We let go of what we have been told to believe about ourselves. We listen to a different voice, one that comes to us from deep within our own soul. That is the voice of love. It is the spirit telling us we are worthy and that we can overcome our problems, even if those problems seem as overwhelming as darkness.

I believe Charleston is correct because over time I am learning to let go of what I was told about myself, what I told myself about myself and listen to a different voice. Some of those voices, including my own, were telling me things through a lack of understanding and knowledge while some were lies to control and manipulate. I have found it easier to tell someone “I believe in you” rather than say that to myself and believe it. However, I’m learning to listen and trust this voice of love that resides deep within me. I believe in this voice of wisdom. And, because I’m listening and trusting this voice, I’m beginning to experience life and all of creation in new and enriching ways. I see with a new set of eyes and see more each day. Life is much more beautiful when I began to understand how connected we all are in the many threads and fabrics of life we are. I wonder if love could be the thread that binds us? I kinda like this voice of love!!!

I agree with you, Monte. It’s not about coming to see yourself as more or less than you always understood yourself to be, although that’s part of it; it’s about acceptance, understanding, and, in some cases, forgiveness. We tend to be harsher with ourselves than with others. I didn’t have the scope of understanding of this even ten years ago, and I’m still in the process of comprehension. It sure would have been nice if, when we were born, we came with owner manuals. ~grin~
Take care, my friend!
P.S. This site theme is nice! You’ve done well with it.

Yes, having the manual would save been great but then again I’d have to read it. 😂 Just seeing myself as “I am” has been such a big step for me but a wonderful gift. I’m grateful I am aware of and listen to this voice of love within. Thank you for sharing your experience and understanding of this process!
And thank you, I am enjoying this theme myself.
