live the great life you want and need.
